Liveman 05. I seriously fucking love this show, it's really hard to talk about because there is honestly very few flaws to really discus.

The Livemen are both great characters, but also prove to you why they are the heroes. Yusuke and Jo are such bafoons, but they are so loveable and badass and Megumi is just... *_* Their suits and their vehicles all look great, and it's made even better because they personally made them. I don't even mind their mecha, as this was the day and age where the giant robots actually looked like robots.

Meanwhile as goofy as the villains are, and as much as they are victim to the shows age, these are also sentai villains from an age where shows were allowed to be much more explicit in their darker parts so they are just great.

From the human machine-gun Mazenda, to shoujo werewolf Kemp and finally the operatically insane Obler who gave up his humanity in the belief that being a monster is the ultimate evolution for humankind, they are just great. Even Gush is memorable, he does nothing, but he looks so damn cool doing it I love him all the same. Plus the monsters of the week all look great, all designed from interesting meshes of technology and organic monster parts.
