4.0 out of 5 stars The funniest anime i have ever seen, October 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Shinesman (DVD)

I saw shinesman about a year ago on a whim and discovered it was hilarious. It is a parody of any power rangers type show and will have you laughing the entire time. Unfourtounatly there are only two episodes and it leaves you begging for more. The english dub amazingly is even funnier than the japansese sub. This is a great show for anyone who wants a laugh.

5.0 out of 5 stars ROTFLMAO!, November 14, 2004

This review is from: Shinesman (DVD)

This DVD is a hilarious send-up of the Power-Rangers superhero genre. The plot includes the classic "Evil Forces from another world want to take over Earth", and includes the typical (mostly) incompetent royal leader, the more-competent aide, and of course the cute/naive villaness. On the good side, we have five (of course) people in combat-power suits, color-coded.

Of course, the colors the heroes have chosen are unusual, and a recurring joke throughout the episodes. There is a lot of humor for adults ("I can't die! I have a date with..."), but absolutely nothing objectionable for youngsters.

The production quality of this DVD is also sound, and the dubbing works fine. I'm frankly surprised that Cartoon Network hasn't shown this. The ONLY downside to this DVD is that its too short. Only two episodes are available; I doubt more were made by the animators (sigh...)

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the funniest things I've seen in a while, April 16, 1999

This review is from: Shinesman [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Shinesman is a parody of Power Rangers and similar shows. It has the typical team of superheroes keeping the planet safe by fighting monsters sent by the bad guys, but you really start to get a feel for just how silly it is when they introduce themselves: "Shinesman Red!" "Shinesman Moss Green!" "Shinesman Gray!" "Shinesman Sepia!" and "Shinesman Salmon Pink!" How can you NOT like a show with lines like "I can't die now, I have to give my daughter a stuffed fish!" It's really too bad there aren't any more episodes.
