Dokkoida
Suzuo Sakurazaki just moved into the big city from the countryside, but has had no luck in getting a job. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Federation Police (GFP) is in desperate need of cleaning up their flawed reputation and a toy company representative named Tanpopo needs someone to fit into her prototype power suit to win a mass-production contract with the GFP. At the last minute, Tanpopo recruits Suzuo to become the diaper-clad superhero Dokkoida in exchange for a place to stay. However, in order to keep his room, Suzuo must keep his identity a secret above all else; especially since his new rivals and some intergalactic criminals live in the same apartment building.

Two large galactic toy companies (you heard me) are bidding for the contract for the next generation law-enforcement powersuit, and the tests are being conducted on Earth. Representatives from both companies have gone incognito and recruited a volunteer to wear and test the suits' performances against Class A galactic criminals who've been promised reductions in their sentences in exchange for their 'help'. The hook for the story is the fact that to save project money, the criminals and good guys have all been put in the same boarding house, and except for a few moments of suspicion when everybody gets introduced to each other, nobody discovers the secret identities of the others- even when they're all called away at the same time for suspicious reasons- and they begin to bond the way that people sharing the same residence usually do. Dokkoida's powersuit looks like a diaper-wearing robot, and Neuroloid Girl's is your standard skimpy bikini powersuit. Episode 8 lampoons the Japanese fascination with brother-sister relationships in ren-ai/dating games, and had me laughing almost non-stop. |
