Anyways those were quite nice, Cosmos fight style is a very interesting and despite Musashi being such a pacifist the episodes managed to keep a nice balance of optimism and realism. Out of three monsters, two saved and one destroyed. Anyways it's probably not worth the time searching for the whole series with this quality of subs, but I'll definitely watch the 5 that I found. |

Up to episode 18 of Tiga! Finally the return of Golza, that didn't last long A decent episode after what seems like a string of unconnected tales. The beginning of the series felt pretty strong but quickly this show becomes generic monster of the week stuff with a few twists. I still find it enjoyable but there's no real overarching plot to be perfectly honest.
Tiga is just Tiga so far, though I know he has a more elaborate past. But since episode 2 maybe no more connections have been made between Daigo and Tiga really. And the endless of amounts of throwaway aliens and enemies that are just invading Earth for the sake of it are getting old. I'd prefer to have one group of aliens continuously trying to take over or destroy the earth than 50 unrelated ones. The interesting villains seems to come around briefly and haven't reappeared yet. The only ones that have been in 2 episodes so far are the Critters, which were just awful, and Golza who went down fairly easily. The show isn't really piquing my interest but it can be entertaining at times. I hope Dyna is better.

I get to eat my words just a little bit. Episodes 19 & 20 are a 2-parter involving and invading robot army. There's a little bit of exploration of Daigo and Tiga's connection though not much of one. And there're implications about the Maxima Overdrive and it's connection to light, possibly the light of Ultras. It's a decent 2-parter but it had no long lasting effects that I can see. The invading army wasn't even aware of who sent them. I just wish the villains were more connected in this series.

Found my old VHS tape with Adventures of Ultraman on it. Can't wait to sit down with this one again! (As a bonus, it also has two volumes of Masters Of The Universe on it, plus Yogi's All-Star Christmas Caper, and a few other kids shows!)
Unfortunately, having trouble finding a working DL for The Adventure Begins. BUT! It is on Youtube, so there is always that route for viewing it, if not possessing it.

As I continue to plod through Tiga I find that a huge chunk of episodes from 21 to 35 can be skimmed pretty quickly. There's literally zero plot in a majority of the episodes. It's actually pretty jarring going from episode to episode as the tone seems to change heavily at any given time. I'm still enjoying to good ones, but the boring/bad ones are just that

I've always wondered this but never found a proper answer to it.
Was there any reason for Seven to hide from Zero his true heritage? (Besides dramatic reveal) Had he been a responsible parent Zero probably would have never been banished and Belial would have been stopped earlier. It's something that always bugs me. |

Man this page feels as if all of us were talking to ourselves.
Anyways finally got around to watching the first episode of Mebius, it was pretty awesome, it had this epic feeling around it, complete with space battle and everything! A brief summary: it's been 25 years since the last time monsters attacked earth (poor Max ), Mebius who has been recently appointed as an Ultraman by Father of Ultra is sent to earth not only to protect it but also to learn and grow. GUYS is the newest organization protecting earth, but things get quite hectic with the return of Monsters and Ultras. Mebius definitely feels like a rookie, his fighting style still need to be polished, he puts at risk the city and barely reacts once his color timer starts blinking. The current and future member of GUYS are introduced and they already have more developed personalities than the night raiders :P, also as an anniversary series there was a very nostalgic feeling about it, one of my favorite moments is when a kid asks his father if the giant before him is an Ultraman like the ones his mother saw (I suppose she passed away) it was incredibly heartwarming to see children and adults cheering for Mebius together, remembering their past heroes and their future hope. So yeah I quite liked it, I'll probably go slowly with it but it seems like it will be a fun ride. Remember! I will not go to school on an empty stomach. Remember! I will air out the bedding when the weather is good. Remember! I will be careful of cars when walking by the side of the road. Remember! I will not rely on others. Remember! I will run around and play barefoot on the ground. |
