The cast is great (Watari is an actor more capable in Spielban than in Sharivan), all the designs are fantastic, and the story is strong. But some subplots were resolved abruptly: Daigoro and your friends were removed from the show without any explanation; Youki was a great villain, but appeared in just four episodes; Deathzero was transformed in a stupid unable in the later episodes, etc. <br /><br />I think Naomi Morinaga was more comfortable in the first episodes, in the role of the running woman, than playing a heroine. I didn´t like the interaction between her and Diana.<br /><br />Anyways, I consider Spielban a good farewell to the cosmic heroes. Some episodes (1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 21, 24, 25, 29, 36 and 39) are outstanding.<br /><br />I´m eagerly waiting for the Spielban´s Figuarts release, too.Ricardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010697858480205281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696720423221574873.post-11626317594466768812015-07-25T19:57:49.792-07:002015-07-25T19:57:49.792-07:00I completely agree on Spielban.

Spielban's music collection is kinda tired with a ton of it being ripped off from Sharivan (so what if Watari was lead in both...sheer laziness). It was even more tired when Watanabe did Jiban, though.<br /><br />I did watch Juspion, Spielban, and Metalder all in one shot one Summer way back when I was in High School and ended up liking Spielban the best. There was a huge premium on Metal Hero shows back then. I had to trade pretty much all of my Turboranger-Kakuranger tapes to get those three. I never realized the show wasn't that popular in Japan, though. I always thought it did well enough since it seems to have a bit more stay over Juspion. <br /><br />Figuarts Spielban has to happen. If nobody bought Juspion, that's their problem. It was proof that they finally nailed how to handle a Metal Hero suit after we were all duped by the Uchuu Keiji ones. Even though I say I'll take any Metal Hero Figuarts I'll be pretty pissed if they steamroll ahead and release the Winspector trio next. Spielban (and hopefully Diana and Helen), then Metalder, then they can go hogwild and jump wherever they want to.

And those groups that do attempt to start a sub drop the project or disappear altogether soon afterward. Black Fanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221768626354035751noreply@blogger.com
