So I checked out five and six now and...

These two were certainly stronger episodes than the first four or so, finally putting focus on the world of Nexus and the characters that populate it. The show isn't quite 'there' yet for me but it is improving a lot.

Sadly, as I'm huge fan of characters, it's a shame that even when focus is put on the characters all it exposes is how weak they are, like the Commander who is just a archetypal checklist, rather than an actual character, and pretty much a check list of my most hated character archetypes. At least hints in episode six suggest she may actually soften soon so we can get past this stuck up the butt shit.

However I think my least favourite character is Nexus himself, Jun, whose back story instilled so little sympathy and so much disgust I almost wanted to turn it off. At least when they did something similar with Eiji in OOO it was out of his control.

And I guess if we lived in their world, we might not jump at the chance to trust Ultraman either but the fucking plot needs to progress at some point, we were fighting the same damn enemy for the first four episodes for Christ's sake, I heard this show was short but with how slow the pacing is I'm not even sure if everything'll be established in time for the show to even have a middle section.

What was more disappointing is that even though we moved on from vagina death monsters, the new monsters didn't really mix up the fighting in any particular sense. It's just a sort of sluggish brawl that makes very little use of the fact they are both giants.

Maybe I'd like it more if I wasn't saturated by so much special effects heavy action but I am and I find this pretty boring in comparison. If anything I think I get more out of the plane action, as at least those have flashy attacks and a sense of motion, it's just a shame the planes rarely look any good.

Also, dat Twilight Orgasm.
