Ultraman Z (2020)

That was a cool Ultraman drama. The fights were incredible with one of the best camera work in ultraman. As my first ultraman series of the new generation, it was a great experience. I must say that perhaps low expectations made me like the series more, but I believe that it will still be good for those who hope to have fun. Main characters may seem shallow at first but we ended up connecting with them at the end (despite the series having only 25 episodes). It had a good pacing, maybe a little too quickly in his last act. But it was still ok. The romance-style episode of Haruki and Yoko was cute. Now on to what I thought was bad on the show: The villain. There is a saying among critics that "stories are as good as their villains". If that is the case, then Ultraman Z is bad. Fortunately, this is not a perfect saying, because despite having a badly executed villain, this remained a fun show. A show that cares about its characters more than the depth of its villain.

I recommend it for beginners in the Ultraman series or if you desire to start a tokusatsu show.
