Episode 9: S.O.S Jun Unable to Transform! (Part 1)

It's kind of impressive how thorough this thing is.

Like, I could almost, almost see this as an actual Showa era Tokusatsu that really existed due to just how much effort was put into this one-off gag.

Really though, the key giveaway is that the production clearly has too much budget, and the effects are actually too good to ever be an actual Showa show, despite the efforts to be as cheesey as possible.

But hey, this was still fun to see regardless. There was some legit funny gags, both "in-universe" and meta-wise, the script pretty accurately reflected what would be a ninth episode of the TV show, there's a surprising amount of original music, and they even went to the effort of making their own toy commercial, the likes of which you still see unto today.

It's nothing super amazing, but it's a very fun sit, especially as a DVD bonus feature, and I'm glad that they went through with it. But with this out of the way, all that leaves is the final thoughts on Tekkouki Mikazuki, of which I'll type up tomorrow. See you then!
