The PV.

And a good article from Toku Network: https://tokusatsunetwork.com/2020/04/ul ... aman-geed/

I'll keep an eye on it, but right now it's not super interesting to me. I don't want another story in/around/about Zero and Geed.

It seems a little weird to have such a New Generation-influenced show right after marketing Taiga as the end of that series, but it could be interesting. I'm not as hyped for it as I could be, but I wasn't interested in Taiga either at first and that became one of my favorite New Gen shows.

Copy-pasting some random notes from a different place:
  • The human actor seems pretty good, which had been a concern for me earlier
  • The new car look great
  • If Z's from the Land of Light, is the black on his armor natural?
  • Is this the Showa Earth, or did Geed pop in from another universe?
  • A Jam Project member doing an Ultra theme is like a dream come true (and the bit of incidental music from the trailer also sounds amazing)
  • I wasn't as big a fan of Kiyotaka's previous works as some were, but his work on Taiga proves he can do some versatile stuff

Bit of a status update: The show's started airing now, and Tsuburaya's posting the episodes on their YouTube channel with English subs! Each episode's only supposed to be up for two weeks, though, so if you're interested in watching then you should probably be quick about it.

What's the consensus so far? Any good?

People are really liking it so far. I'd been worried from the trailers, but I was surprised how much I enjoyed it; it pretty neatly breaks from the New Gen formula (no first-episode prologue/backstory dump) and the characters are far more likeable than the promos made them out to be. Wasn't sure about this one earlier, but a couple of odd ticks aside it's looking pretty promising.

I checked out the first episode on the Youtube channel and the subs seems decent enough. I like what I saw in the episode and can't go wrong with Masaki Endoh doing the OP. It definitely goes back to the military style of the past Ultramans and even have an actual mecha that's Ultraman-sized. This last point is more of an annoyance to me but I really wish there was a new Ultraman that doesn't have its powers based on the original ones as collectibles. I know its for the toy sales but they could be a bit more creative about it.
