I recently started watching Patallio and Kotetsu Jeeg.

While I've always adored Patalliro, I've actually only seen a handful of episodes over the years. Since all but the last two episodes have been translated, I decided to start from the beginning again. I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion or not but I don't find Patalliro himself funny. Like his interactions with his royal court are insanely unfunny to me. But I love when he messes with Bancoran or Maraich! This show is also so shamelessly gay and horny, it blows my mind. I really appreciate the love Toei put into this one.

Kotetsu Jeeg is basically Cutie Honey if you took away the sex appeal and style. I'm not kidding. Before anyone blows up my inbox, yes, I am aware they're both Go Nagai creations. But still. The overall premise and format is very similar to Honey. The main villain, Queen Himika, looks exactly like Sister Jill. The villains are after a mysterious item hidden inside of the main character. There are also little bits and pieces recycled from other Go Nagai properties too. This isn't necessarily a bad thing though.

I'm about 12 episodes in and I dig it. I do absolutely hate Hiroshi's outfit and Jeeg itself has a really strange design. But the overall concept is cool! My biggest issue so far is that Hiroshi is extremely unlikable and there are some weird plot holes. Namely, it's unclear who does and doesn't know Hiroshi is Jeeg. Hiroshi has a rival named Don, who spends the first few episodes thinking Hiroshi might be Jeeg but so far hasn't figured it out yet. In one episode Don talks like he knows for sure (and Hiroshi even transforms in front of him) but then two episodes later he's clueless about Hiroshi's true identity. It's very weird.

I really like Miwa, who acts as Hiroshi's companion. She's pretty badass and is usually the one saving Hiroshi. I was worried this was gonna be another Sayaka situation but thankfully the misogyny is toned down in Jeeg. Excited to watch the rest of this.

I think it's incredibly funny the ending for kotetsu jeeg is the full uncut song and it makes the ed last nearly 3 minutes

(a few) Episode Interludes

As literally the only Shin Jeeg fan on this planet in modern times-both a exaggeration but also not-I try not to get upset about it because if there’s one thing I learned with Fandom is the smaller the better especially when it’s equates to a literal empty desert and fan content is purely self indulgent so having a fandom doesn’t matter-

But man if I ain’t gonna complain how Shin Jeeg designs go hard but I CANT FUCKING DRAW THEM 😭 Why couldn't there be at least one actual Jeeg artist maaaan.

Also consider this a Shin Jeeg design appreciation post.

of course I make my first jeeg art I decide to post on here a fucking shitpost 💀 I have never seen a single ep of Grendizer and only seen shin jeeg-hence the Kenji cameo Heh-but with people telling me Duke is a cowboy and Hiroshi LOOKS like a cowboy, I couldn’t resist.
