This is a great Ultraman series.
It's aimed at a more mature audience and is better for it. It still has the obligatory big rubber monster fights, but these are woven into a good story arc with many twists and turns.
I made the mistake of reading about the series whilst i was watching it and because of this i spoilt some of the bigger surprises. If you're going to watch it, i think you are much better watching it with no prior knowledge.
All in all, the costumes are fantastic(great looking monsters and ultraman) and the fights are quick and dynamic. The model work for the various vehicles and fights are also very impressive. The story doesn't drag despite being one long story broken into many episodes.
The one major problem i had with the series is that it constantly shows flashbacks. Sometimes to events that happened only moments ago in the episode. It's a minor gripe and they are easily ignored.
