Great anime, the cgi improved by alot. I liked how there's 6 ultramen now. The art and the cgi looks really good compared to the first season. The fights were amazing and very enjoying to look at.

I really liked the art.

I didnt really have any dislikes

I liked the introductions of new characters and I liked the expansion of the ultraman brothers. I am hopeful that we'll see more ultramen in the future.

Season 1 was a great season. Likable characters, amazing story, nice character development and a nice world building in Ultra-verse all around. So what was the problem? Well the animation was garbage. The CG makes the likes of Arifureta s1 look like a masterpiece in comparison. Yeah S1’s CG was pretty bad which badly impacted which of which was otherwise a pretty great series. So what does s2 have in store? Let’s find out

Pros:
-I liked the latest character, Kotaro Higashi… He is pretty much a journalist that discovered the disappearance of the people in America. He didn’t have much substance in the earlier episodes; ... it was thanks to him that the SSSP realized who was responsible for said disappearance. His character truly shined for me when he became a monster for revenge for his girlfriend, Izumi. Eventually he becomes similar to Shinjiro during the earlier episode, a greenhorn with ambitions to save the world. Usually, this type of behavior would be nothing more than platitudes. But in his case, it’s pretty decent. We see his naivety like his despair cause he couldn’t save his girlfriend to the point he decarded his name to his Ultra name (Taro)

-This arc focused more on the other characters. For one thing, Jack… he didn’t do much (if any) in s1, but in s2 we truly see what he can do. It was thanks to him that Kotaro was able to control his fire power via the Ultra suit. I was kinda glad that we got to see more of him. Dan, I didn’t like him at first. He was brooding aloof and a bit of a prick. But after awhile you know he becomes more open minded, when he was accepting towards the newest character very early. His fight towards one Alien Pendants general, Alien Bell… this was his best moment. As for Souji, he was okay. He didn't do much other than save Shinjiro. And his badass fight with Alien Llubihic.

-Might as well bring out the Alien in the closet. The CG improved by a very large margin. The animation looks so realistic. The motion doesn’t look as stiff compared to s1. And the lighting also improved as well. I mean what else is there to say.

Cons:

-The story, I’ll be honest about this arc. This arc is really underwhelming. It’s just an Alien wanting to rule the earth… or at least half the earth in his book. Speaking of him, Pendant is just so damn generic. Then again this is a Ultra series, most villains are gonna have cartoonish plans. Even his methods kinda seemed cliched, capturing Ultraman for ransom for his plans.

-I don’t like the Waardan alien crew. I mean they aren’t bad, but they are sadly underdeveloped. I mean their reason for capturing the humans was understandable, but at the same token there wasn’t any depth into it onto why they had to follow Pendant’s plan. Maaya was an okay character, but the problem is that when she does ONE good thing, she dies.

Overall, Ultraman s2 was a grand improvement in contrast to s1. However, I forgot to mention it came with a double edged sword. We get good animation/CG, the episode count gets cut. Unfortunately, the next season of Ultraman will be the final season. Most likely the final season will have an anime original ending. Do I recommend s2? Of course, I mean s1 might not be the best in animation but aside from that s1 was amazing.

Mixed Feelings

Let me say this prior to anything else: the only reason I gave this anime this high of a score is because I love tokusatsu to no end. That being said, I want to know one thing: what the actual F*** happened?!

The first season of Ultraman aired back in 2019. That same year, a second season was announced. Fast forward to 2022, or three years later, and after much anticipation season 2 is finally here. A whole six episodes of about 25 minutes each, less than half of season 1's 13 episode runtime. Quality over quantity you might say? Nope. Instead, we have 6 episodes ... of rushed and messy plot.

If you don't know, Ultraman is based on a ongoing manga series of the same name. If season 1 was a faithful adaptation beat for beat of the manga, season decided to be original and diverge somewhat of the source material. The problem is that the anime condensed a big and eventful arc of the manga in a half-season. Furthermore, while they rushed the main plot of the manga and cut some of the biggest arcs of major characters, this anime had the gal to create new characters and side plots that were worse than the original. The result: a boring and uneven anime that feels empty and incoherent.

Like I said, the only reason I liked Ultraman season 2 is because of the action and tokusatsu vibe. The animation is a bit better than the first season and the first episode had me hooked for the rest of the season. I didn't know by then that everything would go down hill.

I don't know what happened, but even without an official statement from the producers of this show I'll theorize that this anime had a ton of production problems. How can Tsuburaya Prod. and the other studios producing the Ultraman anime can only deliver 6 episodes of bad anime in 3 years of production? There's no way this was the original plan for this project. Why go from a 13 episodes season down to 6? Why faithfully follow the original manga in the first season only to create a worst version of the source material? Why take 3 years to make a half season of anime? Something must have gone wrong really bad during these three years because even if Ultraman season 1 was no masterpiece, season 2 made the wrong choices at every turn and it's not even funny.

Ultraman season 2 is seriously a waste of time for everyone, fan of the first season or not. The long wait wasn't worth it and I cannot see the general audience having a good time watching this series, even with the short runtime. I don't expect a third season, but if it does ever happen I have no doubt this series will never be good again.
