When I first read some feedback on the show I assumed they were going to be as bad as the supporting characters on Drive or Ghost. They are far, far less annoying. Even Naomi screaming for almost a solid minute is way more tolerable than any amount of screentime Onari gets.

I rather enjoy the theme song for this show. I really only have Rider shows for reference so I don't really know, but it gives me a lot of Showa vibes. It's good.
Am enjoying the show as well. |

That's probably because part of the song is sung by Ichiro Mizuki, who was a very prominent singer of anime and tokusatsu themes particularly in the 70s.

Episode 2: I really love the SSP they are a lot of fun. They aren't getting annoying at all for me. I really like how they focus on this more civilian group looking into strange phenomena than a military unit, more of a change for UltraMan that hasn't really done this since Ginga. Gai is my favorite part of the show. He has this heroic nature and mystery behind him and it's fantastic. Juggler makes a great villain to and I am glad he is more of a hands on villain here. Really solid episode and I can't wait for the next form next week and more of what's to come.

I watched this episode and it was pretty good. The special effects didn't wow me like X did, they seemed a little average. The characters however aren't that annoying to me right now, I mean if I could survive through the first half of Drive I could make it through this as well. Anyway I'll probably pick the show back up once its finished so I can "binge" it.

Good episode.
I enjoy Gai as a protagonist, and Juggler seems like a cool antagonist. It’s especially good to have an antagonist so early on, if you remember with Ultraman X it was MOTW-plots for a long time until the siblings showed up, and they weren't even the real villains. Turns out there's this evil monster that comes into play during the last few episodes. I really disliked that about X. The MOTW plots were good enough to be entertaining but I prefer a plot where I know who represents the opposing force and where I see him doing things. Action was decent, however I feel like they burn these Demon Kings too quickly. I mean Orb is 2 Ultraman in one, but the Demon Kings have been feed with the energy of monsters which are usually strong enough on their own to give an Ultraman some trouble. I think Orb shouldn’t be so strong that he can defeat them yet. I wish we would've had more classic monsters which Juggler awakens, from which he then collects the cards and uses these to awaken the Demon Kings. Have them be some boss monsters which take more than one episode to deal with. Now, Juggler does seem to collect the cards of the Demon Kings for some purpose, but I suspect he'll be powering up himself. Which is a cool idea, but I still think monsters with legendary titles like these, infused with multiple powers of classic Kaiju's shouldn't be the first MOTW Orb faces. Character-wise, I don’t think the SSP will annoy me like I feared. They already toned them down a little bit, and they don’t make one stupid joke after the next and they also don't make weird faces with close-up camera shots. However, I really hope Cap becomes more active as the show progresses. With active I mean, do stuff some cool stuff on her own. Because as it stands she acts as the boss of the SSP, gets into trouble, screams for 5 minutes and then gets saved by Gai. I hope that's not becoming a trend. Cap should really get some focus; she didn’t do anything in episode 2 besides following Juggler. |

I'm disappointed Gai didn't run in to a photo booth to transform. I was hoping that'd be his thing.
But I liked this episode. This is a good show. |

Non-subscriber version finally went up today. I liked this episode a lot. I'm really intrigued by Gai and Juggler's relationship and history - there's a pretty good mystery being set up here and I can't wait to get some answers. I liked the big action scene at the end, too; the model work was great. One of my favorite parts of Ultraman is the detailed miniature sets and Orb is already making great use of them. I especially liked the clean holes burned through the buildings.

Episode 3: I will definitely say that Gai and Juggler's rivalry/relationship is definitely one of the best parts of the show. Also just Gai's character is freaking brilliant. I love the SSP a lot they are lots of fun. The action is totally amazing, this is some of the best Toku action going on right now. Burnmite is a totally kick ass form and those fire effects were badass. I can't wait for more.
