For some reason this makes me incredibly happy. I especially love the strafe lapels.

Pretty much the same sentiment. I thought it was reaching until the piles of evidence. Still as a huge fan of all the Ultraman series (which is actively referred to), and Transformers, I never would have noticed as I'm not really into Shattered Glass.

I'm actually old enough to remember watching the original Ultraman on cute plushies selling Japanese stuffed toys here including anime plushies as well US TV in the early 80's. I also watched SSSS when I was in college (disappointed that it was an awful adaptation like Power Rangers, I much would have preferred just an English dub of Gridman).

I was kind of disappointed a few years back that Gridman was ignored When Ultraman Zero got his own team of revamped TPC Ultra-Like heroes. But this series has started out well. Two episodes in, and am thoroughly enjoying it.

Toho should really take a good long look at TPC. They both know how to do showa era style live action shows in modern times, AND give us a really fun anime adaptation as well.
