This looks pretty sweet and it would seem that Gomora's Rei's pet monster, of sorts. Heh. Litra looks great!

i always knew Gomora was tougher than Red King!
this should be a cool show!

This show looks like it's gonna be pure fanservice... XD

Also, Gomora being a "good" monster, it makes sense now that they changed his look from Max/Mebius. He looked really evil in those series.

And of course, I'm sure a transformation into EX Gomora is inevitable in the future. I'm hoping that he's not the sole good kaiju on the team, but I can definitely live with a series where Gomora is the hero.

I watched the first episode tonight, and I enjoyed every minute of it! My spoileriffic review below:

It is indeed "Godzilla meets Star Trek & Pokemon," as some people have put it (and this series is, IMHO, a lot like the old Star Trek series, and has more kids' appeal than the dreary ripoffs on TV today!), but this show was a ton of fun! Plenty of fan service for Ultra-Kaijuu fans (and any kaijuu fan in general)! There was one hilarious fanservice moment where Oki was working on a model of a skeleton of Chandrah, and Kumano mistook it for a skeleton of Pegila (confirming that the monsters are similar but different)!

I thought it was cool that they made Gomora a good guy, AND give him a beam weapon to boot! Gomora's one of my favorite Ultra Monsters, especially since I still have the old 15-inch Bandai Gomora and Red King figures in my collection. The monster action was quite brutal without being too bloody! The hero Rei is quite an impressive character, and not the pretty boy most Japanese heroes these days are. He looks like a young Akira Yamaguchi! The ZAP Spacy team isn't half bad, either! I love the conflict between Rei and ZAP Spacy, hinted at in the previews!

The next episode has two Ultra Q monsters, Litra and the Mammoth Flower, fighting each other in CGI!

Overall, I think this series is going to do pretty well! A very cool, exciting and thrilling concept that will certainly make the Ultra Monsters even more marketable. If Godzilla had a TV series (which Toho won't allow), it'd be a lot like this. I feel that kaijuu may yet dominate the airwaves for the first time since the 60s! I'm definitely looking forward to the next episode!

I watched it, and my view hasn't changed, this is rehashed garbage. This is the kind of stuff that only appeals to die-hard fans who squeal at the fact that their favorite monsters are returning. The current Ultraman shows need to start evolving some, because it can't just rely on bringing back old popular monsters, and think that this will give them good ratings. The show honestly reminds me of the last few Godzilla films, what with its originality and all.

Just saw episode 01: wow! Gomora vs Redking is fanservice to the max! 10/10 for me.

PD changing the topic name to include ULTRA GALAXY: GIANT MONSTER BATTLE would be nice

kiryugoji04 deserves major props for hooking me up.

Oh man, that was awesome. It's ridiculously late, so I won't get too detailed, but I just have to say that I could easily see enjoying this in a longer series than just 12 episodes, it was action-packed and entertaining, has some hints of an interesting storyline in the future, and a certain battle in the next episode should prove to be stunning.
