Not the first in the Ultra series but one that shot it into the Japanese consciousness for years to come. The original Ultraman may show its age very early on with its rather backwards portrayal of society that contrasts heavily with what we know today, forced messaging and very limited budget, but from Episode 11 onwards you find the exact reason why this has remained a staple of Japanese Culture for nigh on 50 years.

Ultraman is a myth that went on to inspire generations and we love it.
