Japan has always had rich fantasy literature. In fact, the Power Rangers we all grew up admiring and aspiring to be would cease to exist had Tokusatsu in Japan not been around. And pioneering Tokusatsu was Ultraman one of the first Kyodai Heroes. There have been multiple generations of Ultramans gracing the silver screen throughout the years. But the Netflix adaptation of the famous giant-sized superhero has totally redefined the character. So let us see how the Netflix Ultraman is different from its forefathers.

What separates Ultraman on Netflix from others?

The Ultraman Multiverse, in which the Ultra Series takes place, encompasses decades of stories, monsters, and Ultramen from the main tokusatsu television series Netflix’s Ultraman, one of the most modern renditions of the character, varies from the original and many others in the Ultraman bloodline.

It prefers CGI animation to live-action. It also skips the Ultraman supersizing, allowing the action sequences to have a more fierce, flowing intensity.

A new series deserves a new outfit. This edition of Ultraman’s trademark suit ditches the spandex in favor of sleek metal armor making even Tony Stark envious. This modern reimagining of the series may appeal to action genre fans in anime rather than live-action.

Still, there are plenty of recognizable names, villains, and callbacks to the series’ first and following episodes. So fans will have enough to cheer about. The perfect way to describe this new imagination of the traditional source material can be that the new meets old.

What is the second season about?

Although the premise of the second season of Ultraman is unclear. The trailer and the release of the first episode indicate a few plot details. We know that the Earth is under an extraterrestrial menace and that a “Disappearance Incident” has occurred in which a large portion of the world’s population has mysteriously gone.

The new Ultraman Shinjiro, Ultraman Seven, Ultraman Taro, Ultraman Zofy, Ultraman Jack, and Ultraman Ace will have to work together to destroy the threat that stands in their way.

All six episodes of the newest season are streaming only on Netflix. Let us know if you liked this reimagination of the show or not?
