Larryb posted:What episode was that? I'm pretty sure the Megaranger OP is from Megaranger Vs Carranger and apparently the Gingaman theme shows up in episode 43 of its respective series. Not sure about the GoGoV or Timeranger ones though. GoGoV also showed up in its series, Episode 39 I believe. Timeranger likely showed up in the movie but I forget.

So I just watch Begins Night then i'm good right? Yep, it takes place before episodes 15 and 16. Before Episode 44 make sure to watch A to Z. Make sure to skip the stupid loving Decade part too.

Starting at Kabuto would likely be a poor idea. People say start at W but I would avoid it because it may be the best goddamned rider show there is. Maybe Black would be a good start? Black or Kuuga or Agito are probably great entrances.

Hibiki wasn't popular with kids and changed format a lot about halfway in which is why people dislike it. Decade is a loving weird mess of a character who's a smug dick and murders childhood icons for ill defined reasons.

Potsticker posted:Oh wow, that sounds pretty cool. I assume they also get more than the 2 seconds that the 2nd Delta girl gets? (Faiz spoilers) I can't remember if she dies by the end of the show because so many of the Ryusei school students end up biting it. The one who only lasts a couple seconds survives I think. She barely counts but technically I guess you could call her a female rider.

Over-Time is probably the best subbing group out right now because not a lot of sub groups actually seem to get characters right. It's just literal junk. I love that line from Marvelous in Gokaiger you mentioned and Over Time really hits the mark on making characters sound like...characters? Dairanger might be different because of how far back it is but it's legitimately a great series. Every member is quite important and the only downside is how poorly they had to shoehorn Kou into certain fight scenes. I assume since the actor was so young he couldn't film as much as the adults. Dairanger feels like it's all about growing up and growing into more than you were before. It's such a fun show with a handful of flaws, but it's totally worth the ride. Granted I think Shinkenger blows so take my word for what it's worth.  The Blackest Goon posted:Since I'm almost done, I'll go ahead and ask: Kabuto gets odd during the middle, and OOO has some writing flaws, but both of them are still fine shows. Kabuto does have one of the smuggest dicks for a protagonist you'll ever see so just be prepared for that. I've heard great things about Black as well. Personally I might suggest Agito? It's one of Inoue's best before he vomited Faiz onto people.

FortMax posted:The individual Guardian Beasts' cockpits were reused from Jetman as well. And the Turboranger cockpits were reused in Fiveman, and again for the bad-guy-bots in Jet and Zyu. It's great seeing toku shows cut as many corners as possible. I'm a big fan of when they recycle suits for monsters over and over. There's a Japanese wiki page for every time they did it but it's interesting if you can kinda parse what the lovely google translation is saying. http://www31.atwiki.jp/sentai-kaijin/pages/2102.html Kiva was really pretty bad about recycling suits which is why when they had the big Fangire armies near the end you'd only see about a dozen different ones. I guess the suits cost a lot more to make with all that pretty stained glass on them.

jivjov posted:So I decided to start watching a more vintage Sentai series and went ahead and picked Maskman; is anyone here familiar with the series? I don't think I can stick it out due to the editing. Everything is crazy jump cuts, sped up footage, and nigh-seizure-inducing screen flashes. Does this get better as the series progresses or is that just how Maskman was made? I believe it gets better but at the time Toku special effects were all about poo poo like that. It was the only way to make some of the suits look good really.

I think the most annoying thing about Operation Overdrive is how often they did that stupid effect where there was a gigantic explosion in the background and they would zoom in on it. It was the worst thing and it always lasted about the same amount of time. They did it about 3 or 4 time in that clip. I was bored once and counted in a team-up episode and they used it roughly 45 times.

I will say Megaranger was on the cutting edge of technology for its time. It may seem really hacky and dated now, but it had poo poo like digital cameras and webcams in 1997. If they did it now people would just think "Who cares? I have an iPad and can just do all of this myself."

Dexie posted:I just noticed the light Wizard of Oz references in Zyuranger. That brings me to two questions. It's probably just a coincidence. It could very well just have been a suit designer feeling like being creative with themes, or it could have been in the writer's notes because why not? Japan probably just enjoys classic movie references or something. I noticed the monsters in the latest Kyoryuger were voiced by Deka Green from Dekaranger and Ninja Blue from Kakuranger. Since Endorf created them and he's voiced by Mega Blue I hope there's some running theme where all his monsters are voiced by former sentai alumni.

Megaforce did have that monster saying the rangers had beaten his cousin previously so I mean I guess that's better than nothing. It's still really lovely and them being lazy and not wanting to use another monster suit instead though.

Twelve by Pies posted:I heard that the overall plot line was really weird in Megaforce, like Vrak "switches forms" or something when he hangs around the second set of baddies? And 15 is where Warstar is brought down, I assume that the Yuma Beasts are working for them or something? Vrak so far has used his Yuma beast form on Earth as his "Earth Armor" aside from one episode where he fought in his Warstar form on Earth because it "protected him from the monster's attacks" or some vague excuse to use the sentai footage. Right now all of the footage with the robots is reshot stuff with Vrak in his Warstar form inside the robot base with Metal Alice while cutting out footage of Robogog. Vrak's cyborg form hasn't been used yet but *spoilers for episodes yet to air* will apparently be used after the Warstar ship is destroyed with him in it and is used to replace his Warstar form. So it's all kinda convoluted and weird but it's fun to do something unique with his footage. ImpAtom posted:Bladerun's primary thing is that he is a giant prideful liar. He lies constantly about everything. He is bullshitting because that is what he does. He is the Messiah and so clearly he can't be a giant fuckup who got killed because he underestimated the UMA. He is not actually as awesome as he thinks he is but he will be hosed if he lets anyone else know that. This was always my biggest problem with Bladerun. I never saw him as amazing as he said he was and I thought the show was implying he was supposed to be that badass. The fact that he got killed by a giant giggling blob monster and his bigfoot BFF always made me roll my eyes when he came back and talked poo poo about everyone. Then that moment in his lair with the main villains showing up in spirit form to threaten him...just felt like it was cementing Bladerun as this amazing schemer. I like your view on it because I felt like that was the only way to make sense of his horseshit schemes, but then the show sort of went back and forth with him. But it was definitely a fun ride figuring out what Bladerun was up to regardless. Scratchman Apoo fucked around with this message at 07:56 on Nov 10, 2013 |

toomanyninjas posted:I've heard good things about Maskman, so I'm giving it a try. The first two episodes felt kind of bland, though. How does it get later on? Maskman gets a little better as it goes but Pre-Zyu Sentai has a distinct taste to it you have to get used to. Maskman is really solid from most all opinions so I'd say it's definitely worth sticking with. If Maskman isn't doing it for you you may want to try Flashman or Changeman instead to get into the 80's sentai spirit.

They actually end up making negative progress, because any time Haruto or Kousuke can't get to a Gate in time they just decide to save their own drat selves and become wizards. Then it turns out that was the plan all along and gently caress this show. What Dragon meant to say was "Keep feeding me and I'll become a super cool ax. Buy me kids at home!"

Monathin posted:Leangle is the worst secondary rider to appear in a Kamen Rider series, and I'm not sure anyone who's ever watched Blade (or tried to, thanks TV-N) will disagree with this. Leangle is the worst character I can remember from any Rider series from recent memory. He's as big of a dick as Kaixa and you never know if it's because he's possessed or because he's just a poo poo. By the time he actually stops being evil 20 episodes too late, he's completely unable to keep up with the guys who were actually getting upgrades. Instead of trying to go Jack Form or something he just unseals the Elephant Undead who gets killed and Mutsuki's like "Well sorry bro's guess my toys aren't gonna sell."
