awesome series

Warning: Spoilers
Awesome series, was used in 1994's VR troopers in the second season. Dai/Shaider was played by Eiji Tsuburaya's son Hiroshi, who died unfortunately young at 37 of liver cancer. The special effects are really good for the time, utilizing early CGI like the stuff seen in Tron. The suits look great, and the camera-work is daring, especially in aerial battle scenes. By the way, the models used for the dogfighting scenes have a real sense of size to them. The theme song by Akira Kushida rocks, and is a really great way to get pumped up for the show. The show revolves around a Space Sheriff codenamed Shaider who is sent to earth with his lovely sidekick Annie. They have to stop the activities of an evil cult called Fuuma. I won't spoil any more.
Just see it!!!
