[GoldenXtreme]

I actually just finished Ultraseven myself and while there were some elements I liked, overall I didn't actually think it was that great. Definitely agree that a lot of it felt like Ultraman... but worse. I'll admit that it had some really good episodes and that I liked Dan and Anne quite a bit, but the show felt like it didn't even want to be a tokusatsu a lot of the time. It's not like I'm against moving away from toku tropes either, but I *am* here on Tokunation and don't think you can exactly replace the creative kaiju plots of the original with far more rote alien invasion plots and weaker suit design and fights and call it an improvement. Not to mention that the series gets notably worse later on. I dunno, I don't hate it but I don't think I'd recommend this show to someone. Very overblown reputation for sure.
