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!

The best part of Ultraman is that even though it puts an emphasis on legacy stronger than other Toku shows, they are usually beginner friendly.

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.
