Ultraman Blazar felt like a return to the classic Ultra series: a focused and serious story, a protagonist who isn’t an inexperienced teenager but a family man, and a more “humble” narrative progression that avoids overly grand ambitions.
The biggest flaw of this season, in my opinion, is how rushed it feels. It seems the writers had more to explore in each situation involving the characters, but were limited to just 25 episodes to develop everything. You can sense they wanted to take more risks (especially considering how episode 25 feels almost like a farewell to the protagonist until halfway through). Still, what was delivered fortunately does not disappoint. And what can be said about the effects? Tsuburaya completely outclasses Toei. The episode direction, especially during action scenes, could have been a bit more dynamic, but it’s far from bad.
Let’s see if the movie expands even more on this fantastic Ultra universe.
