I think the difference between the original show and this one is the fact the original Ultraman isn't about finding the Land of Light, it's about defending Earth from strange monsters. So while it is a bit disappointing the viewer doesn't get to see Ultraman's home in the end, it isn't quite as underwhelming an ending as Maa not finding his parents in a show entirely about finding his parents, with the subtitle 30 Million Light-Years in Search of Mother.

I guess it also helps that we do ultimately get to see the Land of Light in later Ultra shows, but the Ultraman Kids series ended here. Perhaps the creators were hoping they would get to create further animated adventures following these characters, which is why they left the ending so open.
