Kinnikuman: Counterattack! Hidden Space Superman

About This Movie

So here we have 'Kinnikuman: Counterattack! Hidden Space Superman' from 1985, which is quite a curious piece of animation. The tone is this wild mix of humor and action, with a bit of that over-the-top anime flair. You've got these Underground Space Supermen, which honestly adds a bizarre layer to the Choujin Rugby game everyone’s glued to. The pacing? Well, it's a bit frenetic, typical of the era, jumping from one zany moment to the next. The practical effects are charmingly dated—there’s something about that classic animation style that feels both nostalgic and a little rough around the edges. Characters like Robin Mask bring a certain intensity, though, and the whole premise around the Robin Memo is just a fun twist on the classic superhero narrative.

Features the classic animation style of the mid-80s · Captures the essence of the Kinnikuman franchise · Interesting character dynamics and humor throughout
