I may have thoughts on which show to try next.

In other news: that moment when you're watching the second episode of Ginga S and the female characters are fighting and you can immediately tell who the director is.

Max is mostly episodic, but it has a great cast of characters, a lot of classic monsters, and it really is a classic bit of Ultra in a modern setting. Plus it's available for easy streaming on Crunchyroll.
