peak tokusatsu

this is the greatest tokusatsu tv series objectively speaking.

ignoring the obvious caricature characters (which there are only a few), the ones that do get development are honestly some of the best toku characters ever. the vibe, scenario and its themes are darker and more adult focused than most other entries in the genre but it's handled exceptionally well and not just pointlessly edgy stuff. the ultraman and some of the kaiju designs/concepts are incredible as well. lastly would be the subversion of the genre where the main character isn't even the person who is ultraman. the payoff for this is huge in the final episode so i won't say much else about it.

for language learning i guess the most you can get out of this is military-ish terms? at least, that was what the majority of my lookups ended up being.
