VR Troopers Episodes 1-3 -- The Battle Begins Pts 1 & 2, Error in the System. Took a break from Ultraman and turned my brain off for a while with these shows. Man, VR Troopers was such a zany show. It's impressive how much the whole thing holds together considering it's Frankenstein's monster like origins. Still holds up as silly entertainment for sure.

Also amazing how a show about super technology looks so danged low rent, heh.

After almost 20 years, Battle Grid Mode still makes no sense to me. What's the point? And why does the Virtual World look exactly the same as the real world? I mean, I know WHY why, but still!

I still love Ziktor and his Skug-babes in the real world, plus Grimlord and his Virtual Dark Fortress full of his minions in the Virtual World, though. Also odd is that while I really like JB and Kaitlin's designs (from Spielban), I have never really warmed to Ryan's armor (from Metalder). I guess it looks "too different" from the previous Metal Heroes like Gavan, Shaider, etc., whereas Spielban and Diana look more in-line.

Still, have to admit I enjoyed myself watching them. Pure nostalgia trip back to freshman year in HS when I would watch an hour-long block of this show and Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad on Channel 11 in NY while working out after school. "Hail Grimlord, Master of the Virtual World!"
