Geekery: The ‘Ultraman Factor’ Is Passed to a New Generation in Netflix Anime
With the memory of the giant of light Ultraman fading, the Earth is yet again in peril. In this new series from Netflix a new champion must take on the mantle to save humanity – Shinjiro Hayata, son of the former Ultraman, dons the Ultra Suit and fights back with the help of his friends and allies. Check out the first trailer!
Several years have passed since the events of Ultraman, with the legendary “Giant of Light” (光の巨人 Hikari no Kyojin) now a memory, as it is believed he returned home after fighting the many giant aliens that invaded the Earth. Shin Hayata’s son Shinjiro seems to possess a strange ability, and it is this ability, along with his father’s revelation that he was Ultraman, that leads Shinjiro to battle the new aliens invading the Earth as the new Ultraman.
The series debuts on Netflix April 1st.
