Also on Phil Todd's (mr Ashtray Navigations) 'Betly Welcomes Careful drivers' label, one can find plenty of obscure Japnoise.A fine example being Akihiro Shimizu, otherwise known as 'Thirdorgan'.
If you had any paint left to strip from your walls, this should finish it off for you.
Mirrorman,FYI, is one of those Japanese super-heroes frequently seen saving Tokyo from some deranged monster.Check picture above.
So if you think the Japanese aren't weird???Check out Mirrorman in action against something called Darkron (click Here)...or is that Dark Ron? Dark Ron describes one of my dodgier uncles exactly.
Oh yeah!....This tape was Part of the 'Are You Sane Enough To Drive?' series.

Beyond awesome. Thanks to the Japanese strict societal structure of conformity and rule-following we get lunacy like this from those who let out all that repressed individuality.
Spectreman was my guy. In real life he was "George" who worked for the Tokyo Pollution Control agency. Nobody seemed to equate that when their city was under siege from another gigantic creature (including a jet-powered terrapin) and Spectreman showed up, George was nowhere to be found. Well, his female love interest (never consummated of course, PDAs being frowned upon in their culture) was kind of onto it, but he never divulged.
In one particularly memorable episode a Godzilla-like creature was sent running back into the ocean where it proceed to leap, tuck its knees and perform a cannonball into the sea. That's right kids, a cannonball. If you're going to live to battle Spectreman again, you might as well have a little fun in the process.
We need Spectreman now to save us from the pollution monsters of China and the USA.....my favourite Spectreman episode is the 'Terror of the Blue Scum'....which i like to think refers to the UK Conservative Party.
