I watched the opening episode of that show in Chinese and between the atrocious special effects and lack of anything happening I was bored out of my skull.

Even Bima, some toku show from Indonesia of all places, managed to provide better thrills - and is totally worth checking out for any Other Toku junky.

Yeah, I don't even think there was more than five minutes worth of in-suit action in the first episode. And what there was was basically all in a dream sequence. Wow...it's the anti-Megaforce.

I might stick around for a couple of episodes, but if they're anything like this first one...I mean there wasn't' anything even LAUGHABLY bad in it.

I think I've heard of Bima. Is that the dude with the bird armor?

Agreed. Garo has shown me some of the best fight scenes I've seen in all my life.

Ah, episode 9, the first appearance of Savior in the Dark.

Yeah I watched the first couple episodes of it, it's made by the people who produce Kamen Rider. It's pretty good.

I'm guessing I will see it again?

It replaces the instrumental opening at around episode 13. On the downside, we sadly lose the original ending theme.

Ah that sucks, I love opening theme right now. I haven't really listened to the end theme. I just skip to the preview.

You are fixing that now:

Oh yeah and the only fight on that opening Armor Hero episode is also entirely CGI and like CGI so disgustingly bad it makes all other toku CGI seem somehow believable by proxy.

But yeah Bima's not the most wonderful show ever, but just you go in thinking 'Indonesian toku like hah! I haven't even seen an Indonesian movie, so how fucking bad is this gonna be?!' and then suddenly there's this utterly badass suit and all these crazy effects and beautifully done action sequences and you're just like....DAMN.

If you're like me where you believe action is of utmost importance (it IS a superhero show after all) then you'll dig Bima a lot.

GARO Episode 10: Interesting episode with Kaoru and Kouga having some sort of connected past with their fathers. Rei was pretty cool in this episode too and I love the two of them fighting against the Horror. Very interesting with the picture book from her past too.
