Darker and Edgier: Compared to its preceding shows including its original, it's more horror-oriented and employs Deconstruction into various elements. Being aimed exclusively at adults, it's a late-night show.

 Ultra Q Dark Fantasy / int_547196be
comment
Broad Strokes: It's a little bit vague whether the series actually does take place in the same universe as the original Ultra Q or not. The first episode references an episode of the 1966 original, which also plays a role in the plot, but when the Gara Q reappear, everyone seems to have forgotten about the original Garamon incident and treat the Gara Q's first appearance as the first of its kind.

Breather Episode
 Ultra Q Dark Fantasy / int_80a247a9
comment
Breather Episode: The series has a pattern of showing heartwarming episodes after its more tragic or nightmarish ones. The lighthearted "Unitoroda's Repayment" follows "Kiara"'s Downer Ending; a remake of the 1966 original's "The Devil Child" is followed by the hope-filled, monster-free story of "The Shining Ship"; etc.

Deconstruction: Of the original Ultra Q. Whereas the original tried its hardest to remain as family-oriented as a sci-fi horror series can be, Dark Fantasy is a 100% serious take on the genre.

 Ultra Q Dark Fantasy / int_bd8aa92a
comment
Negative Continuity: Besides the 2 Gara Q episodes, and the 3 characters of Goichi, Ryo and Kakunoshin the episodes share no continuity with eachother. This is most notable with The Eyes of the Totem and The Quiet End which their ending showing humanity is doomed which even if you take them as the final episodes chronologically they still contrast each other as well as the sequel series Neo Ultra Q.
