Plus, that bike chase with one of the Grongi was an awesome set of episodes. I do feel the Grongi were much more interesting that most of the heroes though, but at least the police were not displayed as dumb idiots. They certainly are not dumb as the likes of the cops from W and Wizard.

I thought the grim nature of Kuuga worked to its detriment, I mean not only was there a severe tonal clash between rubber monster fighting and child suicides but the fact that Godai continued to goofily do a thumbs up while the show rubbed my face is the death count that was in the thousands by the end only further showcased just how fucking shit a hero Godai was.

The bike stuff was great, Ichijou is one of my all time favourite characters, but the story was shit, Godai is one of the worst heroes I've come across in any medium, the action was downright awful and it near embodied everything I don't like about Toku in one show, in a package so depressing and dour that it was near unwatchable at times.
