Stuff I enjoyed about Trigger:
- The Cinematography and action sequences. - Overarching, Ultra-esque, antagonists with well-defined looks and personalities and how they play off each other/the protagonists. The banter between the Dark Giants and their own quirks was pretty entertaining for me. - A female main villain in a tokusatsu show that actually remained the main villain through the entirety of the series (which...that's pretty rare, right? Garo has like giant naked women kaiju but they're never quite the "main villain" like Carmeara ended up being from beginning to end). - The Kengo/Akito/Yuna trio once that formed around Glitter Trigger Eternity's debut. - Obviously the Z, Ribut, and Tiga crossovers. - Ignis and his entire character/arc. If you had told me that Basco from Gokaiger would end up becoming a good guy/Ultraman, I would not have believed you (then again, I wouldn't have believed Kai from Den-O would become an Ultraman). - The best GUTS-Select episode which is episode 18, and quite possibly one of the funniest episodes I have ever watched. - Pull the Trigger (the Opening). |

Having no commercials ruins the experience though.
I mean the YouTube uploads gives me the perfect tone contrast of Ignis screaming in anguish before abruptly transitioning to "HAPPY SET" with a McDonald's commercial. And I wish I was making that up. But I'm not and it's glorious. |

So after watching several more Episodes of Ginga S, spent Thursday and this Afternoon watching through 9, 10, 11, and 12.
And I think I realize, that really, the most issues I have with Ginga S so far is the first 4 Episodes. They're rather... nothing in the grand scheme of things. When we throw out the formula by having Yapool just hijack an episode plot is where I think things start to turn around in my opinion of the show. Cause like, the mid-season climax was rather cool. But you get the episodes afterwards focusing on One Zero (Mana), Shepardon and Sho's relationship culminating in Victory's strongest weapon, Gan-Q's Tears which is without a doubt the best episode of the show, and then In Order to Meet You which is definitely my second favorite episode of the show with Tamba-San the Metron. Was not expecting the Tambourine Man I've heard about a Streamers Friend talk about, actually also be a fictional character in Ultraman but here I am. (For Context: Streamer I watch had a friend talk about this guy in like Canada who goes up to things and just smacks them with a tambourine to like bless them or something.) |

If I had a nickel for every Ultra Chronicle that featured Z’s premiere, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it’s happened twice.

I don't really like this new cover of "Kimi Dake" it's not bad just feels off. Maybe it just because I'm so used to this being an ED using a new cover as an OP feels wrong somehow.
And Marlulu finally got his "MY SWEET HOME" I'm happy for the guy honestly. Also Deban tried joining GUTS-Select I wonder if will see him in Decker...

It's been about a week since Trigger ended, which is about enough time for me to simmer my thoughts on the show. I suppose if there's a word I could describe my feelings on the show, it would be rough. Trigger is a show that wants to try and recapture the magic of Tiga for a modern audience. It's an admirable amibition to be sure, one that unfortunately the show had a rough execution on. Whether that's due to behind the scenes problems, not having the right people for the production, I can't really say. However it does feel like the show either needed more time to flesh out its concepts, or revisit the drawing board to refocus itself. In the end though, it definitely didn't meet the calibre of its namesake.
But I don't know, even despite all that, I still had an enjoyable time watching it week to week. Maybe because I still haven't fully watch Tiga so I can't succintly compare Trigger to it, maybe I accepted early on that the show probably wasn't going to meet the loftly goals it inspired to reach. Whatever they maybe, I just went along for the ride and enjoyed what did came. Tsupro are still knocking it out when it comes to the technical aspects. They are still handful of enjoyable episodes, most notably the crossover eps (I still can't believe we're at a point where Ribut is appearing in the mainline Ultra shows), and the stuff related to Ignis and Trigger Dark. And even at its weakest, Ultra still tends to strike heart with me. So while it doesn't reach the highs of previous New Gen shows, I still had fun watching it and am looking forward to Episode Z. As for Decker, while we still don't have much to go on besides the name and speculation based on Chronicle D, I am excited at those possibilities. The biggest one being that, as a homage to Dyna, Decker could be direct sequel to Trigger that's set in the same world. We haven't had that since Ginga-Ginga S and I think Decker thus has the potential to flesh some of the more underdeveloped aspects of Trigger's world. I also don't think Decker's going to emulate Dyna as much as Trigger did to Tiga outside of certain aesthetics, since one of the big rumors is that Decker is simultaneously also a New Gen celebration, given it's going to be the 10th New Gen show. Of course, this is all speculation and Decker could turn out nothing like this, so we'll just have to wait and see. Last edited by Byg42; 01-30-2022 at 10:51 AM.. |

But I'm not and it's glorious. Commercials/Ads suck A$$ and any joy out of watching YouTube. I have literally NEVER met a real person who actually would say something so absurd (imo) as “Oh,I ENJOY having a non-stop barrage of the most annoying Ads in existence CONSTANTLY INTERRUPTING AND RUINING THE EXPERIENCE OF WATCHING A VIDEO” and think it’s a good thing, and I’ve been in Advertising, and we HATED them too. LOL it’s amazing to find out the actual demographics EXISTS LOL Last edited by DH21965; 01-30-2022 at 05:06 AM.. |
