Episode 5: The Meaning of Justice!
If this episode was at all trying to get me to feel pity for Flamenco Girl, then it thoroughly failed, and as such, I'll be focusing on everything else that this episode has to offer.
Because, actually, outside of the Mari stuff, this had alot going for it!
The setup is that Masayoshi actually manages to land an acting gig as an Important Guy of the Week in the currently airing Sentai show(funnily enough dressed as Kotaro Minami). Upon having some chats with the director and the film crew, Masa soon learns that world of filming Toku isn't quite what he imagined it to be
Alongside that is the public looking more and more unfavorably on the tactics of Flamenco Girl, and the new position Goto gets as a result of the public outcry being little more than a publicity stunt on the part of the cops. The entire theme of this episode just the meaning of justice as the title might suggest, but also idealization versus reality, as well as what it means to truly be the type of hero often portrayed in superhero shows.
It's the fact that all of the important players in the cast get hit by these questions to some degree(yes, even Mari), that really drew me into this one, and even better, the atmosphere of the episode as a whole really matched everything going on.
Speaking of "episodes" it's pretty funny how the plot Masayoshi pitches to the director of "Brass Rangers" about Masa's' character matches up almost point for point with the letter that Masayoshi gets from his late grandfather. Which, by the way, was a rather touching moment. And hey, it resulted in him finally breaking things off with Mari, so double points there.
Before I end this post off though, I guess now is as good a time as any to bring this up. This is the opening theme to
Samurai Flamenco
:
"Just One Life" by SPYAIR is a great song, and really matches the strength of a Samurai with the passion of Flamenco. And if that band seems at all familiar to you like it did me, well, that might be because they also made this number:
That song is "My World" which served as the second ending theme for
Gundam AGE
, and is by far the best ED in that anime, if you ask me.
With a new helmet in hand, I am definitely looking forward to whatever adventures that Samurai Flamenco and the newly established unit of the police get into next.
