I'll track down the first few episodes of Liveman and decide if it's for me.

I felt the same way about 80s Sentai, but once I watched the first two episodes of Liveman, that all changed. There's slightly less going on, and the effects aren't as good, but it's still definitely worth watching. It's also from 1988-1989, so only three years prior to Jetman and five prior to Dairanger, meaning it isn't THAT big of a drop in quality. In fact, i'd say it's only slightly below Jetman in terms of effects, and about on par or a little better in terms of story. The image quality isn't that great.

It also has one of my favorite mech designs



Give it a try whenever you feel like it and let me know what you think. I personally prefer old school Sentai to new school Sentai, so I hope you enjoy it, but if you don't I can't blame you.
