About Fight!! Iczer-1

If you are hunting for a new action series, Fight!! Iczer-1 (Tatakae!! Iczer-1) deserves a look (1985). The setup goes like this. In short: Nagisa is a schoolgirl with schoolgirl tendencies, waking up late, rushing off to school and meeting up with allies upon the way. One morning Nagisa comes across a woman dressed in a strange uniform who seems to stare at her, unnerving Nagisa.

From there, later that day, whilst staring out the window, Nagisa turns into aware of a ball bouncing by itself which flings itself towards her window seat, shattering the glass yet not harming her... Turning back to the front she stumbles on a gaping mouth bristling with teeth inches from her face and no-one else about. She screams and the realm returns to normal with her standing and the centre of curiosity of her class... why did she scream?

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
