| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- As a OVA, it was bad. There was very little, if any, background about any of the characters. If this had been expanded to a 12-13 part series it would have made more sense. This was defiantly an OVA built upon cliche's, mecha body suits vs. dimensional creatures. I would have liked to have more of this. |

| It was a great homage to shows like Gyaban with those typical SFX/BGM, scenes, The unusual setting and the format (video animation) help to demarcate from the genre and give a new look on it. Enjoyment: 5/5 Score: 6/10 sbyrstall said: As a OVA, it was bad. There was very little, if any, background about any of the characters For me, it is a perfectly normal thing in a non-series OAV. Plus telling a story did not seem to be the major objective here. |
| I liked it. It felt as if they threw me into the middle of a long-running series (like with the characters already familiar with their roles and each other), which was a great way to eliminate the need for tedious exposition, and that ended up making for an entertaining experience. Not very knowledgeable when it comes to toku but it was pretty coherent. Hopefully OP actually was around to read some of these responses, and learn something, cause I did. |

| Never even knew about this until a few weeks ago. Got myself a copy and watched it today. Absolutely great. I'm a huge fan of toku and this was nice representation of an average episode of 80's toku, albeit a tad more graphic. I only wish there was a better release out there somewhere. |

| That was so.. Horrible ( in my opinion) |
| The ending felt sort of rushed with everything happening in the last 10 min (the mc's heper being captured and mind controlled, the villain trying to control Shinaa, being exposed, transforming, teleporting them, ect...) Still, it's decent enough I guess. |
 |
| This was like a love letter to Space Sheriff and Tokusatsu heroes. The pacing was good. I enjoyed it. Wish it was a full series instead of just one OVA but that is fine. |
 |
| A decent one-off, I get that it's a homage but does seem like the kind of thing that would've done well as a series, or at least multiple episodes! |

| Dude this is like Metal Hero tokusatsu in anime form perfection!! The attention to detail was top notch, the songs, the choreography, the weapons, the moves and everything was awesome. Great homage to Uchuu Keiji Gavan. The cute sexy ladies only made it better. Why can't we have anime like this anymore? |
