Banking on the modern revival of 1980s pop culture, we have a remake of a 1980 Tokusatsu inspired children's anime... by Ryosuke Takahashi of Armored Trooper VOTOMS fame? Well, I just had to check this one out and I am glad I did.

Story: 5,5/10
Muteking the Dancing Hero is an anime based on a simple concept, seen in anime and western animation alike hundreds of times before. An evil plot threatens the regular lives of people in Neo-San Francisco. Mixed in there is a subtle critique of modern day large scale capitalism, gentrification and consumerism from a most likely social democratic perspective. As for the main ...

Muteking is an odd one, and not just the plot.

After watching the first few episodes I was very ready to give this a 3 out of 10 max or drop the series entirely.
It's at its worst when it first has to introduce the characters, setting, and basic premise. I kind of get the impression that as Muteking is a pre-established property (see the 80s anime), that it didn't care so much for these establishing episodes. The pacing is awful at the start, and scenes either feel haphazardly put together or have characters dumping plot at you, interspersed with cheesy jokes. I can well see this ...

This is an terrible anime with the only good quality that I can consider is the concept and the ending of this show. And another thing is that the protagonists songs are cringe as hell and repeat through out the show without changing at all. The story is shit and the characters are also equally as crumby as the story. The build up to the climax is non existent and the chemistry in this show is fake. There plot points that come out of no where and make the anime more uninteresting as a result. This seems more of a mindless kids show then anything. ...
