Finished Ultraman X and this is without a doubt my favorite Toku show 2015. Drive was okay-ish near the end, Ghost is kinda lame right now & Ninninger and Garo are just not for me, but Ultraman X is great. Okay the story is pretty non-existent if you think about it, you have themes which carry over between episodes but in the end it’s just one monster after another.

But still, everything about this show is great. The suit-work and action are fantastic, the characters are good (The lab-girl was slightly annoying but they toned her down a lot and she did get her own episode were she wasn’t so hyperactive and generally funny), very well portrait and acted.

The drama and comedy was on point, even the silliest episodes like the football match were really enjoyable. I also appreciated the other Ultraman in the show (especially Nexus with the spotlight on the female lieutenant – that was awesome!) even though I had never seen them before. Same with the monsters, I didn’t know them but I could appreciate their legacy in this universe.

I really hope they get the gang together for a second season. I think there is a movie coming out sometime? Thought I heard about that somewhere. But I want season 2, I really do.

And a damn figure Tamashii, like really? Where is my Ultra-Act Ultraman X? Jesus. I know they’re formatting the line into SH Figuarts right now, but man I just want X. And SH Monsterarts Cyber Gomora please. Okay, that will never happen. At least I got the Spark Doll.
