Episode #2: The Toraiger Woman
I felt this one was a little forced?
I mean, I still liked the episode overall, sure, but some of the key moments felt like happened solely for plot's' sake.
Probably the biggest example being Nakamura dropping her capsule towards the start of the episode, and she sweeps it under a seat in a panic. When she could've, and realistically would've, just like, picked it up and chucked it in her locker.
But whatever. Sure, that sort of thing was a detriment, but I still liked the episode overall, as I said before. The first half dealing with the mother was frustrating, but purposefully so. And the second half was alot of fun for both the tokusatsu elements as well as the character interactions.
Like, the second half of the episode features a shopping mall stage show, and I won't lie I actually kinda got into it, haha. The budding friendship between Nakamura, the titular Toraiger woman, and the Yakuza shop owner was very sweet to see play out too, while also maintaining alot of the subject matter that the first episode talked about.
Mainly in the different ways people wear the masks they present in public, how hobbies can transcend generations and genders, and how, well, game recognizes game. Oh, and also misunderstandings piling atop misunderstands as if this was written by Inoue, but outside of some comedic bits with Onoda I didn't really care much for that aspect. But atleast it was less frustrating than the stuff with the mom I guess.
I also wanna give a shout out to just how authentic this show actually is with its elements in portraying both toku as well as the fandom aspect. Like, yeah, the shows within this show are very much made up, but they feel actually real, with a ton of fake merch to go along with them and everything. It's easy to tell that whoever's the head of this show either has alot of personal experience, or did their research very well.
Tokusatsu GaGaGa
really reminds me alot of
Samurai Flamenco
in that regard.
Anyway, yeah. Not perfect, but still a fun episode overall.
