Starting now. They're gonna run the whole series.

Love the commenter who summed up my exact feelings during the first few episodes of Leo: "The alien hates those kids!"

I'm enjoying the show a lot more than I'd expected. I've only seen the original "Ultraman" and a few episodes of "Tiga" and "Great." But this show has really clicked with me. It's the right amount of weird, dark and goofy to keep me interested.

The mistimed music layering is super annoying.

Also worth noting: in case you want to watch the show on your own time, it's streamable from ShoutFactoryTV's website. I don't know how long it'll be around, since they used to host Ultra Q and probably other Ultra shows for a while:

Honestly, I'm kinda diggin' these lighter tone episodes with lots of myth-based opponents.
The early, grim episodes are iconic for a variety of reasons, but they're a bit tiring in succession (how many parents can you kill before it gets repetitive?).

Averaged 3,500 viewers for the final episode.
... I have no idea if that's good or not, but I hope it showed Shout that Ultra fans are out there.
