Ultraman 2019 (Anime adaptation of the Ultraman Manga)

Post by TypicalStandUser »

Currently ongoing with 11 volumes and deviating from Tsuburaya Production's established canon of the entire Ultra Series, the Ultraman manga is a highly requested anime adaptation. Animated by Production I.G and Sola Digital Arts. Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex) and Shinji Aramaki (the recently announced Blade Runner Black Lotus anime) are directing.

Shorthand: the Ultramen are people with the Ultraman Factor (supergenetics) and Power Armor similar to Iron Man and it runs like XCOM. The Hayatas, Dan, Seiji and Jack have power armor based on their Ultraman forms from the main canon while Kotaro/Taro is basically the Human Torch, though Taro has always been the fire-type Ultraman.

Notable cast:
Ryohei Kimura (Daryl from Gundam Thunderbolt) as Shinjiro Hayata/New-Gen Ultraman
Hideyuki Tanaka (Doflamingo from One Piece, Zoffy's current voice actor) as Shin Hayata/OG Ultraman
Megumi Han (Kyuemon from Nininger, Pega from Ultraman Geed) as Seiji Hokuto/Ace
Takuya Eguchi (Asemu Asuno from Gundam AGE) as Dan Moroboshi/Seven

This is another anime I'm seriously watching in 2019!

I'm probably going to pass on it. The design is amazing, but the story for the manga is so boring. It's disappointing because the first volume was really exciting.

Standard for those Mangakas. The same thing happened with their first Manga Linebarrels. Nice designs but weird ass plot.
