The sole female member of the Bird Fighters, Mio of the White Crane, misses a high kick against Spacer combatant Suzuki's suicide charge. In that moment, her underwear is exposed, and Mio blushes with shame. However, Suzuki inexplicably gains power and corners Mio. He devours her beautiful body, but his assumption that Mio's underwear was a panty was a huge mistake. In fact, Mio was wearing an ansco. Realizing this, Suzuki instantly loses his strength, and Mio delivers a bomb shuriken for a dramatic comeback victory.
Another day, while showering, Mio receives word of a Spacer sortie and rushes out, forgetting to put on her ansco. By the time she notices, it's too late. During the battle, Suzuki sees Mio's panty flash and gains power again. Mio transforms into a Bird Fighter, but since the ansco is equipment that, unlike the suit, isn't teleported, her only underwear is a panty. Mio is in big trouble due to her regrettable ansco oversight! What will become of the battle? Viewers hold their breath at this turn of events.
Worst taste! Umi Oikawa is completely innocent. The problem is that costume. What kind of sense does the person who designed it have? Who would enjoy seeing "Swan Jun" fighting in that outfit? I understand why Kazuko Sugiyama would want to quit voice acting. And what is "White Crane Mio"? I don't know, is that the name of a sake?
In the original "Gatchaman" Jun's costume, the "swan" design is beautifully felt. As expected from Ippei Kuri. It's presumptuous to compare, but "Crane"? Where is the crane image in that costume? If I had to say, maybe the "eye" drawn on the helmet? Whether it's "Jun" or "Luna" from "Casshan", the miniskirt is the charm point, so what is that front flap?
The key to this work is the underskirt peeking out, but the design interferes with that—what's that about? Jun fights without wearing an underskirt or stockings. I want to say fight without wearing Eclipse, Aurora, or Fontaine either. Sorry for the collateral damage. I guess they think it's a waste for just one work, but that costume was used in another work too. Repent. Show some pride as a creator.
The only relief is that in the battle scenes in civilian clothes, we get to see plenty of Umi's underwear. There's also a scene where Umi, who rushed out forgetting to put on her underskirt, has both legs grabbed by two combatants and spread wide open. That can't possibly happen, though.
I sincerely hope GIGA will create works that cater to what viewers want. Huh? They are doing that? I'm the only one complaining? Is that so...
