Just checked out episode ten before I started my day. I'd feel bad about abandoning this Let's Watch because I was part of the reason Nexus got chosen and we have like six people who post in these threads, and most of them only post once but this show just really isn't doing anything for me.

I don't find Ultraman Nexus fun to watch while fighting, I don't find leather jacket a compelling hero, I don't feel Komon picks up the slack in the hero department...like at all, hell I don't care about any of the characters as they are all poorly written and poorly acted - and it looks like a certain couple is failing chemistry class.

The special effects are fucking terrible - that scene of Ultraman putting down the toy plane with the dramatic music was laughable and if it wasn't for these new inclusions of Faust kicking Nexus around the scaled set I'd have nothing to enjoy.

Just, blah.

So that Faust twist...was fantastic! My big problem with a lot of stories entirely built around a crucial twist, is that they write it in such a pretentious fashion and assume the audience is stupid. So you get all of these scenes which are near nonsensical and stick out like a sore thumb as the x media is sort of nudging you going 'hey, this is a clue dumbo'. So by the end, no matter what the twist turns out to be, it is always oddly disappointing because you've basically been rolling your eyes waiting for it for the past x hours.

Faust on the other hand here was a very very simple, almost dumb twist, probably for the children in the audience but because there were no THIS IS A CLUE or THIS WILL MAKE YOU GO OH YEAH AT THE END scenes I wasn't anticipating any kind of twist, so this stuff just blew my socks off.

Honestly despite my words around episode 10 (which was terrible) I really enjoyed 11 and 12.
