Ai No Senshi Rainbowman

[The_Next!!!]

I just started watching this series yesterday and am already halfway through disc 2! It is an AWESOME series, what's unique about it is that there are no kaijin, just human or mutant assasins who are hired to kill Rainbowman. The villains are a racist organization from China lead by the smarmy Mr. K, played by Akihiko Hirata who was Dr. Serizawa in Goji 1954. In episode 4 Rainbowman fights a big black guy who gets drugged with the psychoactive drug Cat's Eye and locked in a cage by Mr.K. I'm not gonna tell anything more just watch the series everyone!

The series is one of the earliest tokusatsu series in Japan. I hoped you enjoy watching the series.

Especially the ones Iguana summons!:O_O: And the masked mooks are pretty creepy too...that scene in ep 16 with the Blue goo hitting the mook and turning him to bones...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!:hmm:

Garuma's death scene was pretty brutal...the blue acid stuff leaking all over his body and bursting into flame, leaving nothing but a skeleton! :O_O:

Almost finished with the series...it's been quite a ride...I liked ep 32 with Pagora especially. Man the Shine Shine Dan get scarier with every episode...I love their theme song though. My favorite Dash form is Dash 5, a nice streamlined look to it.

I dig the music in the series. Jun Kitahara did a great job on the score, for once the kids choir doesn't get on my nerves. I love the 2nd ED with the kids choir singing along to a chant about destroying Rainbowman...:laugh:

Can't wait to see Machiko Soga-sama in ep 40 :buttrock:

 

[The_Next!!!]

Almost finished with the series, on ep 51.
The design of Mantis Man in the last couple eps is incredibly lame though:laugh::laugh::laugh:

I noticed there was lots of stock footage reused from their(Toho's) Godzilla films and things like The Mysterians and The Last War.
