[Hide] (88.9KB, 276x400) Reverse A group of losers wind up having to find, and prove themselves worthy, of their nuts as an interplanetary war breaks out.
Longer answer, while apparently derided back in the day as a Star Wars ripoff, at least when it came overseas (1978 Japanese airing), and it did unquestionably, intentionally take some inspiration there, it felt to me just as much like a goofy, pulpy sci-fi take on something like The Hakkenden, with the holy seeds seeking out eight chosen warriors to defeat evil, not all of which being versed in combat. Honestly had more fun with it than I was expecting to. Just keep expectations tempered that it only had about half the budget the first Star Wars did (and even then, it was still the most expensive movie made by Japan for a couple years) and that Japan didn’t have the same experience the west did, in Star Wars not being available to them yet.
