Trigger has been feeling very weak for me so far. We're over a fourth of the way through the series and I still don't feel attached to the cast at all. The villains are dull and, as has been mentioned, it's trying to be this weird pseudo-remake/homage to Tiga and all that's doing is making me want to rewatch Tiga.

The story seems to be going in directions I know I won't stand (we're planting the seeds for everyone to fall in love with the female lead, including one of the villains), and Koichi Sakamoto is just not that good at directing giant monster action. This past episode directed by Kiyotaka Taguchi was far and away the best directed one so far, and it's no coincidence the best episode so far also happened to be the one featuring Ultraman Z.

All in all, it feels like it still hasn't even started yet.
