Robot Detective K

 

From Wiki- Robot Detective (ロボット刑事, Robotto Keiji) is a tokusatsu superhero TV series. Created by Shotaro Ishinomori, the series was produced by Toei Company Ltd., and broadcast on Fuji TV from April 5 to September 27, 1973, with a total of 26 episodes.[1] It stars Jirō Chiba.[2] The hero of this series is a robot named "Robot Detective K" (or just "K"), who has no human form, but when not in battle, dresses up in human clothes and has a human-like personality. The main antagonist is BAD (バドー, Badō, pronounced Bah-doh).  Along with Android Kikaider Robot Detective was one of the early predecessors to what would become the Metal Hero Series of programs featuring human-sized cyborg heroes. Back to me:

Yes, this is the next live action show we will be reviewing on the podcast.  I really like the show, and wish it had been a bit more successful.  I am grateful all 26 episodes have been subtitled as well.  Makes it a lot better, though the plot is pretty easy to grasp.  K is ever so stylish, though!
