I guess they ran out of actual historical figures already. Understandable, as it isn't like there are a whole lot of notable dead people to draw from.

The 4th eyecon will be goku.

I kind of suspect they're pulling a YuYu Hakusho/Bleach and Takeru will be resurrected partway through the series, but keep fighting the Ganma out of a sense of duty or something.

The only problem i had with ghost episode 3 is the horrible wire work while he's floating he was basically dangling on the wires and lightly bumping into the ganma it was awful.

Man, I totally forgot about that. That was TERRIBLE.

It's not important to the plot, but you get more Genta.

The movie is okay, but it's also canon. Sort of. Takeru gets a new toy that shows up again later in the main show.

I don't think there really is. Fourze has Cosmic, but Double has that monstrosity that looks like it had sex with a Ganbaride machine. Meanwhile, W has Xtreme, which is just kind of boring.

Larryb posted:

Exactly. He's been working with an actual translator since the group was offically formed (Said translator as I understand it has also worked with groups such as GUIS and Hikari-Senshi) so however bad the Gekiranger scrubs were, there is nothing objectively wrong with their Abaranger or GoGoV subs so if you want to check those series' out watching the IS subs isn't the worst option you could take (in fact, they're pretty much in the same style as Overtime's subs, albeit to a slightly lesser extent).

Fair enough!

SpiderHyphenMan posted:

Shinkenger, Goseiger, Gokaiger, and Go-Busters all have some of the best final battles, in terms of action alone, in the franchise (I watched all of them five years ago on YouTube before they were taken down for copyright), which makes it a real shame that Kyoryuger and ToQger went with "RED GETS ALL THE CREDIT! SOLO SHOT!" and Ninninger is probably gonna do the same thing :(.

I still give ToQ more points in that regard, because it was more thematically set up over the previous arc and ToQ Rainbow was awesome.

Actually, that kinda annoyed me. And I don't think Shinkenblue had any real reason to be involved.

Ryuunosuke was part of the team and honestly the closest to a second in command. I thought it kind of fit since part of Takeru's character arc was learning to accept help and not do everything by himself.

Poison Mushroom posted:

Agreeing with just about everyone on the page, RE: Daigo. Shinkenger's another great example of a sentai series that made the Red the center of the universe, but actually managed to sell it. Takeru was an arrogant rear end in a top hat, sure, but he was an arrogant rear end in a top hat with issues.

And it was pretty great that half the team bought into his arrogance entirely and the other half not only didn't care, but actively challenged his superiority and tried to ground him.

The Power Rangers talk reminds me of an alleged script and the like that had come out referencing Power Rider Apollo (adapting Fourze), which had Shun ("Clutch") rapping with Jake on the weekends, and Ohsugi's only casting direction being "Looking for Steve Buscemi-type".

It was an April Fools joke, however :(

Didn't that also involve the head cheerleader updating her Tumblr and the Cancer guy having literal cancer?

Has Ghost gotten really as bad to be compared to Wizard? Fourze and Drive were both pretty good, though, I agree.

No, Ghost is markedly better than Wizard.

I was making the analogy of skipping a series that's widely considered really good to watch one that's much worse.

Meteor has two major problems.

His arc takes for-loving-ever and it eats the show while it is going on. Just a small eternity of him being a secret poo poo and the show focusing on it instead of anything else. The other is that he really is a light rehash of Accel but executed more poorly, right down to his secret mentor actually being one of the villains seeking to drive the heroes to embrace the dark side in order to defeat the unstoppable chairman.

Oh, wait, and his upgrade is absolutely hideous so that's three problems.

The fact that they actually had the narration called the show Kamen Rider Meteor at one point is saying something.
