I'm late and also a stressful day, but Episode 2!

It's interesting how they have a time skip, a whole year dedicated to training. Now, I was looking forward to a whole training episode, but they went the extra mile to make the protagonist actually spend time training rather than just get recruited on the spot, it's a nice change of pace. And the fact that Ultraman hasn't shown up since his debut in that timeframe is also a neat spin.

Heck, we even get the motivations (or at least what little they can show us now) of the other cast, which I enjoyed, seeing these characters grow together looks to be interesting. Also, interesting how Sphere hasn't done anything after setting up their barrier, as if they already know they won, which I honestly think is neat!

Deathdrago returns (still a cool Kaiju), and unless I'm nuts, the mountain they were ascending was the same one from Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster, which is such a nostalgia run for me. And then there's Decker's Rise Sequence, which I love. Just the changing of the pose as he rises, kind of like X, is just really cool to see.

I'm really looking forward to how Decker progresses, because it's already looks as though they've already got a good season established here.

Next Episode: Welcome to your first flying lesson!
