While this is a pretty good excuse for a clip show, it is pretty much a video toy catalog
I respect that they have, like personal lives and stuff, but I hope Color Timer subs catch up. I'm just going to ignore the existence of the movie because it will inevitably take a million years to get subbed |

Color Timer catching up by releasing 3 episodes of R/B this week. Nice.
Episode 13: A clip show. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Episode 14: A bunch of cool stuff happened in this episode but it's all drowned out by Aizen's Gai impersonation. Oh my God. Also a lot of goofy stuff that I laughed at, I'm still very much a fan of this shows sense of humour and general light heartedness. Grigio King raises the stakes at the end though, Next episode should be good! Last edited by Smozz; 10-25-2018 at 07:02 AM.. |

I’ve caught up now, watched Episodes 13-15, thank you Color Timer subs crew!
I really like Tsuru, I think she works very well with the cast, the actress is cool too. A great addition to the character roster I quite enjoy already. Clip-show episode was fun, it deepened the mystery of Asahi a bit, Episode 14 & 15 work better if you watch them back-to-back, Ultraman R/B (Ruebe? I'll just call him "Rübe", sounds exactly the same in German, but means "Turnip", fun fact for your day ) is quite cool, although I feel like they missed out on an interesting opportunity here: Of course you need to show the brothers inside handling the toys and stuff, advertising 101, but I think Rübe would've been better if he had a completely unique personality. Like when people fuse in Dragonball they create a new personality that is neither part but also more than both mixed together, something special. I think I would've loved it if Rübe was a "true" Ultraman-type of guy with a different feel to Rosso and Blu with both kinda disappearing when fused. They could use a shadow-y, undefined humanoid to show off the toys inside Rübe. Just a small nitpick though, I still like this new form for a lot, the halo-saw weapon is quite cool too (and surprisingly brutal, I bet the Showa-Ultraman would love this thing!), reminds me of a trick weapon from Bloodborne with the spikes popping out and all. |

14-16
I'm really back and forth on whether I liked Aizen or not. He's kind of fun but his wackiness goes to far. The wannabee Ultraman element is by far the most interesting part. Much prefer Saki / Tsuru, though hopefully we get some answer on what she's been doing all this time other than meeting people to quote later. And Ruebe appears. Like the suit deisgn at least but his initial apprentice is very toy heavy - the Ultraman and Belial crystals, the Kiwami Crystal, the New Generation Crystal and the Ruebe Halo. Given that fusions are not that uncommon in Ultraman, this was pretty easy to predict (ignoring that we saw it in leaks anyway). Asahi feels a lot more important than a lot of Toku main girls. I guess we'll get answers about her when the mom comes back? |

I'm all caught to up to episode 16, and this show is just as great as ever. Tsuru is super interesting and adds a lot to the dynamic of the show. As much as I like Aizen, I'm not going to miss him that much. It's also very nice to see how Asahi is being treated as a proper main character and not just a walking plot point.
I do have to say though, part of me hates Ruebe. I get that since we've had Ultramen fuse together before they were obligated to do it, but considering the whole appeal of this show is seeing two brothers working together, I think it's a power up that desperately needs to be on a leash, narratively speaking. Unfortunately, it seems they're just going to be busting it out every episode whenever they feel like it. The transformation stock footage is also pretty embarrassing for poor Isami. Still, Ruebe looks cool and has a sweet weapon, so it's not all bad news.

I wpuldn’t have minded the Ruebe transformation that much if the brothers swap the henshin sequence every time they transform, but of course, Katsu being the eldest takes precedence. They do swap for their final attacks, so why not the transformation?

This is actually what I assumed would be the case, so it was very disappointing to get to episode 16 and find out we're stuck with just the one sequence. I have to say though, it's telling how good R/B is that I consider a stock footage transformation one of its biggest misfires so far.

I'm hoping they pull out something like advanced tactics or just two kaiju at once so they don't always use Ruebe. At least it's a nice suit.
Maybe other fusion Ultras will turn up in the movie. Could have Ginga Victory, Saga, Orb and Geed kind of count on their own. |
