Guess it's better than Nexus where every beast would evolve / mutate into a Super Beast which is the same suit with a few more geegaws glued on, or a different headset

Meanwhile Gotchard is still kind of mediocre to me. Ah well, at least the current Sentai, Ultra, and Precure seasons are decent

Ah well, at least the current Sentai, Ultra, and Precure seasons are decent Last week's Gotchard was a big step in the right direction I felt, with an actual emotional core and growth for Hotaro so it felt like he earned his new form. Not this one, though. Gotchard I feel suffers a lot from cramming three different new forms every episode, so maybe one feels good and the rest just take time from the episode and are forced (that they normally are pretty poor CGI doesn't help either). The Rinne stuff this week was good at least. Meanwhile Kingohger is amazing in how grounded and serious it can get, especially coming after the zaniness of Zenkaiger and Donbrothers; while Ultraman Blazar takes the concept of getting an alien hijacking your body in a more mysterious and unique path than any previous show. I'm enjoying this season's toku, even Gotchard is fine but it's undeniably the weakest of the three and a step down from Geats.

I think Gotchard's problem is that it's really put its toy foot first. It's too Hotaro-focused to really get into what alchemy does and means in the setting, despite him being the viewpoint protagonist being introduced into the world... and yet, Hotaro himself only engages with Chemies. Like, the thing that makes him special is that he's nice to Chemies. He's not nice in general. It's not that he's naturally compassionate or curious, or that he has a background that makes him view things a certain way. He has one friend outside of alchemy school and they've barely talked since the first episode. He just likes Chemies, and everyone else is just here to be the strawman alchemist society that doesn't understand Chemies, but not for any reason that says anything interesting about them or Chemies.

Yeah, I don't completely hate Gotchard and feel like it still has potential but it hasn't completely sold me yet either (Hotaro basically seems like Eiji from OOO only far less interesting). I agree last week's episode was decent though One thing that's interesting about Blazar is that it's the first Ultra show where even the host doesn't fully know what's going on and as we've seen, sometimes their ideals can clash with the Ultra a bit (even the transformation device is summoned on Blazar's command rather than Gento's). The inevitable identity reveal is gonna be a unique one at least

New Ganba Legends update brings, who else, Gotchard into the mix. Interestingly, all his finishers are slightly changed, with the Wild Modes removed - I imagine simply because that'd mean making models for them. It also shows AntWrestler before its actual debut next episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPFz3Mnq2MM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT9r_jZSNe0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19bfigdM2V4 It also added other Riders but most of them are just true to the series, I'm posting Tycoon Bujin Sword specifically because I'm surprised they kept the sword reflection, I guess it's just iconic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FebIeiJ3tT0

It's great if you haven't been following the series closely and want a refresher or a good jumping on point. It's also good in that some of the characters are coming to their own conclusions that they weren't able to beforehand, conclusions about others on the team and their immediate command. There's pretty much no plot advancement though

The cave from the latest episode of King Ohger was already used in an earlier episode, so the only logical conclusion is that there are two identical caves in Terra and Earth.

I finally watched Shin Ultraman. I'm just gonna repost my review from the October thread here for eveyone to agree with I loved the first half, largely enjoyed the second half, didn't like the ending This movie starts out insanely fast paced. We get a super quick summary of the first appearances of kaiju, leading to the creation of the SSSP, which them immediately deposits us into an SSSP mission, the multiple schemes they come up with to try to stop the Neronga, and then Ultraman appears, and then a quick overview of political reactions to Ultraman, then the next mission, then Alien Zarab shows up. I wouldn't call it rushed, more like vacuum sealed. They took all the air out and concentrated it down as tight as possible. Which I fully enjoyed. Lots of people in military tents talking about the latest energy readings, extremely my poo poo. It does start to slow down in the Alien Zarab part, or at least that's when it stays on one thing for awhile. It definitely slows down with Alien Mefilas, and the final part with Zetton almost approached the pacing of a normal fast paced movie. Which ironically means that the part with the actual ticking clock is also the slowest paced part of the whole movie. And to be honest, I didn't like the conclusion of the Zetton stuff, which is the climax and conclusion of the whole movie. Like, they have the whole of humanity's knowledge come together and the solution is "press the button twice". They didn't even build a gizmo! They definitely should have built a gizmo. What makes it especially stand out as bad is that this movie takes so much from the original show and either does it basically faithfully or puts a new and interesting twist on it. But the Zetton is just strictly worse than how it happened in the show. In the show, humanity defeated Zetton. Ultraman straight up couldn't, he wasn't strong enough, but humanity's ingenuity could. It was important because it showed humanity wasn't reliant on Ultraman forever, we were growing and becoming stronger and nearing the point where we could stand on our own feet. So to have Ultraman defeat Zetton using his own drat Beta Capsule based on advice from humanity that frankly I doubt Ultraman couldn't have figured out on his own, is a strict downgrade. It's tough because as I said, I loved this movie early on when it's just ripping through SSSP adventures. But the ending didn't work for me at all.

Garo is basically self-funded by stunt performers, right? Presumably it gets made when and if they can raise capital, kinda regardless of how "well" it does.

Gotchard is really not selling me on the whole "I tried to write Rinne as an entire partner main character, not just a sidekick/love interest" right now. Also Hotaro sure spends a lot of time this episode spying on people?

The show keeps suggesting she might do something then backs off, but the intro sure is suggesting she's getting a belt eventually. Or maybe she won't and that part of the intro is just going to be weird nonsense, who knows. Either way, I'm curious to see where they're going with this
