Yes, I'm officially hooked - I know all the words to the opening theme song, and I can almost sing the closing theme song, too. Kikaida is so much fun! It somehow feels relaxing to watch a mindless action series from the 70s, and I like listening to all the Japanese (several characters speak pretty fast!). This volume was really good, because it kind of crosses seasons of the show. Jiro defeats all 13 of the original DARK Destructoids, and then Professor Gill resurrects all of them (but mainly so they can test a new, more powerful Destructoid, namely Silver Tortoise!). In one episode, a Destructoid poses as Taro, Mitsuko's brother (who was killed by DARK), and Kikaida really kicks some metal butt when the impostor is exposed! I just realized that a lot of the Destructoids are cats (Silver Cat and Pink Tiger are in these episodes) - what's up with that? The bonus material is fun this time, with a Kikaida quiz (I scored 9 out of 10) and an awesome theme song karaoke, which includes all the verses of the two themes (they both have around four verses!). I've just bought all the other DVDs (for cheap), so I'm all set for Kikaida watching for quite a while!Labels: dvds, kikaida, tokusatsu
