I wasn't around when Ultra-Act was happening, so I had to looks this up and yeah, that's a chad alright.

Gotta say, as nice as super accurate figures are, there's a certain charm to "let's make this design into a figure, our way" and then have cool stuff like this:

This is cool. Pass for me though, as I don't have or plan to buy Earth Garon.

The thing is it looks very well animated for one, which sadly isn't the standard nowadays but an exception, and two, "decade old script with Ultraman plastered on top" is a crude way to put it, but accurate, not necessarily a bad thing though.

A script isn't of poor quality because it went unnoticed for a long time. Especially something niche like this. It was always an Ultraman-inspired story about parenthood involving a giant hero and a baby monster, but when Netflix picked it up it went into Tsuburaya's hands by complete chance, they liked it so much they offered the project the freedom to use the Ultraman IP.

That's what gets people excited, this project was always in hands of people who clearly love Ultraman, and now it was acknowledged by the spark that created it and thus allowed to become more than a tribute. I will definitely watch it, just to see how it turned out.
