This series can also be watched on Shout TV, Tubi, and Pluto TV.
Synopsis
Once upon a time, various mysteries occurred on Earth. Forty-seven years after Ultra Q, mysterious phenomena strike the Earth again... Drawn to inexplicable events are three individuals with completely different backgrounds and ways of thinking: Jin Haibara, a psychotherapist; Emiko Watarase, a writer for a travel culture magazine; and Shohei Shiroyama, the master of the bar "Tobira."
While being assisted by Haibara's mentor, Professor Yajima, the three confront a power that transcends human understanding.

Trivia
- The subtitles used by TOKU, Shout! Factory and Mill Creek refer to kaiju as "ogres" throughout the series, likely due to a sign in episode 11 which displays "Ogre Liberation Front" in English.
