The action scenes do look nice, but man that CG-look just isn't doing itself any favors when it comes to the characters. They look so wonky and unappealing.
Interesting to note though, they apparently switched Red King for Black King. Huh. Last edited by Kiwami; 03-05-2019 at 03:32 PM.. |

The Ultraman suits and monster designs look good, mostly because they remind me of videogame cutscenes more than anything, and that I can live with. But considering what kind of emotions were prevalent in the manga at times - I doubt this style can capture them well. Still, I'm going to give this a chance because why not, it's on Netflix after all. |

Yeah, hand drawn 2D images, especially the anime kind, don't translate all that well into CG animation IMO. Being bound to the source material robs you of the freedom necessary to bring a 3D animated being to life and sticking to it gives you shallow puppets that make the viewer wish it was 2D instead.

I don't think it's really an issue when they're fighting, but any clips where the characters are talking definitely looks odd. |

Looking better and better.
Makes me want to go read the manga and hope for a live adaptation film series.

I'm not a CG fan, but I do think it can be done right when people know how to use it.

That's why it looks odd or doesn't seem to match. Because it doesn't and isn't supposed to.

I dont' really like animation much but this doesn't look terrible, and it's Ultraman so I'll at least give it a shot.
At least unlike the Godzilla Netflix Anime it seems to have a lot more of the title character. I bet if you added up all the Godzilla footage from the Three Netflix Animes it probably isn't even 15 minutes of Godzilla footage combined. |
