I was excited for Megaforce. I couldn't believe how bad Samurai was, but I chalked it up to the production team getting used to the property again after getting it back from Disney, so I figured MF would be a fair sight better. I couldn't even get through the first episode when I tried to watch it :( Are they adapting Goseiger as literally as they did Shinkenger? I never watched Goseiger, so I don't know.

I've been wondering if the quality means Saban might not be able get a new season produced, but maybe worrying about the quality of the show is a 30-year-old man concern that toy sales don't care about.

Is Magiranger worth my time? I'm about to finish Shinkenger and I've already burned through Gokaiger, Jetman and Dairanger enjoying them all immensely. Despite the many and various problems with Linkara's productions I enjoy his reviews and watching the one for Mystic Force made me interested in Magiranger. That and finding out Beet Buster was one of the siblings.

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.

Well, I am not really a fan of Matt Comix or however he spells his name but Lynxara does know a lot more than most other English speaking toku fans and ever other podcast is far worse. I think they're okay but when they make a certain mistake it really grates on your nerves. I wonder why you didn't like their Gokaiger review, was it not praise-worthy enough?

I like Gokaiger, but it's not perfect so I wouldn't care either way; that it was the subject of this particular installment is incidental. They just sounded so pretentious—especially the woman, whose name I can't remember—like they were trying to elevate the discussion of a children's toy program to something far above its station. If they're not all like that I'll give it a try, but I don't want to get too talmudically ponderous about my spandex superhero shows.

If you want toku podcasts, it's either LowVisibility, Henshin Justice or the occasional SU&WT Roundtable as far as i know. There's probably more. They probably suck.

HJU radio has the complete opposite problem where large chunks of the cast just sound ENTIRELY uninformed and childish. Lynxara and Matt really seem to put the effort in, and they take it seriously. I like that, I understand if you don't, but they're still probably one of the better toku podcasts out there.

Yeah, I tried a couple of HJU's and it was great when they were talking about the show, but yeah, I completely agree with your observation. I also agree with what you say about Low Visibility's thoroughness; I guess it's more of an attitude thing I don't like. Oh well, I'LL JUST START MY OWN SENTAI PODCAST! That'll show 'em (how lame I am!).

I guess when you put it that way it makes more sense. I don't really care as much as it sounded like I did, though -- this show is too fun to nitpick things.

I was going to post something about the Green Ranger's powers being destroyed and it making more sense for him to morph into literally any of his other ranger powers, but then I thought better of being That Neckbeard.

Edit: At least it looks like they gave him the real shield this time instead of a cruddy fabric knockoff—that always bugged me as a kid.

I forgot about his clone in the 18th century. I think the Green Ranger powers were somehow reactivated for him, iirc. Well, that settles it—this guy is the clone Tommy and the Red TimeForce ranger brought him back from (California?!) Colonial Times.

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 enjoy the Space Sheriffs, so I thought I'd try another Metal Hero series to see if I would enjoy more. I'd only seen bits and pieces of Juuko B-Fighter and wasn't immediately impressed so instead I watched the first episode of Juspion. It was so awful!

It is amazing.

Just finished the first episode -- awesome; I was surprised how serious and sensible the villain's plot is. I don't remember a whole lot of VR Troopers from my mornings before school, but this looks like it'll nicely wash its taste out of my mouth (or at least half of it).

Most likely I wouldn't have tried this out on my own. Thanks for the recommendation.

Now if someone would just sub the rest of Gavan so I can upgrade from the horrible HK subs.

It really bugs me that his outfit is so unique compared to the rest of the team. If rangers 6-10 all had custom suits, I'd be okay with it, but he stands apart way too much.

I'm curious how much new suit footage they're shooting for Megaforce. Gokaiger was pretty heavy on gunplay and I don't know how well that's going to go over here. Same for Kyoryuger and the Gaburivolvers.

I'm just waiting to see how they're going to explain the black Megaforce ranger getting a green Pirate suit.

That does assume they use the pirate stuff as upgrades, rather than outright replacing the gosei suits.

From everything I've read it sure sounds like the latter. At this point Power Rangers is a fairly hilarious exercise in bad writing and worse acting, so I'm genuinely eager to see how hosed up it gets.

If you mean the fact that MagiRed is on there, that's fairly typical now, since there are Legend Sentai batteries in the gashapon line along with the regular ones, and that particular gashapon set has a MagiRed Legend Sentai battery, hence his apperance on the booklet.
