Saga is a great movie, by the way. It's no coincidence Dyna shines so much in it, because it was written by Dyna's head writer, Keiichi Hasegawa, who also poured his heart into doing series composition and writing for Nexus (which is hugely different tonally, but arguably not thematically). On top of all the other Ultraman shows he's written for. The Gokaiger comparison is apt, because I've always considered him a sort of broad equivalent to what Arakawa is for Sentai. A super prolific writer with a clear passion for the franchise. And I mean, he wrote like a third of Kamen Rider W, too, which isn't strictly relevant to this thread, but... the man does good work, is the point.

Max I consistently hear good things about! Namely that it's an environmental messaging show that actually has complex messaging and goes into why things are important rather than just telling you they are? That's great! That sounds awesome!
