Review of Zebraman (2004) by Niklas S — 03 Sep 2009
A rather funny story about a third-grade teacher who doesn't get any repsect from his students, peers, or his wife and children. He "escapes" by dressing up as Zebraman, a TV serial that existed during his childhood, at home when he alone.
The Zebraman series somewhat resembles are cornier Power Rangers-type super hero action show which lasted a total of seven episodes back in 1978. The teacher befriends a cripple kid in his cl;ass who shares his interest in the Zebraman series (the kid learned of it thanx to internet, downloads scripts and knows the dialogue).
The teacher ends up going out one night in his costume and ends up battling a villain. His alter-ego's notoriety increases and thusly his services are needed when an alien invasion starts in his town.
Really well scripted and the humor, while zany at times, was par for the course. Directed by Takashi Miike!
