I don't collect ranger keys, but those are a lot more interesting to me than just "the most recent team" anyway. I mean, those'll come eventually for sure, so if I was a collector I'd be way more hype about all these not-rangers getting keys.

Fair enough. I'm just a bit biased because my Ranger Key collection is Reds only.

Which is appropiate. The reason why Right couldn't turn Orange, and Akira couldn't turn into other colours, is because Akira didn't need it. When does Right manage to turn into Orange? During the final battle with Z, where he undoubtely NEEDS the power.

IMAGINATION was undoubtely part of the thing, since TQG, but I think it was well-done, by Ticket making it clear that it wasn't impossible, just unneeded. Choice of words!

Just finished W and enjoyed the entire ride. Literally my only real complaint is the arc with movie kid, I could not care at all about his whole absurdly meek shtick and found myself skipping those bits to get to the main plot stuff.

That being said, I'm still scratching my head about Wakana going full antagonist in the final part of the show. She seemed to be actively avoiding the family business, so what is supposed to be the implication that makes her turn on Phillip? She never struck me as someone who would be into the whole Gaia cleric thing.

Weather Dopant guy hosed with her Gaia Driver so her Gaia Memory started messing with her mind. Then he started experimenting on her even more so she was basically just crazy as hell by the end.

Remember that Gaia Memories gently caress you up by default. Then Weather further hosed with her Gaia Memory. She was barely holding it together and was planning to ditch with Philip when she found out that he was her brother. So she basically found out her one chance to escape her family was... still her family. That was all she needed to go Full Batshit.

While I still think that plot point was bologna, this is an okay interpretation. I mean, not the belt stuff since that is literally stated and shown on screen.

So Medic is definitely #3 in the Ultimate Roidmude group unless something unforeseen happen while 006 has finally shown his true purpose: getting jobbed and being used by Banno rather than being his own special Roidmude.

Also, first glimpse at Ghost in one of the trailers for the movie

I was going to call it a misplay on the parts of the writers because I was super hyped to see what he really looked like, especially once he was like 'my power is the same as Heart's' but then I realized that no it's loving amazing and that was worth every second of build up. At this point I think Banno might have killed almost as many Roidmudes as Shinnosuke. Definitely more then Chase or Go but nowhere near Medic's insane kill count. I still want a toy or something to reveal 006's real form. I imagine it could be some kind of Chinese Martial Arts inspired one.

Watching Heart literally meteor drop into the scene to try and murder Banno for even trying to touch Medic might have been one of the high points of the series, he just hates him so much it's incredible.


EDIT:

Also this motherfucker in Ninninger was amazing; Apparently you can't spoil Tiny images which is annoying.

Was looking for Kamen Rider specials and came upon the Gaim Gaiden specials featuring Takatora and Kaito since they didn't get that much expansion in the main story as well as their backgrounds including the history of Yggdrasil and featuring new lockseeds (the armor quality is kinda awful though). The first one makes Ryoma look like even more of a dick while jobbing Sid a little. The second one has Kaito's actor act completely silly and it's wonderful.

The next specials will be released in November are for Ryoma and Zack (Knuckle). IMO, I would've preferred Yoko or Oren or even Jonouichi (Guridon/Ornac)

Edit: The subs are by OrangeLion which seems fine enough. The dirtbike sequence seemed utterly unnecessary though.

So I've mentioned this a time or two before, here and there. I am working on getting a comic series started based on Power Rangers, and of course Super Sentai. The title of the book is proposed to be The Lightning Brigade (Or The Lightning Brigade 5, LB5 for short)

I've found an artist who might be up for working on it in two months when his schedule clears, and if he is we'll be attempting to shop it around to various comic companies. It's not a sure thing, as anything could come up, but the artist in question can be found here- http://www.davidfernandezartist.com/ If you look around his work, you'll find he's not shy about doing Sentai/Ranger inspired stuff.

Would you guys care to hear about this project? Tell me how it sounds as the general audience for this kind of thing? If so I'll drop the basics of the plot and some short spoiler free character bios down. If not ah well.

Nah, "Charge of the Lightning Brigade" is what you call the big climactic arc where everything looks hopeless and they make one last desperate stand before being replaced with next season's Lightning Brigaders.

I know what Go means.

If I wanted to work in gratuitous Japanese I'd stick with the original title, Lightning Ronin.

But I came up with that when I was like 13 so gently caress that. Also on a more serious note, it doesn't quite fit the tone of the story and brings to mind a certain cartoon that ends with Go...

EDIT: On the OTHER hand if I could figure out a good T word I could have the best acronym ever almost

Since Ghost is starting in September, that means it will air during the Christmas season, right?
