You may have seen his Project A-ko video from 1986 and have fond memories of that series. Lately director Katsuhiko Nishijima's efforts haven't been very good. I guess these days his trademark is showing leggy women in micro-mini-skirts. This results in a lot of "underwear" scenes. You've probably seen that in his series Agent Aika. This happens again in Labyrinth of Flames. It seems silly to me and I feel like shouting "dress sensibly would you!" to the onscreen characters. This story is about a ninja-wannabe and is pretty forgettable. Be warned that the director sticks to this underwear angle again in his latest effort "Blitz Tactics Najica".
