Shin Ultraman
When Japan's SSSP kaiju defence taskforce finds itself in the midst of a particularly challenging kaiju encounter, a giant silver robot descends from the sky to rescue the country. Dubbed Ultraman, this robot's identity and purpose are a mystery. As further alien forces arrive on earth, the taskforce, led by Kimio Tamura (Hidetoshi Nishijima, Drive My Car), attempt to identify their true intentions.
