So I decided to watch the first episode of Liveman, since I'm getting close to finishing Dairanger.

Man the quality of these rips are bad, but at least it's GUIS and not TVN.

I'm not surprised they had to set this on Tracy Island. Where else would they set something this multicultural, in xenophobic Japan? Hahaha. Still, the fact that the core heroes and villains are all Japanese ruined this a bit. All in all, it feels like a prototype Jetman and holds up pretty well.

The best action scene in the whole episode is when Megumi rides away from the attacking spaceships on a pushbike, somehow peddling faster than their lasers. Well either that, or any of the villains powers like Beautiful Beast or Elbow Gun. In seriousness the mecha was pretty cool, reminded me of Zoids.

Holy crap it's Jin and is that...Gara?! Jin and Gara look fucking stupid in this show, yes, even Gara looks worse than that weird BDSM costume she wears in Dairanger. Luckily Bias has a slightly better design, minus wearing women's boots. Not only that, but I swear they reused some of the footage from this for when the Dragon God goes on his rampage in Dairanger.
