What an awful, awful episode. Like some others from
the mid-season, this story focuses mainly on one
Gransazer, which this time is Taippei Mikami and
his job at Sea World. For this particular episode,
guest writer Tsutomu Kamishiro was brought in, who
is probably most famous for his work on Appleseed
(2004). Unfortunately, Kamishiro’s idea of
basing an alien attack around dolphins ends up being
ludicrous at best and is easily one of the least
enjoyable entries in the show, only out done by
the stock footage fest that was Episode
25. The writing here is generally sloppy as
well, with no proper explanation given for why the
young girl Mayu has some sort of immunity to the
Dolphin’s sonic attacks. At first the viewer
assumes that she is perhaps deaf, which is why she
is left unscathed, but this proves to be an incorrect
assumption by the episode’s end and makes
this aspect even more confusing. This episode also
leads to some unintentional laughs as well, as it’s
pretty hard to keep a straight face when the military
begins to discuss how they may be forced to use
Youhi to destroy nearby aquariums. Thankfully, this
one-shoter has zero importance to the rest of the
series, and is best left skipped over as in its
present state it seems more like Mystery Science
Theater 3000 fodder than something to sit through
and enjoy. |
