Episode 36: A New Enemy! Huh?

Just when I think this show can't possibly get any more wild, it does.

And just like the other notably insane episodes before it, I'm really not sure how I'd even go about describing this one.

Well for one thing, there is a ton of meta humor at play here, and not so much in the sense of fourth wall breaking, but moreso having fun with the very idea of Changerion as a TV show in which kids watch.

Yeah, that's a detail they drop here, by the way, that Changerion was apparently aimed at a child audience. Which, that in itself is crazy to me, because almost this entire show thrives on both meta and adult humor, meaning that kids are not gonna understand half of what Changerion is throwing at them.

There's also a major twist involved in this episode that I dare not spoil, because there is no way anyone will see it coming and it absolutely sent me as soon as I saw it play out before my very eyes. And in a funny contrast to that, Vins, who all show has been built up as one of the major villains? He's just casually defeated by Changerion without much fanfare.

This is yet another episode that showcases what I consider Changerion's' best aspect: It being a toku equivalent of a rollercoaster ride. Sure, being smart, thought provoking, "deep" and whatever that people usually go on about when talking about shows is great and all, but this? This show is just sheer fun, and I won't ever complain about that.

Man I love tokusatsu as a medium!
