It was on Youtube (still is, to my knowledge), which made it easier to do.

I'm up to episode 8 of Leo and things still aren't working for me. I don't know what it is, but the formula is really bothering me in this one. Every episode has a monster attacking, Leo can't beat it, Dan bitches him out for it, makes him do some training to get better, Leo figures it out and then defeats the monsters. I know getting frustrated at a Toku show for a set formula is kind of foolish, but it's just not jelling with me for this show. I guess I just miss the really weird and complex nature Ultra Seven had. But then, even Ultraman was quite enjoyable despite being formulaic. I've also yet to find a character to grow attached to (and turning Dan into a jackass didn't help) and I'm not finding Leo himself to be anything special. I like that he is an inexperienced Ultra, as he was a civilian and not a cop, but it makes it hard for him to really have a signature move of his own when half of the time the monsters just seem to disappear rather than be destroyed. I didn't even realize the monster in episode 7 had been defeated until Dan cheered.
Also, I really want Tooru and Kaoru to go away. I don't care if they get adopted by another family and leave or get killed, I just want them gone as they are really annoying me. |

Then there's episode 40, which was pretty much the status quo changes of status quo changes.

Random post about Ultraman so here goes.
I liked Ultraman 80 because of an Ultraman being a school teacher is interesting and fun. Keep in mind this was a decade prior to Fiveman where the rangers were teachers. They basically took Kinpachi Sensei, a popular school drama that aired its first season a year ago and got on the bandwagon to give it the Ultraman spin. And that Ultraman 80 centered episode in Ultraman Mebius was just AWESOME. Design might not have been the best but the show was nice.

I fell out of watching Leo. I made it up to the episode where Astra first appears but I kinda stalled out when the preview showed that the next one was about an obnoxious child actor playing the monster. I did enjoy the show, for the most part, but it never clicked with me like most of the other Ultra shows.

I finished Orb and and hoping to watch Orb Origin Saga. The production values for the latter look ridiculously high and I am very interested.
I have to say, I've overlooked the Ultra series for years which is sad because in truth Ultraman Seven (or Ultraseven) was the first toku series I ever watched here when in in was dubbed in Malay decades ago. I watched Ultraman Taro and got VHS of Ultraman Ace (AKA, Ultraman cuts shit up) way back. I think the only"modern" Ultraman I followed was Tiga and that almost 21 years old to this day (holy crap I am old). Somehow I was never able to hold onto my love for it but Orb rekindled some nostalgia in me. I may go hunting for past series and see if I can keep this up. |

What is a good Ultraman show to introduced a large group of people too? My Anime & Manga club at my college is doing a Live Action day tomorrow, so I was wondering.

Nexus because of its different tone, Gaia because Gamu actually does stuff as his normal self, before going Ultra.
