Taiga episode 3 was amazing. I'm honestly a bit taken aback by how an episode this early on was this good. The story has a lot of dimension to it, and the resolution especially hit me way harder than I expected. Hiroyuki's optimistic personality suits a plot with this kind of moral gray area well, and the dynamic him and Homare have reminds me a lot of Musashi and Fubuki in Cosmos, which is cool to see again.
The action was glorious, naturally. Tsuburaya has been refining the way they shoot Ultramen in cities a lot in the past few years, and one thing I think they've perfected is the way they use foreground objects to build perspective. Here, take a look at what was probably my favorite shot of the episode:
See that train going by? See that deck with all the chairs and tables and everything right up in the corner as though we're watching this through the eyes of someone more or less on that building? The impression of scale and depth here is seriously remarkable, and this is
every
episode of Ultraman since X. That big money shot of the camera spinning around Titas was likewise incredible, although what actually stood out to me the most there was the complete absence of background music, something I'm noticing Taiga is way more willing to do than any toku show I've seen in forever. There's not even a dedicated track that plays whenever Hiroyuki transforms. It's crazy.
One last little thing is that I love Tregear popping in at the end to remind everyone he's tough. I mean, he doesn't actually accomplish anything very meaningful, so it's arguably pretty pointless, but it's a visually cool sequence, and I like seeing the main bad guy get to be active every episode. Plus his personality totally justifies playing around with the heroes like this, so who cares?

Ginga was a pretty uneven show (and I say this as someone who loves it), but the finale as a whole is genuinely really great.
