So, first impression... it's okay? But that's it really.

To me, the first episode felt like something low-budget they make as a web-series to air alongside the real deal. It's not that the effects were cheap or anything, just the overall tone felt like something - yeah, cheap.

Especially following up Geed with a huge legacy and a great background for the main character, or Orb with the really fantastic opening for the first episode, R/B feels very run-of-the-mill and more of a toy-advertisement show than it should.

They can do better; we've seen it for 3 years straight.

I hope the series gets better later, I had some fun watching it but they need to improve on almost everything to keep my interest. Characters are okay but nothing special, action was pretty weak considering that the characters don't know what to do in Ultraman form (which is logical but again, better done in Geed), the lighthearted tone is a bit annoying and a story is non-existent so far. Which is pretty standard for Ultraman but again, Geed did it much better.

Also, if they delete the subtitles form their YouTube-videos then that’s their own fault, I have no problem sitting through a few ads to support them but if that’s not an option anymore then I have no problem downloading subtitled vids from Genm.
