When Hiroya Matsumoto joined the Right Trading Company, he never thought he'd
be anything more than a regular employee. But as it goes, he became the fifth
member of a superhero team called the Shinesman.
The Shinesman's mission is to defend the Earth against enemies from the Planet
Voice. But amidst all this, Hiroya also has to look after his little brother,
make a living, and do his superhero jobs clad in lame suits and equipped with
equally lame weapons such as business cards! Can the Shinesman succeed?
Review: Special Duty Combat Unit Shinesman
I absolutely loved Shinesman... and I watched it dubbed too! Being a fan of
subtitled anime, I was a little skeptical when I came across reviews that told
me to get Shinesman's dubbed version. So I did... and I could just tell from
the opening that I wasn't going to regret it.
Basically a Power Rangers spoof, Shinesman will tickle your funny bone
endlessly. At some points, I was on the floor, rolling around in laughter. I
showed it to my friend, who was also a bit doubtful like me
(yet another supporter of subtitled anime). She loved it too! The
dubbing was just phenomenal! The dub voices fit the characters to a T, plus
the mouths and the words were synchronized perfectly.
Although characterization wasn't in-depth, it succeeded in developing the
characters' personalities sufficiently. The art and animation are also done
very well.
The only thing I didn't like was the ending -- I was left with a blank screen
that said "There has to be more!". Yet even though the conclusion
leaves something else to be desired, this would still be a wonderful addition
to anyone's anime collection.
