This story focuses on a young man named Kyotaro Kagami, he finds out that his long lost father is his an alien from another galaxy, and his mother is a human.
Kyotaro's father failed to stop the evil force called the Invaders, and now with the charm Kyotaro's father gave to him. He can transform into the giant space hero Mirrorman!
First the monster designs, the early designs are really creative and out there, like they look like they were made by aliens, but the later monster designs don't hit me that good anymore, like some are really generic, look similar, obviously repurposed. But there are a couple of exceptions.
I just realized that the first half of this show is better than the second half, but there are some things that the second half do better than the first half. Like pacing, as a young person with a low attention span, the pacing of the first half of episodes is a little hard for me. But of course it pulled me back in when the good fight scenes came in.
The fight scenes in this show are really good, tons of abilities from the monsters and Mirrorman, the fight choreography is well done too.
One consistent problem I hear about this show is that in the first half, a lot of monsters reappear, probably because they didn't have the budget to make a new monster every episode. But I don't think that this is a problem, because remember, the early monster designs in this show are really good.
The side characters are fine, once in a while they'll have a episode dedicated to the invaders using one of the SGM member's weaknesses against them, but other than that there isn't much to them. Kotaro is really cool though.
Though I like this show, it's not one of my favorites. It gets repetitive really quickly, like a lot of other Toku shows from the time.
But if you're okay with these small quirks, it's a pretty great time!
Pretty good show! 8/10.
