    Man, I already knew this was a dark show, but DAMN! Never expected THAT twist ending!
    A bit of neat trivia: P Productions was founded by mangaka Tomio Sagisu and his friend, animator Yoshio Watanabe, both of whom previously worked at Toho's special effects department in the 1940s.
    P Productions was originally formed as an animation studio, but the production of Ambassador Magma would mark the studio's shift into live-action productions, and it's through shows like Tiger Seven that Sagisu gets to show off his skills as an artist.

    Thank you for this awesome resume! Tiger Seven is one of my favorite shows since childhood: we managed to see quite a few P-Production series here in Italy (Spectreman, Kaiketsu Lion-maru, Zaborgar, Tiger Seven...) but the one that I loved the most were Lion-maru and Tiger seven. The latter was probably my favorite: it was so different, so dramatic, had some really horror-like atmosphere and often the outcome of the battle paired victory and loss. I really hope that we'll be able to have the full series in a more easy to approach version a.ka. with at least English subs like for the Toei Channel. This series really need more exposure, thank you for your video!

    Dude, I didn’t know Tiger Seven was dying in the end of the series. I watched the last episode in italian but I thought he was running away from the fight just because of the trauma for letting the kid die…

      In fairness, when I first saw the show a long time ago I had the same impression. That preceding episode was really dark after all. It took some research to figure out what was actually going on, which managed to add to an already tragic story!
