[Mashin Hero Wataru] I’m really into Creation; it’s super interesting, and I’m curious about it, but is the old work similar in tone?

Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)17:01+

So, how do old fans feel about Creation Tale?

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)17:02Yeahx18

Both are the best!

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)17:02Yeahx3

Just saying that you don’t need to watch “Chou.”

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)17:04Yeahx2

It’s cool and interesting!

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)17:04

The “Creation Legend” has successfully modernized the feel of the original.
There are various homages, so you should check it out.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)17:06

Is it the second one that Tatsuya Umebayashi and Hiroki Matsukata appear in?

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)17:06Yeahx2

“Super is garbage, so you don’t have to watch it.”

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)17:07Yeahx13

They say you don’t have to watch “Chou.”
The Super Demon God is so cool!

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)17:11

I love super-powered transformations.
The lion and the thunder wolf have been shortchanged…

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:45Yeahx1

>>8>The lion, the thunder wolf, and the moonlight were caught in a conflict…So it was just the Phoenix, the Sword King, and the usual ones?

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)17:13

I like the first generation the most.
The creation legend feels like, “This is it, just like this!”

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)17:22Yeahx6

It’s super good!
Super Demon God is cool, isn’t it!
The Sword King is too much!

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)17:24Yeahx1

I was having a lot of fun back then.
It may have been the most fun to have jumped back to the past around the midpoint.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)17:48

I understand.
I think the moonlight should have been released every week.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)17:56

The lion’s handling, given that it is the first transformation form, is just transformation → immediate binding technique → immediately back to the original Ryujinmaru…
I feel like there were a few episodes where they fought while transformed around the midpoint.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)17:57Yeahx8

There’s an easy-to-understand stickiness emerging.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:00Yeahx3

It’s an Enjoyer, right?

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:05Yeahx1

The current one really feels like Wataru from the Reiwa era! It’s fun, so I think it would be nice to enjoy it with the vibe of wondering if this is Wataru from the Showa era…

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:10

In the Reiwa era, the live-action parts are mostly geared towards comedy, but in the Showa era, there is quite a bit of action even in the live-action parts.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:12

In “Sōzōden,” Wataru doesn’t fight in his real form.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:14

Isn’t it just barely within the Heisei era at the time of the first Wataru?

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:19Yeahx1

>>19The broadcast started on April 15, 1988, and continued until March 31, 1989.
The Heisei era began on January 8, 1989, so it’s mostly still Showa.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:14

To put it plainly

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:15Yeahx4

>>20It’s deleted in an instant!

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:17Yeahx4

For my generation, “Chou” was the first Wataru…

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:18Yeahx1

Hero Tales are great, right…
Because the enemy demon god’s 3D model is out…

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:18

>>23Both 2 and the Super Creation Transmission have been released, you know…

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:21Yeahx1

I’ve been watching it from the beginning recently, but my favorite opening is definitely the first one.
I have only watched up to a certain point in the main story.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:23

We weren’t even doing it at all.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:25

>>27The bureau is…

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:27

Amazing hunchback.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:27Yeahx1

I feel like there was a main character with big breasts.
There used to be a game like Atomazekko Monster, right?

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:29

>>30Sparrows are nice, aren’t they…
My memories of hitting my knees to transform Pokémon elements into a bowling ball with my pet.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:28Yeahx1

Both old and new anime created by shotacon have proper respect, right?

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:28Yeahx1

The first and second generations are from Nippon Television, but Ultra and Creation Legend are from TV Tokyo.
The Legend of Creation is good because it has online streaming and reruns on BS.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:31

1 and 2 can still be enjoyed now, but 3 felt tough even in real-time.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:31Yeahx1

I haven’t seen the old one, but I used to see Wataru as material since around the time I became familiar with it, so I can’t see him as a cute protagonist…

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:32Yeahx1

The animation jumps to the 90s all at once in episode 2, right? Wataru.
It’s only been a year since the final episode of the first season.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:32Yeahx1

After watching the three-episode OVA, I thought it was quite challenging that no demons appeared at all…

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:33

I particularly liked the episode of the sacred tree.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:33

>>38So you were a woman…

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:34

I’m a bit hazy on the details, but wasn’t there a really serious work that made you think, “Is this really Wataru!?” I feel like it was from the OVA of the second one, right?

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:35

>>40That would be the case.
Not a single demon god appears.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:37Yeahx1

>>40The OVA between 2 and Chō shows Wataru fighting in real life and slicing enemies.
It’s not like the way Shibaraku-sensei cuts, it’s really the type that makes you bleed, so it’s surprising.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:34Yeahx1

I was surprised when the phrase “good heart” came up in Sozo Den.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:35

It was super intense watching it in real time.
It wasn’t interesting… I can’t say anything because my memories are hazy.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:36

You should stop taking what the clingy person says seriously.
You haven’t said anything specific at all.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:36Yeahx1

I feel that in the early stages of 1, there is a bit of a sense of spinning my wheels while trying to create something new.
It becomes increasingly interesting around the third layer, where it starts to mature.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:36

In the old work, since you are the savior, get it together and don’t complain—looking back, it makes me think that we shouldn’t expect so much from children…
It’s probably because I’ve become an old man.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:37Yeahx1

>>46Well, since there’s no benefit for Wataru and he’s being brought here against his will, there is that kind of situation.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:37

Let’s watch both 1 and 2, and Granzo!

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:38

How about ramune?

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:39Yeahx2

Watch LyuKnight too.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:39

If you watch it with the solid series composition of “Souzouden,” I think a 4-cour adventure might get quite tedious.
Also, since “Creation Legend” has been quite Reiwa-ized, it might feel a bit like the bullying from the Showa era.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:39Yeahx1

At first, I thought it was just a creative YouTuber gag… I wasn’t expecting much from this… but
I feel like it gives off the atmosphere of the original even more than 2, rather than just being super.
I think the production staff really understands why the first generation was successful.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:40Yeahx2

The teasing of teachers has somehow turned into bullying, hasn’t it?
Moreover, Himiko is gradually losing her original form.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:43Yeahx1

>>55Ultra was at the peak of that vibe.
In any case, it feels good to use the teacher for a punchline at the end.
Thinking about it, I find that Sōzōden is easy to understand in many ways.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:45

>>63I think teasing the teacher is more intense here, for better or worse.
It’s true that the teacher is easygoing but knows when to be serious, so it’s easy to follow along.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:41

I’m watching the rerun of 2, and it’s interesting!
It’s a shame that the Space Dragon God Maru, who was so cool, doesn’t have any more appearances.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:42Yeahx1

>>56It’s a summer vacation promotion to get bought during Obon.
The name “Shinsei Ryujinmaru (Space Version)” is hard to remember.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:41

When I call, Sen-chan properly comes… there were times when she didn’t come, though…

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:41

>>57You shouldn’t have pushed yourself to come when you’re catching a cold…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:41Yeahx1

2 has become too symbolic in terms of teasing and character traits, leading to a vibe of “Shouldn’t we just do the same template every time?”
It’s simply that battles are continuously difficult, and winning through lucky punches or enemy self-destruction doesn’t feel very satisfying.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:42

In terms of broadcasting slots, watch Cyber Formula too!

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:42

It’s hard to call Aqua Beat in a way that isn’t better than Sen-chan.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:43

>>61It hasn’t come up even 10 times, including at the supermarket…

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:43

The comfort of compliance in the Reiwa era and the time taken until the broadcast has resulted in a well-crafted scenario, making me genuinely excited every week.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:44

I wonder if there were any merchandise like telephone cards of Sensen-chan at that time.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:46

>>66I don’t think there were any card-assist games either.
Was it attached as a bonus with the Plamax model from the other day?

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:44

I think both ROBOT Spirits and Nexedge are well-made, so it’s worth buying.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:45

The beginning of 2 was tough on the teacher, but it eventually settled down.
I haven’t seen it yet, but it seems like the reputation is bad…

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:47

>>68I was taken aback by the serious tactics stemming from the fall into evil…
The fact that that wicked tactic comes from Shibaraku-sensei’s brain means he might actually be good at military strategy too…?

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:47

>>68By the time I calm down, I’ve already withdrawn…

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:47

>>68There are various opinions, but it’s not that bad.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:48

>>79It’s probably just the extremely clingy person at the beginning of the thread changing their approach, so it’s fine to ignore them.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:49

>>79Well then, I’ll make my own judgment after I see it myself.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:45

There were many questionable jokes in works like “Souzouden,” “Niku-san,” and “10-Souman,” but it seems there are also quite a few borderline jokes in the old works…

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:47Yeahx1

>>71Both 10-Souman are safe because they are TV Tokyo series anime.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:48

>>71Mr. Chuta and Hossy were barely making it at that time.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:48

>>71I didn’t notice it when I saw it a long time ago, but there are quite a few movie parodies.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:46

The teacher usually jokes around and says “tohoho~,” but you should defeat the large boss!

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:46Yeahx2

I haven’t been watching for a while, but it seems really bad! There are some people who keep saying that, but are they still not giving up on being clingy?

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:47

The extremely poor reputation is more due to the hype from the digital animation era of the 90s, affecting the artwork from the first half and onwards.
I think it wasn’t good that they changed to that glossy and unmoving animation style.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:48

Since we packed in promotions for the guests in episode 2, it resulted in less opportunity for the teacher to shine (less teasing).
The teacher will disappear due to a fall into darkness by the time the promotions end.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:50

>>81After that, I’ll forgive them because they single-handedly defeated the Black Dragon Horn that the three Dragon Gods couldn’t take down!
It was surprisingly painful that everyone except Wataru and Himiko was cold.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:48

Teacher of 2
It’s a very sad scene thanks to Mayumi Tanaka’s performance, but it was more amusing to see the teacher floating in the air and sliding around, so it didn’t work for me.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:49

The divergence from episode 1 confused returning viewers.
The content was mainly centered around the tangled affairs of the enemy’s family, which may have been difficult for children to understand.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:49

It seems you need to see and confirm for yourself that the reputation is bad.
I understand the bad things that were said, but isn’t it interesting?

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:49

I really like the theme songs for 1 and 2.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:50

It’s definitely true that expecting something like a legendary creation, whether it’s an old work or a superb one, can feel redundant, so be careful.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:50

>>89It’s simply because there are twice as many episodes.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:50

There was one thing that I personally couldn’t accept at the time…
It’s not like everything is totally bad or anything like that.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:51

I often see threads about Wataru where people keep saying “super” over and over.
They don’t say at all what exactly is bad or where the problem lies, so I can’t understand why they are being antis.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:52

To be honest, both Super and 2 are annoying in their own ways, so just look for yourself and make a judgment.
If it doesn’t suit you, feel free to quit halfway; becoming an anti can be troublesome.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:52

Well, the part that might cause divided opinions is something that hasn’t been said much above…

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)18:52

Episode 2 of the first season is 45, and episode 46 is 51, so it’s nearly double that of the creation story.
