Watched half of the season so far. It's an "okay" anime. But I'm always bummed out by the animation, the back and forth of 12fps to 24fps, I understand that sometimes you have to cut corners to tell the story you want, but you totally lose immersion when you go from a good animated sequence to suddenly a 12 fps scene, it just takes you out of the whole experience. I understand that they want that hand drawn vibe, but we know it's not hand drawn, so just stick to 24fps, it all seems motion cap anyway so how hard can it be?

I've ever seen such childish dialogs and situations in a series like this. You know when People say that a show was written by a teenager? This is almost the perfect example, and if you replace a teenager by a 9 year old child it will turn perfect. Is that horrible. I don't know how this passed through screentest. The only thing this show has that it's worth a little bit is the first fight, and it seems that they spent 80% of the show's budget on it. Nothing else gets even close to that and I just finished the first season. The dialogs, the plotlines, the conflicts, the ideas, the motivations, the standards, the explanations, EVERYTHING seems half ass written. I get secondhand embarrassment watching this almost every time a character opens it's mouth. I don't know how I endured. Actually, there is only one other thing I can think of that start a bit interesting, [spoiler]which is a conflict the the person who's the Ultraman is put through and what people expect from him to do, which btw is way overused conflict Ina super hero series at this point, but his age makes it a bit(just a bit) fresh[/spoiler], but the dialogs, the motivations, the reasoning, everything surrounding, is so bad that I don't think anyone should count this as a good point for the series. Just forget it. There are plenty other shows waaaaaaay better than this. It's a complete waste of time.

I like the concept of the many Ultra's. It is like saying that there were many Spiderman's in just one universe and he was spread thin like in the comics/movies/shows. I like how a common person can dawn a suit get ultra fighting abilities and fight the aliens. What I don't like in most superhero movies/shows is that the common person seems to be a dolt. They see what is going on but remain idiotic until they are injured or killed in the fight scenes (or disappear). They are so quick to share something on online, but can't share an important event fast enough. The last season was especially frustrating to watch. None of the characters communicated. The other Ultras refused to listen to Shinjiro. The debate between that stupid professor and Rena was even stupider. What the professor has some merit, but it was really bullshit to talk about aliens that Ultraman fought as good. If this guy was in charge of the SSSP he would have allowed many people to get hurt and eaten by the aliens (like the alien was Ultraman first fought in Season 1). What the professor fails to understand and what Rena can't communicate is that if Ultraman wasn't there for the humans many of them would have been wiped out. I really don't like the last season, the writers really stretched it.

[spoiler] Funny definition of justice advocated by the Universal Alliance Council. The descendants of all Ultras must be destroyed. "Justice" [/spoiler]

The first season was a fun treatment of Ultraman, kind of pulling in from the larger mythos to create a new thing that's a little more digestible. Some fun Men In Black kind of scenarios, and some decent fights for a Polygon show. The second season was... not a thing I enjoyed watching, really at all.
