(So are we just not doing a specific thread for Trigger then? Z finally had one that was stickied and everything!)
At any rate, everything about this show really appeals to my love of, well, of Kamen Rider Kuuga, considering I haven't seen a whole lot of Tiga, to say the least. This wasn't the most stunning Ultraman premiere I've ever seen or anything, but this seems like it will be a real fun show for me. Ancient warriors and heroes fighting for smiles are just a good mix, what can I say? As for Trigger’s first episode, it’s a nice change of pace to have us start with the human after two seasons started with the Ultra. And I also like that he’s just a normal guy who decides to join the fight, rather than someone who would’ve been in the fight anyway getting superpowers. I’m more fond of that kind of Ultra host personally. |

So we're closing off the final months of 2021 with the TDG set of Ultra Shows? Not bad.

Ooh, nice!! I was wondering if they'd get to even just Tiga this year, but the whole trio is AWESOME!

I forgot about the "Japan is fifteen hours ahead of us" thing, so I just saw the episode today instead of last night. I still need to catch up with Saber and Zenkaiger.
That being said, I liked it, not as great of a first episode as some of the other recent Ultra shows, but still enjoyable. Maybe it's just the pacing, but I don't think it was that bad. Now, I'm usually not too into these "Chosen One" heroes, but since it's a recurring theme in the Ultra series, and you can usually see why they're chosen, and since Kengo loves plants which is a very pure kind of trait, makes sense. And I'm guessing when the plant blooms it will be either pretty or turn into some cosmic horror (Remembering some other Ultraman episodes involving plants). I love the Mars setting, and I hope they use it as a recurring location, because I wanted to see Ultraman travelling to other planets in a season for a long time. Also hoping for some more backstory on it. I love the reimagined designs for the Dark Giants, and the Golza Melba fusion, which is interesting that the Chairman knows about Ultraman and the others. Now I haven't seen Tiga yet, but I can see similarities with the first episode. And the fight scenes are always fun to watch, more so with Tsuburaya playing with camera angles and such. Overall, I'm interested in seeing how this goes as I like what I'm seeing so far. Thinking about it, it's going to be something to see how this compares with Kamen Rider Black Sun, on how a dark reimagining with a modern new gen Tiga... |

First episode of Trigger was pretty good. Not completely sold on the protagonist with his obviously plastic plant and "Smile smile" catchphrase, but I don't find him especially off-putting. I kinda get Touma vibes off of him, actually. The only part that was really weird for me was the part where the old guy and Kengo's mom were all "here, kid, take this gun and go fight the kaiju by yourself; you got this." I get the sense that there will be more to reveal about this, though. Looking forward to episode two and the full introduction of GUTS.

I think the episode is pretty clear about Kengo's mom also being in on at least some of what's going on, especially considering things like how she immediately recognizes that Trigger is Kengo.
