Reviews
While Ultraman Orb: The Chronicle has limited coverage from mainstream critics, fan and user reviews illustrate a mix of appreciation and criticism.
According to IMDb, the show holds a 7.5/10 rating based on 438 user reviews. Many viewers praise the nostalgic trip, with one reviewer noting: "It's a perfect way to relive Orb's most epic battles without filler episodes." However, some felt the lack of new content results in a repetitive feel: "The clips are exciting, but die-hard fans might crave fresh storylines."
Rotten Tomatoes does not list a Tomatometer score for Ultraman Orb: The Chronicle, but it carries a 62% audience score from 189 ratings. The general consensus on the site reads: "A concise compilation that delivers fan service, though it offers little beyond highlights of the original series."
Specialist outlet TokuNation awarded the series 3.5 out of 5 stars, praising Hideo Ishiguro’s in-character introductions as "a well-curated compilation that celebrates the best of Ultraman Orb," while also commenting that "viewers looking for new plot developments might find the format lacking in substance." Similarly, fan bloggers on TokuCentral commended the streamlined pacing but suggested that the absence of unedited episodes makes it feel more like a clip show than a standalone series.
Overall, critics and fans agree that Ultraman Orb: The Chronicle excels as a nostalgia-packed recap for newcomers but may underwhelm those seeking fresh narratives.
