We’ve still got two episodes left right? I’ll be interested in seeing where things go from here. Also the version I watched cuts off around the 23:30 mark, anything of particular note happen after that?

Speaking of, is Shout still doing Sentai releases or was Fiveman the last one?

Hopefully that price is just a placeholder, because that's way too expensive.

There was a stream during tonight’s SHT where we formally met the new Sentai actors:

Bun Red / Taiya Handou - Haruhi Inouchi
Bun Blue / Ishirou Meita - Yuki Hayama
Bun Pink / Mira Shifuto - Miu Suzuki
Bun Black / Jou Akuse - Ryu Saitou
Bun Orange / Genba Bureki - Satoru Souma

Junichi Suwabe, Nana Mizuki and Sumire Morohoshi will be playing the primary villains while Rica Matsumoto will be returning to the franchise as the voice of the team’s equipment/megazord in addition to singing the ED

Also all the info revealed during the stream is up on Toei’s website now should anyone want to translate further:

I couldn't agree more with the King-ohger praise, I spent this entire episode going "oh my god, holy poo poo, that's so cool" over and over and over. What an insane show. It may genuinely dethrone Shinkenger as my favourite series ever if the last episode is as good as the rest has been, and I see no reason to believe it won't.

Shinkenger was my first real Sentai series and while I think I rank Gokaiger higher King-Ohger might top them both.

Oh right, they aired a teaser not too long ago. I remember now

But yeah, even if somehow this show manages to crash and burn right at the finish line (which doesn’t seem possible at this point) I’d still say it was worth the ride overall

For those who were surprised by the appearance of named characters that hadn't appeared in the series before, they came from the movie which has been subbed.

Toei’s been doing stuff like that since at least Dekaranger though (DekaGold has whole seconds worth of in-suit screentime in the movie and they still made a new suit for her) but it’s still cool nonetheless

Without looking closely, given how simple the suits are, they may have just reused the armor portions over a different undersuit. It's possible they also have it prepared for Suzume's turn in the suit

I have to imagine that toning things down would be part of the plan to not get immediately banned on YouTube but I don’t know how “bad” (from previous seasons standpoint) things are to compare there.

Also on a very different note, did we end up with any information from the Kakuranger 30 project or did things get drowned out with the other Sentai press conference?

This seems like it "proves" the opposite of that, given that the writer is bringing Rita up in a list of female characters in a topic about how he writes a variety of female characters with different affects and motivations.

Like, identify with whatever you want, and Rita is a fantastic character for it, but this debate over what's real and what isn't is honestly the least interesting part of any of this, exactly because of the nuance with which they perform different identities in different contexts, despite a couple minor stumbles in its execution.

I know, it's Google translate, but theres the extra context in the same passage. He puts Rita with those other female characters because the actress is female or otherwise non-male which is part of the broader subject.

Shuggoddamn what a SHOW. Insane highs for Sentai right here, with the political side, the character side, the emotions, the music, the giant fights, everything being so insanely good. The beginning is a bit slow but once it gets past that it's peak Sentai no matter from where you see it.

Conclusion: it's alright.

IT'S ALRIIIIIIGHT

YOU'RE PEAK

I never expected something to dethrone (heh) Shinkenger as my favourite show but I think we're there guys. This may be a new favourite for me. They truly conquered the world and my heart.
