I still can't get over that Nin^2 has worse Mary Sue Red issues than Shinkenger (which was literally about four people being the Red Ranger's servants), and Kyoryuger (where Daigo's canonical flaw was that he doesn't have flaws).

That's because Daigo was supportive and cool, and Shithead just doesn't appear to even notice other people.

re: Juspion.

So, earlier someone said that Megabeast empire was subbing Juspion. I looked into it and saw this:


this decided it for me. I have to see in what show the producers said "yeah, this is good and cool and makes 100% sense, let's do this."

Re: Ghost episode 1.

I can't be the only one who likes his Tokusatsu just a little bit on the cheap and lovely side, can I? It adds to the charm of it, when the costumes are a bit silly and cheap looking, and the sound mixing is a little off, and you can see the puppeteer's hand and that kinda thing.

That being said, the Ghost suit is really well made, the close up of his hand/glove showed some beautiful sturdy stitching, the suit looks like it was made for the long haul. (Which, considering the first episode final fight took place on Showa Beach and he got dumped in the water right off the bat, is a good thing.)

Trippy enough that not a single modern take has EVER managed to surpass it.


Space Sheriff Gavan is a series I truly adore and love the hell out of, with HK subs that are just kind of bad but still understandable, so this is super exciting for me.

It's also a series that is loving awful to try to marathon watch because of how much footage it recycles.

Transformation stock footage is always a little bit annoying but usually it doesn't stop the flow of an episode, and some times it can even work WITH the flow of an episode.


Gavan's transformation is fine the first few times, but HOLY poo poo it gets obnoxious over his series. There you go, having a nice fun action packed episode, and then he does an awesome pose and transforms! And then the episode stops, the narrator kicks in, and you spend TWICE AS LONG OR LONGER seeing what you've already seen.

Still some of the best Toku ever made though.

Hey! That costume and those effects cost a LOT OF MONEY you better believe we're gonna show them as often as possible to get our money's worth! You think those sets look cheap for fun? No! We took money from the set budget to make that shiny-rear end-bastard and then they told us it was barely going to be in the show! Man, you rotten kids today with your dirt bikes and and your....your... poo poo....what else do kids like these days? Yoshi? Do you know?

It would help if you asked someone involved with Gavan in any way, instead of a group of people who aren't.

I mean, it wouldn't help get them any faster, or make them like you any more, but at least you'd be pissing up the correct rope?

Aw, cut me some slack, I like pissing up ropes.

Well I guess I'll look forward to the next Ghost. I thought the series would get better upon actually explaining its plot.

But last episode was kind of waaaaaay too soon to pull the "OK I trust you and will now actually tell you the plotACK I DIED" trope. It's kind of hilariously lame.

(I also kind of wish ghost would do more with its spooky ghosts theme, toqger and drive were so wonderfully on point with trains and cars. Nothing feels all that ghostly here. Kind of hope the GHOST DIMENSION will make the ganma feel just a little more like ghosts)

It's way better than Bleach.

His transformation sequence was amazing this time. 11 and 12 have been pretty drat good.

For me After V is less about parodying Sentai directly (like Akibaranger was) and more just a literal after-work drama of these second rate heroes, and their interactions with the Evil Organization. The comedy comes from that rather than the Sentai stuff.

That said, finally seeing a full transformation and roll call was pretty great.

So it's like Sunred?

I'm very sad that ghost 13 isn't up yet, but also am hopeful that the translation team is using this extra time to get themselves some time off and really just relax. Mainly because no one ever says 'you know what guys, we know you're people to, so please just relax and thanks for doing this for us people who can't understand the language.'

So.

You know what guys? I know you're people too, so please just relax and thanks for doing this for people like me who can't understand the language of the stupid kids show that I love to watch.

In addition to Ghost, I am watching Winspector and Gavan as they are released, both of them are pretty great.
