What exactly are you expecting from Shougeki Gouraigan anyway?
Amemiya clearly stated he wanted to make something completely opposite to Garo, and yet so many people completely ignored his statement and dived into it as if it is some hyper action thing.
He wanted to make something "down to earth", "not badass", "traditional".
If you miss Garo (Kouga) that much you will have to wait for a bit. Konishi Ryosei has agreed to return at 50 (yes. 50!), and Kaneda has agreed to film the sequel about Kouga in old age.

Gravure Idols

A gravure idol (グラビアアイドル gurabia aidoru?), often abbreviated to gradol (グラドル guradoru?), is a Japanese female model who primarily models in magazines, especially men's magazines, photobooks or DVDs. Gravure idols, in most cases, emphasize their sexual attractiveness and often model in swimsuits or lingerie.

"Gravure" (グラビア) is a Wasei-eigo term derived from "Rotogravure", which is a type of intaglio printing process that was once a staple of newspaper photo features. The rotogravure process is still used for commercial printing of magazines, postcards, and cardboard product packaging. When translating into English, terms such as cheesecake photograph or pin-up girl are often employed.

Gravure idols appear in a wide range of photography styles and genres. Their photos are largely aimed at male audiences with poses or activities often intended to be provocative or suggestive, generally accentuated by an air of playfulness and innocence rather than aggressive sexuality. Though gravure models may sometimes wear clothing that exposes most of their body, their nipples and genitals are generally covered and they seldom appear fully nude. It is also common for gravure idols to have very large breasts and in their videos models are often shown performing activities specifically intended to cause their breasts to bounce or shake such as jogging or doing jumping jacks.

Gravure models may be as young as pre-teen age up to early thirties. In addition to appearing in mainstream magazines, gravure idols often release their own professional photobooks and DVDs for their fans. Many popular female idols in Japan launched their careers by starting out as gravure idols.

Gravure models are commonly photographed wearing bikinis or lingerie but may also appear wearing schoolgirl uniforms, Japanese street fashion, and kimonos. Since 2008, zakzak magazine has awarded a Gravure Idol Award.

I can't tell that he wanted to do something completely opposite of Garo. He recycled so much from it, that it would seem that the opposite is true.

Indeed, anyone expecting a series billed as "love comedy battle action hero" since it's announcement to be a GARO clone is GODDAMN DUMBASS, IMO. Dr. Kain's just being an idiot asshole as always. Guess he enjoy being Armond White that much

If anybody still cares about the show, 6 was easily the worst one so far.

[Dr Kain]

I was expecting a show to have A PLOT and not be about random nonsense. We are 6 episodes in and the girl has no purpose. There has not been a single shred of a plot (and the series is only 13 episodes). And we have a secretary who is horny for no reason with a maybe villain that isn't even doing anything remotely evil unless you count ignoring his secretary's desires as evil. Lastly, how are these guys heroes? They are sitting around bickering among each other instead of trying to prepare for this upcoming invasion and taking out bad guys.

That's funny as that is exactly what your mother said about you last night.

[blackadder]

Wow, talking with you is just like talking to those annoying wannabe activists, no matter how wrong you are, no matter how much it's clear you didn't do your research or even know what the fuck you're talking about, you still want to win the argument. Whatever dickhead, arguing with you is just pointless, sometimes idiocy just can't be cured. I hope one day, Webster's dictionary is gonna include your name in one of the definitions of idiot.

I may not like the show, but this thread is proving to be fun.

Quite so.
