Further complicating matters, the Ultra wiki says Ai Ota was in charge of series composition for Nexus and I like her a lot! Really hard to tell if I should let myself get excited about watching Nexus or try to curb my enthusiasm a bit in order to enjoy it the most.

Can I say though... Hasegawa is 100% Toshiki Inoue Lite and I'm amazed I never found this out earlier. Really similar in terms of "dark" narratives, the regular inclusion of bitter romantic elements, the sheer amount of material and thus high level of influence they both have on the tokusatsu genre. And... they're both quite divisive. Hasegawa more restrained so I think he's a lot more accessible though.

I don't think Hasegawa is near as divisive as Inoue.
