The Kagestar (1976)

 

Here's another oddball Toei superhero series I never thought would be subtitled.  I really do appreciate fansub groups who put the hard work into these shows for us. Our heroes are not actually people, but shadows brought to life from their humans.  After the first episode things are a bit confusing, but perhaps that will be cleared up in the future.  That darn electrical accident is the catalyst for these powers to manifest themselves.  It's a fun twist for such things, as the humans fall nearly unconscious when the heroes appear.

I would like a little more explanation as to how this happens, but it won't be that important.  The action is quite good, and the heroes have capes of an appropriate length.  They are also part of their arsenal, so that helps.

I'm looking forward to more episodes.
