[Switchblade]

Just finished the first episode and I really liked it. The cast is engaging and I like the idea of focusing more on the supporting characters while the actual hero remains more mysterious so far - reminds me a bit of Nexus in that regard. Gai himself seems fun from what little we've seen - there are a lot of shades of Zubat in him and that is a show I will always welcome homages to. I also really liked the CGI work with all of the storms and the actual fight between Orb and Maga-Basser. The show is off to a great start and I'm excited to have another new Ultraman to follow.

They remind me a lot of the Ore Journal staff from Kamen Rider Ryuki. That is never a bad thing to remind me of.
