Best Anime Coming to Netflix in 2019
Ultraman (Air Date: Apr. 1, 2019)
A new take on the iconic classic, Netflix’s Ultraman has a lot going for it even before release.
Set several years after the story of the original Ultraman, the plot is centered around the hero’s teenage son, Shinjiro Hayata. After encountering a new evil with the same powers as Ultraman, hellions of his lineage and must take up the hero’s mantle to save the world.
The only problem is, he still lacks the ability to control Ultraman’s powers, and as a result must don a special mechanized suit to harness them.
With it, he may be able to hold off this new threat just long enough to understand his abilities and embrace his new found role as the world’s protector in earnest.
Host to gorgeous 3D visuals and an interesting premise, the series looks to be everything fans could want from a new adaptation of the property. It also helps that Production I.G., a studio with experience in 3D animation, is involved in its production, further bolstering hopes for the series’ success.
