I have to echo similar sentiments to everyone else.

This show IS good. It's fun and enjoyable. Flashy, too. I love Ultraman!

But Zett seems a bit... detached? In all the other New Gen shows, I was able to connect to the cast and Ultra and enjoy watching their story unfold.

And while Yoko's "Lord Zett", Juggler's switch-flip secret identity, Yuka's science obsession (which feels like Yuki from Fourze all over again), and Haruki's gusto are fun... I don't really feel connected to them.

All of the other Ultras I've watched (Orb, Geed, and a bit of Ginga and Taiga) have the main crew feel like a family.
Gai is a wanderer and the SPP is a bunch of loons. Riku's a toku nerd, and Pega's his wingman, with Leito as the bumbling dad. I haven't made it far into Taiga or Ginga to get a good judge on Hiroyuki or Hikaru.

And Zett. I don't really feel enamored with his plight. He wants to prove himself to Zero, yeah, but other than that? He's mostly there for exposition, and the moment of friendship in this episode. He's almost not even there.

I kinda miss those host-Ultra relationships. Granted, most of the shows I've watched have the host be the Ultra themselves....

EDIT: This show seems like mindless action with a minor commentary on overcoming setbacks/grief, whether you killed expecting kaiju parents or simply miss your dad. Which isn't to say this show is bad by any stretch of the imagination. It's a good show. But the dynamic between the cast leaves a lot to be desired.
