Now this is something out of the blue to me. Yume Senshi Wingman is a title I wasn't in the least familiar with. This alone proves just how much anime is out there.
Shortened sometimes as Wingman, this title deals with Hirono Kenta, a boy who dreams about being a Hero of Justice. It's all a fantasy... until Aoi Yume appears with a peculiar item: the Dream Note (and no, this does not affiliate with Death Note in the least). Drawing that hero out, his fantasy comes to life, and thus comes the rise of the hero Wingman. As crazy as it is, it gets crazier when the dreamscape world Boltereem is endangered by someone wishing to claim the dream note and that world: the evil Rimeru. Accompanied by Aoi and his childhood friend Miku, Hirono must save Boltereen before it's too late, as well as make up his mind between who he likes better...
Granted it is a vintage work, it makes me want to gag for a good reason. Seeing as how this was made under Toei Animation, despite having different authors, I see a bit of Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z mixed in, both of which ALSO made in the Toei studio (for those who didn't catch it, I'm referencing the Great Saiyaman bit Gohan pulls off in DBZ). That said, while I do find it humorous, it's not bad for a vintage piece. The TV anime is 47 episodes long, and the languages are in Japanese and French. To my knowledge, it was never localized for English, so subs are unlikely, adding that this is one of those REALLY less known works.
Can't say it's terrible, because I've seen worse, but after seeing Tatsunoko's vintage works, I kinda expected a bit more. Still, it gets a fair 6 of 10.
