Potsticker posted:You have a lot of good points on what Wizard did that was cool. And really there are enough different tastes that I don't think there's any series that is universally reviled by everyone who posts in this thread. I have weird mixed feelings about Wizard. I think it would have been a good series if it had been kinda truncated. I feel like somebody should kind of curate the episodes that comprise the Wizard "Sizzle Reel" and just dump it down to like those 20-something episodes. The show had some really great moments. His solution for Phoenix was amazing. The first Infinity Henshin was super good. The episodes that were primarily about Beast were pretty good. It was just waaay too stretched out with every "monster of the week" being a 2-part episode with no real plot development for a lot of them. Just 2 weeks of donut jokes and rescuing a person who is at best begrudgingly along for the ride.

It's me, the giant nerd who teared up a little during the ToQ finale when Right's mom did the lantern thing. Is it still the general consensus that I should switch over to Over-Time if they decide to do Nininjer? I've been watching TV-N for years, but I feel like maybe I should change it up.

Cliff Racer posted:Because they tend to do things the same way each year. Early on there was at least some rivalry between the sixths and the main team in those first few seasons, from there it just became tradition. How is that they (with two exceptions) never had an orange ranger? Tradition. Which was the other orange?  Deka Swan?

Dammit  This reminded me that I liked GoBusters so much, you guys. I really, really liked that show, and also Beet J. Stag. Number one best robot who is kind of a dick. That show was so good that it brought be back around on the issue of a Super Sentai acknowledging the phrases "Megazord" and "It's Morphin Time".

Rei_ posted:Ryouma cutting his own brain out and putting it into a robot, Dr. Gero "how did you do that to yourself" style is one of the best god drat moments of the entire series. hahaha I forgot about that. Then, afterwards, he's just back to normal like nothing happened. Second best part of that show was also Ryouma, when he peaced out for a few episodes by escaping from his lab in a tiny rocketship, Dr. Wily style.

So, how many episodes until Nira turns out to be either a Roidmude, or working with the Roidmudes? The alternative comedy answer is that he's just a massive rear end in a top hat who wants to shut down the special cases division for unrelated reasons, and this attracts a Roidmude core that gloms onto his "bureaucratic ambition" or whatever in order to evolve.

Flameingblack posted:I don't know why there's a shocker that most Sentai revolves around red. Red has always been the leader and leading role of every single series for decades, it's like that for every single one of them. Yeah, but he's usually not such a dead-center Shonen protagonist. He's even got that "ugh, I'm so bad at school things but what I'm really good at is battling monsters" thing going. Usually when Red is a Mary Sue, he's kind of a backseat Mary Sue that plays off the rest of the team, like Daigo or Akashi.

Twelve by Pies posted:I'll always fondly remember the day I had to pause the episode of Go-Onger I was watching and google "tachi" because I had no clue what it meant and it would apparently be some sort of sin against Japan and toku to just write "and the others" in the subtitles. IIRC their Magiranger had a lot of those, too, along the lines of nii-san-tachi. Like, on the one hand, I understand that that's more specific than "you guys." On the other hand, English doesn't really ever get more specific with a group of familiar individuals than "you guys", so it's moot because you're translating to English!

Poison Mushroom posted:That's not entirely true. "The usual suspects", "my dear friends" for the especially formal (Utsuwhatshisface from Kyoryuger for example?), "X, everyone", there's a few ways to make it work depending on the speaker and what they're saying. Well, right, but I'm talking about how "Let's go, my various older siblings!" is not a sentence that anybody would utter unironically in English.

I can't play until tonight, but I might save it for tomorrow anyway so I can stream it. I'm still strongly considering weird Christian Rock sentai "Evangelical Dance Team Archanger", but I feel like I'd run out of steam after making their robot summon "Jesus, take the wheel!" I think I'd get more mileage out of something like "Fallen Star Sentai Ryuseiger" and give them all space gimmicks.

Man I just bothered glancing at the system reqs, and it looks like I can run this on my cheap-rear end windows tablet. Does Steam Cloud appear to be properly carrying save files and stuff? I might play this on my lunch breaks for the foreseeable future. e:  the only negative review on the store page right now is mad because the game contains memes and social justice.

Tae posted:How is chroma squad as an actual tactical game, rating from Front Mission to like...Pokemon Conquest. Somebody who's played more than me should probably weigh in on this, but: In the first Season, at least, it's like Baby's First Disgaea. The "Teamwork" ability especially reminds me of Disgaea, allowing multiple rangers next to an enemy to combine their attacks into a super attack, and allowing rangers to extend each others movements through acrobatic tosses.

Serperoth posted:Go-Busters can be found on Over-Time's website (over-ti.me), but you're probably wanting the batches (here for the first half and I can't find the second half for some reason). Shinkenger is not complete yet, but Over-Time is also doing that. I dunno if I would recommend Gokaiger for a newcomer, since the entire series is based on references to other sentai. It is really good, though, and Captain Marvelous is the best Shinkenger is definitely a good starting point. I enjoyed Go-Busters a lot, but it is a somewhat non-traditional sentai. I also liked basically every episode of Gogo Sentai Boukenger, and it had some of my favorite music.

OH gently caress. They should have gotten Hiro Mizushima to do it. He grew up in Switzerland and speaks fluent English, and would be constantly reminding us in our subconscious of the Best Rider
