If you've been keeping up with news regarding that new Ultraman anime, you know one thing; this ain't your daddy's Ultraman. From what can be gathered in the second trailer (seen above), it looks like the previous incarnation of the character, which was much sillier but still iconic, will remain canon but all of the attention will go to this new, edgy, Ultraman.
All edgy jokes aside, this actually looks like a pretty competent anime with pretty good CG. Sure, most of us would have preferred a 2D anime but if the writing is strong, this shouldn't be a problem. No one complained about the Godzilla anime after all and that was a CG anime so this series has a high chance in succeeding.
Years ago, the famous giant of light Ultraman worked to protect peace on Earth. Now, a new champion arises: Shinjiro Hayata, a high-school student who must don the Ultra Suit and the worries that come with it. The son of the former Ultraman, he will become this generation's new hero! Netflix Original Anime Ultraman starts streaming worldwide April 1st, only on Netflix.
Netflix's Ultraman comes out on April 1. No, this isn't an April Fool's Joke since a manga based on this version of the character has been in syndication for a long time.
