I also really enjoy the Otaki Crew, they're a fun group. The old guy, Goro, is likely a reference to Goro Ibuki, the creator of Jet Jaguar in Godzilla Vs Megalon, and while someone brought up that odd origin story of him, he was indeed from a contest for a Godzilla monster to appear in a later film, initially he was titled Red Alone (I'm sure some people might get the reference he makes in Evangelion), but he didn't look like Ultraman until he was projected to get his own film, which was eventually turned into a Godzilla Movie and to capitalize on the Tokusatsu Superhero boom, thus was changed entirely.

Now the titles are interesting. Episode 1: Terzetto, basically means "trio," a musical number involving three voices. Which is funny since the first episode revolved around a song. Episode 2: Gamesome, means "frolicsome," from the word "frolic." And yes, I googled these, partly because I didn't know the episodes were titled when they were fan-subbed, so count on me to translate them for you.

I'd talk more about references and such, but I'm really tired as of writing this.

Thanks for the elaboration on the titles! And yeah, I noticed a few of the Godzilla references, so that was certainly fun.

I really should marathon the movies again sometime...
