Gaz-L posted:Well that, and the seasons that go a totally different direction tend to work best. (In Space/RPM) The ones that really shined were those where cancellation or switch-over loomed so the writers were given more free reign. Zeo, for example, pretty much did its own thing as does Megaforce right now.

So I'm catching up on Megaforce...did they really just have a fart joke? Bulk and Skull are the only ones allowed to make fart jokes!

I just finished watching Go-Busters. Oh man. Jin... How the gently caress did this dumb Japanese kid's show make me care about a character dying?

I've found the TV-N subs don't bother me with Shinkenger especially because of just how Japanese the show is. Having random untranslated things and honorifics and the like fits the tone.

The worst thing about the finale of Go-Busters was knowing I would no longer have my weekly dose of Beet J. Stag.

Saw this commercial today for a Samsung phone watch thing and it has some Power Ranger clips in it from Itsy Bitsy Spider and Green with Evil. I think there is a different clip from the garage, but I don't remember what episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3qeJKax2CU

If I ever find myself in a situation where I have more money than sense, I'd buy one of those and set it to a communicator ringtone. I'd look like such a tool when it went off but gently caress you, I have a goddamned working communicator.

I was pretty down on Megaforce, but Robo-Knight rapping is far too hilarious to hate. I have to see what nonsense they'll come up with next.

Well, that's one way to tie Goseiger and Gokaiger together. At this rate, Megaforce is already 10 times better than Samurai. I hope it doesn't get boring.

Preview of the next season of Super Sentai: http://herotaku.com/blog/1/entry-10367-ressha-sentai-tokkyuger-revealed-updated-with-toy-catalogue-pics/ Immediately makes me think of this:

Those costumes look horrible, but trains.
|
# ? Dec 6, 2013 16:48 |
|
Yeah, those costumes, holy poo poo I dig the visors, actually, they remind me a lot of Kamen Rider Knight, but the suits look like mooks from some other series. And they apparently can't transform or call their mechs if their liner pass is out of funds. So amped for Train Sentai Expresstrainger, oh yes. Then again, I would have thought "the power of samba, dinosaurs, and brave" would have turned out terribly but here we are with the most hilarious sentai in years right now.

God drat the train robot looks like the derpiest loving thing. They literally stuck five trains together and stood it up.

The rangers look like generic grunts, that's really sad.

I would honestly say they look like characters in a sentai parody rather than one of the main series. Maybe that's what they'll go for, I dunno. Also, just finished watching Megaforce and um... This is probably me overthinking things, but am I the only one who finds the way the series has approached alien life to be... vaguely racist? Its the way they always use it in general terms, especially compared to the way everyone goes scathing on about humans, again in that general term sorta way. The enemies of the last episode are called the 'alien armada' even by the guy who is partly in charge of that armada, and hell earlier in the series I swear one bad guy went 'what do any aliens want of other species?' with the clear implication of taking them over. It just feels... weird, considering Power Rangers has been better about this in the past. Zordon and Alpha were both aliens (wizard and robot respectively), the Rangers had various alien allies from across the universe, Rangers themselves or otherwise (and I'm counting KO-35 here, even with how they handwaved it as 'Earth isn't the only place with humans'), and hell, the whole 'anything not human must be eeeevil' argument got torn apart back in In Space and at the start of Wild Force. So yeah, might be overthinking this, but maybe its also a consequence of trying to keep things simple for younger kids?

# ? Dec 7, 2013 14:13 |

Has there been a show lately where all the mecha don't combine in the end? Gigant KyouryuuJin is everything I can think of, unless Plezuon isn't in it or something. (It's also ugly as poo poo) G12 is the high watermark for "holy poo poo everything turned into one robot", though.
|
# ? Dec 7, 2013 14:28 |

I think Samurai Ha-oH is the last "all the zords are there" combination. Gigant KyouryuuJin is missing the bird, the space-dragon jet and half the the limb zords. The one from Go-Busters was missing the red zord. Gokeiger was missing a giant combination but the series's gimmick wouldn't have made that possible anyway. Goseiger was missing a whole bunch of them.
|
# ? Dec 7, 2013 14:38 |

Ahh. Yeah, that's all very true. I think the closest Gokaiger ever came was when Gokai-Oh got to wear GouZyuJin's arms
