    A great Sentai!

    Liveman is a great show and easy to get into compared to Maskman (the previous Sentai). I recommended this to anyone starting to watch Super Sentai, particularly for teens/teenagers.

    Definitely my favorite Super Sentai

    It's one of the darkest Sentai with very likeable characters and a intriguing storyline. To me this Sentai is nearly identical to zoo Ranger or known as Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in America with the costumes which are pretty close yet have their own unique style to it but if you grew up watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers I would definitely recommend you check out this super Sentai it's definitely more serious and dark as it's themes are betrayal, revenge and life. Not to also mention the theme song is amazing. This is everything I want from a Super Sentai or Power Rangers series and it most certainly pass the test of time.

    Definitely the BEST Super Sentai of all time!

    I absolutely loved Chôjû sentai Raibuman as a kid, since I spent a lot of years in Japan, since my father was in the military, I am very familiar with Super Sentai, also known as Power Rangers in western countries.

    Chôjû sentai Raibuman also known as Liveman was a unique, one of a kind Super Sentai that combined great characters, special effects, and storytelling to create one of the best kid's shows of the 1980s! I had all of the toys of this great show when I was a teenager! I absolutely loved this show as a kid, but, it's now nearly impossible to find any episodes of this great show. Hopefully Bandai Japan will put out some DVDs of this and other great Super Sentais from the past 30 years! I now live in the United States, but I won't ever forget this great show! Go Liveman!

    A Sentai that makes you feel young.

    A group of young people are students of an advance science academy located on an island off coast of Japan that is made up of Japanese and other ethnic groups who all want to major in science and get to be on board a space station that's being plan to be launched from the academy. Three students however have betray the academy and went to work for Professor Bias a super genius who believes in no one but himself and looks upon Earth in his own space station. He orders the three renegade students to attack the Academy island. During the aftermath three students survived and use their new ranger suits to fight off their former friends. Along with the other threats that Bias has thrown upon them including an army of android soldiers called Jimmers and Brain Beasts. With the help of an android name Colon and a legion of Mechas to guide our young heroes, they will have what it takes to take down Bias and prevent him from taking over the world.

    This is a really fun Sentai series in which I enjoyed a lot. Like most of the previous ones this one had a cast of memorable characters including Colon possibly my first favorite robot from a Sentai series Alpha of Power Rangers has nothing on her that's for sure.

    If you like the previous ones then this one is a must cause it was known for being the 10th Anniversary Sentai Series.
