It's basically saying the same thing.

Not that it matters since everything in your post is bad and wrong to begin with.

Anyone who dislikes Fourze and its awesome supporting cast literally hates fun. Sure, the KRC wasn't developed properly over the series run, but they were still super fun and awesome and great.

Yeah, they hosed up Yuki bad.

She made a lot of sense as "the character who really legitimately loves space but has a dorky way of showing it" until the lovely astronaut episode where they revealed she is actually a loving moron. Despite the fact that episode would have made a lot more sense otherwise.

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Yuki's sheer stupidity late in the series. It was disappointing. I get that she was the prime comic relief, but that doesn't excuse the staff taking away her brains. She should've been a huge goofball yet still competent like Akiko.

Shun and Miu, too. They had this great farewell after the prom episode and then suddenly they return as catchphrase spouting robots who do nothing of consequence the rest of the show.

incidentally the tiger girl gets the snow theme instead of jungle because the closest tigers to Japan live in Siberia, further north than even Hokkaido (ie. Japan's Alaska)

This is actually one of the things I liked; instead of just randomly being a White Tiger, they're like 'It's a White Tiger, it comes from Siberia, it's cold there.'

Aran and Javel have been updated too their actual romanized names of Alain and Javert, respectively. I had a feeling that was the case for Javert, but I want aware of Alain (particularly because of the pronunciation)

wait so does that mean Alain was named for Émile-Auguste Chartier? Which would mean that Javert is named for, well, Javert? I don't get what Igor is named for then other then just the standard Igor thing; if all the Ganma are named after French things I guess it fits a theme though. Attack of the Evil French Ghosts.

Well I at least agree there's no need to have a big Wizard debate again, but even as I did really like Fourze it does have issues. Luckily Gentarou has a fantastic actor and even if the overarching plot goes nowhere the individual episode arcs are mostly fantastic. I don't think it's that far out that someone would find it an average show. I don't think personally I would recommend it as anyone's first Rider unless they already were excited about the suit or the premise.

On the other hand I would definitely recommend anyone already watching Rider to give it a try.

It's rather impressive how dorky someone as serious as Alain can be. He clearly lowers his guard to Kanon and to no one else and he's just so shocked about certain aspects of humanity, it's wonderful.

Boy, that Zyuohger just felt like a lot of stuff happening just to happen. No real lead up to the bad guys showing up, red morphing, or the zords appearing and combining. Hopefully they set up something interesting. I love the singing announcer for all the cubes

I'm 90% sure the narrator for the opening/title cards is the guy who voices Brook in One Piece. :yohoho:

I guess since half the cast of One Piece has been/is out of the picture for a while he's gotta find something else to do. :v:

I'm wondering if there's going to be a sort of theme between the monsters or generals. Kyoryuger was apparently super layered in the amount of themes that the generals had with each other (suits of cards, the Wizard of Oz, and currencies to name a few). Kamen Rider does it more since there's fewer monsters in the series overall, but it's neat to see that in Sentai.

Currencies? I haven't heard that one. Can you explain?

Zyuohger's villians seems to be two main things right now: Video games is the overarching theme, but at least three of the bad guys are also based on minerals.

Then you have their mooks who are amoebas?
