Kingen Sentai Gurren Ohger did not disappoint. Really hope they do come out with a theatrical cut of the last few episodes. Absolutely love how they managed to give closure to pretty much every storyline (even the little Shugod that bonded with Deathnarok VIII!) and provided a balanced story where everyone was the main character at some point. Also, LOL at fighting over who gets the middle bit of the utterly atrocious combination name. Boomboonger looks interesting but kind of generic, I feel. I hope they don't go back to generic sentai after the winning streak of innovative series they've had in the past few years.

They're going to release a DC of the last three episodes on streaming Also honestly, after the last three years were so wild, I think something a bit more traditional is a nice change of pace, especially if they bring in lessons and techniques from said last three years.

The stakes of this one were also really high almost all the time, so something wacky and light-hearted for a year seems fair.

Boonboom will be Year 4 and I hope to seem some new things going with the mecha stuff since they've taken a bit of a back seat in the experiments with team composition and writing and plots. Regarding the finale, the Shogodom guy working with the N'Ksopa mob is from the Racles specials. Completely forgot about the alt color Tarantula that was about to head to the land of the dead.

Thought it was supposed to come out this month, why wait until the summer? Maybe they had to rework the story / ending, like baby kaiju dies a horrible death or something

I'm just assuming any time this year a movie changes dates it's to fill a release date of another movie that got delayed due to the strikes.

There have been two official sex scenes in Kamen Rider and both are completely different ends of the spectrum while still being incredibly unhinged, and both are written by Inoue. I now realize he was not being homophobic with the Rider Time Ryuki scene, he genuinely just thinks every sex scene should leave you bug-eyed in bewilderment.

Inoue also penned the Faiz novel back in the day which from what I hear contains an entirely unnecessary rape scene

Subs are out. BoonBoomger seems fun so far and I love that the Megazord is an actual character in his own right (I'm even getting used to the weird helmet design)

Very strong start for Boonboomger. The characterization is clear from the get-go, the action's excellent (though I imagine it'll be less striking once the budget runs out - then again, I said the same thing about King-Ohger and its extreme use of CGI and I sure got that wrong), it has a very classic Sentai feeling which is honestly pretty nice after so many unique ones, and the comedy's used well for some genuinely funny gags. I love Taiya and Mira already. Chasshiro seems like he'll be fun once he gets to show his personality a bit more, but even here him being clearly unamused by Taiya's antics but still following on them is funny. tl;dr:

The whole Heroes for Hire angle is interesting (almost Cowboy Bebop esque) and Mira is amazing. I like that she seems to be getting a big amount of focus like Haruka did in DonBrothers Also BunBun is basically Ash Ketchum from Pokemon reincarnated as a talking zord (same VA, tone of voice, and general personality) Additionally, our Sixth is going to be a Violet Ranger and will be modeled after an F1 racer Larryb fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Mar 3, 2024 |

Great start- the way this is presented it might be the first Sentai I keep up with since Zenkaiger. Bonus points that the bad guys seem to be Bosozoku.

Yeah bosozoku are also car gangs as well, not just motorcycles anymore - I guess it was their pet/vehicle/giant maker that marked them as such for me with its super long pipes. Nice catch on the decotora and itasha though!

Nice catch on the decotora and itasha though! According to PR wiki (so grain of salt) the pet vehicle is meant to be a riff on Puipui Molcar with a similar naming convention. It's named "Yeiyei Yaruka" (or Yarucar) which does follow the naming convention, but idk.

What got me was how subtle but well done the humor was. The sounds of the zords backing up along with the camera. The getting hitched pun. Car alarms going off as they fly in the air. Taiya's smug satisfaction at making the wedding cake and Boonderio showing it off to the camera.

"Yaruka" is a slang phrase in Japanese which is basically a rough and tumble way of saying "come at me, bro" which is probably more likely what the main origin is

ZenMasterBullshit posted:The 5 Year plan continues strong. He probably expected to be involved for five years but things stabilized enough that he just moved onto other responsibilities. Like nothing would stop him from helming multiple toku seasons in a row (For early Heisei Rider, the only shows he wasn't the producer of were Kuuga, Blade, the first half of Hibiki, and Kiva) other than feeling like he has no need to do so. Besides, wouldn't be the first plan he jumped ship on, like Agito was going to be a direct Kuuga sequel and there's still leftovers of it in the first four episodes before he changed his mind.

Trogglodyte posted:I feel like the five year plan ended two years ago. The original claims of Shirakura's plans were about what was probably a relatively prototypical concept for Zenkaiger (A focus on a single henshin hero and interactions with mecha a la Gridman) and while he was the mind that also produced Donbrothers, King-Ohger is emphatically an Omori project and doesn't really show any of Shirakura's own signs of involvement. Even Geats had more Shirakura involvement (he's the reason Geats is a gunslinger according to Naomi Takebe in an early Uchusen interview, he said swords were overdone). And neither Shirakura nor Takebe seem to have any hands on Boonboomger. Zenkai was the first show in the 5 year plan. These shows are yearly. They're not talking pre-production timelines.

I feel like Shirakura's five year plan - which started with Zenkaiger - was only maintained for a couple of years before canning it. There's no real signs of his involvement in King-Ohger or Boonboomger, so unless there's a hidden punchline to them not really being Shirakura shows, I think this is literally just a case of good shows existing on their own merit and not because of a revitalization project.

He's still on the staff at Toei just in a higher and technically more indirect role within the entire company. From Japanese Wikipedia posted:2021 - Returns to the Super Sentai series for the first time in 27 years with " Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger " and serves as the series' chief producer for the first time. He's also Chief Producer on the new 555 stuff so you may be right that his initial vision for the 5 year plan is dead, at least with him in direct control, but it's possible he still has a hand behind the scenes among his other duties now in Toei.
