Ultraman Blazar Episode 22: Insurance Hero

Me, GC, Name, En-chan, and Androzani all got together to watch this masterclass episode HERE.

If there was one thing that impressed me about Ultraman Blazar, it was its ability to take premises that sound like total nonsense and just gun for them.

Because really, when it comes to kids entertainment, an episode centering around an insurance salesman and an old lady he makes friends with doesn't exactly sound like top quality TV, you know?

And yet it works so well! In the span of a single episode, both characters are well developed and extremely likable, with some quality writing to match. Dialogue that feels natural, great performances from the actors(dub and sub), some great action, and of course, just a wonderful charm and atmosphere all around.

The episode even features the return of some fan favorite Kaiju, and seeing them for the first time myself, I totally get why they became favorites. Red King especially has a larger than life personality that's great to see play out. Heck, the fight that breaks out even results in one of the few wins that Earth Garon gets(technically)!

It's just a heart filled, fun episode all around. And I had a great time with it.
