I'd never personally watched anything related to Ultraman before, but I'm aware of the great influence the character had on Japanese television since it's introduction. He's as big as Superman or any American comic book hero ever was, instantly recognizable by just about everyone. This show is based on a manga that was trying to be a sequel/soft reboot to the original continuity, with the original Ultraman's son as the new protagonist. In our world of constant capeshit movies and reinterpretations of classic characters into a more modern setting, a show like this fits right in. The super technological spin they put on what was onceessentially alien magic makes the suits function more like Iron Man than anything. But they decide to go with Iron Man meets Power Rangers by having not just one, but a small handful of these super-suited robot guys running around.

Honestly it's not that bad a show, but it's easy to be cynical about something when you've seen it done about a thousand times already. I found it okay at best, but entertaining enough to keep you invested I guess. 7/10 average
