What's going on with Megaforce, anyway? Have they just stopped airing it?

I'm really looking forward to seeing how they get these wooden kids to go from 'Teenagers with(out) Attitude' to 'ARR ME HEARTIES BUCCANEERS'.

I'm not entirely sure how, but I've been watching a fuckload of Go-Busters over the past week or so. It's really good, but I can see how it might be lard to localise.

How, exactly? Nothing is really japanese about it or the storyline. The biggest hurdle is making a villain anywhere near as good as Enter.

I agree, Enter is tres bien.

I think the difficulty is going to come from working out a way to include Buddyroids that doesn't come across as ham-fisted, and likely from strangling a show name out of the GB initials that appear on most of their stuff.

Jesus, going back to Megaforce after Go Busters gave me whiplash. How on earth did Troy get more wooden? Where did those elemental powers come from? Why don't the names on the cards match the names they use on the show?

Robo Knight is kind of stupid in a good way, at least.

From what I've heard, they're pretty poo poo actors too. It's just that the language barrier masks the poo poo. The writing can be good in PR, but it depends on how much they have to adapt from the original and who's actually writing.

I'm still watching Go-Busters and the acting really isn't much to write home about except for Jin and Enter, who are amazing.

SpiderHyphenMan posted:

Go-Busters owns, but Shinkenger owns slightly harder. Tolerate the poo poo subs and watch it.

I finished Shinkenger last night and have to disagree. The appeal of Go Busters for me was that it kind of subverted some of the tropes of Sentai/PR shows - monsters didn't die and suddenly become huge, the big bad wasn't a guy in a rubber suit, the giant robots made a bit of sense, etc. Shinkenger was good, but it fell into all of those tropes, and the sixth ranger and his annoying loving lantern thing didn't help. The final fight with Juzo was cool, and I did enjoy the bait-and-switch with Takeru, but it was nowhere near Go Busters for me.

SpiderHyphenMan posted:

Takeru is a legitimately compelling and fascinating character, which is amazing because he spends half his screentime swinging plastic toys around.

To make an analogy, I feel that Shinkenger is basically Ocarina of Time, while Go-Busters is more like Majora's Mask.

That is an incredibly nerdy analogy that I am 100% behind, because Majora's Mask was one of my favourite games ever made.

I have to admit I did enjoy Takeru a lot. He didn't get weighed down by too much hero pathos bullshit, and he kept his aloofness pretty much throughout.

Go Busters was amazing, though. gently caress I miss Beet J Stag.

Go-Busters would certainly support 40 PR episodes. But let's be honest, any adaptation is going to be disappointing. It was almost perfect.

I can see them using Go Busters as some allied rangers or something in Dino Samba, if we're lucky. Between the Buddyroids, the morphing footage, the villains, the rangers literally slitting the throats of those mook guys, Blue Buster breaking a monster over his knee, Red Buster's cock issue, and the later monsters literally having MESSIAH painted on their limbs, Go Busters was always going to be a struggle to localise.

Why have I never bothered to check out the sentai before! Can't I just pretend that we lost the Megaforce rangers in the invasion and then these guys subsequently appear?

If you're starting with Sentai, try and watch Shinkenger or Go Busters. Toei's gone on a copyright takedown binge on YouTube recently but stuff is slowly coming back.

SpiderHyphenMan posted:

Shinkenger will spoil you with how amazing it is, despite the fact that the only people who have subbed it suck at their jobs, and around half of what makes Go-Busters great depends on you having seen at least one previous Sentai (preferably more than one.) I recommend Kyoryuger, which literally just finished and is a solid, consistently awesome show.
Don't watch Shinkenger before Gokaiger, unless for some godawful reason you watched all of Samurai without watching Shinkenger, in which case I legitimately pity you.

Yeah actually Kyoruger is a solid starting point as well. Legit looking forward to the final episode and movie. I started with Go Busters after not having watched PR in years and it totally worked, because Go Busters is perfect.

Is it Saban's or Nickelodeon's fault that Megaforce is the mess that is?

I'm not across it enough to know, but it's such a boneheaded move. Japan gives you this gold-plated gift of a SPACE pirate-themed show with opportunities to do callbacks to classic series, and what do you do? Downplay the pirate theme. I guess kids didn't actually like Pirates of the Caribbean after all.

I mean, you could have some incredible fun with just the image of a huge red flying pirate ship. But nope.
