Introduction

The final chapter is finally here! ULTRAMAN ends with the Final Season magnificently!

The story of the warriors of light reaches a climax filled in secrets!

Following the first season in 2019, in 2022 anime ULTRAMAN was released for streaming on Netflix and has gained popularity across the globe. Now in spring 2023, the Final Season will bring the series to a close, releasing worldwide on Netflix!

The series is based on the manga by Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi. Publication of the manga has expanded into 24 countries with translations into 11 languages. The animated series currently follows the same story as the manga. While keeping the spirit of the source material, now the series diverges into an alternate answer to the questions that the manga was based on. Two directors are undertaking this monumental animation project together: Kenji Kamiyama, director of the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series, and Shinji Aramaki, creator of Appleseed. This breakthrough animation co-produced by Production I.G and SOLA DIGITAL ARTS combines 3DCG animation to showcase the intricate details of the ULTRAMAN Suits with the dynamic action scenes unique to animation. This spring, the professionals of the latest animation techniques complete a new space legend for Japan’s iconic science-fiction hero, Ultraman!
