I wasn't familiar with that one, but I do hear the similarities. I am generally not a fan of dance music, so I really only know the songs that break through into some form of mainstream success.

Trying to pick back Ultraman R/B after I sort of trailed off in the middle of last year, with episode 9.

It wasn't bad! The brother's teamwork is neat, Makoto is a fun villain, and his plan isn't especially complicated or evil, but it works to throw the hero's bond and heroic values into relief. I especially like, how, despite this being a new-form-introduction, they almost defeat him *without* the new form! Like, Water Rosso and Flame Blu had him on the ropes! There are still a few sticking points - I have no clue what an "Ultraman Orb" is, so Aizen using all that goes way over my head. Same with Ultraman Victory, he sure does have a V on his head. But, mostly, it doesn't matter, the plot is solid enough that I don't really care that much?

Ultraman Orb Dark Noir Black Schwarz is one of my favorite things about R/B :lol

He is certainly a highlight. The name alone is amazing.

Also, this is my current understanding of why the original Ultrman doesn't get a fancy name beyond Ultraman.

I'm 10 episodes into Geed -- don't have many meaningful thoughts to give at the moment, my brain tends to start thinking of stuff a little after I've finished (well, I can give the meaningful thought of IT'S FUCKING GREAT), I just wanted to drop by to say that the name of Episode 11 is really funny to me

So... the Ultra Z Riser has sounds for every Geed form if you use the corresponding medals as substitutes for the original capsules. That's insane.

This toy has: Original fusion sounds for the characters from the show + finishing move sounds for each. Then, the transformation sounds for every single Ultraman if you scan only their medal. Finishers for them too. And now fully functional fusions for Geed as well? Holy shit.

I remember the Orb Ring and the Geed Riser having similar functionality.

I never looked too closely into them but it makes sense.

I like how much unique sounds you can trigger even with your basic medals, you're not just stuck with what you see and hear in the show like with most Rider belts.

Yeah, I remember seeing videos about the Orb Ring/Geed Riser being able to do that. The Orb Ring could recognize things like Victory's Ultrans and Taro Ultra Overlapping, and the Geed Riser could do Orb's main fusions (even said Fusion Up instead of FusionRise).

What amazes me most about the Z riser though is that it has clips of Riku's voice shouting the names of his finishers. I think the other devices just had it do the finishers in its own voice.

So I watched some Ultraseven on Tsuburaya’s YouTube channel because Windom was in the thumbnail so why not?

I wanted to see Ultraseven, the legendary master of space martial arts in action and needless to say, that is exactly what I got.

Behold!
