I happened to catch this OVA a couple of times this past summer on Encore WAM (who've also occasionally aired the mediocre "10 Tokyo Warriors" OVA) and it's pretty funny. It didn't dawn on me until I looked it up that the dub for the OVA was ad-libbed for the most part. I was wondering though, was there ever an OST or singles release for this OVA? The OP/ED are pretty damn awesome and the instrumental during the transformation sequences (as cheesy as it is) is great as well. Hironobu Kageyama FTW!

The video quality for this OVA was WAY too inadequate though. It's so VHS. Definitely reeks of low-budget, late '90's dub project. And unfortunately the OVA is too damn short and blatantly leaves too many plotholes. As bad as any anime may be, I'd like some closure in them.

That OVA cracked me up.

"How can they be the good guys, they wear such dull colors?"

It was indeed interesting...........a parody dub of an OVA that was already a parody of Sentai to begin with. The music was great though, and I'm attempting to search everywhere to see if there was an OST release of any kind.

Shiina was hot. Facially she looks a lot like Kaname Chidori except with the obvious different haircolor and style.........or maybe the art direction was meant to be as generic as possible.

"BUSINESS CARD CUTTER!"

"Shiina, get in the green glowing square."

I like watching the OVA from time to time, the dub is funny when you listen to what the characters are saying.

Don't doubt the mighty color of scepia.:D

Shinesman convinced me that Media Blasters could produce quality dubs if they just acquired more acceptable titles.
