Though I feel like Ignis had such a charisma and and an actually solid character arc that it made him a good secondary Ultra.

Also the Dark Giants being very standout presences in the show are one of the few saving graces' of Trigger on-top of the suits/fights. And the theme song.

Ignis is okay, but I didn't really find myself buying into so many of the cast members just accepting his antics when he causes to many problems. I feel like at least some of the more serious cast members should have pushed back on him more, but since they don't it just feels like the plot is giving him a free pass just because he has swagger. Semi-related, but the way the show treats aliens is really weird to me, where they seem like common knowledge and can even be on a defense team, but we don't see them in normal society anywhere.

The Dark Giants didn't really capture me, but I think the villain game is pretty weak in most Ultra shows to be honest. Not a deal breaker for me. Their suits are really neat though. In terms of fights... You know, I typically love me some Koichi Sakamoto but for some reason the only Ultra show I really loved him directing for was Ginga S. I don't think that show used slowed down fight footage like most Ultra shows do, which is my best guess as to why. The speed of his choreography is important to me.

The theme song is great though, this is one thing I can wholeheartedly praise about Trigger.
