Ah, Janperson. Episode 40 was the debut work of Yasuko Kobayashi.

I've been keeping up with Avalon, which is a new indie toku production by Sword and Shield Productions. Two episodes are out so far, and I've been enjoying it. I like the general aesthetic it has, and the stunts and comedic beats are surprisingly solid for an indie show. I recommend checking it out if you're into indie stuff.

I am now up to episode 21 of Janperson which is the episode where Gun Gibson makes his first official appearance into the series. I think Janperson might be on its way to becoming one of my favorites within the Metal Heroes franchise.

The robot prison arc is memorable for sure.

Not a tokusatsu, but I watched Garo: The Carved Seal of Flames.
Bad, very bad! This just adds more fuel to my semi-joking theory that Yasuko Kobayashi never recovered from the strain of writing Kamen Rider Ryuki! ![]() I think some of the show's shortcomings are to be expected. The budget was obviously low and stylistically I didn't expect that an anime would be able to match the appeal of live-action wacky wire stunts. But... the show doesn't really redeem itself in any other way. I think I'd genuinely struggle to think of a show with more predictable plot beats than this one, the characters are flimsy, the writing is poor both episode by episode and from an overarching perspective, they barely put any effort into the fake medieval Spain setting. What a disaster! I don't have anything nice to say this time, sorry! |

32 episodes into Janperson and this show just gets better and better to the point where it might displaced Spielban as my second favorite Metal Heroes series if this show keeps up this level of quality right up to the very end. Speaking of Metal Heroes, I also just started watching Juspion today and I already finished its first two episodes.

I am now six episodes away from finishing up Janperson. I also watched a few more episodes of Juspion.
