Thinking about it, this is probably what Ultraman would look like in real life, which I think is the goal. Even so, I would love to see this. Don't get me wrong, I have and will always love and respect suitmation, but we all know how Western Audiences are when it comes to Suitmation vs CGI.

It's funny, look at Jurassic Park 1, which has been hailed as having the best effects, but if you watched the behind the scenes, you would know, they used claymation to animate the cgi, animatronics (the scene where the T-Rex broke into the kid's car, the glass was not suppose to break, those sreams were real) and suitmation (most of the tim the raptors were people in suits, like the most of the kitchen scene). Then you have Godzilla 98, where there little to no sense of realism, except for the baby zillas (sometimes they were animatronics/suits) and the rest is history.

It's only now that CGI seems to be doing well, at looking convincing, even though we are now more trained than before to spot the difference. Pacific Rim and Godzilla 2014, they had excellent effects because, if I remember correctly, they made sculptors of the designs and scanned them for the CGI models, they had motion captured their movements (making them a variation of suitmation).

I hope in the future, people understand that the best CGI, uses suitmation and claymation practices, and do not just abandon them for computer graphics which are much more expensive to create.
