So I guess Griffin and Hawk are their new takes on the GUTS Eagles?

I need to catch up on Z and Trigger, but is Ace worth a watch?

It is themed on a card-based system. It has connections to GUTS-Select. And while "Sphere" was the primary villain for Dyna, it serves here as a Kaiju Prefix, though what direct relation it has to the OG Sphere is up in the air. |

Well, I’m currently 6 episodes away from the end of Ultraman C and I have to say. . . I think it’s the weakest series I’ve seen. It can’t really make up its mind over anything (Does the show have a big bad, or is it episodic), some things are just confusing (the team don’t know that Daichi is X… yet they keep discussing making new items for X’s use, which would make more sense if they knew who he was), some things just seem pointless (Why did the professor have to be an Alien Fanton, considering he doesn’t act anything like the traditional depiction of an Alien Fanton), the cast have nothing going for them (while I could say that for a lot of shows, I’d at least say the cast have personalities. Here, they have nothing) and the plot, if any, is very disconcerting (normally, I could get around that with the recap episodes, yet whoever subbed the series seems to really hate them, as all of them have been skipped over). I’d say the highlight is the returning Ultra episodes, though I still have some nitpicks with the Ginga/Victory episodes (mostly for the staging of the villains, rather than the plot).

- It seems like they're building up to that evil force that X battled with in the intro that imploded in the sun and caused the Spark Dolls to act up becoming the main threat again. - They originally just threw a Cyber Monster Card at X to give him a new armor, so it makes sense they'd keep developing them with the intention of giving them to X without knowing Daichi is X. - Professor Gourman is cooler as an alien. I don't think I've seen Fanton's before so I didn't really have any preconceptions about his character. He's just a fun personality around the cast. - I'm growing to like the cast as the show goes along. Asuna feels like proto-Yoko from Z to me, or Yoko if she were younger and more of an acrobat. Same with her relationship with Daichi reminding me of Haruki and Yoko. I was wondering if they were skipping the recap episodes because I remember the next episode preview talking about being a recap episode previewing X's new armor only for it to then be about X's new form and Ultraman Max. I thought for a second the recap was just to fool people into not knowing Max was going to show up, but I guess it's just because they skipped the recap.

Bandai’s sales figures for the past year. Placed here because Ultraman was the big winner Tokusatsu wise (and the only one to have this year’s instalment outsell last years’)

Good for Ultraman!
I did get the sense that, while critically Trigger was divisive, it was definitely popular in terms of sales. |
