Overview

Daisato, a second-rate, third-generation superhero, annoys his neighbors with the noise and destruction he causes on the job. But a heroic public image is the least of his concerns. Besides defending Japan from bizarre monsters, he must deal with an agent seeking to brand him with ads, a superhero grandfather with Alzheimer's and a family embarrassed by his incompetence.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A deadpan found-footage mockumentary where a failing superhero's mundane personal anxieties, embarrassing family, invasive sponsors, aging parent, matter far more than his absurd battles with giant creatures, creating comedy from the gap between heroic expectation and pathetic reality.
