Ultra series I've finished

Love the perspective from different kinds of people to the situation, the the ultra leads and the sense of scale. Peak toku

Cried like a bitch, best defense force ever and a phenomenal conclusion to Earth/humanity's relationship with Ultraman, specially considering that Mirai's secret is out half way through the show so it shifts gears into humanity responding to their history with the land of light.

Great main cast and touching episodes with a great finale

Best showa era Ultraman with a phenomenal lead and unforgetable episodes

Amazing show after a rewatch, just a phenomenal progression of the SSSP and a subtle as a brick to the head allegory to Jesus coming to Earth to help, but letting humanity adapt and improve and be better

The theme of trust and how despite Dan being surrounded by people he believed, could not truly trust (which he gets called up on by alien Metron) was quite interesting considering that Ultraseven is the entry with the most alien infiltrations and the small hope of trust at the end was really touching on a rewatch

Definetly the most consistent episodic Ultraman I've seen with an enjoyable cast.

Everything I wanted a New Gen Ultraman to be

The relationship humanity has with other creatures and kaiju adapting to human made hyper structures really hit for the final episode and that the most tense moment of the climax was a negociation that even by the end of the show it's an uneasy peace.

Chef's kiss

Damn great show that shines despite it's LOTS of problems during production

Awesome show about kindness being the ultimate strenght

Phenomenal episodic stuff

Very different to the Ultra franchise, but it's a thrill from start to finish

Noticed more the influence of parent figures and vulnerability the characters had in many circunstances, which the finale captures perfectly

Just everything I could want from a classic Ultra show modernized. Great defense despite most of them getting one episode and the idea of them wanting to coexist with monsters but their version of Earth not being suited yet for it fits perfectly with the rainbow themeing of the show

While constrained due to the oil crisis and lower ratings, the shift from child wonder of Taro to children dealing with tragedy and how it extends to Otori himself while also displaying some of his disconnect with those around him due to his alien nature and the healing process that is the UFO invasion arc really pushed this on a rewatch

"You are the Ace of Tomorrow" made me up my score since it focused as an even more extreme case of the last moments as an earthling to Hokuto, since unlike Go in the previous show he doesn't have a strong bond left there and Taro the next year would give a finale on the opposite direction. It's also benefited that this was a rewatch so it felt more eerie knowing how Ace's kindness was being toyed with but he decides to trust in people's goodness even if not everyone is like that, not giving his life or anyone else's for a short sighted gain like the Yapool always did

Yamato is still among my favorite Ultras and his willingness to listen and help internally the one off characters is a continuation of sorts from the school arc of the show, plus the finale feels like Ultra as a franchise accepting that it is a very different era and that their return will have to evolve since the final confrontation is something 80 and Yulian witness as bystanders rather than active participants

A return to more classic Ultra stuff, but wish they did more stuff with the Tri-Squad outside voice dramas

Slow start but it picks up fast on the second half

Interesting visually, the Garo of Ultra you might say

Good look at Juggler

Fun show with enjoyable cast, but it never reached the emotional highs of Tiga

Better than Trigger and I liked both the main antagonist and how the defense force was handled, tho again, the Dyna elements are more than paper thin

Solid show, it really started to pick up on the two part finale

Slightly better than season 1

Entertaining mini series despite the TIGHT budget

Entertaining with good continuation to Juggler's character arc

Really touching show despite it's LOW budget with a nice theme of pursuit of dreams and searching for new ones, definetly more solid than Hyper Agent Gridman, but lacking it's highs

Neat set pieces but no Tiga

More consistent than the previous series but never reached the same highs

Very boring show that strayed the most of what I found interesting in Ultraman, cool OST tho
