This a story of Hazama Masayoshi a young man how grue up watching Japanese super hero shows (like Kamen Rider our the Power Rangers) and gain a strange obsession by them... He decides to become a real life super hero and fight crime for justice and for all that is good but after his first attempt fails he is discovered by Goto a police officer who instead of arresting him decides to let him go and builds a very strong relationship with Masayoshi and eventually becoming best friends.
Even so Masayoshi dosent give up and continues his quest to become a super hero and continues his long journey to greatness. Its during this journey that he meets new allies who got inspired by his deed and decide to assist him like an actor of one of Masayoshi's old shows who decides to train him , a pop star who decides to be a super hero as well ,and a scientist that decided to make weapons and gadgets for Samurai Flamenco.
The thing that made me be attracted to this anime in the first place was the realism and the amazing pacing , it was amazingly well written and the characters had such great personalities that made me think if id put this Im my top 10. How ever everything changed when ep 7 arrived...
No one was waiting for this one and just for your own sake
Spoilers
The realism of the entire show drops in a instant when in a drug bust a drug dealer turns into a Giant Cybernetic Gorila with a Guillotine for a belly...
Yeah true story...
This is 100% real and I was baffled when I saw that...
How ever it is just the tip of the iceberg of wired ness of the show , Giant Robots ,mutants , cyborgs and even aliens make an appearance and the show isn't even subtitle about it .
Even so its still very entertaining and the story is still very well written even tho there is some indices of shark jumping and and plot points that are completely bull...
Still its still a a good show how ever its has two major weaknesses :
-The pace constantly changing
-And the ending
The show consistently changes its story and thus the pacing changes as well
one minute the show is very realistic ,the its i realistic and goofy ,then its very dark , than epic ,than absurd.... its like the show has multiple personality disorder or did a lot of drugs.
The ending kinda bordered me not because it was too stupid of anything but because it wasent anything special... I was waiting for a great climax that enplaned everything but instead it ended in filler.
But still Samurai Flamenco is a good show or rather Samurai Flamenco is a a very good experiment it shows perfectly how creative processes can collide with each other and and create something half baked that honestly because of its writing it kinda holds off together.
This show isnt for every one but i still encourage every one who likes super heroes shows to watch it.
VIVA TORTURE !!!!!!!
