Slightly related but I'm the guy who loves ryuki's ending because I love to be sad about gays.

I thought Daigo stretched the bounds of "how much can you build up and focus on the red before it becomes overbearing".

Then Takaharu came along and moved the goalposts, basically.

I think the difference between daigo and takaharu is that daigo clearly loved/adored his teammates and felt like he was their equal even as the show made him take center stage.

It's good to know I wasn't crazy when I watched the preview and said "Hey wait a second, it's that guy!"

Looking up Kyuranger stuff, I found out that Raptor 283 is voiced by the same person who played Luka from Gokaiger, which apparently makes her the second person to play a main Sentai member in two different series, after Jyunichi Haruta. So that's pretty cool.

Still curious to see how the characters in Ex-Aid have somehow managed to avoid noticing the planet being taken over by giant drill robots. :v:

She does a lot of VA work now! I don't think I've ever heard her put out a bad performance yet.

EDIT: As far as Amazons go, I feel like there is a point mid-season 1 where you can feel that they realize they have another season to work with and suddenly have to double back on the rush towards a climax they seemed to be setting up.

One thing you will think is either kind of cool or extremely frustrating is the amount of belt-swapping that goes in in Faiz. Unlike most other Riders, Faiz's belt (usually) doesn't appear out of nowhere when he wants to transform, he carries it around in a briefcase, and more people than just Takumi can and do use it.


Unless you're Female And Therefore Too Fragile.

I haven't read every review of the movie because I'm not a masochist, but the ones I've read from people who have more grounding with the source material seem to be more critical.

They go past the "haha wow this source material sure is dumb!" critique and hone in on "trini's sexuality is only included as riffing material" and other Actual Problems with the script.

Any particular good place to start with Sentai and Kamen Rider stuff? Watching the Power Rangers marathon has me intrigued.

For sentai, Gokaiger is a pretty solid starting point, as it's a much better anniversary season and can serve as a nice jumping off point for whatever other shows might interest you.

As for riders, I'd recommend a few modern shows. W, Fourze and Drive all pull from western genre fiction in a way that can help ground a new viewer.

If somebody "connects" with TVN subs that's fine but objectively they're not connecting with the spirit and intention of the original work, they're connecting with a warped interpretation of that show.

The actual Go-Rider part is clearly jammed in to an unrelated miniseries to make it movie relevant. But otherwise I had a good time with it, tvn subs and all.

They wrote off a couple other characters for the time being so it's probably them trimming down the cast for scheduling budget reasons.

I think the status quo at the end of season 2 is interesting but I didn't enjoy the journey there at all.

I can't buy into the idea that this was the only way to get to these character developments. Did we really need a whole season of a teen girl being used as a tool by men (and also having her past trauma used as motivation FOR me) only for her to be killed off before she gets any resolution of her own?
