Synopsis

Hishou, Ginga, Ace, Hayate, and Ikazuchi all work at a studio doing various idol-related jobs at the request of their manager, Reiko. But in reality, these five teenagers are really the Reideens, a group of superheroes who fight the Super Devils sent by Lushu, a mysterious being. Little do the Reideens know, these Super Devils are being sent for a more important purpose... (Source: ANN)

Audience Consensus

The show starts with a promising concept and appealing character designs, but ultimately fails to deliver a coherent and engaging narrative. The first part follows a monster-of-the-week format, but the plot becomes disjointed and illogical in the later episodes. Characters lack depth and development, leading to a sense of detachment from the story.

Strengths

  • Good character designs
  • Decent base story

Weaknesses

  • Basic protagonists with little backstory
  • Irrelevant plot developments
  • Chaotic and incoherent story after episode 28
  • Poorly developed supporting characters
  • Battles with random monsters
  • Unsatisfying final battle with plot inconsistencies
