I've ended up inadvertently binging this show over the past couple days. I keep doing the, "Just one more episode" thing,..then 'To Be Continued',...ok,..
Just One More Episode.
Man this show is DARK! I'm up to episode 28 so I'm almost done. The New Blue Ultra is...taking some getting used to. The tone has shifted somewhat. But I've finished 3 other Ultra series and am maybe 1/3'rd into Ultraseven, but I can't believe how much Nexus really grabbed me and made me keep watching episode after episode after episode.
I really like how they developed the monsters over multiple episodes so it didn't feel like there were any typical episodic filler episodes of just 'beat up random monster in the last 5 minutes.' Everything so far has served the purpose of the story which has been really interesting.
I
really liked the Grey/Silver suit and I wish it had gotten used more. They never really explained why he'd change to the Red one. Different powers I guess. Or why the new guy has a blue one. Visual variety I suppose.
I'm trying to get some friends to watch Ultraman and maybe Nexus is a good gateway to it. Most people seem to think Ultraman or Kamen Rider is like Power Rangers I'm finding. Which as we know,..they're definitely not like Power Rangers.
..even Super Sentai is nothing like Power Rangers.
Power Rangers is making this stuff a hard sell to some people though, it casts a big shadow. They can't see past it.
Their loss I guess.
