And the reason for it being that it's the only episode when we fans of Yuka Hirata can finally hear her voicing a character for more than two minutes, meaning that she voices the main protagonist Minai and she does it adequately considering that she isn't a professional seiyuu and that this was her first role in an anime. The only thing I sincerely don't understand is why the hell the guys of Madhouse even bothered putting her in this series in the first place. She was hot on the heels thanks to her appareance in Gekiranger in the previous year and ALL they envisioned for her was this DVD-only episode and two lines of dialogue in the first (completely disposable, personal appreciation for naked/barely clothed chicks with big guns or not) Corpse Princess series? Really? Talk about a complete waste of her and her fans' time! Watch this if you're a fan of her like me and don't bother with the main series stuff (both iterations), it's totally worthless.

Exactly, this might not be put under the Space Sheriff label but truth is that the Space SheriffMetal Heroes vibes are stronger than ever in this very good and enjoyable tokusatsu show, vibes that are confirmed once you get to know the fact that Ken's suit actor also worked in Space Sheriff Sharivan (thank you Big Nova subs for the info and the subbing work) and the writer of some of these episodes (Noboru Sugimura of Zyuranger fame) worked in several Metal Heroes shows. Cool suits, cool action, cool special effect, cool props, stuff behind the surface that again reminds me of the works of Toshiki Inoue just on a prototype level (the stuff about loans and money, the tentative love triangle between the two Bycrossers), highly recommended if you're into other Metal Heroes and the four mainline space sheriffs.

Exactly, this movie has no point whatsoever to exist except getting you to know the names of the gravure idols behind Lao Fan (Mayumi Ono) and General Miranda (Yan Yinling, I put them here so you can avoid watching this and you can directly search for their lingerie outfits online instead) and giving the last screentime to the veteran Masashi Ishibashi of JAKQ/Battle Fever J fame. All things completely wasted because this elongated episode, like most of the elongated episodes of tokusatsus sold as full on movies due to the insane japanese fetish for movies made out of series that don't need them in the first place, doesn't present anything particularly interesting that you haven't seen in the main series except for the three people I mentioned. It also makes clear that its main writer Naruhisa Arakawa has a peculiar obsession for hardcore detective and investigative stuff mutuated from the Hong Kong movies, the same obsession that nonsensically bogged down Kamen Rider Kuuga and that I have no idea how wasn't displayed in Abaranger (I guess because of a mandate by Toei to produce a Dynosaur-themed Sentai?). Other than that, it's just an useless waste of everybody's time that I don't recommend one bit. Check Mayumi Ono and Yan Yinling's sexy outfits for yourself and Ishibashi's appearances/roles in other toku series and don't bother one bit with this.
