The first episode is available subbed and I'm loving it so far.

Woah, M.A.N.T.I.S. looks pretty cool, like a wholly original American toku!
I'm a little surprised neither Go-Busters nor Beast Morphers went with that "wheelchair user who can walk with a power suit" route for Beet Buster, since the bulky tech armor on the legs would've fit perfectly for that. Though as far as I know, Gundeen is still the first to actually do superheroics in a wheelchair, so that's still a pretty big claim to fame!

This might be kind of random but I've been genuinely wondering why a lot of listings have this show as "Gandeen" or some other variation? It looks like the show itself has that part of the name written out as "Gand-D".
Regardless, this is a cool concept and I'm very interested after seeing NHK's other cool concept highlighting para-sports through anime with Ani x Para. I'll have to check this out now. |

Because that's how the katakana is pronounced. The logo has it written in English the way it is for a very specific reason that's explained in the show itself.

I really wanna go over this show at some point. Unfortunately for me the torrents for Episode 2 and 3 didn't work out so I was left with pretty shoddy quality versions for most of Gandeen... but man what a fun little series! It's lovely how much it just gets what makes Toku good with the down-to-earth family and interpersonal drama and optimism for the future; which is exactly the kind of thing I'd want out of a series like this.
In particular something I really really REALLY appreciated is that Taishi's ambition is to be an astronaut -- and I think something you'd often see for a disabled character is that getting shot down, or more than likely them having a more 'realistic' goal to begin with; but one of the running themes throughout most Toku shows is characters having lofty goals and aspirations and punching through all barriers with their determination to get there -- and again, that lands so perfectly for a series about a disabled character!! It's just such a wonderful example of what I love about Gandeen and I can't gush about it enough; using an understanding and love of the genre to lift up disabled people. Just to speak on a slightly more personal level, using the genre I love so much intertwined perfectly with a real life topic I care so much about?? This is one of those shows that's kinda made for me! The action scenes going all out to be as unique as they are only furthers this as well; there's so much creativity going in keeping every element in mind and I love the sense of scale going on with the monster's size which led to a huge city-wide brawl. I'm so happy to hear that we're apparently to be getting more out of this creative team; this could mean so much for Tokusatsu as a whole!
