Title: Prepare for Zaniness :-)
Review: Shinesman is a rather interesting two-episode series. Parodying anime's hero team genre, Shinesman is a five-member team charged with protecting the Earth (i.e., Tokyo) from all evils. Hiroya, the main character, draws upon his affection for his young (and far too understanding) brother to give him the strength needed to conduct battle.This is a great, fun title to watch. However, there are several semi-serious flaws. First, virtually ALL Japanese text has been covered up with English translations. Second, while it is nice to not have closing credits after the first episode and opening credits preceding the second episode, the Shinesman commercial bridging the two episodes goes beyond zany to the absolute idiotic. These are the reasons why I can only rate this a "4" overall.Unfortunately, the series ends far too nicely - it would be nice to have a sequel.
Is the review positive or negative?
