Boy, is it ever. I think half of the dialogue was folks saying ?Space Sheriff Gavan??!? I liked him in this, thankfully, because he?s in too much of the show for me to just ignore him. I like how Geki is a real modern hero ? smug, hot-headed, smirking in the face of death ? but Gavan is all shot-for-shot Showa stuff. The little break to show us the Electroplating!!! Bonkers. The second Gavan shows up in costume, the logic of this show tilts into completely insane Showa nonsense ? the Metaroid gets a dirt bike from Somewhere, the Makuu Space makes evil three times stronger in a quantifiable way ? and it?s awesome to watch the Busters try to retain their sanity in the face of such absurdity. Gavan?s a toku fever dream compared to the coherence of your normal Go-Busters cause-and-effect, and the collision of those two sensibilities made for a fairly rousing climax. I will give this Gavan guy one more shot!

The convenient thing about this new generation Uchuu Keiji content is that it can be enjoyed without any knowledge of the original trilogy. I haven't watched any of that trilogy yet, but I became a fan of Uchuu Keiji (and by extension Metal Heroes) starting with the adventures of Geki and Shelly. In general, the ridiculous Super Hero War movies are probably a terrible introduction to any unfamiliar characters due to Yonemura often writing them OOC, so I'm glad to see that this Gobusters x Gavan crossover is giving you more to enjoy. Hoping you'll give Metal Heroes a chance, even if it's just those new generation Uchuu Keiji movies!
