Anon who is working his way through Ultraman Ace here. Just got to the Hipporit two-parter.
Mostly lived up to the hype. Seeing all the Ultras taken out so definitively really upped the stakes, and I wasn't expecting Father of Ultra to get taken out too. Kinda weird they played up the fact he died so much considering they're going to walk it back later this very show.
I noticed Ultraseven had a better showing against Hipporit than the rest of the Ultra Brothers. Was he more popular or something? Also, the plot with the little kid and the dead dad could have been handled better.
Saying goodbye to Minami next episode, which I just know is gonna piss me off.
