The premise

Ultraman Neos is a Japanese tokusatsu show, being the 17th show in the Ultra Series. Produced by Tsuburaya Productions, Ultraman Neos was initially intended as a TV series but the project was shelved. Years later, Tsuburaya turned the concept into a 12-episode direct-to-video series. In spite of the appearance of similar designs and a cameo by Zoffy, the series is set in an alternate universe.

Horror Vault's take

A classic entry in the long-running Ultra Series, Ultraman Neos sees a mighty hero rise to defend Earth against a parade of colossal kaiju threats. Originally conceived as a full television run, the project was eventually realized as a compact 12-episode direct-to-video release. While familiar faces and design cues nod to the broader Ultraman legacy, the story unfolds in its own distinct alternate universe. Fans of tokusatsu spectacle will find the signature blend of giant battles and heroic transformation very much intact.
