Kikaider?

Postby Jimmothy » Wed Jun 11, 2003 2:48 pm

Anyone know anything about Kikaider? I know it just came on Adult Swim 12:00 A.M. I wondered if it was worth watching?:?:

It's okay from what I've seen. I wouldn't put it up there with one of the greats, but it's worth a look. The show aired in Japan in the 1970's and kind of has a comic strip look to its characters. Kikaider is based on the origional Kikaider which is a live action television show. I would say that Android Kikaider, the Animation would be an action/suspence anime. hope that helped.

I caught a glimpse of that show last night...I think I might try to watch it sometime. If it's on Adult Swim...how clean is it? Or does anyone know? I guess it can't be too bad if they're showing it on TV huh. Oh well, forget I asked.

My brain is hiding from me today.

From what I saw, which was the very first episode, I think, it wasn't bad in any way, it was just a little bit strange. I didn't really get the plot, since everything that was written was in Japanese. It was okay, I suppose, it's worth a look.

I was surprised when I saw Kikaider on CN. There's a Japanese station here in Honolulu that my mom often watches called KIKU. They show the live tv series Kikaida a lot, and many little kids around here are into it. I find it kind of funny to watch it. :P
