I never actually caught the similarities to Bioman's design from Flashman until now.
But it doesn't matter to me, because I love their look more! So much of Flashman just gels with me, I really should find it and watch it in full.

Ah Flashman. The show I can’t quite decide is a great show, or an above average one. On one hand, there’s an interesting theme to it, and a pretty good story, in addition to the first “secondary Mecha” in the form of Flash Titan. But on the other hand, the show has way too many villains, with one of the initial ones never getting any dialogue and getting unceremoniously offed halfway through the show, while instead of just one later addition, they make 6, with only two having any dialogue and one having any prominence.
That said, I do like that they named their bad guy “Ra Deus”, purely because of how on the nose it is. And I fondly remember someone pointing out that Flashman’s Vul weapons make Timeranger’s Voltech weapons look lightweight by comparison. (To quote him, “at least the Timerangers were never visibly struggling to hold up their weapons”) This will also be the last time we see a green hero from the first episode, due green spandex (at the time) having its colour fade after 30 episodes of filming. So, don’t expect to see a lot of variety in colour combinations until Dairanger. |

Currently watching the first few episodes of Dynaman. I also watched the first four episodes of Battle Fever J, Fiveman, and Turboranger before that as well as the first six episodes of Go-Busters. Already liking what I'm seeing so far with Dynaman. I'm even already liking the ranger cast in this series.

Wait, is that true? Why would they even use Green if they knew this was an issue?

They didn’t know. That’s why they stopped, because they realised it was an issue.

But wouldn't they have noticed before? You said green fades 30 episodes in, right? So shouldn't they have realized to stop using green after the 80+ episode Gorenger?

Flashman was the first to have two robots in the form of Flash King and Flash Titan. Flash Titan is actually I believe a rehash of one of the Machine Robo toys just sentai'd up for the show, which makes sense if true cause Bandai made toys for both. The latter half of Flashman was thrilling to say the least, and the Rolling Vulcan scene is one of the best. I love how they improved on the Power Bazooka from Changeman, loved the way that footage was shot, and the bgm for it is really one of my favorites(especially the guitar work in that track). Also love how they have Yellow Flash target the weak spot first, nothing big but a nice little detail to add that they are not just firing blindly.

Would anyone be interested in a summary thread for Flashman, or should I keep my thoughts to myself on it?
