Agreed.

There's even one episode where Godai asks Ichijo what the bodycount was from a previous UL, one that we didn't see, and it was something crazy, I'm thinking like 2700, but maybe only 1700?
Anyway, I both like that they indicate there are other incidents, life goes on, between episodes, and I dislike that life goes on between episodes and we don't get to see them all.

Yeah the budget for this show is non-existent. I know Japan doesn't have a lot of money to make these, so they usually wow me with just how far they manage to make the money stretch with a little imagination but most of Kuuga's action sequences have been pretty awful, it looks like they use up the majority of the budget each episode on showing the carnage before Kuuga cleans up and I guess that isn't such a bad thing.

But yeah Kuuga does a pretty decent job of making the whole situation feel real and big as we slowly learn about the UL and their weaknesses and come to accept that in this world hundreds of people get killed daily by monsters.

It's kinda like a toku series which points out just what a nightmare hell world living in a toku setting would be, something that your usual toku tries to not point out.
