Kikaida Vol 2 : 3 of 5

I had never even heard of Kikaida when Dae bought me the first DVD of this series for my birthday, but now I think I'm hooked! I was reluctant to start collecting the DVDs, since they were all so expensive on Amazon, but I found them for a super-cheap price on Overstock.com, so now I'm continuing with these rubber-suit adventures! In this volume, every episode is basically the same formula - a new DARK Destructoid shows up (and usually kills some people, which is definitely out of the norm for a kid's action show), Dr. Komyoji (who has amnesia) wanders around a bit, Mitsuko and Masaru get in trouble, and Jiro finds a way to block the sound of Professor Gill's flute so he can change into Kikaida and save the day. Yes, it's just a goofy as it sounds, and for further proof, the Destructoids in these episodes are named Black Horse, Bull Kong, Carmine Spider, Red Condor, and Scorpion Brown (and their costumes are awesome, especially when you can see the eye-holes for the dude inside)! I love singing the opening and closing theme songs, and I think it will be interesting to actually see how the series evolves and ends. I love living in the 70s again when a good double-chop was all you needed to make an evil android explode!
