[DreamSword]

Just finished episode 10 of Super-1, and my takeaway so far is that this show is friggen hardcore!

Like, just as an example, the latest episode was all about a monster who inflicted people with so much fear they'd attempt suicide. And its title? The Devil's Christmas Present. Add to that the various vicious death traps Dogma sets up throughout the show and the onscreen death that happens every now and again... how were people claiming Black was way darker than previous entries??

Outside of that though, I am actually having alot of fun watching this show so far.

Like, yeah, outside of Kazuya all of the characters a pretty one-note so far, but sometimes all you need is a cool hero punching evil in the face, and Super-1 definitely delivers with some surprisingly well choreographed fight scenes.

If the show keeps up this kind of pace, I think it'll definitely take the spot as my new favorite Showa entry of the franchise(currently that position belongs to J). It's got a cool suit design and gimmick, good action, and a likeable hero. And you know, that's really all I need sometimes. It really does feel refreshing after a string of the "deeper" entries in the franchise that I've been watching recently. It's simplistic yes, but it's also very enjoyable.
