If you’re interested, there’s also Shinjiro’s identity crisis, struggling with his newfound powers and responsibilities. Yup, no wonder it seems like a Kamen Rider show.
The main difference is that fights seem to be at street level this time. In this case, the villain role appears to be taken by an entity named Bemular, along with the familiar Godzilla-style kaiju we’re used to seeing on TV. The story premise also seems like standard fare: Villain comes to destroy/enslave Earth, hero defeats him, and everyone lives happily ever after – the end. The former is a reserved and serious man, while the latter is a cheerful teenager. Other individuals introduced in the trailer, like Moroboshi Dan and Seiji Hokuto, also appear to have one of their own. However, he’s not the only one with a suit. In this universe, the Ultraman mantle has fallen to a man named Shinjiro Hayata, having inherited it from his father.

The animation will be done by Production IG, who has worked on other Netflix originals such as B: The Beginning.Īt first glance, this depiction makes it look more like a Super Sentai or Kamen Rider series rather than old-school Ultraman. From father to son, the mantle has been passed to a new hero for a new generation of alien invaders… and Netflix are adapting it!

Amusingly, the manga itself is a direct sequel to the 1966 TV series. Since 2011, Ultraman has its own manga by Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi. That being said, we’re not here to discuss the past, but its very cool future. Anyway, various generations of the skyscraper-sized hero have graced TV screens for decades, and it remains popular in Japan till this day. Stay tuned for more updates.First, a confession: I still cannot, for the life of me, remember the names of more than five different variations of Ultraman. There's still no official release date set yet - it's expected to arrive in cinemas in Japan later this year. It's produced by Toho Pictures, Tsuburaya Productions, Khara Corporation, and Cine Bazar. The screenplay is written by Hideaki Anno, with Higuchi credited as director. Shin Ultraman, with the original title シン・ウルトラマン in Japanese, is co-directed by Japanese filmmaking legends Hideaki Anno ( Neon Genesis Evangelion) and Shinji Higuchi (known for his visual effects for the Gamera trilogy), both of whom made the Shin Godzilla film a few years ago.

Thus the Ultra Man is born as fashioned after the original early 1960s televisions serial that was on many Japanese households' TVs. To atone for his deeds he leaves the power and transforms a human into a hero for good and Earthly protection. Here's the Japanese teaser (+ poster) for Hideaki Anno & Shinji Higuchi's Shin Ultraman, from YouTube:Īn alien is out for justice and pursues a rogue criminal to a planet called Earth. There's quite a bit of footage in the teaser - the two monsters look a bit fake (much like Shin Godzilla), but the rest of it seems like good fun. Shin Ultraman stars Takumi Saitoh, who eventually becomes the human host of Ultraman, with Masami Nagasawa and Hidetoshi Nishijima.
This first trailer includes glimpses of the monsters Neronga and Gabora. The new Ultraman design is is based on an Ultraman painting by the late Tohl Narita in 1983 called “Incarnation of Truth, Justice, and Beauty”.
