Sorta missing its target demographics, which were supposed to be adults instead of young children.

The show abandons the traditional monster-of-the-week stories in order to be replaced with longer character-based story arcs. Tsuburaya Productions had intended the show to be run during prime time, but the CBC network gave the show a 7:30 AM Saturday morning slot once Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon ended its 49-episode run. The TV series received weak ratings which were attributed to the change in style and not being able to have the target demographic tune in, resulting in the series being cut short from around 50 episodes down to 37.

Three months after its initial run, it was re-run in a new time slot. This time the show aired at 2:30 AM on Tuesday mornings and the ratings met the expectations that were set for the Ultra N Project

Huh so that's why I liked it a bit more than the first ultra shows I watched.

Honestly nexus and later on Noah's design was pretty nice to look at and original as well.

Same with it's lore too.

Sad to see it not getting any traction due to bad timing though.
