The beginning premise was very humane experience of what heroes from TV shows would be in real life. Being ostrisized and ridiculed, while few thanked and supported the gentle hearted Hazama. It was mundane and the problems that occurred wasn't any extraordinary news.
But the story takes a sudden turn with real monsters and psychopathic villain appears out of thin air. Then tops that with a ridiculous bullshit that is Flamenger and the classic superhero sentai trope of previewing monsters before their arrival.
This again gets topped by senator Armstrong from MGS: reveagence propaganda, in order to defeat Alien Flamenco god. However Hazama being epitome of a hero; he refuse to continue fighting fabricated enemies to fulfil his fantasy, if it meant endangering other people around him.
This yet again gets topped by sickening attacks made by Haiji, who is not a formulated villain like before. This was what superheroes should be concerned if their secret identity was revealed.
At the final arc there is the revelations of many of these mentally broken characters which are then explored making interesting mini plots for each of them. Whether it was a setup or incidental, the final arc definitely the highlight of the show with ridiculous fantasy build up crashing down to grim reality.
The show overall is a massive superhero plot orgy ride, you will never see same thematic more than once every 7-8 episodes, which is like watching 4 animes at once.
The art direction wasn't anything outstanding, but definitely average if not better. Presentation was consistent while accompanying myriad of themes and moods.
As a disclosure I am bias as donkey when it comes to superhero content.
Should you recommend Samurai Flamenco? Yes, if they like plot orgy
