ToQger would have to be good in the first place to trip at the finish line like Kyoryuger did. Also if you hate it when the Red gets all the glory in the final battle, I've got bad news for you.

Well its been fumbled the whole way through so no need to worry about that. Anyways so long ToQger, you won't be missed. I tried to like the show and stuck with it longer than a lot of people here did (and then went back and watched through all the stuff I had missed over the past two or so weeks to get entirely caught up) and the show was going okay at first but just never took off. Ninijer looks fun so here's hoping it actually is. Having non-train/rolling zords again is a real breath of fresh air. Its not often that I gain much enjoyment from seeing robot previews but I liked seeing the (very short bursts of) mechs in action in the preview so here's hoping that that does not get old fast.

Kyoruger ended with the heroes singing the theme song to turn the tide of battle. That's dope.

Woke up early to pull the trigger on a Shurikenjin from CSToys. Said it was sold out after I put in my order so now we wait and see if I got in under the wire. $27 dollars in shipping and still cheaper than what BBTS would have cost.

So Nininger is going to be the first time I've gotten into a Toku show at launch. What should I be expecting as far as when a subbed version will be coming out?

Over-Time has not definitively stated if they'll be subbing this one yet (they never confirm until after a show airs), but if they do, their Sentail subs usually hit on the Tuesday or Wednesday after an episode airs, but again, not a hard and fast rule, sometimes it's earlier and sometimes it's later. They appear to prioritize Kamen Rider; subs for that almost always come out first.

Is it just me or does Nin seem like a massive retread of Shinkenger, as far as the plot goes? It's like you could just replace SAMURAI for NINJA and end up with the same exact thing.

It feels like a Kaku/Shinken hybrid to me, just based off the previews. We've got past generations of rangers ala Shinken, and what looks to be a comedic tone, ala Kaku.

Not really, it might be based off the same concept (picking up where your ancestors left off to fight against an eternal evil) but honestly Dairanger shared that concept too and it was nothing like Shinkenger. The real heart of Shinkenger to me was the Shinkengers putting their own personal lives aside to take part in that battle and Red's own struggle to lead the Shinkengers- being a comedic series I doubt that Ninninjer will emphasize things like that.

I hope Nin is significantly more interesting at the beginning. I'm glad that I caught up with ToQ and am looking forward to watching the ending, but it took a LOT of fast-forwarding past the boring elements to get there.

The writer for Nininininin...inin..ger...Ninninger? Whatever. He's apparently a protege of the dude who wrote Carranger, Poitrine and 'that episode of Abaranger about the wigs' according to Lynxara of the Low Visibility podcast So don't expect this to be a dire, dark seaon

I think we all knew what to expect when we knew the premise was about a bunch of ninjas who decided "gently caress being sneaky, let's get rowdy."

I completely disagree with your spoiler there...unlike Kyoryuger, where the rest of the team wasn't even present for the final battle, all of Right's teammates were right there with him. They got to take out Nero and Mork, and backed him up for the final cannon blast. It wasn't one hundred percent a team fight, but I'd call is a 60/40 Right/Everyone Else split.

There's a huge difference between actual teamwork, and the Red just using everyone else's toys.

I haven't watched any of ToQger, but I am so excited for Ninninger, it's unreal. Really high hopes. It feels like all the best things about Sentai in one show.

Both ToQger and Kyoryuger had only the Red get to lay a hit on the Final Boss, but at least Kyoryuger allowed the rest of the team to take out the Generals. In terms of THEME, though, he wouldn't have been able to do anything without everyone else's IMAG-I-NATION

Was that the first time someone transferred to orange? By the time he came around the tranferring gimmick was falling by the wayside. I'll probably miss the secondary cast more than the main actors but I think that Hikari was a good character, I'll definitely remember him more than some of the other characters (both from TQG and sentai in general.)

When Akira first shows up Right tries to use the orange morpher and nothing happens. They say it doesn't work that way, so it working now just seems like, "gently caress it whatever, rainbows"

ToQGer's finale was fantastic. They combined every gimmick from the series for a great payoff. I think my favorite part was when they location jumped from to the wrecked city to the quarry. It's like they were bound by contract to have both locations in the finale.

Gokaiger's final battle is still my favorite out of the PR/Sentai ones I've seen. But 50% of that just the announcer changes going nonstop.

Presumably enough IMAGINATION can overcome that though, as was shown.

Just watched the finale again with subs, and yeah, I don't think the final fight was nearly as Red-centric as Kyoryu's. Yeah, the final blow on Zed's monster form was dealt by Right, but the entire team was there, they fought the remaining generals (and defeated them; sure they didn't explode, but they were out of the fight, all they could do was give their bodies in service to their emperor). And then the final cannon blast was a team-effort. Sure, they could have made it a 6-on-1-brawl, and there would have been some cool choreography there, but it didn't come off as Right Sentai RedQger to me at all. Also, I really like that in the very end they managed to have enough [dolly zoom]IMAGINATION[/dolly zoom] to remember everything. I anticipate whatever asspull they have to do to age the kids back up again for Ninnin vs ToQ.

Ninnin vs. ToQ will actually take place 20 years in the future. The ToQgers still act like manchildren because uhhh imagination. Alternatively, the adult actors save Akira won't appear at all and the kids do a suitless rollcall.

SpiderHyphenMan posted:But what made it so cool in Gokaiger was that they used the ridiculous design of the bazooka as a weapon, literally impaling him with that goofy rear end thing. Here they just shoved it up against his chest. Implying that the ToQ super cannon's design wasn't ridiculous? I'm going to agree that on the whole, I liked the ToQ finale. I agree that the finale fight echoed Kyolug a lot, but while Kyolug's solo fight came out of nowhere, Right vs Zed was thematically set up throughout the whole series. Also, the rest of the crew actually physically being there added a lot; Right being the only one who could withstand Zed's increased power also made sense due to the last three episodes. ToQ Rainbow was awesome and the Gokai callback was equally awesome.
