Synopsis: Original anime scheduled to run on noitaminA for 2 cours. The anime's taglines read, "To those 'adults' who don't want to become adults..." and "Hero will never give up, never hide, never be defeated, never accept evil."
Male model Masayoshi Hazama decides to become a superhero, despite having no superpowers or the technology to create a high-powered suit. He becomes the hero, Samurai Flamenco and begins to fight crime in the name of justice. Police officer Hidenori Goto finds out about Samurai Flamenco and his real identity by a twist of fate, which leads to him getting involved into lots of trouble. Nonetheless, these two young men will come face to face with hardships of being crime-fighters while discovering what it truly means to be a hero of justice.
QUOTE (Ausdoerrt @ Aug 02 2013, 03:51 AM)Samurai Flamenco: I miss a good action flicki was missing a superhero show for this season ;p that said, the "hero" reminds me Twelve from Mirai Nikki yet its sidekick chemistry is sort of Tiger & Bunny... also today premiered Galilei Donna and Koroshiya-san: the Hired Gun, but both 1st episodes weren't interesting enough for me :/ Ex: very low - PS 6/10
