Yup, I'd be down for more Ribut. Though I hope they would make a new suit for him that is closer to his original look, which is more hi-techy than your typical Ultra.

For fans of 80, there will be an upcoming MEMORIES OF EMI photo book in the near-future.

I posted in the Ultraman Z episode thread that I'm new to Ultraman and that was my first episode of it ever, and I really liked it. I was waiting to watch more Z before checking out the older stuff, but I'm already kind of wanting more!
For those who are more well-versed in Ultraman than I am, is there a specific season that's a good starting point? I've read a lot of good things about more recent seasons, but I don't know if there's a specific one that's typically recommended to start with or what. Any recommendations are appreciated!

Generally the best starting point would be original Ultraman, Ultraman Tiga, and Ultraman Mebius. Ultraman Nexus is also recommended if you want mature storytelling. But if you want to stick to the new generation, X is the one I recommend as it give you the general feel of past Ultra shows, as it is the last one to have fighter jets on attack teams. Ultraman Orb, despite being the 50th anniversary series, is heavily standalone. While for Geed, you need to watch the previous Ultraman Zero movies to fully appreciate the series. They did provide an Episode 0 for recap however. I would only recommend Ultraman Taiga after you watched all the previous New Generation shows. While it is standalone, in terms of visuals it is the best, because Tsuburaya is flexing at the practical affects so much, it puts the previous eras to shame.

Ultraman X and Max I think are both great back-to-basics + entry point shows. Max may be a tiny bit old by today's standards but really has a good grasp of the essence of a classic Ultraman show so it is worth it as a entry show, and X is just the same but more recent.

There are so many good starting points I don't think you can go wrong, but my particular suggestion is that, if you're curious about the history and lore of Ultraman, Mebius is both a wonderful show in its own right and a great crash course on the Showa era Ultramen while still remaining accessible to new viewers.
To put it simply, it was Gokaiger before Gokaiger, but Mebius makes the guest appearances by past actors a bit more of an occasion, with the early stretch especially focused mostly on Mebius himself, which, again, keeps things accessible. Even more than the guest appearances, I think the show represents Ultraman on a thematic level perfectly. If I had to pick one show in response to being asked "What is Ultraman?", Mebius would be it without a doubt, and as a big anniversary celebration, that's how I know they did their job right. Still though, don't feel too obligated to pick it if something else seems more interesting to you.

Thank you for the advice everyone! Since Max and Mebius are the two mentioned most, I'll start with those and move on from there. I appreciate the replies!

Watching Max and then Mebius right afterwards was how I got back into Ultraman after watching Dyna episode CDs back in the early 2000s, so I can say from experience that you've not picked a bad path!

That was mostly the path I ended up actually taking.
I watched Ultraman X first, then upon recommendation here to start Max afterwards I did that and then watched Mebius. Max and then Mebius seem to be like a good combo of sorts I feel. |
