If you want science fiction that respects its own premise, ULTRAMAN is available in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix and Hoopla right now. Every one of its 3 seasons holds up. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 153 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Watch it for Ryohei Kimura — the performance elevates material that could easily tip into self-seriousness. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

There is a reason ULTRAMAN keeps coming up in conversation. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry ULTRAMAN through its more ambitious moments. Decades ago, a hero from the stars left this world in peace. Now, the son of Ultraman must rise to protect the Earth from a new alien threat. Ryohei Kimura and Takuya Eguchi lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. Across 3 seasons (2019–2023), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The rules of ULTRAMAN's world are consistent enough that the big swings never feel like cheating. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Sci-fi fans who want ideas alongside the spectacle will find ULTRAMAN genuinely rewarding. Fans of SAINT SEIYA: Knights of the Zodiac will recognise the sensibility here immediately. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Ryohei Kimura anchors it with a performance that makes the more abstract moments feel personal. If you have been burned by ambitious sci-fi before, this is the exception.

ULTRAMAN wrapped up in 2023 — and 3 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
