Ultraman (2019 Anime series, Netflix)

Based on the live action series around the 60s from Japan, without having seen that, I assume it is like others of it's genre.

To the anime: It felt a bit weirdly animated, partly as if there were things recorded IRL and then in post-production changed to anime style. I felt that at some times there was a huge backlog when people were talking, think like open or closing mouths, slowly moving faces, such stuff, or doing things, were a larger time nothing happened each time, think of 1 to some seconds. This made it felt more slow than necessary. This thing got A LOT of flashy lights, and some weird movement scenes that didn't make me feel well. You might want to avoid this anime if you can't take these or are prone to epilepsy.

I actually felt the first 1-3 episodes being extremely action packed, and like the whole anime is, over the top and over exaggerated super powers and actions. But I felt this was much of an issue for me, after the first few episodes it just felt a tad bit repetitive, with nothing new to be seen. The actions scenes were IMHO going on for too long often, when I just asked myself When are they finally over?

I mean, plot-wise there have been some surprises at least, and that allied alien surely looks and sounds badass - With the latter also becoming at least a tad bit annoying to hear when you do all the time, given the voice. The Rina/model arc was pretty boring IMHO, and if I was right about post-production animating, then the actors felt a bit lackluster - or the VAs, if not. Many things in this anime were feeling cheap, and I didn't really care much for the characters, or much what happens with them.

Overall rating wise, I'd put it in the lower middle of it, roughly, like 3/10 to 5/10. I wanted to finish that season only, but I wouldn't be thrilled for when the next will release.

Maybe someone who likes these extreme Japanese Live action series and/or movies and might knew them - or the series this was based on - would like this anime more.
