Talk:Ultraman X (character)/@comment-27582597-20160117183254/@comment-6532857-20160118000649

Ultraman does not have anything like Gaim. Sure, it can be very dark, especially the earlier stuff, but it has a completely different style to it, it's like a mix of Kamen Rider and Sentai, but without the arching plots and with more thematic/subtle messages.

I personally found that Gaim tried far too hard to be edgy, and simply ended up being incoherent and confusing. Also, it wasn't nearly as dark as it's chalked up to me, sure, bad stuff happens, but even Kiva or Decade had more permanent deaths of major characters, and Faiz had just as much rider infighting.

X had some big flaws, its characters were not spectacular with some exceptions, and the ending was somewhat unclear, but on the whole I found it much more enjoyable and coherent.
