Seiun Kamen Machineman
 

Seiun Kamen Machineman is a 1984 TV series created by Shotaro Ishinomori. In the series, Nick (a.k.a. Ken Takase), a college student, travels to Earth to study human behavior as part of his doctorate. When he discovers that the Tentacle Organization is out to rid the world of children, he decides to stay on Earth to protect his girlfriend Maki and the youth of the world as Seiun Kamen Machineman.

Yeah, I still can't believe Ishinomori came up with this...

EDIT: Since Toei is still on a copyright rampage, here's an image gallery.

The story sounds awful but that suit design is actually pretty sweet.... except for that ridiculous clear cape. I almost get a Rider-Man feel from him with the exposed mouth area.

I know, it looks like he made it from some cheap throw away rain coat.

I agree on the whole clear cape thing though. It's like he's wearing a shower curtain. When I saw this, I thought it looked kinda stupid. Then they had his eyes light up and thought to myself, sweet. I wonder why this and other old Ishinomori shows haven't been shown in all those crossover films. I could see this guy and the others in Super Hero Wars being people who were turned into cards by Decade.

Here's a music video featuring some action scenes.


Oh yeah, you can't have a kids' show without toys.

Yeah why can't they use this guy? I mean they put Inazuman and Zubat in the OOO movie for gods sake. For the whole 6 people who care about Zubat I'm sure there's at least 5 who care about Machineman.

I'd want Fourze to meet up with these guys XD

Does anyone else think his helmet looks a bit like Kamen Rider Birth??
