Episode 06 of Taiga was great. I gotta say, the effects are really blowing my mind. The scene were Taiga's foot comes down on the street and tiny food is falling from the tiny table in a tiny, miniature restaurant - Jesus Christ the attention to detail is insane.
That being said, I think this is my least favorite episode so far, mainly because the plot didn’t do much for me and neither did the bag guy really. He was hilarious, don’t get me wrong, but I think one should’ve seen the appearance of his brother to fully enjoy this? I haven’t watched wherever he appeared so I don't really get what's going on with him.
Also, I think now's the best time I mention what I don’t like about Taiga so far: There's not enough interaction between Hiroyuki and the Ultramen. The little scenes they share together (episode 05 with the coffee mug) are great and I want more of that. I want Hiroyuki to deal with each Ultraman of the Tri-Squad for a whole episode at least. That could happen now that every member of the team had their own little focus story.
I don’t expect an Imagin-treatment but I do wish we would see more of the Ultramen, how they feel about Hiroyuki and them learning from each other.
I think I don't even care about the overarching Tregear narrative, I'm really just watching this show for the incredible fight choreography and cinematography. The restaurant shot that you mentioned had my mouth wide open, and the CG shot of Abel getting thrown across the river was incredible too. I guess the Groob experiment paid off.
As for Abel, honestly even if you have seen his big brother's first appearance (The Orb movie), it doesn't add much. The Gapiyans are basically just space bounty hunters. Charming, sure, but rather light on character. Though I did love the inclusion of the Perolynga aliens though. They're a lot less creepy than they were in their debut in Ultra Seven, and the redone suit looks great as well.
I do agree that we're long overdue for some Hiroyuki-Ultramen character growth though. The only real meat we get for the Ultra characters is through the voice dramas (which are great), but I would love an episode focusing on the Tri-Squad dynamic as well. Fuma was fun in this ep though; he's basically Ultra Naruto, and I don't just mean the running. Also, does Titas have the greatest rise sequence in the history of the franchise or what?
On next week's episode: Ehh, did we really need to bring Babarue back so soon? I know he hasn't shown up since Orb, but he feels super overused in the NG shows. Guess I can't blame TsuPro for trying to get their money's worth from the suits. When will Lord Takkong-sama finally make his grand entrance?
