I'm convinced the lady is just an Ultraman simp who doesn't quite know how to show affection so it's just violence
I like the fusion monster just being one laid on top of the other. This was an okay starter. Seen better, seen worse.

Nothing mind-blowing, but a solid premiere. I'll miss having an Ultra with a personality like Z. Very interested to know about the Chairman apparently being from another universe.

Ufff... Wow... Yeah, that wasn't good. Saw someone compare it to two episodes edited down into one and... Yeah, absolutely this.
Nothing has room to breathe and I have no idea who Kengo even is as a person. The pacing is atrocious, rushing from one plot point to the next like it's a race, no matter how choppy and unnatural the dialogue sounds and feels. And worst of all, no one feels like a human in this, just puppets dancing to the plot. A protective mother figure, telling Kengo to run even if she is just falling down that has no problem with him being given a gun and trying to fight the monster? Wha!? Kengo just goes along with the gun thing without really questioning any of it and so on. Nothing feels even slightly believable in here. And mars isn't really properly set up and explored before we immediately ditch it for the earth in the second episode... Like, I was slightly worried with how much it wants to be the next Tiga and this episode only worsened my fears...

I wasn't as invested with this as I was with Z, but this is only the first episode and the first episode of Z is so-so anyway. I was immediately tickled by Kengo for "emulating" Go-On Yellow with the "Smile, Smile"! I also feel like Kengo is the "Botanist Ultraman", and that's not a bad thing either. The battle with Golba felt like it had a lot of CGI, and it reminded me of Dino Force Brave/Kyoryuger Brave. I'm mostly impressed by what they were able to accomplish cause this had to have been filmed during COVID, and Japan is still reeling from that. I hope fence-sitters take that into account. I see this starting slow for reasons, but I expect it to pick-up with time. It has its moments and I'm not scared that this will fail to meet expectations.

Wow. Those drone cam shots really do wonders. I mean it really works well because of the physical scale between the giants and the surroundings, even better here than sentai and rider shows. Kengo I like so far for being the nice kid who is not chicken to face danger. That said, I was thinking had they made the first episode be a typical day in the GUTS Select team where they showcase Trigger's basic gimmicks on Earth, this could have easily worked as episode 2 further explaining how Kengo became Trigger as well. Not that it should, but I think it could have worked that way as well.

It was a rather standard first episode but not bad. The setting on Mars was quite interesting, took me by surprise too since I didn’t follow any announcements or trailers for this show.
I think it'll get better once more of the supporting cast is introduced. |

They're really going in on the New Generation Tiga theme. It even has the kids yelling ULTRAMAN TRIGGER at the beginning. Or maybe that's just for the first episode. Which was a good first episode! I wasn't blown away or anything but I enjoyed it. Kengo seems like an alright guy. I'm sure naming the plant he created after the city that Cthulhu lives in isn't foreshadowing or anything. Having the show start on Mars is cool and is actually more of a Dyna thing than a Tiga thing. It's a shame that like most Toku shows, Trigger ends up on Earth by the second episode. It gave us some cool visuals though. So the chairman guy is from another Universe or something? He knows about Tiga and other Ultras. Interesting?! Carmeara is hot. Carmeara and Trigger Mud Wrestling is very Sakamoto. |
