6. Ultraman
An adaptation of the latest take on the prolific series, Netflix’s Ultraman follows a young man named Shinjiro after he discovers he is the son of the original Ultraman. Unlike his father however, he can’t freely control Ultraman’s power on his own, having only been born with part of the factor that causes it to trigger.
As such, he must don a mechanized suit capable of harnessing his latent abilities, allowing him to take up his father’s mantle and challenge the evil forces that have appeared. With it, he’ll start a new legend and take up the torch from his father, sparking a new Ultraman legend in the process.
Slated for an Apr. 1, 2019 release on Netflix, the series shows potential as a fresh take on a beloved series a la Devilman Crybaby.
Acclaimed animation studio Production I.G. is likewise helming the show’s production, and given their experience with 3D animated shows in the past, there’s plenty stacking up in this show’s favor.
