Props to Takatera for producing both shows. Of course, he got kicked out of Toei during mid-production of Hibiki because it was not doing so hot for toy sales and Toei probably was fed up with him being such an auteur as well. It's bad enough years prior he wasted money on a chapel set and burn it to the ground just to film the debut of Kuuga Mighty form.
