Bad Qualities

 * 1) Despite being an Ultraman show, their are no certain elements that make it stand out like with any other Ultraman show, it's like they didn't put enough effort into bringing back their own franchise, the show ultimately feels like a forced teen drama rather than a superhero tv show with background character to make it seem slightly more engaging and thrilling to watch.
 * 2) Even though if the countryside is a fresh start to the franchise yet it could be quite a bit tiresome since the location itself is quite pretty small with little no interesting locations, and the setting was never expanded to the main city like with any typical Ultra Series', even the attractions aren't mesmerizing to look at.
 * 3) The Protagonist Hikaru Raido (despite being a likeable character), could be considered as a Gary Stu as he is a flawless character, what worse and he doesn't go through the standard formula that an Ultra protagonist goes through where he gets into a serious injury then afterwards being entrusted with the certain arsenal that he will transform as Ginga.
 * 4) The fight scenes could be really boring and tiresome at times, not only does it have a really mediocre choreography, the setting is not really that interesting as the countryside doesn't provide any great substitute that will save it from it's falting nature.
 * 5) The villains were heavily flanderized in this season, while in other season most of them are really ferocious threats to be extremely intimidated at, here they are irritating comic-reliefs who provides some of the most annoying jokes to ever exist in a franchise, and what's worse is there are no redeeming villains that have a much more serious approach so you're left with dealing unbearable freaks who can't even provide with some really outstanding moments to be found within the show.
 * 6) The 4th episode is the worst episode to exist in this season as the plot is rather pretty stupid and the overall elements within this episode is utterly dumb, and once you'll come to learn who is the villain in this episode you'll be really ROFL.
 * 7) The finale was extremely underwhelming, and the final battle with dark lugiel wasn't that great either as it had a really underwhelming fight choreography and the events had to actual build up so it had a slightly forced feeling to it.
 * 8) The supporting cast are quite underdeveloped, and what's even worse is one of them never got a focus episode to their name, even with their slight maturity that was seen in the very few episodes we never got to see a glimpse of their backstories nor the extent of their actual character growth.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The theme song is very nice to listen to it, that will just make your excitement burst in seconds, even if it doesn't match the same level of energy provided by main show itself.
 * 2) The ending theme is pretty decent.
 * 3) As stated above, Hikaru is still a charming and likeable protagonist.
 * 4) The suit design for Ginga is pretty cool to look at, the pattern is just beautiful and the surrounding blue bits around his body is just fantastic.
 * 5) While it's not any better, it's sequel Ultraman Ginga S, is much more watchable.
