Additionally, while thoughts are being shared, I do hope this means Ultraman is gonna get more mainstream in the west, it'd be cool being able to find more people irl that know what the franchise is.

My biggest worry is that the anime adaptation of the 2011 manga will confuse western audiences on what Ultraman is supposed to be. Yes, the show references the original Ultraman, but it could also give the false impression that he's guys in Iron Man-style suits as opposed to a giant alien hero who fights Godzilla-esque monsters. Hopefully no such confusion occurs, but it's always possible.

My only other fear is that like Powered, this will be another retelling of the original series as opposed to something new.
