Established in 1966 by nations all around the world in response to the worldwide outbreak of Kaiju disasters, the Global Guardian Force (GGF) deals with Kaiju and extraterrestrial life forms’ attacks on Earth. Today, Earth sees continued destruction of nature and rapid rise in global warming. One night, a space crustacean Kaiju Bazanga appears. The GGF's cleanup operation is unsuccessful, and the special forces led by Gento Hiruma find themselves in a desperate situation. This is when a mysterious giant emerges from light. It is the unidentified humanoid alien that has been rumored among astronauts for decades, code-named "Ultraman". Later, Gento is summoned to the command center, where he is officially appointed as the commander of SKaRD, short for Special Kaiju Reaction Detachment, a team that had been secretly formed. Leading a special unit that pilots a giant Kaiju-type robot artillery, Earth Garon, to respond with Kaiju disasters. While Gento is ordered to investigate the Ultraman from the Battle of Bazanga, to determine whether it is a threat that needs to be eliminated or not, he has a flashback of a faraway galaxy—a shred of memory of a blazar. "I’ll go." Captain Gento, shrouded by Ultraman Blazar’s light, with the unique members of the newly organized SKaRD, throws themselves into battles against the Kaiju with dauntless courage and an unwavering sense of justice!

A procedural drama with a Kaiju Flavor
From the production, story, acting, visual FX and OST; it's a very well crafted procedural drama with a Kaiju flavor.Especially love how they breathed life to the titular Ultraman, making Blazar an immediate standout and utterly charming character in his own right.
SKaRD is a small team that's been tasked with the impossible and I love how they put their skills and resources to achieve miracles.
It's very fun to look back on episodes and recontextualize it, making it's rewatch value very high.
The biggest flaw of this season, in my opinion, is how rushed it feels. It seems the writers had more to explore in each situation involving the characters, but were limited to just 25 episodes to develop everything. You can sense they wanted to take more risks (especially considering how episode 25 feels almost like a farewell to the protagonist until halfway through). Still, what was delivered fortunately does not disappoint. And what can be said about the effects? Tsuburaya completely outclasses Toei. The episode direction, especially during action scenes, could have been a bit more dynamic, but it’s far from bad.
Let’s see if the movie expands even more on this fantastic Ultra universe.
