As a grown adult in the working world, seeing scenes like arguing to pay for a lunch and getting a work document signed only to realize don't have a pen, pen doesn't work, there is no surface to sign against really hits close to home. This feels like a very grown-up aimed Ultraman series and I'm all for it.

@HappyTaur We have seen some intense action as is with Blazar's fight with Bazanga, but we also see even for the more mature feel of Gento and his team, there still can be some good humor in the mix, like with Gento's meeting his team, or the way Gedos looked like a skewered fish after Blazar took it out.

I love how the comedic moments in this episode are subtle and delivered very casually, and not forced like a lot of the New Gen Ultra series before. It's the random pen back stab to Emi for me😂

I laughed at that too. It feels so real, like something you would do in everyday life.
One more thing i like about Blazar is that the interactions between characters feels somewhat natural, the comedic bit isn't too forced and actually works and it made me actually chuckle a bit unlike some *other* seasons.
@willow9490 Жыл бұрын
I agree. Plus the team dynamic of SKaRD is less hierarchical and Gento actually insists that they address each other by their first name. At least I think that’s so they can fight as equals and value each other’s lives. Point is Gento’s a good captain and the team’s quirks are what make SKaRD

I might as well just type my review here. I'm very late to the show today. A big thank you to the original commenter! What got my attention in this episode was the recruitment session where Gento was finding all of the new members one by one. Just like the original commenter mentioned, the interactions between the characters feels natural. It definitely wasn't smooth. There's anxiety shown by the new vice-captain Teruaki Nagura. There's a bit of awkwardness shown when the pen accidentally pierced through the paper and poked the poor guy. There's some anger shown during the search for the last team member. I can get what they are feeling because incidents like these unfortunately happen in real life as well. I guess it was a rollercoaster of emotions, but somehow portrayed quite successfully. Another thing that got my attention was when Blazar turned the spear into a fishing rod. I can definitely say that it all leads back to the same point now. Remember how Ultraman Taro just summoned a bucket of water from his bracelet like thing? Yes this scene reminded me of that. What I'm talking about should already be crystal clear by now. I'm very excited for what happens next. I hope the series can continue on like this. If nobody comments here, then I shall see you all next week!

@@willow9490 I do like that concept too about Gento, and it shows he also is a very chill guy to want to have everyone in his units go by first names or a nickname, to show a sense of camaraderie as well as what you said about their fighting as equals, even with Gento being the Captain.

The goofiness and seriousness blended really well together, not just the character interactions but also the fight scene. The fishing rod part looked really cool and having Getos grilled gives a unique comedic touch to it, and of course it suits Blazer's hunter aspect really well.

This... this is amazing. These are probably the most impressive use of special effects I've ever seen in a Tokusatsu TV series. The quality of the costumes and the detail of the sets, the seamless integration between costumed actors and real life city scenery, the camerawork on the fights to create the effect of size, the way you can feel the weight of things... just an amazing work of art. Thank you Tsuburaya for keeping practical effects alive in Tokusatsu. Thank you for keeping the soul of Tokusatsu alive.

@@hjcb2976 Tokusatsu has its roots in miniature works & suit-mation kaiju & giant robots since the days of Godzilla movie that started in 1954 & Ultraman shows that started in 1966. After that, the special effect shows branches out into costumed heroes like Riders & Sentai and their human-sized adventure, until Japanese Spiderman popularized Leopardon & the giant robot trope for Sentai which itself was taken from Super-Robot anime shows.

It's also how we get some good simple ideas about the rest of SKarD joining Gento and how they all are--- Emi being intelligent and good at gathering intel but having a silly side, Teruaki having an even head with good tactics even if he can sometimes overreact, and Anri being a skilled fighter as well as a bit of a gearhead, even as she seems surprised by some facets of her new team. :)
This is way more impressive than I thought it would be. The interaction between the casts is way more organic than most tokusatsu I've seen, it is also an interesting take to put the ultra host as a captain instead of the newbie / ace. Thanks tsuburaya for making this show so easy to access.
