Huh, sounds interesting. This'll be the first Western Animated Ultraman media since Ultraman USA, which is kind off amazing. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I am interested in seeing how this turns out.

But hearing that one or more of these people previously worked on Kubo and the Two Strings, which is a great film by the way, makes me more confident they'll do a good job.

The protagonist is gonna be named Ken so Father of Ultra came in mind the moment I read the article. :lolol

I will now hold out hope for this even though it's totally unlikely lol.

I'm not seeing this as related specifically to Father of Ultra, but as something that is laden to the nines with Easter Eggs, hence the name "Ken". I would watch this and expect to see name references on billboards and building directories and documents and visually similar imagery and how many classic kaiju they use or if they're making newer kaiju specifically for this.
