Talk:Ultraman 80 (series)/@comment-29456942-20181005225100/@comment-31679215-20190311181718

I know this is an older "review" of yours, but as Teridex said with Max, "HATED" is an overly strong word. 80 is not hated by anyone, just because it's rated as 7/10 commonly does not mean it's hated commonly among ultra fans. Most people I know who have actually watched do like it and agree its good entry in the ultra series.

Their problems with it include things like shifting the focus 2 times or cutting certain aspects from it. At first, the series's main enemies are the Minus Energy monsters only to have them seemingly disappear in ep 10 with Zuruzla then finally reappearing in ep 33 with Gazera. Then at ep 13, 80's identity as a school teacher is forgotten as we focus on only UGM, taking away both "gimmicks" that made the series special. Some plots were also repeated throughout the series like "Oh, this thing's a monster, we can't trust it" or "Hey, I'm your friend whose definitely not an alien in disguise" which got kind of boring after a while, yes they added variations each time, but it was always to similar to previous plots.

Now listen, I do think 80 is a good show. It has much better consistent writing compared to OG, Jack, and Taro and more monsters from said series should return in current series (Noiselar had a new suit made for a supposed appearance in R/B, but was seemingly scrapped. Also I still wait for Zakira and King Galtan's returns.). If you want some real garbage of a series, check out Joneus, the FIRST ULTRAMAN ANIME, because it horribly sucks in mine and other people's opinions, so much wasted potential.
