I also liked that pretty much anyone could use the belts in Faiz, with one notable and completely terrible exception. Near the end Gaim was kind of cool with this counting how many belts were left for the remaining riders to use.

As for the belts being pulled out if nowhere, I think Fourze made me laugh for how big and bulky it was and Gentaro would just grab it out from behind his back. On the flip side Wizard was pretty good about Haruto always wearing his handprint belt buckle.

I like that Mr. Belt is pretty mobile on his own.

Mr. Belt being a character with a personality and everything has been pretty great.

The worst thing about Mr. Belt is that there's nothing about him I can use to continue the number theme like Gaim had, what with an open padlock resembling a 6.

Just lay the belt out to make a 7. Sadly the shift cars don't make the proper angle to make a 7

So it's Ultraman's 50th anniversary next year.

Now the last few mile stones have been largely ignored in favor of giving UltraSeven all of the everything, but THIS time around, Ultraman is getting celebrated in style.

The only thing that disappoints me about this is that Lion Ha-Oh is too bulky to possibly sit on another mech and control it, so we will sadly not be able to go four levels deep.

Unfortunately yes. We already know the final mecha is a new 6 unit combination that has a rotating missle launcher for a chest and can also sit in Lion Ha-Oh in a slightly different combination.

At first I didn't like the title("Ghost" is just a little too uninteresting and lacks flair) but it looks like it might be pretty good.

It's not like being goofy or serious is the problem, it's how it is done. Kuuga was serious most of the time (and whatever comedy it had was quite calm, mostly coming from Godai's odd personality), and yet it is an amazing series. Ryuki was super serious and it was really good when it wasn't dragging on like hell (which, sadly, did happen a lot). Drive itself is quite a bit more serious than Fourze, even if it has its comedy like every series from Den-O onwards has had, and yet it is still super enjoyable.

It's the writing that saves or dooms a series, not its tone, is what I'm trying to say. A series can totally misunderstand serious (see: Faiz, full of constant melodrama that doesn't help at all), as much as it can have unfun comedy that doesn't manage to actually progress the plot or make interesting characters (I'm not a big fan of Den-O, though it isn't this level of bad...mostly)

Personally I'm hoping Ghost can stay somewhat serious, though not overwhelmingly so. Like Drive, have some deadly serious moments, but not go full Faiz. I won't complain about its tone if it is well-written though, and at the very least, the premise sounds interesting enough and I definitely dig the designs we've seen to this point. Plus I'm really looking forward to Shinnosuke being a sarcastic bastard about teaming up with someone literally called Ghost, like his constant "God" to Kouta :allears:. In short...

I have to seriously wonder if Toho didn't make a fuss or something ultra last minute.

Toho are notoriously awful to work with.

Most companies, for instance, licence a brand and you have a bunch of stuff in that brand. Toho instead has a licence on EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEIR KAIJU.

This is why NECA can only make Godzilla figures- Toho would only give them the rights to make Godzillas, and only what they deem are Godzillay enough to be Godzilla. Meaning variations, like Hanna Barbera or Marvel Godzilla, are out the window.

I hope that's not the case...

Don't it make your dick bust concrete to be in the same room with two noble, selfless public servants.

My issue is that other systems are at least internally consistent and make sense within like the show's context.
Device A goes into Slot B and a relatively self-contained process either transforms the user's body or summons power armor.
Gaim goes to like a couple of extra lengths that make it seem like a really bad idea, even compared to other systems that are also always fueled by the same power that the hero is battling against. It has to open fresh new portals to the enemy's dimension of origin in order to operate. It can summon those enemies into our dimension and is super easy to gently caress up, thereby losing control of them. Yeah, Ryouma is a gold-star sociopath, but it's sort of astonishing to me that everybody else on that project signed off on it.


Yggdrasil's plan involved methodically killing 66 percent of all humans, or whatever that number was. They even had a weapon capable of destroying an entire city in moments. And that was just by using normal science. Seems like using energies from another dimension to make fruit armor is frankly one of their saner endeavors.
