Changeman 01. Pirate Booba sure is badass for a guy with boob in his name.

This show is basically Sun Vulcan if you took out the misogyny and replaced it with a budget. It also strikes this weird balance of being oddly brutal, without a single drop of blood.

Sure it's super dated, but it's pretty fun too. Like how our heroes transform for the first time, and shock themselves by launching their enemies into the air with their fists and feet. Or the slimy, body horroresque monsters that are actually terrifying enough that it isn't quite as obviously a man in a suit like I find with later seasons.

Although the heroes are not nearly as well designed as the villains - what is with that weird sports bra looking design thing? - I do like how they each are each centred around mythical creatures. Can't think of anything series that has a full team of mythical creature Rangers.

All in all, pretty great. Will probably pick this up next, as Go-Onger wasn't doing a whole lot for me. Just hope those random four episodes get subbed at some point.
