[Perevodildo] Magical★Taruruuto-kun TV (1990) - 01-05

Okay, some more afterthoughts are up:
• Harako Tsutomu's name together is genshinryoku - atomic energy/nuclear power/electricity, but if you read it kun-, goes "hara ko tsutomu" and literally means "elementary matter's child" or, if you twist your brain really hard, something like "empowered with atoms" - gotta somehow keep all that in mind when he is first introduced, unless you're a bogus weeb: an influential scion of a nuclear power conglomerate - Harako Tsutomu - both in name and in calling
• Ijigawa Rui's name together means malicious/bullying - keep that in mind then there's an episode titled "I am Ijigawarui"
• Taruruuto's catchphrase shout when shapeshifting (or doing anything, basically, if he feels like it) is a parody of that of ultraman, but who even watched that shite, amrite? In other words, I didn't bother couldn't figure out a way to write in a parody of ultraman transformation shout(╬▔皿▔)╯
• One of Taru's devices also from ep5 is called H-Looking Magical Goggles (no I'm not making this up: ) and as we know, the letter H has been notoriously coined in japanese for things not the most becoming. Intuition tells me this is some oblique reference, too, but after jackhammering my head for 5 hours straight, I couldn't come up neither with explanation to why they are called so, nor with a good way to convey this pun into english well enough, along with all its nuances
Notes for ep1 still bear relevance as well, in case you didn't see them. Episode 1 is v2'd here.

Renascent raws are still visually impeccable, yet they keep taunting me with occasional inexplicable keyframe-bleeding, that I can rely but on my own eyes to track down. As a result, I spend even more time making precise timings for series nobody cares for in the first place. Well, isn't that just wonderful.
