What a two-parter. I'm faintly tempted to complain about Band- Uh, Ultraman Hikari showing up to just sort of hand Zero new merchan- er, equipment, but mostly I couldn't care less? There's too much excellent pathos and cool action here for it to truly be a problem. I'm totally head over heels for Geed at this point, and if it keeps being this awesome that's highly unlikely to change.

Something I find really perplexing about Geed so far has been how un-Sakamoto the direction feels. Like whenever Koichi Sakamoto is the director, it's always super obvious that it is him since there's just this list of things that he always does in his actions scenes such as:

This particular episode was great, even though I have to agree Ultraman Hikari showing up out of nowhere to hand Zero the new toys was pretty bad. Like, Hikari can just come to Earth now? Who else guesses this will never be explained or build upon in the future? Can't lie though, the new transformation sequence with all the new-age Ultraman heroes was amazing. A bit long but still great. Don't know if I really like Zero's new form though, I mean it looks great and the fight-scenes were cool, but I think this should've been a form that we see towards the end of the series just because I don't feel like this should be surpassed by what's to come. Only Geed's final form should be stronger, yet Geed hasn't even achieved his super form yet and Belial isn't even directly involved, but we know from toy scans that he will get a new form as well. That's the only thing which I don't dig too much though, the whole package is still amazing: Characters, story, action, effects, miniatures... Ultraman continues to deliver greatness. |

I think the toy-demos are the stupidest thing about those weapons, how they always cut to the human form using it like "See kids this is how you play with this, now ask your parents to buy it already". Rider and Sentai are a lot more subtle with this kinda stuff, wish Ultraman learned it too.
Design-wise I dig all of the weapons, but they need to treat them less like toys in-universe. As for Geed specifically, I like that he "unlocked" the claw, yet I hate that he uses it in base-form too, I prefer it if weapons belong to a specific form. They kinda play with this by having each form use it differently but still, I don't feel like the base form needs this and neither do the others really. it's the main reason why i stopped buying toys. |

i miss the old days of ultraman where bandai didnt need to throw toys at everything and just buy the henshin device and have fun watching ultaman with it. it feels like it's repititive thing rather than just enjoying it.

I don't know how I feel about Geed Magnificent at the moment. Everything about it looks... odd. Not good odd or bad odd just... odd. I like Brave Challenger though.

I like Geed Magnificent. I think Ultras with horns are cool and Fusion forms involving them tend to be among my favorites now. I think Geed with horns looks great, plus the armor with the shoulder pads looks pretty sick.
I look forward to seeing this one in action! |

Magnificent looks pretty good. I like that his horns are Zero's Sluggers.
Ooo, King Joe + Zetton. |
