Mirrorman (ミラーマン : Mirāman ) is a tokusatsu television series airing on Fuji TV from December 5, 1971 to November 26, 1972. It was Tsuburaya Production's first non-Ultraman superhero series, originally intended to be a tense, character-driven drama Initially tonally similar to Ultraseven, the network eventually forced Mirrorman's brooding, tense, and understated tone to shift to be more special-effects and combat focused. Mirrorman is made to face more dramatic and flashy fights, but the series becomes less focused on mysterious or spy-TV-esque Invader plots. SGM, previously a practically unarmed scientific investigation squad, is revamped to be more in line with a traditional Ultraman defense team, and the whole series takes on a tone more similar to other Kyodai Hero shows.
