Ginormo (2023)
9/10
A Neat Show That Is A Parody And Tribute To Classic Tokusatsu Shows
10 August 2023
Ginormo is a series on Stephen He's YouTube channel that serves as both a parody and a tribute to classic Japanese superhero shows like Ultraman as well as monsters movies like Godzilla.

Presented as a show Stephen He found that his Grandpa Bruce made back in the 1970's, but was so bad, it was cancelled before it can even air its first episode, Ginormo is set in Tokyo, as the land of the rising sun is under attack from the evil Beast Attack Artillery Division (or BAAD for short), led by Lord Metagon (played by Alan Chow). To protect the city and the world, the Super Protection Force (or SPF for short) build a super robot, Ginormo.

Yeah, this is a neat comedy series on YouTube. A parody as well as a tribute, Ginormo takes great effort to look like it was filmed in the 1970's, a time before CGI animation took over. Therefore, the series has rubber monster suits, toy vehicles and flimsy bulding props, and other low budget effects that were present in Japanese superhero, mecha, and monster shows and movie of the decade. But what sets this apart is that it is also a parody, as it has its fair share of nonsense and funny moments that seem to come out of nowhere. Plus, the actors are all good, being all APII.
