Here is weird but cool 70s Japanese show.
This story follows robot detective K and his friends detective Shiba, and detective Shinjo. Shiba is kinda've a jerk to K, he is almost always insulting K and making him sad. But he eventually starts to treat K nicer.
Shinjo is a dedicated person willing to fight even the strongest robots in the show. Even though he fails every time, it's cool seeing him try, he even has a couple of stand out scenes where he actually does a good job at fighting.
Shiba has 2 daughters, Yumi and Nami. There's nothing much to them but it's cool seeing Shiba having a life outside of investigating.
I feel like the first few episodes are the most interesting, probably because it's before they started reusing episode plots later down the line but I'll get into that later. The evil crime organization BAD has been terrorizing the populated areas of Japan. The robot designs and abilities are on-par to what Kamen rider was putting out at the time.
This show follows the monster of the week format very strictly, and barely does anything different.
There is three robots in the show where on of their abilities is separating their limbs and reconnecting them, and it acts like it's never been done before.
The fights scenes are pretty good though, the fight choreography and unique locations lends the fight scenes more substance and realism.
There are some side characters that sometimes assist the trio but there is not much to them either.
Even though I really enjoyed this show, it's still hard to recommend this to newer viewers of tokusatsu.
But if you're interested, go right ahead!
You'll like this show a lot!
8/10.
