| Kikaida Vol 1 : 3 of 5 | |

 My pal Dae always sends me cool birthday presents, and one of them this year was this DVD, featuring the first five episodes of this wacky Japanese series from the early 1970s. I hadn't seen Kikaida before, but after reading episode titles like Green Mantis: Bizarre Killing Machine and Orange Ant: Challenge to the Death, I knew I was going to love it (since I can't get enough of rubber suit monsters)! Kikaida is a robot (who has a human form and a robot form that looks like a red and blue Ultraman) who was created to fight the forces of DARK, an evil organization who wants to take over the world, and keeps sending new Destructoids out to face Kikaida. When Kikaida is in human form, he's called Jiro, and he always shows up strumming his red guitar to announce he's ready for battle, and then transforms by yelling "Switch on! 1, 2, 3!" The battles are great, since when an enemy is destroyed, there's a cloud of smoke and then lots of random electronic parts fall to the ground (one time I saw an ordinary house light switch)! The theme songs during opening and closing titles are funny, too, with hilarious lyrics. It's so bad that I love it to pieces! Now I'm faced with the decision of buying more of the series (since Netflix doesn't have it) - I want to see the rest of the Destructoids!
