The review of Mirrorman for overseas fans.
One day,Kyototaro saw a nightmare that Jumbo Phoenix fought a battle with Mirrorman and both of them exploded.It was unbelievable,but the invader announced it would not be dream but this would happen in the near future.
This episode No.34 & No.35 are the special ones, because they were televised during the summer holidays for school children. In summer holidays, TV program are more competitive to get the more audiences than usual days. What we have to watch in the programs is Mr.Kentaro Kudo’s exquisite performances, it is not exaggeration to say the two episodes exist for his performances. I suggest you watch him carefully and you will know how the actors in those days are enthusiastic. Mr.Syunya Wazaki also showsSamurai Spirits in cool ways, well supporting Kudo’s actions. The two actors took a great role in making this program - they are the Samurais of Mirrorman !
３４、３５話は特別番組である。子供の夏休み向け番組であり、当時夏休み時はテレビ番組は通常の日々よりさらに競争が激しかったのである。この番組でみるべきところは工藤堅太郎氏の絶妙な演技である。この2本立ては工藤氏のために作られたといっても過言ではない。工藤氏の演技を注意深く見ると当時の俳優陣がどれだけ熱心だったかがわかるだろう。和崎俊哉氏もクールに侍の心を演じており、工藤氏をうまくサポートしている。この二人の俳優がこの番組の制作に大変な役割を演じている。つまりミラーマンの侍と言っても良いと思える。
