Independent Tokusatsu: Zan Saber
Apr. 12th, 2008 09:56 pmMarathoning Zan Saber (previews links on the left side of that page), since I was lucky and found the series on sale. (Yes, I give up trying to watch the file I have, which turned out be only the first episode anyway.) I was biased to love it since it has Ryunosuke Kawai, whom I've always wanted to see more on ever since he guest-starred as Konomi's date in that one episode of MEBIUS. And I didn't even know that he's the main character, despite all the pictures having him in the middle. ::is slow::
Anyway, I end up liking practically every character on that show (yes, even a few of the baddies), not just Kawai's character. I suppose that might be because Zan Saber is an independent tokusatsu, so has to rely more on actors being able to carry the story than on special effects, which were not bad to my untrained eyes. There are four episodes in the set I bought. I have no idea if there are still more episodes, since the end of the fourth episode is kind of left open.
I feel kind of obliged to point out that this show is practically slash haven. More so than Kamen Rider, I think. Particularly in the first two episodes.
( A little about the episodes. No real spoilers )
