Episode 4 of Taiga was amazing. I accidentally used that exact adjective for both episodes 2 and 3, but honestly, after this one, I think it's something worth repeating every week as long as its true.
This was the best one yet, and the standards were already set extremely high. The plot here was something out of a Cowboy Bebop episode. Just a super tightly packed 20-some minutes with rock solid world-building, tight pacing, really heavy drama, excellent characterization that strongly builds on the main cast through their interactions with one-off characters who they have history with (going back to the rock solid world-building)... it's just perfect all around. This kind of crime drama stuff is right up my alley and they completely nailed it.
The action continues to impress as well. I feel like after going nuts with X (where every single episode had some insanely cool money shot), Tsuburaya has toned down how wild they get with the cinematography in Ultraman, but so far Taiga is bringing that feeling back in force. That sequence of Taiga flying around had the same
WOW
factor as something like Revenge of Belial, and anyone who's seen that movie knows what high praise that is. The best part is it's not even the only standout part of the episode.
At this rate, Taiga is on track to become something really special.
I also have to finally mention the voice dramas. I was expecting to talk about how they did a great job at humanizing the Ultramen after those first 3 episodes (as a Mebius fan, the second one in particular really tugs at the heartstrings), but then the 4th decided to go for wacky meta comedy... which was also
fantastic
. I don't want to spoil the jokes, but anyone who's been overlooking them so far should
absolutely
give them a chance since Genm Corp is doing subs for them.

Okay, now you're just rubbing it in!
Anyways, I can't argue the "toyetic" point with the Orbcalibur. At the very least, having a big circle be the centerpiece of the design is on-brand for Orb.
Also, I thought Orb Trinity looked pretty abysmal at first but for no discernible reason, I've since warmed up to it. Honestly, I probably shouldn't be arguing Ultra fashion when my tastes are this undemanding. At least we have some common ground on Thunder Breaster, but I mean, who doesn't like that form?
Although if we're talking swole Ultramen, I say OG Man in the X movie could take on Thunder Breaster and Titas any day of the week. Check him out making Tiga and X look like total nerds:
