Can you feel it? The raw surge of utter heroism that comes from this piece rightly rivals John Williams' Superman theme as a suitable grand yet heroic theme that tells you everything is going to be alright now that Ultraman Gaia is here! This tune, I think, single-handedly represents Ultra as a force for good, from the trumpets to the strings; it just shines through its simple melody.

Yeah, I'm not sure I've ever specifically talked about his work on Gaia on here, but needless to say, hearing the theme Sahashi came up with for the character was a huge factor in me starting to hold him in the incredibly high regard I do.

Anyways, I won't really be able to follow along seeing as I've still yet to watch any of the whole TDG trilogy, despite those being the shows I was most excited to dig into when I started getting into Ultraman (Gaia in particular, even!), but I wish this thread the best all the same. Gaia is one of those series you can just sorta tell is awesome even from a distance, so it's nice to think somebody is on here giving it the love it no doubt deserves.

I have seen this premiere a handful of times though, and I've always been immensely impressed by it. I especially love how it gives you so many different perspectives on what's happening, rather than having every character with dialogue be part of the usual elite military style squad. Even in just one episode, you're seeing how people react to giant monster stuff from not only up in the sky in cool sci-fi jets, but all the way down to the ordinary people on the ground, and that speaks a lot about this show's stylistic goals upfront.
