00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.399
Govon Infinity Episode 1 shows promise. I think

00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:07.700
it's a very promising start. The best thing about

00:00:07.700 --> 00:00:10.900
it is definitely Reiji. He is a charismatic character,

00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:15.039
and he's got a lot of draw to him, both in his

00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:18.359
performance and in the action. Well, both in

00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:20.079
his emotional performance and in the action performance.

00:00:20.379 --> 00:00:22.339
I'm sure there's a stunning actor in there somewhere.

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:26.559
If it's not, then that's amazing. But he's, uh...

00:00:26.969 --> 00:00:28.910
He's really a compelling character. He's really

00:00:28.910 --> 00:00:31.929
interesting to watch. I love his emotional...

00:00:31.929 --> 00:00:35.429
I don't know, center or emotional positioning.

00:00:35.969 --> 00:00:39.270
And I know the Emor gear are the whole thing,

00:00:39.310 --> 00:00:41.689
so emotion's like a big deal in the show. But

00:00:41.689 --> 00:00:46.750
beyond that, just the emotional punch he delivers

00:00:46.750 --> 00:00:49.429
is really compelling and really interesting.

00:00:49.469 --> 00:00:54.429
I think it really elevated the episode. Probably

00:00:54.429 --> 00:00:59.740
the... The biggest thing that makes me pull back

00:00:59.740 --> 00:01:02.560
or shy away from the show is just how complicated

00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.180
it is. There's times where they're explaining

00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:08.480
the multiverse stuff to the audience and they

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.859
like break the fourth wall kind of to do that,

00:01:10.939 --> 00:01:14.719
to help them do that. And I don't know, it just

00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:16.640
feels like a lot. It feels like a lot. And I

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.420
was thinking, this is a lot to keep track of.

00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.319
This is a lot to manage. This is a lot to write.

00:01:20.579 --> 00:01:24.079
A lot of structure to... to do. You've got a

00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:26.200
lot of moving parts. There's the Emmergears,

00:01:26.340 --> 00:01:28.840
which apparently are semi -sentient, at least.

00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:32.620
They go into these guns that enabled them to

00:01:32.620 --> 00:01:35.060
transform that I think are going to turn out

00:01:35.060 --> 00:01:41.280
to be their ships slash mecha as well. And at

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:47.420
least one guy has his fancy little badge, but

00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:48.799
it's not just a badge, it's a badge that opens

00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:52.760
up and Then he transforms into the suit later

00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:54.739
on. And it's just, it feels like a lot. It's

00:01:54.739 --> 00:01:57.060
a lot to take in. And on top of that, there's

00:01:57.060 --> 00:02:00.200
not just one guy like that. There's three. And

00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.040
on top of that, there's a whole multiverse. And

00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:03.939
the episode starts off, I can't tell if this

00:02:03.939 --> 00:02:08.080
is the thing where they're showing this like

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.319
big climactic battle type thing with five big

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.240
ships facing off against something to protect

00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:18.360
the Cosmosphere from Maku invasion or whatever.

00:02:18.939 --> 00:02:21.080
I can't tell if that's towards the end of the

00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.319
series or if that is supposed to be happening

00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.460
already or if that's just a, this could happen.

00:02:25.539 --> 00:02:28.300
It's a for instance. I don't know. And it's a

00:02:28.300 --> 00:02:31.800
little confusing and a little frustrating because

00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.379
there's just so much going on. And none of that

00:02:35.379 --> 00:02:38.199
external stuff, none of the big overarching stuff

00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:41.479
is really important right now. And none of it

00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:44.379
was teased in a way that was really super compelling

00:02:44.379 --> 00:02:46.340
to me because it just seemed like there's going

00:02:46.340 --> 00:02:50.770
to be lots of track. But Reiji, his performance

00:02:50.770 --> 00:02:56.090
just really sold me, especially throughout the

00:02:56.090 --> 00:02:57.370
episode, but especially at the end when he's

00:02:57.370 --> 00:02:59.430
doing this fight and this monologue thing where

00:02:59.430 --> 00:03:02.490
he's explaining to the guy who was the seed or

00:03:02.490 --> 00:03:04.650
the germ, whatever, for this monster to come

00:03:04.650 --> 00:03:06.030
out of him, which I assume is a Maku monster,

00:03:06.150 --> 00:03:07.610
but I don't really know because we haven't gotten

00:03:07.610 --> 00:03:10.210
into it enough. It was really moving. It was

00:03:10.210 --> 00:03:12.189
really powerful. It was very effective and I

00:03:12.189 --> 00:03:15.729
really enjoyed it. Something else I really enjoyed

00:03:15.729 --> 00:03:19.330
was the very Jackie Chan -like fighting that

00:03:19.330 --> 00:03:24.250
he did. Ray G was jumping around. He's in this

00:03:24.250 --> 00:03:26.689
huge fight against this big gang of guys. And

00:03:26.689 --> 00:03:31.030
with his wits, he overcomes. Well, with his wits

00:03:31.030 --> 00:03:37.069
and very finely tuned fighting ability, he's

00:03:37.069 --> 00:03:39.409
able to come through this fight. And it's really

00:03:39.409 --> 00:03:41.610
cool. It was really enjoyable to watch. And it

00:03:41.610 --> 00:03:45.280
was a fun fight. I would like to see more fights

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.199
like that and less transformed fights, honestly.

00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.000
If we're going to be doing things differently

00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:54.460
in the show, that'd be great. Yeah, so anyway,

00:03:54.620 --> 00:03:59.960
the action was really good. Oh, also there's

00:03:59.960 --> 00:04:02.699
another concept, which is that this Earth, or

00:04:02.699 --> 00:04:06.219
maybe all of the Earths, because it's a multiverse,

00:04:06.300 --> 00:04:10.639
have aliens living among them, and they're fairly

00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:12.780
well integrated into society, except there are...

00:04:13.420 --> 00:04:16.199
gangs of bad aliens as well, which I don't know

00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.139
why. Do they include humans or not include humans?

00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:26.279
I don't know. It's unclear. Whatever. But that's

00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:27.959
another element, just to stack on top of everything.

00:04:28.300 --> 00:04:29.759
And then apparently they have the technology

00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:31.839
to make androids that are very lifelike and human

00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.439
-like, which makes sense if they had got trans

00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:39.410
-dimensional... and transportation in giant spaceships.

00:04:39.410 --> 00:04:41.490
And if a little spaceship can take off from Earth

00:04:41.490 --> 00:04:43.350
and get into space within seconds, then yeah,

00:04:43.410 --> 00:04:46.470
it's all possible. So that's fine. It's just,

00:04:46.490 --> 00:04:49.370
it's a lot to take in. But Ray G is a great emotional

00:04:49.370 --> 00:04:52.009
anchor and a great emotional core to the show

00:04:52.009 --> 00:04:54.189
and a great human core, a great human face to

00:04:54.189 --> 00:04:57.889
really like make you like the super space sheriffs.

00:04:58.129 --> 00:05:01.329
And to, at least for me, it got buy -in for me.

00:05:01.389 --> 00:05:03.149
Like I like this idea. I like what's going on.

00:05:03.230 --> 00:05:05.269
I like what I'm seeing here. And I'd like to

00:05:05.269 --> 00:05:07.160
see more of it. I find it very interesting that

00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:11.279
the promotional material was published in the

00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:12.819
United States, in English -speaking countries.

00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.100
I don't know where else, because I don't use

00:05:15.100 --> 00:05:18.720
VPNs to go to England or Australia or anything

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.040
like that to see if stuff works over there. I

00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:22.839
don't really care. Sorry. I don't think about

00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:28.740
you at all. And yet, despite the fact that there

00:05:28.740 --> 00:05:31.939
was this U .S.-Western -American push and release

00:05:31.939 --> 00:05:35.360
of the promo material for Project Red, There's

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.019
no word on an official release yet. Zets is doing

00:05:38.019 --> 00:05:41.240
it. Zets is doing it very successfully. Ultraman's

00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:45.360
been doing it for a while. And here, there's

00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.199
nothing happening for this new show, which is

00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:49.959
kind of interesting. I wonder why they're doing

00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:53.060
that. And I'm just hoping they're doing it because

00:05:53.060 --> 00:05:55.720
there's going to be a dub either on YouTube or

00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:57.300
on Crunchyroll or something like that so I can

00:05:57.300 --> 00:06:00.860
watch it. And Toei is working with, you know,

00:06:00.860 --> 00:06:02.560
they've got a bunch of anime stuff on Crunchyroll,

00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:08.870
so why not? Yeah. Anyway, that's my thoughts

00:06:08.870 --> 00:06:11.829
on it. It seems like a lot, but it also seems

00:06:11.829 --> 00:06:14.050
very promising, especially when you strip away

00:06:14.050 --> 00:06:16.810
all the crazy stuff and you just focus on Reiji,

00:06:17.009 --> 00:06:22.089
this really interesting lead character. Tell

00:06:22.089 --> 00:06:24.029
me what you thought about the first episode of

00:06:24.029 --> 00:06:28.149
Super Space Sheriff Kavan Infinity Project Red,

00:06:28.290 --> 00:06:31.990
episode one. I'd be really curious to see what

00:06:31.990 --> 00:06:33.949
you thought about it. If you agree that Reiji

00:06:33.949 --> 00:06:35.550
makes for this really great emotional anchor

00:06:35.550 --> 00:06:41.680
for the show. and what you hope to see from this

00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.000
show. I'd like to know that, too. Because I'd

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:45.399
like to see a lot more of these untransformed

00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.079
fights. And I almost want, since this first episode

00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.860
was about Reiji, and we got introduced to the

00:06:51.860 --> 00:06:55.620
Bushido guy in this episode, I'd like to see

00:06:55.620 --> 00:06:57.240
the next episode be about him, and then the third

00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.060
episode be about the pair of girls, and then

00:06:59.060 --> 00:07:01.639
for it to rotate. I think that'd be super cool.

00:07:02.980 --> 00:07:05.279
Will they do it? I don't know. I don't know.

00:07:05.930 --> 00:07:07.449
Until next time, folks, this is MJ with Henshin

00:07:07.449 --> 00:07:09.709
Inspection and Henshin Reflection signing out.

00:07:10.110 --> 00:07:12.649
Oh, check the pinned comment for my playlist

00:07:12.649 --> 00:07:15.730

00:07:15.730 --> 00:07:16.029
all there.
