This was my first introduction to Ultraman and other than the lack of actual daikaiju, I think it was pretty good

Back when I first watched ULTRAMAN, I was wondering why there wasn't an intro and outro but it appears that they were being saved for this year's broadcasts in Japan. I don't really love either of them but the outro is a really cool nod to the original 1966 intro.

Unlike many anime based on Manga they take several years to catch up. It appears season 2 will likely be fully caught up with the Manga by the ti.e it comes out. I wonder if we could have a Game of Thrones situation where it actually gets ahead? The first few episodes followed the Manga pretty close, but then it got pretty diverse, substituting some characters, and eliminating while subplots, and reducing others.

I know this is way OT, but the only other Manga I really followed was The Guyver. I'm saddened it never had a proper ending, and while all the different animes are great, they never did any follow up to the last one to adapt further volumes. So much unexplored potential there.

I've watched a handful of episodes; I stopped after the big concert kerfuffle, but will probably watch it from the beginning. The fight scenes are really cool.

Okay, I finally watched the entire series. It was pretty cool.

Four incarnations of Ultraman get the Tony Stark treatment: Ultraman, Ultra Seven, Ultraman Ace, and Bemlar.

Does the series explain what happened to Shinjiro's mom? She looked pretty MILF to me, but disappears after a single scene.

Loved the fight scenes. And the movie ended answering some questions while posing new ones for the next season.

What did you think of all the changes between the Manga and the Anime? I understand for time they cut a couple sub-plots. But changing certain characters (Red King for Black King etc...) were puzzling. Also I tried to watch the anime while following along with the manga. The first couple volumes were pretty spot on, btu after that it was a LOT of skipping around and got very confusing.

I enjoyed being able to read the Manga and get more in depth in story line and understanding of the Manga Ultra-world. I consider them to be different interpretations of the same story line. I'm OK with that, because there are things you can do in a Manga that you can't do in Anime, and vice versa.

Having said that, I just read the request to not discuss the Manga here, so I won't do that beyond what I've stated here, which doesn't mention any details.

Nuts! I realized I just brought the Manga up. I'll delete what I was going to say that would have been spoilers.

I'm only mentioning the manga in reference of predicting S2 end point, not spoiler details. Vol. 17 came out this past June in Japan. Vol 16 comes out in January 2022 in the U.S. I would be satisfied if S2 of the Anime made it all the way through Volume 16. Though it will likely have to be a makeshift ending, since I doubt they would wait another 4 years for additional Manga volumes to make another anime season.

The second season of the ULTRAMAN anime is now a week away and what other way for TsuPro and Netflix to celebrate than to unveil the full OP?

Season 2 is now out! What were your thoughts on it? Personally, I found it slightly inferior to the first season, mostly because of the smaller episode count.

While a whole story was told in 6 episodes, this is pretty standard practice for Netflix now. I would expect in the next 3-6 months to get another batch of 7 episodes. I can't believe in the 3 years since S1 dropped, they only made 6 episodes in that whole time.

Overall I thought it was pretty cool, even though it had nothing to do with the Manga
