Was checking this youtube channel I like to watch for it's videos showing off various Sentai toys(Le Dihn Bao for those curious), and it's newest video shows the DX toy for the Magma Base/Max Magma from Fiveman and jeez is that bastard HUGE, probably the biggest Sentai toy I've ever seen from a size and height perspective(probably quite a few that are heavier though as it's pretty hollow and doesn't appear to have any electronics in it), at least for a single unit robot

Nexus would be higher on the list but so far I'm running into the same problem with it that I had with Faiz: a large majority of the characters are terrible people in some way or another. This might change later on though as I'm still only a few episodes in Speaking of Faiz, Ultraseven X is also giving me a similar vibe at least as far as setting and tone goes (the government in that series is basically Smart Brain on a larger scale). By the way, has anyone subbed Ultraseven X besides TV-Nihon (though to be fair it's not the worst effort I've seen from them)?. I kind of hope the next series that follows this is a little longer though as for some reason every series after Mebius has only been a little over 20 episodes long at most.

By the way, has anyone subbed Ultraseven X besides TV-Nihon (though to be fair it's not the worst effort I've seen from them)?. How many episodes are you into Nexus? Because character development is a hell of a thing on that show. Especially when you know the ultimate twist. UltraSeven X is something you just need to watch through as it's only 12 episodes. You'll start noticing the themes it has, and its answer to "Evil Government With Total Control" is kind of brilliant and amazing. Seven X is flawed in one respect- it is done entirely in the style of the original series, just updated, but that includes how UltraSeven doesn't really gently caress around with fighting. The problem is, there are no villains really powerful enough to survive that. So a lot of the fights are very short. Sadly only TV-N has subbed Seven X, but thankfully it's not the worst job they've done like their Nexus subs. Nothing makes negative sense as far as I am aware. For episode count... Yeah. I hope we get some longer shows soon. Tsuburaya seems to be on an upswing so we'll see.

Burkion posted:How many episodes are you into Nexus? Because character development is a hell of a thing on that show. Especially when you know the ultimate twist. Yeah I'm already about halfway through Seven X, just commenting how bleak this series seems to be compared to all the others. As for Nexus I'm about 5 episodes in (and this show probably has the record for the quickest time it takes for an Ultraman's identity to be exposed). Don't get me wrong, it's a good show but so far at least it's really hard for me to like a lot of these people (though they probably get better later on). As for episode count, has there been a reason why the shows following Mebius have been so short lately? Orb is probably the longest so far as it's been established there will be 25 episodes (though Ginga technically beats it out if you count it and Ginga S as one show). Speaking of Ginga, that show sure...exists. I don't outright hate it so far but I can't exactly call it good either. (Though from what I hear, Ginga S does fix a lot of the problems the first season had). Larryb fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Sep 24, 2016 |

Orb is probably the longest so far as it's been established there will be 25 episodes (though Ginga technically beats it out if you count it and Ginga S as one show). The first 15 or so episodes of Nexus form the first major arc. The characters really start to gel by that point because you really start to understand what kind of shitshow is going on. In a good way. Tsuburaya was hit hard by economic crap and their legal battles with Chaiyo, a group that fraudulently claim that they have ownership of Ultraman as well due to some really shady bullshit. As that is an international issue, it drained what the company could do for a while. Not helping was the fact that Tsuburaya was being bought out by other Japanese companies at the time, until finally settling down just before they started Ginga. Ginga was basically their first attempt at a new series with Bandai helping more than they had in the past, X was their first 'full' series after that settling. Orb is a good sign of where things are going for them as a company I think. Even better is that apparently, if I remember correctly, Orb is getting an Amazon spin off later this year, like Kamen Rider Amazons. Very curious to see what they do with that.

Having finished Ghost last night, (ramrodded the last 5 eps, was catching up on Dr. Who. All of it. Marathon style.) I can say that it wasn't very good, but it wasn't very bad either. Nininger was way worse, and there have definitely been long-coated riders that have blown so much more rear end than Ghost did. His only crime was being overshadowed by his supporting cast and his villain being pretty monolithic, personality-less evil. The problem is it came off of a really great season like Drive, so it was overshined. I have to say though, he beat the final boss in his base form, and I can't remember the last time that happened. Dark Ex-aid's bike-fu was pretty cool. Shame about the design.

I'm guessing that's the reason that Ultra Galaxy and Ginga were split into two shows each to begin with as well, makes sense. But it looks like their total episode count has been increasing with each season so at this rate it seems like they'll be back up to normal pretty soon.

The humor mostly clicked, the special effects were good, the suits were good, and I had a good time. I particularly liked the dude latching onto the cryptid nerds' car in the middle of a tornado to stoneface some exposition at them. Also, as I was watching the next episode preview, I realized he's got vague hints of Kermit the Frog going on with his voice, which is hilarious. A+ would shuwatch again

After a long and busy move I finally caught up on weekly episodes, which means I'm now delving into old movies I've missed, starting with the Gaim Soccer movie. That was pretty silly, but man I forgot from the opening song previews that the long-promised Gaim Horse Battle was hidden away in there. Also, I think the "Kyu" in "Kyuranger" comes from the "Kyu" in "Chikyu," Earth. I don't think that Kyu is in the other planet names, but it'd make sense enough for a Sentai series.

Has there ever been a toku series with an ending that's as genuinely optimistic and pure-hearted as Fourze's? It stumbles a little bit on the execution, but the passion is there, entirely on display, and proud to be. Even just thinking about the ending still gets me a little bit (though this also has to do with some personal stuff about high school).

The closest thing I remember is an old special where the original Ultraman and Kamen Rider crossed over with each other for a brief segment (also the final boss of Akibaranger Season 2 was basically an Ultraman knockoff).

But bad mecha are basically the only criticism of Zyuohger I have, which is wonderful after Ninninger. Also ZyuohWhale looks really good, so that helps a lot too.Also the last episode of Ghost was worth watching because Ex-Aid Gummy and Amazons S2 had great ads. I actually got a bit of a chill at the end of the latter. The episode itself...happened, I guess. Beyond Javert joining Tenkuuji Temple, everything else was uninteresting and all the interactions between Takeru and Emu felt horribly forced, not to mention how lame the kid (Ayumu?) was. Are they seriously pulling the son-from-the-future move twice in a row?

We haven't had a crappy KR show with crappy suits since Decade. I mean, there've been crappy shows, and there've been shows with crappy suits, but they're mostly independent! The bad shows (Wizard, Ghost, arguably Gaim if it wasn't your bag) have pretty good suits, while the good shows have anywhere from fantastic (Type Wild, Gatakiriba, Kachidoki, Meteor) to the goofy (Type Technique, Meteor Storm, Magnet States, Tamashii) to the straight up god-awful (Cosmic States). But they're all good shows! I guess what I'm saying here is that I'm trying to convince myself that Ex-Aid's dumb suits are a sign that they aren't taking themselves too seriously, and that this is going to be another Fourze.

Fourze had really slick suit and monster design overall,barring the hilariously ugly Cosmic States (which looks so dumb that it must be intentional). Yeah, it was goofy, but that was the point. Did you forget what show you're all watching?

deadly_pudding posted:I like both the Decade and Diend suits I like the Decade base suits a lot too, but I don't actively dislike any of the Heisei main suits other than Agito for being Kuuga v2. To be fair to Ryuki, it's in this weird transitional state of suit design for Rider. To be unfair, they made it out of some material I think I remember hearing they never used again and is visibly falling apart by the end of the series and they had to remake most of them for Dragon Knight. (Although my "favorite" visibly damaged Toku prop is when Ankh in OOO visibly had scotch tape on the arm prop near the end of the series.) Also, the Ryuki suits bunch up a ridiculous amount.
