It's all about the special attacks this week, revisiting Ginga's attacks felt kinda lazy, but it tied nicely to the other Ultras attacks, and we get Cosmos footage!
That moment of doubt Hikaru showed at the end reminds me why I like him so much.

This is the second time this week I see Mebius beat Bemstar. :lol
He's cute.

The Special Attacks episode was a lot of fun. I really liked getting to see Taro's Ultra Dynamite, along with ZAT's crazy kitty-cat collar attack!

I am right on with your assessment of Hikaru at the end, algo. Reminded me of Hayata's questioning of whether he enjoys killing the monsters as Ultraman from the episode "The Monster Graveyard." Especially since Hikaru is a lot younger than most of the other Ultra hosts. Similarly, Taro's response to him was really good, about how the Ultra Warriors try to seek a peaceful solution if one is available to them.

Edit: Everyone notice the pun in Gan-Q's name? His name is a pun in the Japanese word for "eye," so renaming him "I-Bawl" was cute.

Just in case you guys hadn't seen, Ginga is back and the latest ep is up on Overtime :D

Well Ginga returned in the craziest way possible.

The first half is a recap, which bothers me somewhat since they had Anthology to recap all they wanted. :P
The second half is simply crazy, crazy stupid, crazy awesome, stupid awesome, just :lolol

The new developments were interesting, they are locked in school... not like that changes much, and Darker Gale is there too! Plus we finally learn the reason Taro keeps his conscience... T_T *sniff*

Next week looks fun, glad to have you back Ginga.

Hadn't seen that episode yet, but renaming Gan-Q is HaTiGra levels of bullcrap. I don't like it, no sir, but considering I might not ever see Over-Time work on Ultraman again, it's much easier to let go.

That time devoted to a recap aside, this was a nice if very quirky episode of Ginga. I'm glad it's back but man, really wish the Ginga movie could be released so it would be fully subbed too! Dark Galberos made for a more interesting costume reuse and helps to make the Nexus kaiju in general less... pink. I like the hints at the character behind the Spark Doll and that he's sticking around for another episode. Nackle is an oddball; think I'll need more screentime to see how I like him as Valkie's replacement.

Next episode looks niiiiiiiice.

The only reason why I can see that they renamed him is that there is an exchange between Taro and Hikaru which relies on the name being a pun. They could have done it by leaving Gan-Q's name as is and putting a translation note at the top, but it's only the one sequence. When I first saw the ep, it confused me more than anything else!

Also, hear hear about the movie... but still enjoying the show.

Anthology 19! Yahoo!

Another UltraSeven episode with Zero as host, it was fun, interesting to see Seven fighting at human size.

Next ep is another Mebius one, which I still need to finish. :p

TV-N has Ginga episode 8 posted. I have been watching on Over-Time, but they have not posted it yet. So I guess I'll be trying out TV-N's version tonight!

Thank you so much for the info! :D

There's a slight spoiler in here, but Ginga's coming back with at least one more episode. What's interesting about this is that it was almost completely unadvertised, the preview for the episode is the first time it was mentioned at all.
