Gekiganger 3 - The Movie

1998 • 30 min • Japan

If you have watched Nadesico, you know what Gekiganger is. This is a great show to watch at a convention with a lot of people.

The first half is compilation of all the clips from Nadesico, while the second half is a new story. This show even has a cameo appearance from the Nadesico crew.
