Wow, Gorma love paedos, huh? A really camp, gay, cactus paedophile. This shit certainly was fucking creepy, so it succeeded there. It also centred around Daigo a lot, which is also a win in my book, although why does he have another story centred around a female with super powers? This show really needs more variation in its stories. They even managed to fit a generic green peace message in there as well.
Although the lack of teamwork does kinda suck, I will say that I do like that no member of the team seems overtly stronger than the other. Usually the villain of the week is always left for Red to defeat, while the others busy themselves doing something else, but minus members like Kazu or Lin who get barely any focus in this show at all, the team has had pretty equal victory figures under their belt. And if a franchise built around teams, that rarely has teamwork at all, gives you two options - one is to have the Red drown everyone out, or two, that simply each member of the team is powerful enough to function as an individual, I'd rather have two.
Although I have been fairly unimpressed with this show overall, what I will give the show, is that it has some damn impressive action. The show is about as old as me (or is it older?), and it really shows, lots of visible wires and safety equipment, lots of goofy special effects and cheap monster suits, but at the same time the sense of epic is just so well constructed here. No matter how goofy they are, they always have a huge amount of power which makes every fight and confrontation really feel like an epic, climactic battle and even though it constructs these big, explosive, crazy battles so well the show knows just as well, how to construct a thrilling and dramatic one on one showdown. I love it.
