ULTRAMAN English Sub & Dub

About ULTRAMAN

Here is what ULTRAMAN is about, retold in plain terms: an action, drama and sci-fi anime by Production I.G and Tsuburaya Productions (2019). The setup: Decades ago, a being known as the Giant of Light joined Shin Hayata of the Scientific Special Search Party to save Earth from an invasion of terrifying monsters known as Kaiju. Now, many years later, those dark days are fading into memory, and the world is at peace.

Further in, in the shadows a new threat is growing, a danger that can only be faced by a new kind of hero - a new kind of Ultraman... Shinjirou is an everyday teenager, but his father is the legendary Shin Hayata. When he learns that his father passed on the "Ultraman Factor" to him, and that he possesses incredible abilities, nothing will ever be the same again.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Ryouhei Kimura as Shinjirou Hayata and Takuya Eguchi as Dan Moroboshi. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 13 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Production I.G and Tsuburaya Productions, which means the visual identity of ULTRAMAN follows that studio's craft. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.3/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Ryouhei Kimura as Shinjirou Hayata, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2019, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
