I've been working my way through super sentai from zyu onwards, limiting myself to series that have been fully subbed (even if it's just the tvn subs, I'm used to awful subbing thanks to 90's anime).

But I have a question, is Gekiranger worth watching? If I skip it, am I missing out?

TVN subs aside, I liked Gekiranger because I'm a martial arts dork. I seem to be in the minority, though. :shrug:

Positive, I liked the focus on martial arts and that each character had a distinct style, plus the it had my favorite opening theme.

Gekiranger is pretty fun. Shame about only having TVN subs but the choreography and characters were great.

There ARE non-TVN subs for Gekiranger, though? Like some dude calling himself Geki-dan I think did them awhile back.

For reasons unknown to me, those subs are not to be spoken of and do not exist.

The GekiKnight/Hikari-Senshi release is, in fact, exactly that. GekiDan was one of the guys who ran JEFusion who died recently. I don't think he made any Gekiranger subs.

Huh, over in TVIV most of them were saying Jungle Fury is a pretty okay series. I haven't seen it but I'm just surprised that people seem to have such wildly different opinions of it.

Ok it's not as bad as operation overdrive but I wouldn't say it's great or anything.

I still don't know how they're going to make it "practical", but I like how it seems whoever has a moment in the episode is going to be the focus of swapping trains. Right and Kagura last week, then Tokachi and Mio this week.

Really excited though that they hinted at The Shadow Line train turning into a mech eventually. At least that's how I took it. I also thought it was cool the Crow's got generic badguy mechs..

Knew what the image gag was going to be before I found a good shot to match it :v:.

I'm really enjoying the main plot for this. They keep trying to find new twists for Horrors, and this one just clicks with me. It makes me wonder if there are any Horrors that would strike a friendship with a human, as unlikely as it seems.

Also I was surprised when Fujita got a French line, and very good French at that. Then I felt dumb at finding out he was half-French. :doh:

Oh, awesome. I watched this a few months back with the TV-N subs and thought they surprisingly were not that bad, so I can't wait to see how much stuff they got wrong that I never noticed :v:

I get seriously bored with the CGI fights, they are just so long and ugly. The out of suit stuff is usually okay but after the first few episodes of season 1 they just seemed to do less and less of it from what I can remember (Having watched Season 1, the first batch of movies and the first half of season 2.)

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
The weird thing is, they leave in some Sentai and completely add in custom Goseiger/Gokaiger footage to replace other Sentai. It's like they don't give a gently caress but then really give a gently caress. It's really confusing.

They didn't even give the Flashman or Maskman powers new names. They just exist and we accept it now. Not even "These are rangers off from the Vica Galaxy." Just "BRING ON THE NEW POWERS!!" What's even stranger is they cut several usable changes. They had a Dynaman change they nixed, Green turning into Green Rhino from Liveman and Midoranger from Goranger got the axe. It seems so arbitrary what they'll cut out or what they'll leave in.

Edit: Basically it's this
