So we have spent the last half a year watching the entire original series of "Sukeban Deka" ("Juvenile Delinquent Cop"), a Japanese children's television show from 1985, and now we've finished I am now ready to declare it the greatest piece of filmic media ever made
This is not a joke. It is the most amazing fusion of high camp and wildly unnecessary directorial competence I have ever seen. It is just going at 200% every moment right up until the end
Like, the problem with loving bad media is a lot of it is… you know, bad. But Sukeban Deka dares to ask the question, what if bad television… were good?
(Note: If you're looking into this and asking "wait, isn't this a lot like…?". Yes, Kill La Kill, that one subplot from 13 Sentinels, and probably a decent amount of other Japanese media made by people who were kids in the 80s, are all extended Sukeban Deka riffs)
