The no-holds-barred nuttiness of this sci-fi parody will appeal to fans of Animation Runner Kurumi and Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi. A well-meaning country boy who's come to the city to attend college, Suzuo desperately needs a job. Tanpopo recruits him to wear Toys of the World's new transformer belt, which he assumes is just a game promotion. But when a mad scientist's giant mechanical termite attacks, Suzuo has to use the belt to become mecha-suited Dokkoida and fight it--at the same time as Neruloid Girl from the rival Emerald Company. (Suzuo's battle cry is "For the good of humanity--and rent money!") The Galaxy Police Force is sending bizarre criminals to Earth (in pop-top capsules) so they can evaluate the latest transforming suits. The test crews and villains all move into the Cosmos House Apartments under aliases, complicating matters even further. (Rated 13 and older: cartoon violence, risqué humor, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably overlooked..., April 1, 2009

By 

Subzero Parade (CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dokkoida - Ultra Diaper Man (Vol. 1) (DVD)

This show probably didn't sell well due to lack of reviews and the title name which has the word "diaper" in it. What a shame since it's one of the best comedies I've ever seen. people say comedies are either hit or miss, well this one is definitely a SMASH hit in my book. Watch it in original Japanese though since I personally found the voice a lot suitable and the fast paced dialogues more properly delivered that enhance the humor.

story begins with a young girl working for a toy company that designed a power suit which you can see in the cover art, yes it's the blue suit with a diaper of all things. There's a power suit competition going on and in order for her suit design to be selected as the superior one, this girl flies to earth in search of a suitable subject who's willing to wear it to combat intergalactic criminals, each having a unique personality i should add. well stuff happens and you laugh at the TV.

artwork and animation is surprisingly good, not AMAZING but more than enough for this kind of shows. my only gripe with this show is that towards the end it takes itself a tad too seriously for its own good, but the ending more than makes up for it. anyway since it's out of production now i suggest buying it while it's reasonably cheap and have a good time with it.
