With that in mind, are there any specific entries in the series that make good starting points outside of, obviously, the very first one?

EDIT: Why is the word "U l t r a m a n" preventing this post from getting published? Yeesh.

I would recommend Mebius and Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle from the 2006/2007 timeframe.

Mebius had the Showa-Era Ultraman heroes and Ultra Galaxy had a lot of classic Kaiju.

Both are good in they're own right and it's a good idea to see them, in addition to the Mebius side-stories and season two of Ultra Galaxy, referred to as "Never Ending Odyssey", before going into the Zero Movies.

If you want a base feel without a lot of backstory (which cuts away at a lot) start with Ginga and go from there, but references may not always have the intended impact. In addition, Ginga is rough and may feel like an overly-simplistic entry, though the same cannot be said for its follow-up, Ginga S, which has some of the best episodes of the franchise.

That's my two cents, and it's not a definitive answer either. There is quite a lot that I haven't gotten to yet!
