Reiji Doki, an investigator for the Galaxy Federal Police, is Gavan Infinity-the sole individual in the cosmos authorized to bear the title "Space Sheriff Gavan." Yet he languishes in the marginal Archives Division, enduring daily ridicule from detectives in the First Investigative Division.

Few know his true purpose: investigating trans-dimensional Emorgear crimes.

I thought this was a pretty nice introduction episode for the new series, though it was... simple I suppose? We establish the basic setting and premise nicely, and Reiji was a lot more charming than I expected based on the promotional materials. We immediately establish some elements to build on for future episode too, like Reiji clearly having some sort of incident in his backstory and the other Gavans seem to be getting introduced early on. I was surprised at how charged the imagery was in this one, like the rather intense standoff between the criminals and cops. It's one of those things that could be really good or really tone-deaf depending on how the show ultimately approaches the whole alien crime angle, but I'll have to just wait and see how the show handles it over time.

I think what I liked most about it was just how fun it was though. It has some great, very physical choreography in the fight scenes and had lots of those knowingly silly elements that make tokusatsu so good. I'm looking forward to more and hope the show will be the start of something great!

this is just the beginning.

I watched it. And it was awesome. We saw a world full of alien criminals and space police. Something like Dekaranger, if it were filmed today. And just as the viewer gets used to it, it turns out that the show's world is much more expansive.
Reiji himself is a very likeable protagonist. I'm not a fan of imba main characters, but he's charismatic and sincere in his scenes, which is appealing. Plus, the fact that everyone considers him a loser makes things even more interesting. Also, everything about him, from the mech to the non-transformed fighting style, hints that he is much more inspired by Sharivan, and Gavan was named after the fact, for popularity reasons.
The other characters are also interesting, although I can't say much about them yet. But I've already liked Agi. Also, emogears has a really cool animated gimmick. Gavv's success has clearly not gone unnoticed.
Speaking of the show itself, it's much closer to Kamen Rider than Super Sentai. But it's also clearly inspired by Metal Heroes. Though not so much by Gavan, but by later shows like Rescue Team Trilogy and Janperson.
Overall, I liked it. Much more than Zeztz, although he's also very good.
I'm looking forward to new episodes and getting to know the unusual world of this show better. Or rather, worlds.
P.S. Does anyone know what Kohei Nagata was doing during the Kamen Rider Geats casting? The whole time I was looking at him, I kept thinking, "Here's someone who really looks and acts like a fox!"

Good stuff. Setup is cool, the protagonist is surprisingly likable, characters are okay so far and the action was pretty damn great.

I had fun and I want to watch more. I’m especially interested in seeing how all the things they introduce in this episode like the multiverse with different Earth’s work out in the long run.
