I watched the first five episodes on Disc 5 and dear lord is the audio horrendous on four of them. They have an echo effect and then the first half of Episode 38's audio keeps dropping out. It's beginning to sound redundant I know, but did Shout! not even bother to quality check these discs?
The episodes themselves have all ranged from good to down right fantastic, so this series deserves better than the bare minimum effort. |

UltraMan Tiga Episode 10: This was an amazing episode for Shinjoh. I really enjoyed learning about his history with his sister and inspiring the child that was being picked on for being afraid. That his story helped the kid save his sister and distract the Kaiju was great and at the end when he talked his friends who were picking on him that it's not okay to pick on someone for making a mistake or being afraid was amazing. I really enjoy seeing the Guts team in action and those early episodes learning about each of the members really does help out making me enjoy everyone here. I love Shinjoh, Horii, Rena, The Captain, and Daigo a lot right now. That I can remember there names is a great help. Daigo was great in this just instinctively becoming Tiga to save Shinjoh and then destroying the monster to save the kids was great. Also, the battle was awesome I love the power form of Tiga, well I love all of Tiga's forms right now. Just a great message and inspiring episode. Can't wait for more.
UltraMan Tiga Episode 11: This was a great episode for Horii seeing his relationship with his friends and how his personality makes him lovable. Also, enjoyed his Monster Tracking technology. Daigo was great understanding Horii's plight and as Tiga just playing defense on the monster till it ran out of energy. It was a fun episode and I can't wait for more. Juspion Episode 10: Another fun episode with the prehistoric piranha here. So Mad Gallant is just so good and being bad with taking the fossil, keeping the scientist captive and threatening his family. Boomerang and Juspion both were awesome and fighting against the MegaBeast Empire. Juspion was also awesome saving the kid from the Truck and his battle in the Daileon was one of the best Giant Robo fights I have seen lately. This has been a great show so far and I can't wait for more. Juspion Episode 11: Well Mad Gallant continues to be a great villain and a great asshole. Taking out Earth's scientist and trying to discredit science was a great plan. Though science saved the day and great on whatever is in Juspion's blaster pistol that could reverse Gamagorath's effects. Juspion's haircut looks much better than the giant afro on him though I got used it and kind of actually liked but he does look better. I also loved Juspion contacting Ejin again and it would great to see him used more. Juspion was on fire kicking ass left and right in the battles here. No Boomerang but that didn't away anything from the episode. I enjoyed Juspion also taking charge to protect the scientists and his quick problem-solving skills too. I can't wait for more.

I watched the first 3 episodes today to UltraSeven X and uh... so this is actually a thing huh? o_O
Those had to be hands down some of the worst episodes from any Toku series I have ever sat through. The music was down right dreadful and it didn't even feel like they were trying to make it fit with the show. It felt like they just put a video game track on auto loop. The effects, are terrble. The monster in the first episode didn't even look like he was actually there. Did they just green screen him into the city or did they just make cheap looking miniatures? Oh, and then the monster in the third episode gets hit with Seven's Eye Slugger, but instead of being cut up he just explodes? WTF?! The effects in the original show look far more impressive than his lazy piece of putrid. Of course, it doesn't help that the video quality is vile. The characters are not even remotely interesting and the plots are just boring. Do I even need to talk about how fake looking the entire city looks? It's like they repoed their sets from a genetic opera or something. Overall, I have no idea what Tsuburaya was thinking when they crapped this show out, but they were clearly trying to bootleg the success of Garo. Damn, these three episodes made Lion Maru G look golden. |

Bycrosser 10: Another good episode. It was great to see the Bycrossers help a kid change his ways and stop lying. Sylvia was definitely was trying to get away with a lot here and magically did from craftiness lol. I enjoyed the parallels between the kid and Sylvia both with lying how the kid was being honest and managed in turned out in his favor and Sylvia lied and everything failed for her. Ken and Ginjiro were both awesome trying to chase after the Destar member with the jewels and more. The battles were awesome with their tag team moves and special abilities. I can't wait for more.
Bycrosser 11: Well this was a fun episode. Making Gin forget about Ken was a good plan but glad Ginjiro was able to overcome it. Ginjiro gets all the bad stuff happen to him from poisoning, kidnapping, and now memories being forgotten lol. Ken just has to fight alone long enough for Ginjiro to escape or recover lol. Ken is very capable though and fought valiantly till Gin recovered this time. The battle was awesome and the Bycrossers fight great; also I always love when they try to stop Gin from making it to the Gin-Kron and fail lol. Glad the kid felt bad for hurting the Girl he probably liked from the memory loss thing. Doctor Q seriously must be getting more and more pissed each time the Bycrossers defeat him. Well I can't wait for more.

So I managed to sit through episodes 4-9 of X today and the vast majority of them remained pretty bad, but episodes 8 and 9 were interesting.
I loved the Hitchcock references in episode 8 and the twist was pretty good. I hate that actor though. God do I hate him. He was awful in Kamen Rider Blade. He was terrible in Decade. And he was just as bad here. The Werewolf-like episode was enjoyable too. Oh, and surprisingly, the music in these two episodes was actually tolerable, most of the time. However, I think I figured out some of the issues i have this show. First, it feels like UltraSeven was tacked on. It's like the show was meant to be a drama about people hunting monsters and it got rejected, so they pitched it as an Ultraman show by forcing Seven into it. He's barely even in the show and there hasn't been a single lick of development for him. It also doesn't help that they haven't done jackshit to develop any of the characters at all, even Jin. Everything is so cheap looking. There's only been I believe one actual giant sized battle in these six episodes and it looked so fake. It didn't even look like they were actually fighting in the city at all. How is it that the city battles looked so much superior in the original show? Lastly, for a 12 episode story, they sure as hell haven't done anything to resemble a plot. It's just been filler episodes and that is it. |

UltraMan Tiga Episode 12: This was a fun episode for Rena and Daigo. Loved the Dolphins in it they were so adorable. I have never seen an UltraMan so frustrated at a monster like Tiga was with this trolling fish monster. Seems like Daigo might have feelings for Rena seeing how he reacted at the end. It was a fun battle. I enjoyed this episode a lot.

Special Megabeast Investigator Juspion Episode 12: Damn Juspion kicked this show into overdrive this episode. Starting off with the intense battle between Satan Gorth and Eijin which was like Giant Darth Vader vs Space Gandalf, lol. It was totally amazing to see that. Also, great to see that Eijin discovered more of the prophecy or space bible that lead to more of Satan Gorth's weakness.
The Princess was intriguing with her powers in the beginning and guiding Juspion to her but made more sense later in the episode that she was an alien messenger waiting for him. I loved how intense Juspion got after she was killed by Mad Gallant and that it seemed only to empower him. Also, he was just on fire and kicking ass today. No monster of the week was great just getting a fight with both Mad Gallant and Satan Gorth was amazing. Especially, Juspion using a fake Golden Egg and using mental manipulation on Satan Gorth. Juspion is just clever and awesome. I felt bad for Boomerang leaving but I'm glad he's going to train and I hope to see him again later. The next episode seems really exciting and I can't wait for it.
