It's funny that Riku was sent to buy a vacuum cleaner but bought a PS4 instead.

I know right? It's not laugh out loud funny or anything like that but its such a teenager-like move that I can't help but chuckle. Makes me wonder how he expected to hid that from Raiha...

Wow. Episode 11 did not disappoint. Hectic, but with some really good storytelling.

I normally assume that a particularly awesome season of Toku will be followed by a less awesome (but hopefully still good) season, since amazing only happens so often. That this has not happened with Utraman is quite extraordinary.

Episode 11 was fantastic. Finally some more backstory on Riku and Belial. Not gonna lie, I kinda hoped he had a human mother but I guess we would've learned about her sooner if that was the case.
The action was on point once again, the scene where Geed was fighting in the background and Laiha on the rooftop in the foreground at the same time was very well done. Also, Leito's actor did a great job once again, the scene were Zero tries to gain control by force is hilarious. Can't wait for the next episode, Magnificent looks epic and I'm really interested to see what's up with that letter. Quote:

Another absolutely magnificent episode, and if you think I'm apologizing for that pun, clearly you haven't seen it yet, because it really is the perfect description. Some thoughts:
- Kei went full on Game Master here. I've seen Christmas dinners with less ham. - Until the show says otherwise my head-canon is that the thing under Riku's bed he's embarrassed about is Donshine fan-fiction and you can't prove me wrong! - That being said, it's quite admirable how much Riku genuinely feels like a teenager. That can be a hard thing for writers to truly nail down, but Geed handles it with an unusual level of subtlety. - Plot-critical conversations while playing Tekken = genius-level writing. I'm exaggerating, obviously, but it has no right to work as well as it did here. It even turns Riku wanting that PS4 into a payoff! This was a thing I loved about Orb too where every now and then things just go straight up avant-garde in the middle of an otherwise normal episode and somehow it all fits together. - This applies to last week too but getting Zero the heck out of there was SO the right move for such an important plot. As much as I love the guy in this show, it needs to be called Ultraman Geed for a reason. - That extra pumped delivery on the catchphrases during the transformation is right up there with Belial literally tearing through the screen when Thunder Breaster debuted as an example of why I think stock footage is great. When you have a status quo like that, it suddenly becomes really meaningful when you change it up. - Next week's a clip show, oh no! Except Orb did a pretty nice job with its own recap episode, so I'm sure Geed can handle it.

Minor nitpick but Geed Magnificent's transformation scene looks a little off for some reason. The movements of both Ultraman Zero and Father of Ultra for their hand gestures look kinda stiff compared to the previous transformation scenes. This was something I also noticed with Zero Beyond's first transformation.

Same here, I think they were using CG models for Zero and Ultra Father instead of actual suits.

Damn that episode was great. Like, start to finish. Even for this shows standard it was fantastic.
I love that we now slowly fade into the part of the show where Belial becomes more important. Also, this is now the second Tokusatsu show which had Tekken 7 running when something important to the overall plot and even some main character revelations happened. That'll make for some great tidbits in the future. |
