Nexus was my first Ultraman series; watched it back when we used to have Let's Watch Wednesday here. It was definitely an entry point... I tend to think of it like watching Amazons as your first exposure to Kamen Rider. I really liked it, but it was a huge culture shock when I started watching Max and all of the characters were nice to the protagonist.

Max is like it's OP: something so bright, shiny, and fun it can always brighten your day.

It's a fantastic show. Still my favorite Ultra series.

you are not the only one. It's my favorite too.

Yeah, after the drastic tonal shift that Nexus expressed, it sure was a nice back-to-basics show at the time. Which is probably why it's one of the shows I recommend for those who want to start watching Ultra shows.

A presumed lost episode of Ultraseven has now been recovered in HD:

And it's now been subbed by Kaiki Subs.

What a cool way to end the year.

Nice. I am planning to watch this lost episode very soon. Now I also kinda want to rewatch Ultraseven.
