Messenger of Allah

1960 · 1 season

A creaky, cheerful relic of early TV adventure, watched more for its quaint charm than for suspense or spectacle.

Overview: Messenger of Allah, known in Japan as Allah no Shisha, is a Japanese tokusatsu superhero TV series produced by Toei Company starring a young Sonny Chiba, at the time known as Shin'ichi Chiba. It was created by writer Yasunori Kawauchi, who was also responsible for creating Moonlight Mask and Seven Color Mask. The series ran from July 7, 1960 to December 27, 1960 on NET (now TV Asahi) for a total of 26 episodes. The film for the first episode is all that is known to have survived.
How it feels: Whimsical, earnest, campy and light. Brisk and fine in the background.
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
