Watching Ex-Aid and it rules but the episode where Hiiro performs surgery to cure a guy with terminal pancreatic cancer is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

I was cracking up at how nutty that episode was because it's amazing to depict Hiiro as a surgeon in heroic Kamen Rider world where the main characters are always triumphant over evil, including terminal cancer. He was able to operate on an elderly man into remission in a matter of hours as a solo surgeon!

that scene was necessary because the show had never actually demonstrated that hiiro was a "genius surgeon". up til that point he had just been a dickish, mediocre kamen rider and the beneficiary of a giant load of nepotism.

Not even "Hiiro gave the elderly man a fighting chance at cancer", but "lol bye cancer suck it"

Hiiro's character progression has been so low-key post-Graphite I'm looking forward to them finally giving the guy some major frame-time to show it off.

In three words, Kyuuranger is "Style Over Substance", but that style is so very my jam that i'll stick to it for a bit.

It could be the worst thing ever and I'd still be hyped based on how good the designs are and how good Zyuohger was. Plus, I mean, I watched Ninninger which is basically an unspoken promise to watch all Sentai from now on since "C'mon, I made it through Ninninger."

The budget on this Kyuranger episode feels loving absurd. There are explosions and meteors everywhere. I love it. I'm not worried about 'style over substance' because this is the first 21 minutes. If it's flashy enough and has this much energy I will forgive a ton of stuff. Also the Black Ranger is amazing. I love him. I love him looking at being left behind to fight 100 bad guys and he's like 'Eh gently caress it let's go, I got this.'

I can't believe they made the Blue Ranger's suit furry too. And the main team are the odd numbers. I wonder if that will figure in to the narrative in any way. They really covered a lot of ground in one episode. I suppose it will slow down a little next week.

I think I love Kyuranger, you guys. Red's motivation to get in that fight is super contrived, but they'll probably cover his rear end with backstory later? Anyway, the next episode preview revealed that Silver and Gold do Jojo poses, and that's about all I need from life.

Well, I think I'm not going to change your opinions but I'd recommend it to others as a significant season that people should form their own opinions of and one which "avoid TV Nihon" goes doubly so. I don't think it comes off as a trope collection, it certainly uses """""tropes""""" but each of them means something. And you know what, I liked that there was a lot going on, but I'm more of a Rider guy than a Sentai guy and it was really different when I came back to a middle episode after putting it on hold for a year and realizing I did not remember why anyone was doing things. Which I think was good, especially for a sentai season. I felt like it all came together in the end, and I was glad that I had experienced this season. I'd also recommend it to people who like Kung Fu movies (which I might start doing after I finish watching Hesei Riders to my satisfaction), there's apparently a lot of references beyond "Sharky Chan" and "Bat Li", for instance "The Five Deadly Venoms" is a Kung Fu movie reference and not just the first set of motw's. It's not strong praise, I know, but I don't want to spoil anything and I and kind of pressed for time at the moment. It's also the only pre-gokaiger season I've finished, unfortunately. I can't binge series like I used to. But I don't want to leave it with bad press is all.

I watched neither of those versions for Gekiranger (a spanish version, translated directly from japanese by the Tokunet main translator ages ago) and I, too, think Jan's dialogue is poo poo and awful. And yeah, the Gekiknight version of Geki is flawed on a whole different way. The guy has improved over the years, but when he did Geki he didn't have that much experience translating, and it shows on a fair lot of his lines.

The odd numbers looks to be a mecha reason afaict. The first main mecha is 1-3-5-7-9 and the other is 1-2-4-6-8. When the 10th shows, up, presumably, that'll allow for 2-4-6-8-10 (and 3-5-7-9-10). It's like how Zyuu had a 1-2-3 and a 4-5-6 mecha

Finally watched episode 1. What's the total number of times Lucky said "lucky"? That was actually really annoying. Green has no real personality afaict so far. Garu is pretty meh except that he's voiced by the same VA as Zoro from One Piece. Hopefully it'll improve once they're done with the requisite recruitment drive and the first round of collectible gathering.Stallion Cabana posted:The budget on this Kyuranger episode feels loving absurd. There are explosions and meteors everywhere. I love it. The first episodes always look flashier than the later episodes. Expect less CG'd explosions per episode until the middle climax and the end. It's good to know that the Helheim props from Kamen Rider Gaim are getting maximum use though. They also made an appearance in Zyuuranger too iirc.

Special bonus: Gold is being voiced by the same VA as Josuke in Diamond is Black/Champ has voiced other sentai monsters as well as Blackbeard of One Piece, Black Jack and Solid Snake. I expect a reference to this at some point. The Commander is voiced by the husband of the author of Saint Young Men

Zangyack shows up to conquer Earth and 34 teams of Sentai show up to kick their rear end and send them packing. These Jark Matter jokers show up to conquer Earth and do so with no resistance. Maybe they were all taking a nap.
