Larryb posted:Interestingly enough, Zyuranger was not the first sentai that was adapted for english audiences. Back in the 80's USA aired a parody dub of Dynaman, it only lasted for 6 episodes but here you go. I remembered seeing that gag dub Dynaman opening years ago, thanks for confirming I didn't just dream it. So much toku, where am I going to find the time and hard drive space for all this?

Justin_Brett posted:Weren't the Yumajuu turned into Toxic Mutants or whatever? That's sort of foreshadowing. They were toxic mutants in Goseiger too, and the environmental message stuff was dropped pretty quickly after one clash between the Goseigers and Gosei Knight about it. Potsticker posted:I liked Double's and Gokaiger's monster suits a lot. OOOs had some good ones too, but I'm lukewarm on Fourze's and Wizards. Gobuster's were too same-y and they reused suits a lot. Kyoryuger's so far have been pretty good, I thought. W's monsters ranged from cool (Weather) to silly (Sweets), overall I thought they were pretty average. My favorites are Agito's Unknown/Lords, Blade's Undead and Fourze's Zodiarts. I feel like those strike a good balance between having consistant, related designs without being uniform like Faiz's Ophenochs.

Rei_ posted:The Orphenoc were really, really good looking though. Yeah they were all slate coloured, but they were all really unique designs. I know, and looking at still pictures really shows that off, but when they were in motion I just couldn't get over them being all grey. ImpAtom posted:The environmental message continued basically throughout the entire series so I'm not sure what you mean there. Goseiger is hippy as gently caress. Gosei Knight attacks a factory once while blaming humans for the reappearance of the Umajuu. I don't remember anyone else bringing up the idea that humans were at fault afterwards, as opposed to blaming the current crop of monsters who wanted to destroy/enslave the planet. The Umajuu were also based on cryptids as well as pollution, hence the U.M.A. portion of the name for anyone who didn't know.

ImpAtom posted:Gosei Knight has multiple occasions where he blames humans in general for being fuckups, although only to that extreme of attacking them once. His arc is basically him going from "man, gently caress humans, ya'll are ruining this planet" to "Huh, maybe humans aren't so bad." It plays into the fact that He is Bladerun's Headder and Bladerun has basically the same mindset times a thousand because he's a giant rear end in a top hat. Well, that goes to show how little I remember about Goseiger. Thanks for the clarification.

JT Smiley posted:Carter was a badass? I never managed to sit through more than a handful of episodes before I just gave up on Lightspeed completely. To this day it's the only season I've skipped, because I hated it that much. And I've seen all of Operation Overdrive! I didn't like Lightspeed much when I first saw it, but seeing it in reruns later I thought it was pretty good. I think some of its problems come from being the first season to be more stand-alone in terms of story.

I'm so glad my worries about Kyoryuger were unfounded, it's been great so far and things are looking up. I certainly wouldn't have expected them to combine space into the newest dinosaur show.

AzraelNewtype posted:You didn't? Obviously team Over-Time did. Why else do you think we've had the Fourze based theme for so long? Everything is going according to plan. No, I thought Dinosaur Samba would have been enough to carry the series but clearly I was thinking inside the box. EDIT: Hooray, another Purple Ranger who's awesome! This is the best week. Agent Rush fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Jul 15, 2013 |

I've always liked Shallow Urban River and the Lakeside.ZenMasterBullshit posted:It's Happening! Forget about Gaim(u) stalker nerd girl is joining the team. So all Sentai change devices automatically add skirts to the suit when a woman activates one? It's kind of neat to see that again after Gokaiger.

I thought Go-Busters had pretty dynamic mech fights, probably because the little monsters and the megazords were unconnected.

Race Realists posted:It really is the shittiest Kamen rider in a while. Would you compare it to the second half of hibiki? Hibiki at least had its opening half to build a few good points out of, Wizard has just been kind of 'eh' throughout. I thought the fights were ok before the Dragon/Infinity win buttons showed up, but the plot's been largely obvious and uninteresting for most of the series. I hope Gaim is better.

Wow, if Kyoryuger 29 isn't the most giffable sentai episode I've ever seen. I hope there's a Carnival for every combination.

It let's you download the mp3, and I've been able to find sounds for pretty much every Heisei rider series and some before. Thanks a lot for the info, I finally have the Morphin Brace tone for phone at last!

Honestly, I'd rate Fourze pretty highly just because Switches are my favorite Rider gimmick so far. There was no way they were going to make all 40 of them worthwhile (like Scoop only showing in a daydream sequence in the series) but there were some fun uses and combinations throughout.

Can anyone seed the 01-24 SD batch release of Go-Busters from OT? My brother wanted to check out the series and I'm stuck at 89 percent.

My favorite belt would be the Faiz Gear for looks and sounds, but my favorite henshin is Fourze's. That countdown is just too awesome.

Cernunnos posted:I wouldn't really call this early in the series given that we're about halfway through now. You think so? I found it kind of strange no one seemed to realize that Tomari drove the Kamen Rider's car everywhere. He'd park it right in front of the station, and it's not like it transformed or anything.
