Last night, I finally got around to watching the last two episodes of the series. I knew that they would be good episodes since they are directed by Kiyotaka Taguchi. And man, did he do a good job. I was at the edge of my seat pretty much the whole time. Greeza was an oddly creepy character in the way it moved and attacked. It totally wrecked shop throughout these episodes and posed a legitimate threat the Daichi, X, and Xio as a whole. His final form was pretty cool and given more time, I could see it doing a lot more damage and causing a lot more turmoil for the team. X's combined armor form was interesting, reminded me of Den-O's Climax Form.
And I do like that there are a lot of things left unresolved that can potentially be addressed in the Ultraman X movie coming out in a few months. Things such as where Daichi's parents ended up? Are they still alive? I can't wait for the movie now.
Ultraman X was such a well done show. While Ginga S improved a lot compared to Ginga, X is the one that feels like a proper Ultraman series (granted, I've only seen a handful of shows to completion). It handled it's characters, story, and even cameos in such a believable manner. There may be 2 or 3 episodes that I felt weren't up to par. Other than that, every episode was top notch in some way.
I'd rank this up there with Nexus as my favorite Ultra series. It's been forever since I've seen Nexus and plan on watching it again once it appears in Crunchyroll, but I have a feeling that Ultraman X may still beat it even after rewatching. Not sure yet.
Whatever the next season of Ultraman ends up being, they have a whole lot to live up to coming after X. Such a great show.
