The official Twitter account for the anime of Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi's Ultraman manga revealed the anime's main visual on Friday featuring Ultraman, Seven, and Ace.
The anime will premiere globally on Netflix on April 1. Ryōhei Kimura stars as Shinjiro Hayata, and other main cast members include Takuya Eguchi as Dan Moroboshi, Megumi Han as Seiji Hokuto, and Hideyuki Tanaka as Shin Hayata.
Netflix describes the anime's story:
Several years have passed since the events of Ultraman, with the legendary "Giant of Light" (光の巨人 Hikari no Kyojin) now a memory, as it is believed he returned home after fighting the many giant aliens that invaded the Earth. Shin Hayata's son Shinjiro seems to possess a strange ability, and it is this ability, along with his father's revelation that he was Ultraman, that leads Shinjiro to battle the new aliens invading the Earth as the new Ultraman.
Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Eden of the East, Napping Princess) and Shinji Aramaki (Appleseed, Harlock: Space Pirate, Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars) are directing the anime. Production I.G (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Eden of the East, Napping Princess) and Sola Digital Arts (Appleseed Alpha, Starship Troopers: Invasion, Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars) are producing the anime in 3D CG. Nobuko Toda and Kazuma Jinnouchi are composing the music. OLDCODEX is performing the anime's theme song "Sight Over The Battle."
