Well, I just watched the first episode on Youtube:

It was a little slow building everything up (despite an explosive opening), but once the fight between Gomora, Gomess and Magura got going, all was good. I was expecting Eleking to show up, but it was still a great fight. Also, I was taken completely by surprise when Gomess [SPOILER] was revealed to be a rival/Battle Nizer monster! This means more Gomess appearances, yay! I was certain he'd go the way of Red King in the first episode of Season 1.

I've been pretty late to the party with this series, so I've been watching the first season over the weekend with just two episodes to go. To say I like this show would be a massive understatement. :) It's been a total riot seeing all those classic monsters.
Gomora, Red King, Zetton, Earthtron, Eleking, Belcron, Golza - so many favourites brought back. Loved the ep with the Sadola legions fighting Fire Golza in the mist. I've been sort of burnt out on tokusatsu and big monsters for a while, so the series (along with Iron King, the original Ultraman and Mebius) has been a nice welcoming back to the hobby of sorts.

Well, the series is obviously doing very well in Japan if a part 3 was announced. Not sure what Exercise means though.. lol

If the article on is correct (and no offense to the ones you brought it up in the first place), I wouldn't mind a third series, but it may be a smart move to rise the budget and have it set on Earth, as opposed to the barren planets of the first series and NEO.

Also, while we're on the subject; can anyone tell me more about the manga spin-off to Ultra Galaxy, which features a young boy controlling / working with Gomora and Pigmon on (what I assume is) Earth?
