The Japanese version of Spiderman differs quite a bit from the western version, mostly in the plot. Takuya Yamashiro who is a motorcycle racer got his powers by encountering a guy who is from the planet Spider. The guy, Garia wants to avenge his planet because it got destroyed by an evil group called the Iron Cross Army. He gives Takuya “spider extract” which makes him gain powers. Takuya’s goal is to fight the Iron Cross Army because it was their fault that is father died and to fulfill Garia’s wish. Peter Parker is a high school student who went on a field trip to see spiders. While he was distracted, a genetically altered spider bit him causing him to gain powers. Peter Parker fights more humanized creatures who are threatening the city. Both spidermen have the same costume and string power, but the main difference is that Takuya is fighting for revenge and Peter is fighting to protect.

I would say that the graphics and costuming are the most interesting part of this show. Whenever the Iron Cross Army shows up its funny because they are toy looking robots. Its hard to take them seriously when they look so plasticity and childish. This show was made quite some time ago so the graphics are obviously not good, but they still could have made the villains scarier. Supaidaman’s costume is also funny because it looks poorly made. The fabric is very thin, his eyes are glittery, too high up and too small. Other than that, I would say that the other costumes look cool. I am a fan of Garia and Professor Monster’s outfits because they are detailed and relate to their character.

I would recommend this show to others if they are bored and looking for something interesting but funny to watch. This show is unintentionally funny because it is very outdated and overdramatic. It has a good number of episodes to get invested in without having too many to the point that people won’t want to watch it anymore. I think that it’s a perfect show to watch casually because its very simple to follow along and its hard to forget the plot.

I think that future generations would think that our media is cringy and overdramatic. I find that as the years go on, media becomes less dramatic and has a lack of flair. Serious themes are being introduced and consumed more often and I think this trend will keep on going into the future. Even if we think that our media today is amazing, future generations probably will disagree. This is a cycle that will keep on happening throughout humanity.
