Viewing Notes

Been wanting to revisit this for a while now (it’s on Tubi) but when DKU programmed it for tonight it was a chance to watch it without commercial breaks. Still not perfect (has pacing issues which is a strange thing for a 80min movie) but it looks great and has excellent giant robots. Red Baron is chef’s kiss.

The stream via Twitch was way better this time and the transfer was HD quality. Another reason I wanted to revisit is that it stars Chihiro Yamamoto who I’ve gotten to know from Ultraman Geed and her own movie BLACK FOX. She’s great and gets a moment to show off her skills.
