Episode 2 of Ultraman Omega
Not bad. I like the title sequence incorporating the Showa-style silhouettes, something Ultraman Max also did. (Hmm, that was another character modeled visually on Ultraseven.) But sadly, it looks like we won't get New Generation-style individual title cards, just that same sequence of Omega reaching out his hand. (What is he supposed to be doing when he looks over his fingers at the kaiju? Is he playing "I'm going to crush you in my fist?")
The energy for the finisher beam evidently originating from the color timer is a novel approach. When it chimed and glowed like that, I was expecting it to be the trigger for one of the armor modes, but that's still ahead (maybe next week).
At least they put some effort into the rationale for why Omega keeps his identity secret. I don't think it's a very good rationale -- just Kosei not knowing how to explain it or afraid of what the authorities would do -- but at least it's addressed. I sometimes find it unclear why Ultra hosts even bother to hide their secret -- and when they're defense force members, it seems outright negligent and insubordinate to conceal something so important. (In the Ultraman X episode where the vice-captain was temporarily joined to Ultraman Nexus and immediately confessed to the captain and put herself on report for abandoning her post to fight a kaiju, I felt it made Daichi look bad for failing to do the same every time he united with X.)
For a scientist, Ayumu is not very observant. She saw Kosei and "Sorato" fabricating their lies right in front of her, and yet somehow she still bought it.
