EmerJason is the Hero we didn't deserve, but the Hero we needed.

I know this was supposed to have been finished last week (2 weeks?) but I had internet issues and lots of stuff to take care of, but I have finally finished Tokusatsu GaGaGa, the show where we all relate to Nakamura-San.

Now, I'd just like to throw this out here right now, but my family already knows I'm into Tokusatsu, as I grew up watching Godzilla and have a burning passion for men in goofy costumes. But even watching this show and witnessing the struggles of Nakamura's closet obsession still reminds me of myself, even if I'm what you'd call a recluse, I'd still not like to show off in front of people who would look at my interests in distaste. Heck, this applies to Anime and other things as well, I do feel embarrassed when people look at me looking at Legos or perusing the Manga section in a library, wondering why this haggard looking old man is poring into kid's toys or comics with hot chicks on them, when it's obviously not what it looks like.

But the true beauty of this show is how perfectly the Tokusatsu shows coincide with Nakamura's daily struggles, from Jyushouwan's season mirroring the show as a whole, to the important lessons of these heroic figures whom we idolize, even comparing individuals to characters within the show, which this show depicts splendidly. I had fun watching this series, very heartwarming and wholesome, but reminds me of the good I've learned from these shows (or movies, as once again, Godzilla was a big part of my childhood, and the themes depicted in that left an impact on me to this day. I'd tell you about the Godzilla Vs Hedorah experience, but that's another story) and it amazes me how these simple "kid shows" convey something most mature stories fail to reach, which could come down to giving children a good upbringing or the general audience rating leaving no room for adding obstacles to prevent people from enjoying what it means to convey.

I could go on all day about that, but I'm already losing track here. I say this show is great, and the themes it absolutely delivers. I still love that one scene where EmerJason actually gets chased by the cops when he's just a figment of Nakamura's imagination, or that scene where he appears before Nakamura in her senior highschool days rediscovering her love for Tokusatsu, which is an absolutely masterful scene (I guess writing this, I already love EmerJason).

Might take a break for now, but the Ultraman Taiga Movie and Super Hero Senki are on my radar... But my next show is going to be the official unofficial parody Toei made themselves, Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger!
