But I prefer seeing the subs saying Marvelous-san, which matches what's coming out of her mouth. I just feel that the Japanese honorifics carry more weight and meaning than the "equivalent" titles in English.

Anywho, I don't want to start a huge derail with angst, so let's agree to disagree :)

If what you like is the honorifics, you could always get their soft-subs and edit the file beforehand. TV-N should never be someone's first choice, even if you prefer that subbing style.

Double, definitely.

Since this came up, I gotta ask. I read online, uncited, that Ankh was intended to be the final villain, but it was changed partly because children were buying Red Core Medal sets and sending them to Toei for him. :swoon: That's the cutest drat thing I've ever heard, but I don't want to share it til I know it's true. Any clue?

Never heard that one before. I meant PutoTyRa, which was an upgrade the execs came up with at the last minute, 'cause kids love dinosaurs. Originally it was going to be a combo of all the original forms.

Those of you who dropped Wizard before Beast came on really need to pick it back up. The show has been going full pace now for the last several weeks and is getting really good.

I didn't drop it because I thought it was boring, though - I dropped it because I thought it was unoriginal and boring.

Shame that the show barely seems to want him to be on it itself. Like two arcs after he showed up Haruto gained the ability to clone himself completely three times. And that's not even his final super mode. And now he has another one lined up right after Hyper Beast debuted.

Watching this and Samurai is depressing, because they're clearly trying to recapture the old shows, but just can't go it well at all.

It's weird when you see a show that has good production values, that's worse than the show where they didn't know what the hell they were doing a lot of the time.

Dunno if anyone here watches Linkara's HoPR videos but Mystic Force is up nearly a year after the previous one. Dude takes 90 minutes to say what should take 20 words or less and even then doesn't reach the right conclusion, which should simply be:

"Mystic Force had a bomb-rear end theme song and the Pink was a cute butch chick. Peace out, ya'll."

I kinda gave up on him after he spent like five minutes of the SPD one to say 'they started overusing explosions in this one, it's kind of annoying'.

Is LowVisibility any good? I listened to one episode (about Gokaiger) and couldn't stand it, but I might have just caught them in a bad moment. I'd really like to listen to a decent sentai podcast, though.

Don't watch their episode about the second half of Gobusters if you're a fan of Kibaranger, it'll piss you off.

That episode also had one other annoying thing in it, but that's probably just personal taste.

Whats that, someone who's only had an intro episode and one focus episode isn't interesting yet? I find it interesting that someone has a problem with the villains too, since they have a lot more personality than a lot of the past's villains. I dunno, maybe because I've just picked a run of shows with blander villains to watch.

It's hard to come after Enter, even when they're using Bandora's shtick.

Yeah good point, there's a ton of little eras when it comes to Sentai and Rider. If it's the multiple rider days, Kabuto probably would be your best bet.

That makes the team dynamic kind of creepy. You've got this 32-year-old family man hanging around with a 16-year-old Green and and 18-year-old Pink—he's twice the age of one of his teammates!

In Gobusters you technically had the same thing, except with a 45 year old man.

TV-N gave a direct translation, and also provided an explanation of the pun. If you're a fast reader, you can read all that in time with the episode. That said, I appreciate O-T writing English puns.

That still doesn't make it actually funny, though. You don't have to defend them on everything.

They can make it serious. It just requires a man who is not afraid to be fired and some potentially awful ideas.

They're never going to get rid of Tzachor, you might as well stop hoping. The only reason Super Megaforce is different is because that will make them more money.

Would the movie make any sense to someone who's only seen a few episodes of Go-Busters? It seems pretty great, but I'm not going to be watching the series for a while.

It doesn't really spoil anything, but it's definitely intended for people who saw the whole show. I'd leave it until you do. It's not the best showing of a lot of characters, since it's just a comedy special more or less.

The sudden silliness of the monsters after there was a train monster in like episode 4 that gathered energy by running down the track going chugga chugga chugga chugga.

Personally I thought some of Gobuster's best episodes where after the retool, and I don't even mean the finale. It really gets overblown by people.

I'd like to think what they did with Enter after the halfway point was what they intended to do from the beginning, because it was one of the best aspects of the show.

And I personally don't count those Gavan episodes as part of the show, because it almost doesn't itself.

It wasn't Gekiranger's humor that I didn't like, it was when it tried and failed to be serious that made me so intensely dislike it. From what I've heard about Go-Onger, it never tried to be serious.

It wasn't so much they were serious as the show had already made fun of that kind of hard-rear end character type with Gunpei. And then those two show up and get to be played totally straight.

For the record, I love Wizard, though I'm aware it's not really everyone's cup of tea.

However, I must point out that the Phantoms' goal is to make more Phantoms, not kill Gates. So they're not actually trying to kill a specific person.

Well yeah, technically, but turning into a Phantom basically does kill the person. What's left is something that acts like them and looks like them, but ultimately isn't them.

It would be a really creepy concept if they did much with it.

I don't know what people expected, Shinkenger was Japanese as gently caress to begin with. Even a close adaptation was gonna be pretty silly, and then they piled on the stupid FRIENDSHIP AND TEAMWORK YEAH! and ridiculous new suits specifically for megazord battles.

It being a close adaptation was pretty much the exact problem, though. People were expecting them to not do that when some members of their target audience might not know Japan exists.
