So, let's see... George is the most unlikable of the bunch at first, but he grew on me once you realized what he left behind. Everyone sacrificed something to enlist in GUYS, but I feel like it was the hardest for him. I really like seeing him warm up to others now, especially Miria who he had a rocky start with.

Marina could use a bit more character focus episodes, I do like how they dealt with her sense of hearing but even though she works well with any other character and I did like to see her grow alongside Ryu, I feel like she needs to grow on me a little bit more.

Teppei is the super likable dork, it seems like becoming a GUYS was his destiny as he shows constant amazement in what he does and didn't really fell like becoming a doctor anyways.

Konomi is just super cute. She's the most fragile but also the most caring person on the team, and her focus episode with the capsule monster Miclas (or as Ryu calls it, Nicholas ) was great. The emotions they portray with this character are fantastic, and I like how she constantly shows appreciation towards Mebius which in turn makes Mirai super happy.

So leaving Mirai aside because well, he’s the main hero so of course he's super likable, yeah I guess I like Ryu the most. I just like pigheaded characters that can be strong enough to admit that they were wrong and instinctively bring out the best in people around them, even if it isn't a smooth ride to the finish line with him

It was also great seeing him being the only survivor of the previous team, facing such a grief loss and needing to open p towards new comrades. His dynamic with the whole cast is great, and he currently has a very interesting bond with the "host" of Tsurugi that seem very promising.

I also enjoy all of the support characters, even the overly ass goofy Aide Toriyama

Apparently Dr. Guruman even references the appearance of his fellow Alien Fanton in Mebius a bit, he has a secret stash of "C-Pin 929" which is the emergency food formula from Mebius.

You didn't! It wasn't bothering me much, but it was a factor that helped me make the leap. I was just a bit annoyed with myself for obviously adoring this franchise but not getting deeper into it. And realizing I made the same mistake with Kamen Rider were I ignored Showa for a long time before I gave it a try and loved it.

I think you’re probably the biggest promoter of Ultraman on this site, that’s part of how I’ve come to see you; so it just came as a surprise you only liked New Gen! Surprise and that’s it. But, once again, glad you found something you like

Ohoho... no way

Thanks again, I really enjoy Ultraman Mebius!

I stand by not disliking any actual Ultra show I’ve seen so far and I’m very glad of that, but I couldn’t quite get into this one. Just really felt like there should have been a lot more to the characters and their backstories than we got and I had trouble truly loving any of them. Every single fight scene with Fuma or Titas was extremely fun, though! Would love to see main Ultras dabble in very different fighting styles the way these two did.

I liked Taiga a lot; when it aired it came very close to rivaling Geed for my #1 spot. I don't know, something about it made me insanely happy every week. I liked all of the characters, the effects were superb and the three different Ultra were awesome. But the ending felt a bit half-assed I'll admit as much.

But I do think it's my #2 so far. Although X was super good too, and Orb was also great - I think the only thing I can safely settle on is Geed as #1.
