Cheesy but fun Tokusatsu film. Everything about this film screams Keiya Amemiya, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that he co-wrote and directed the film. If you don't care for Tokusatsu at all this isn't a film that will change your mind, if you can look past the cheese there's some solid fun to be had.

The effects are cheesy and the film is pretty low-budget, but the designs are fun and the commitment to genre pulp is pure and unrelenting. It's also a shorter film, so the pacing is high. It's not great cinema, but it's made with passion and there is plenty of fun to be had. Decent Amemiya filler.
