Netflix has brought fans some incredible anime adaptations and original films, like Ultraman: Rising, but not every hit gets the continuation it deserves. One of the biggest heartbreaks of 2024 is the confirmation that Ultraman: Rising will not be getting a sequel. Despite its stunning animation, enjoyable story, and a cliffhanger that left audiences eager for more, the film’s future has been cut short. Fans had high hopes that the movie’s success would lead to a follow-up, but sadly, that is not the case.
The news comes straight from the film’s creator, Shannon Tindle, who expressed his enthusiasm for continuing the story but admitted that a sequel is not in the cards. While the decision may be disappointing, Tindle reassured fans that he has other exciting projects in the works. Though it is a bittersweet moment, the impact of Ultraman: Rising will still be felt by anime fans and newcomers alike. But this raises the queastion of why Netflix is not moving forward with another installment, because there were many different possibilities for a sequel.
