Iron King

I've been watching the obscure Japanese series "Iron King" for the last however long it's been during my morning and evening exercises.

Gentaro has a weird way with women, hitting them, letting them be killed, putting them off, lying to them, etc. But he has one important mission, and that is protecting Japan against this endless procession of robots and terrorists. He can't be like Goro, his friend, a big softy ... except when he's the Iron King.

Yet for all of Gentaro's ambivalence in dealing with the opposite sex, they seemed drawn to him, much like they're drawn to Kramer, the lure of the wild, the kevorka.

Watching it tonight was nice, after the scam that American Idol is. It's good to have these shows where the good guy wins.
