Watched the first two eps of UltraSeven X (and another one of Mebius but that's not important right now). And wow that was very different but in a good way, a crazy awesome way.
The show continues on the darker and edgier tone of Nexus but it's framed in an orwellian dystopia, it condenses the story driven and character centric style of Nexus giving it a very accelerated pace that never slows down, and it's awesome. Visually the show is impressive, the effects are great, the city looks completely futuristic and the fights are pretty awesome too, granted Seven hasn't done much fighting yet but that'll hopefully change in the upcoming eps. It looks very promising, hopefully it holds up. |

Ultraseven X. Fighting.
Might have to help you out there with an upload! I should still have the movie and Final Odyssey is fantastic. Watched it well before I actually started picking up the DVDs.

Oh well, even if all he does is throw his Eye Slugger around I'm still enjoying the big guy.
And even if the following scenes are the only action scenes in the entire show I would still be happy, because it looks awesome: (Seriously anybody knows the name of the song) |

According to the opening, "X". Too bad I don't know the artist(s), since the name of the song could not possibly be more vague...

It's by a band(?) called B'z it's compeltely unrelated to the show though. It seems UltraSeven X has no op. |

Yeah, that's what I thought, hence my unheard of confusion regarding that video.

UltraSeven X: 3 and 4
3 was excellent, the villain and the "hopeless" had simple but realisitic motivations, there are also some hints for the big bad. (I hope) 4 focused on Alien Pejinera and Agent S debuted, it was fun too, wonder what the deal with the ice was... So it still runs on rule of cool, it's defintely episodic but it shows hints of a larger plot, and the battles while criminally short, show some excellent production values. The Eye Slugger is definitely overpowered but it works for me, I always thought that a mind controlled boomerang should be OP as heck. 3 also featured an Ultra battle at regular size, that was different, definitely not used to it. |

Glad you are digging Ultraseven X, I find it to be a very "modern" style sci-fi show. I really enjoyed the heck out of it myself.

UltraSeven X 5 and 6: In 5 they conmemorate Earth Peace Day which ironically featured the longest battle so far, Seven evenused his Wide Shot that was pretty cool. Of course once eveything is done the aliens return to war. *sighs* 6 was a calmer episode, dealing with a ball of light, is it you Noa? It was a heartwarming episode focusing on dreams and developing Jin, there are more hints about Jin's past as well. Halfways through and a lot of fun.

Two things:
A) I'm up to 4 in Mebius, so far it's neat, Crew GUYS is likeable and they have defined personalities, personally I would have preferred if they had joined one per one instead of all at once for no apparent reason but their episodes have been good. The other main elelment of Mebius is METEOR, banned technology developed from alien tech, it's limited to one minute per use. Not only their ships and weapons have access to METEOR but it has also been used to create the Maquette Monsters, so far Miclas is the only one they have. "Today we could fight for 4 minutes" B) The trailer at the end of the newest Retsuden ep focused on "Daikaiju Battle Rush: Ultra Frontier" an arcade game apparently, it's different that's for sure, not sure how I feel about the kaiju redesign... New Baltan is pretty cool though: |
