Just watched the first episode, and really enjoyed it. Pretty faithful to chapters 1&2 of the Manga. I look forward to following it along, seeing what omissions, additions, and changes take place, or if it stays faithful.
Also I believe this is the first really massive release of Ultraman in the United States since the original series went off syndication in the early/mid 80's. I mean I know Towards the Future had limited syndication in 91/92, the Ultraseven dub was on TNT in the mid 90's (If you happen to set your VCR like me since it aired anywhere from midnight on weekends, to 5am on some weekdays), and Tiga aired on Fox Kids in 2001/02. Additionally, the TOKU cable network has had a fairly robust representation of Ultraman, but to say all these examples are fairly niche wouldn't be an exaggeration. As a fan, I knew how/where/when to search these out. I know there are a ton of people in their 40's/50's who are going to see this as the first Ultraman since the original, and the first few minuets of the first episode are a nice setup.
Needless to say, if it takes a turn I don't like, I'm not blind to giving it criticism, but so far, I am enjoying it.
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
