As someone who returned back to Ultraman 2 years ago, starting with Trigger, then Decker, and now Blazar, I'm v3ry impressed with the way Kiyotaka Taguchi is directing this outstanding series, since he's the one responsible for Ultraman Z's success three years ago at the start of the Pandemic, giving everyone a chance for some ultra-excitement while confined at home back then. Thanks to the recent English Dubbed version of Z four and a half months ago, I can understand why Z was such a success story then, and now. With Blazar, the newness and excitement carry on the momentum, to anyone who says why we didn't have a New Generation Gaia shouldn't be upset, because both Trigger and Decker were New Ultras whose adventures take on new and familiar paths, and they were BOTH successful in their own way, but two reimagined series was fine, but a bit much, and a third one might go either / or, so by creating a NEW Ultraman instead was the best thing that could ever happen, and it shows, even the first episode was viewed by nearly 3 million viewers back on July 8th for us in the US, the 9th over in Japan ( we're 16 hours behind Japan, therefore OUR Friday afternoon is THEIR Saturday morning over in Japan and the rest of Asia ), Taguchi had big success with Z, with Blazar, he can do it again..we can't wait to see how the remaining 10 episodes will turn out, so let's go Taguchi-San, and Let's go Blazar, we'll be " aarrrrooo", I mean, rooting for you! 😄👍🏻🇺🇸!
@burgerlice Thanks for the reply. In fact, I DID see Orb a couple of days ago on PlutoTV's TokaSHOUTsu Channel, episodes 13-25 ( actually, episodes 18-25, I was coming home from work that day ), it's great to see an older protagonist ( as in over the ages between 18-23, since the majority of them WERE young protagonists from Ginga, Ginga S(trium ),X, Geed, R/B, Taiga, Z, Trigger and Decker ) in Gento Hiruma as an Ultra Warrior since Gai Kurenai aka Orb 7 years ago. So far, Blazar's has been amazing. There's not an episode we didn't enjoy watching during the first half, and tonight's Episode 15 was a great break from the kinetic action from the past few episodes. For once, Blazar managed to not only save Gavadon ( and he didn't have to use his B-form....unlike 57 years ago, which he DID.. ), but paying tribute to that episode... I forgot what episode that was, but fortunately, that was third kajiu he spared. The previous two were Dorgo and the Demaagas, so that was great! Next week will crank up the intensity as the visionary kajiu Mogujon cast a sinister spell on everyone as Halloween approaches. Again, thanks for the reply, and have yourself a great weekend!
