Oh man, I would've told you about The☆Ultraman if I knew you didn't know about it! Really fun little show. Considering you just got done raving about Voltron, I think it would interest you to hear it's essentially a standard Ultraman series that also mixes in heavy dashes of space opera anime flavoring on occasion. Seems like something you might really get into!

Well I'm sold. Maybe I'll start covering it whenever season 2 of the Netflix anime drops, since, ya know, I don't plan to cover that, haha.
