So, my thoughts on this trio of episodes:

-Nagi. Wow, what a bitch. I know not to let a first impression color my view of a characters, but there is absolutely nothing redeeming about this character for me right now. I'm sure she'll get better, but I really hope she dies a slow and painful death at the hands of a Beast that could have been prevented by Ultraman if she hadn't been attcking him with a Chester or something. Just go to hell you worthless character.

-Jun's backstory is really tragic. Similar to Eiji from OOO, but he was a photographer. So not only does he have to live with the horror of what happened, but the government and the like can shut him up if they please. Poor guy.

-I really liked the fights. Most fights in Toku I've seen tend to be one sided, but these felt like a true struggle for domination. It gave me an edge of suspense I haven't had while watching Toku show for the first time in awhile.

-The Beast in episode 5 was totaly had an amalgamation of various Toho Kaiju roars . I know I heard Rodan and Mecha-Godzilla in there at the very least.

Next week things look like they are going to get interesting. Can't wait.
