I watched Heisei Ultraseven 1999. As with the previous episode, it's a direct sequel in the same format, but again with some changes. This time, the ecological theme is abandoned, instead switching to historical and political issues. Earthlings are advancing into space, establishing their bases and preemptively destroying any potential threat. And all this is the initiative of the new staff officer, Kaji. This initiative leads to the emergence of new enemies and the activation of old ones, discord within the TDF, and doubts within Ultraseven himself. Kazamori is also appointed permanently by Ultraseven, which leads to his dramatic revelation in the final episode.
It's funny how the show clearly took inspiration from the original Ultraman, even though it ignores its presence.
I also remembered the members of the Ultra Garrison, mostly because they received dramatic episodes focused on them. Sometimes even overly dramatic. Also, Rumi, who had previously been a passive participant, became a much more active member and the team's comic relief.
I also want to praise the cinematography. All the effects with shadows, silhouettes, images, and effects are simply magnificent. The plots are also good, although at times the show goes too far, mostly in the drama. But overall, I liked it, perhaps even more than the first episodes. I recommend it.
