Episode 49 was fantastic. Cool to see this show going out with such a bang. Can't wait for next week!

Check out who I found in RETURNER...

Okay... Is this Captain Sakomizu in Daicon's Return of Ultraman?! :shock:

Okay, so it's actually the guy who transforms into Hideki Anno, but I thought the resemblance was funny... XD

SPOILERS

I think the whole thing about GUYS knowing Mirai was Ultraman was ultimately pointless. Nothing really changed, no one treated Mirai any differently. There was some good storytelling potential there that seemed to go to waste. It would have been interesting to explore xenophobia when they suddenly realise they've been duped by an alien, to some extent (ultimately realizing it doesn't matter whether he's an alien or not, of course.) Maybe it's too deep for the kids. A shame, because the genre is the perfect platform for these kind of messages, and it's the best way to teach kids about this stuff without sending them to sleep in school (IMHO!) Revealing Mirai's identity mid-way seemed like the perfect setup.

I'm not slamming the show, I just think there were some missed opportunities. Maybe they're not the sort of thing you think about until you step back and look at the whole thing in retrospect, though.

Ultraman Mebius will be getting another direct-to-DVD gaiden series, titled Ghost Rebirth and releasing in November and December. Don't really know much about this except that it seems to feature a robotic version of Mebius's nemesis/ally Zamshar, named MechaZam(u) and it may have something to do with the kaiju graveyard maybe? Dunno. Hopefully it'll be a little higher on the quality scale compared to Armored Darkness. Not getting my hopes up though.

I am down to the last three episodes of the show, and it's been great seeing Jack, 7 and Ultraman again helping out. Mefilas even stayed pretty true to the original which I thought was a nice touch.

As I understand it, this is supposed to be a sort of prequel to the new movie.
