Sorry, I couldn't resist. Anyway, I definitely disagree about the New Generation designs, but this is obviously highly subjective. Zero actually does the least for me personally, although I will concede his design is fantastic.

For example, Geed won me over immediately simply for actually looking evil, because otherwise the show's message would've fallen a lot flatter. All of Orb's designs I think are super slick and refined, with Burnmite being my favorite. While I'm not too fond of Exceed X myself, I find his base form has a lot of great touches. FreshToku covered a few of them already, but I'm especially fond of his very gentle facial expression. He's the only New Generation lead not to have some degree of angry eyebrows going on, and that's super appropriate for the Ultra I feel is essentially this decade's Cosmos, all the more with the laid back, friendly way Yuuichi Nakamura voiced him.

LOL. And yeah, I can understand your reasoning for Geed. Like I said, the more I think about Geed, the more I warm up to his suit. You bring up a good point that the designers weren't afraid to make him look more menacing either. To a casual fan, Geed might even appear to be the bad guy. Orb just looks like he's got too much going on, though speaking of Burnmite, I do love the way he does like 8 unnecessary flips in midair in homage of Taro whenever he's in this form.

Still not feeling Ultraman Bose Noise-Canceling though.
