Season 1, Episode 1
7/10
Defeat Gomess!
31 December 2019
A friend gave me the DVD collection of this show for Christmas. So I will watch every episode and review them. In this first episode, some workers are digging a tunnel when a kaiju is awoken. It looks like a repurposed Godzilla costume. A worker sees the kaiju, but the foreman doesn't believe him because the worker is an alcoholic. A tomboyish female reporter is sent to investigate the story, flown there by two helicopter pilots. At the sight of the tunnel, these three meet a nerdy bespectacled boy, who insists that the kaiju is Gomess, a legendary monster who can only be defeated by a bird monster named Litra. I shouldn't reveal any more of the plot than that. This episode plays out like a half hour kaiju movie, although the effects aren't as good as a feature film, given the budget for a half hour television show.
