On a whim, I tried out some Ultraman for this first time with the first five episodes of Tiga! Tbh, I literally know jack shit about Ultra prior: there's a big silvery dude running around, blasting kaiju with a laser, or something like that, so I have 0 expectations. Some assorted thoughts:

-This show, is like eye candy at certain points? The backdrop sets they make for this show, theyre very lovely! The colors in thos show are very easy on the eyes, too! There's this scene where Daigo is walking out onto a bridge, and the way it's framed is so wonderful I had to stop and admire it?

-As someone who really loved the G3 Team bits in Agito, absolutely tickled by how much of this is about GUTS trying to tackle the mystery/monster of the week. (Tiga can only do so much with that time limit...) I'm surprised at how much a well-oiled team they are, they're a great bunch!

-Now don't laugh, but I suspect the reason I've been holding off on Ultra for a bit is that the big silvery guys themselves, theyre kinda....unerving to look at? A bit creepy. However, Tiga's body has a really pleasant design, and the odd noises it makes are bizzarely charming? I'll probably be fully won over by I reach the midpoint of the show.

-The monsters, they're cool! I especially like the guy who looks like he's rotting from Episode 5, that's a real neat gimmick!

It's a really interesting, even mysterious show so far, I'm having fun with it!
