this is a fun Japanese cartoon in three parts. Iczer-1 is protecting
the Earth from the incursion of Cthulu, led by the machine-being Big
Gold. to stop them completely, she must synchronize with Nagisa, an
Earthling. Nagisa has lost her parents because Cthulu beings possess
them, so she's whiny and doesn't want to fight.

a fun movie, if a little gorey and lots of cartoon female nekkidity,
which isn't too over the top- they look like normal girls.

some fans have said it's an homage to tokusatsu shows, and i can see
that. it would have been fun to see as live action. i sure do like the way older cartoons look, though you can see what direction they were going to take by watching this one.

theme song? not so great.
