And their origin was revealed later, when the viewer had already fallen in love with them and therefore assessed them less critically.
P.S. I hope I haven't wandered into spoiler territory. If anything happens, I apologize and cover what is needed.

Add another thing to the list of vague things I have heard about Metalder that intrigue me to no end. Greatly looking forward to watching it at some point.

With Jiban though, I kind of feel like they went too far in the opposite direction though. The show takes so long to establish what the backstory even was that it was hard to get invested for a while, simply because I was too distracted trying to work out what the show was even about and why everything was happening!
