Awesome Music: The opening theme.
Narm Charm
So Bad It's Good
Special Effect Failure: Many, many ways. How do they show Spider-Man clinging to walls, for instance? By having him jump at the wall and freeze the frame when he's touching it.
- The second version of Leopardon's Transformation Sequence actually has one segment played backwards, showing the panels on what become its legs splaying out instead of folding in.
They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: In one episode, Spider-Man has to give a kid a blood transfusion. The kid does not gain spider-powers.
What Do You Mean It's for Kids?: While it does work almost note-for-note like a typical Super Sentai series, Japanese Spider-Man contains some rather impressive violence for its time. There's blatant murder in the show (see Crying Wolf on the main page), shots of civilians being killed on-screen are commonplace, and there is one particular scene (used in the official YouTube trailer by MARVEL, no less) where a cat is sliced in half with a katana. While it is true that there is very little or no blood in the show to speak of, the amount of violence in the show would be rather unsettling for modern child and pre-teen viewers.
