Yeah Arc has me hooked. For one, I?m really down with the more lighthearted tone that includes an investigation / Kaiju prevention team as the main group instead of the military organizations we had the last years. Nothing against the military type, but we just had too much lately and I don?t need another round of gun-firing, jet-flying, robot-piloting heroes.

Second, I really like the camera style they have going on, especially the first person and smartphone-camera shots at the beginning and end.

Also props to the show for not opening with an origin-style episode. Instead Arc already exists and we will find out later how that happened. Pre-release press material had me interested for that specifically, as it looks like there is no actual Ultra involved here, it?s a defeat alien organism entirely who fused with Yuma and then gave him powers based on his vision of an ideal hero, the very drawing we saw early in this episode.

I?m ready for more, Arc is great so far.
