HALLOWEEN SPECIAL: Kyoryu Sentai Koseidon Episode 38

Happy Halloween!

I wanted to do some sort of holiday release, and why not an episode that has Frankenstein’s monster in it?

There’s a chance you may have heard of this show for the sole reason that it contains the words “kyoryu sentai” in its title. This show came out in 1978, a full 14 years before Zyuranger! If I had to come up with a premise for the show, it would be “What if the Science Patrol from Ultraman had a time machine?” Sadly, if you’re looking for a well-thought-out time travel story, turn back here. This show’s approach to the Butterfly Effect is “What’s a butterfly effect?” Turns out, staging huge alien battles in the Cretaceous Period does nothing to the present day. If you can get past that, then this show is awesome! Nothing else combines dinosaurs, robots, spaceships, and superheroes together like this. Interestingly enough, this is the one show in Tsuburaya’s Dinosaur Trilogy that isn’t half-animated. Also, the Koseidon ship prop in this show was repurposed as the Time Tansor in Tansor 5!

Speaking of anime and Tansor 5, huge props to GANGO for helping me with the translation on this episode! I’m glad to be working with them again on another special collab. On their end, we worked on Mashin Hero Wataru Episode 8: The Vampire Is A Crucifix Collector.
