Okay episode 8 has been a huge turnaround in this show for me. A villain that not only is some sort of meta commentary on how Ultras have changed over the years, but also actively perverts the morals and messages of the show he draws his powers from? R/B you are spoiling us.

Episode 9 isn't quite the absolute masterpiece that 8 was, but that might only be because I wasn't expecting how amazing Orb Dark is last time. It's still great, and one thing I especially appreciate is how much thought seemed to go into the scripts for both these episodes.
Aizen's motivations, for example, are actually totally internally consistent with that big checklist on the report card in episode 8 which made it clear that, in-universe, he literally sees Ultraman the same way a viewer out-of-universe (or even a writer) does. It's basically like pro wrestling to him, with the routine of a cool hero fighting a villain being more important than the reality. Hence his willingness to cause the problems he solves. I don't know, I'm probably making this sound more complex than it is, but considering how easy it is for a character like this to use "he's crazy!" as an excuse for sloppy characterization, I'm just impressed R/B has found the time to do this big metaphor for people who wouldn't like R/B, have it make sense, AND still make room for constant references to Orb and other past Ultraman shows in the dialogue without sounding awkward or forced while they're at it.

I'm surprised that the bros got their payback so soon. I thought it would last for at least 2 episodes. Hope we'll get to see Orb Dark again soon

My favourite dumb thing about episode 9 is that Aizen paid for all of those shirts he ordered and is actually going to use them all. Aizen is great.
But yeah these last couple of episodes have been so good. Keep it up, R/B! |

This is my favorite show of this season above LupPats and Zi-O. Hands down. And it's all because of Aizen. When I have time I fully intend to do screen caps because some of the over the top is just too fun.

You can't just help liking Aizen. First, he pays for the shirts that he ordered from our heroes and now he still offers them lucrative overseas jobs even after they get beaten by Horoboros.

Well, episode 10 of (O)R/B (Dark) is definitely not doing anything to break this show's hot streak. This whole storyline right now is so brilliant and so fresh it's almost got me worried whatever comes after can't possibly live up to it. Almost.

I'm almost certain you said just about the same thing regarding Geed last year. In this case, it's good to be proven wrong.

I had a lightbulb moment just now watching ep. 10. Aizen is playing by the Akibaranger handbook. No wonder I like it so much.
