Rei_ posted:That's like in one episode. At the very least, they acknowledge it. They also question why the zords have eyes and such on them (singe they were invented and built rather than being beings from another universe) and they also use the Go-Onger van for a few episodes.

BoutrosBoutros posted:That first video's theme is awful but still way better than the actual theme. Seriously, the fan made one sounds like it was ripped straight from 2002 but at least it is a coherent piece of music. The official one sounds like it's trying to emulate the earlier Power Rangers themes since those had more of a harder vibe compared to the fan made one. Yes it's still an incoherent pile but it's closer to the older themes than the other one.

Tae posted:I really hope they just make Gia the leader of the Pirate season or something. Well if they can find the tailors who can modify suits to their alt. gender versions, I'd totally watch that. Bringing this up makes me wonder why there was never a Gokaiger episode where the switched with each others' Rangerkeys for some reason or another.

Given that there are likely to be 10 total rangers (like Cyan who're more or less Extra Rangers), will we see a 7th on the team?

JT Smiley posted:Man, I seriously can not wait to see this trainwreck in action. Combining Gosei and Gokai together would be hard enough for competent writers, I can't even imagine what the people behind Samurai bring us. At PR level writing, it's not too hard as long as the Gosei suits are ditched. Otherwise, there'd be a lot of in suit filming done.

Burkion posted:Techincally nothing. Just because it's amazingly low budget and very crappy and has almost no redeeming qualities, doesn't exclude it from being Toku. Often, it's the reason why it IS Toku! Would Xena: Warrior Princess and The New Adventures of Hercules fall under the umbrella of Toku then? Also, I'm reminded of Mystic Knights of Tir-Na-Nog which was the American attempt at a Toku. Sadly, there's apparently no releases beyond a VHS of the original.

toomanyninjas posted:Had I written it, I would have had him pulled from various points of his timeline so he could appear as his own five-man team. Maybe they're going to have him able to use Ranger Keys to access all his old powers—I have to imagine he'll get a bigger role than some of the other cameo appearances. I'm sure if they're using the ranger keys like in Gokaiger, then they'll do a tribute team where each one is a different ranger that he played. Except maybe Turbo Red if they're devoted to sweeping it under the rug.

That henshin is a bit fruity what with it falling on their head with a bit of CG spray before unfolding. And then there's Gaim's belt which looks to have a knife on it poised to cut whatever's put in front of it (like an orange).

Scratchman Apoo posted: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. RPM did it quite a few times if I remembered correctly. They even showed how they did it in the behind the scenes episode for RPM as well.

On the newest Kyoryuger: I now wish for each one of them to have some sort of Carnival mode (which is the best and most appropriate name for the suit upgrade) and crazy train keeps rolling. On Wizard: Even in these final episodes do I feel the woe that is the wasted potential in this series' concept

If there's an episode setting up Candelira and Nossan and him being wooed by her human form before the reveal and then swearing utter revenge for toying with his innocent heart, I would be utterly satisfied.

I like Haruto and the fight choreography is actually pretty sweet but everything else around it is just not captivating. (And who is Poitrine...oh...what?) Well Beast is about as close as you can get to Gentaro unfortunately. That being said, I would watch a show featuring both of them.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:Just watched Wars Z with some friends and while it was overall enjoyable and a fun romp, the best part was Beet J Stag showing up to interrupt Beast and KyoryuGold's finisher. Even if the later was all sorts of broken canon, you would not have believed the cheering and applause. It was worth every second. I'm surprised they didn't have Beet J do his thing with Beast suddenly stopping him with his "I know what you're going to say" shtick. Also, the Kyoryugers and their energy didn't really fit in with all of the despair melodrama happening. That being said, I think they had about as much presence as the Go-Busters which wasn't much at all.

AzraelNewtype posted:Not any more. Fansubbing anime is mostly pretty dead; it's basically only weird niche things that don't get licensed that don't just get official streams so fast that nobody bothers. As such, you tend to just get people editing the official subs for minor things like typesetting or adding/removing honorifics. Some other minor things too, depending on the people responsible. There is still a site that does fansub rating/comparison, but it's increasingly irrelevant. On occasion the official Subbers get things out and out wrong (the occurrences are getting progressively rarer though), so the groups that tend to do edits of those subs pick up the slack and fix those mistakes.

I doubt they'll pull and RPM and flat-out scrap the original ideal and put in a new one. They will probably handwave any of the particular silly poo poo.

I think every one of the Main 6 Kyoryugers has a Deboss Legion member to pair up in an antagonistic relationship (with the exception of one) with the exception of Souji. Edit: Finished watching the latest episode. It's a shame that Yuuko (Nossan's sister) didn't become a Kyoryuger, but then again she was already in a sentai previously as DekaYellow which gets a nod in this episode.

What was Daigo eating during that scene, it looked like a bagel and a milk box? What is that a reference too? I was thinking the detective in Lupin, but maybe that's something else. Daigo had a milk box and some kind of bread. Maybe curry bread or something. It's probably a reference, but NOT to Zenigata.

HKR posted:It's pretty clear the reason sentai is doing bad in the ratings is because it's aired right against Pokemon. Even the subbers of the show have a hard time watching sentai live vs Pokemon. That's been the trend at least. Once Pokemon got onto the same slot as Sentai, the ratings took a huge hit. I'd theorize the slide might have been due to the release of X/Y or something but I don't know where to look at the numbers (or tell if they're the right numbers).

Larryb posted:I guess the Wizard of Oz motif for the villians in the series applies to more then just appearances then. The Scarecrow got a brain (Luckerio deciding to leave the Deboss legion), the Tin Man found his heart (Aigaron confessing to Candelira and attempting to atone for his actions) and I'm guessing eventually the Lion's going to find his courage and break free from Endolf's control. And Dorthy's gonna find her way home in the arms of Nossan . There's also the card suits theme running between the four as well: Aigaron is Spades, Candelira is Hearts, Luckerio is Diamonds I think and that leaves Dogold with Clubs.
