Cliff Racer posted:ToQger a poop. Four episodes after the Food Analogy the rest of his siblings got the crap beat out of them by Raizou Gabi, an already extremely hurt Takaharu showed up and they went 'We were waiting for you Taka!' he then stomped on Gabi's face by himself while they killed mooks. A more recent episode involved Takaharu growing to Giant Size and by himself taking out the Monster without even needing a Ninja Ally besides Shinobimaru. The show has gotten better but there's no certainty that it's gonna stay that way, and that's what I mean by a constant struggle. At any point it could pull a complete 180 again.

Plus he wasn't just the hotblooded idiot trope played straight as an arrow. Around Episode 33 of ToQger was when Right and Hikari had a Karate Contest to see who could beat the poo poo out of the most minions untransformed. Hikari won and Right at the end was trying to make excuses for why he actually won while everyone laughed at him. That scene in Nininger would be Takaharu literally beating all the others combined.

I think this episode marks the first time except for like literally episode 1 where they actually did the full 5 man Fury Slashes finisher instead of some Variation of 'Takaharu + Extra'. Other then that... The other bad guys find out Kyuuemon has been screwing them over, and in response do....absolutely nothing to him. Despite very clearly acknowledging he's been killing their subordinates and stealing them out from under them, they're just like 'eh whatever.' Today's lesson was I am pretty sure something Nagi learned in one of the early Episodes too 'you should be more like Takaharu and just DO things.'. I mean it was less obvious this time, but still like, why? Takaharu has generally been super dumb, but this time he figures out the 'trick' to getting the new Mecha. Very odd. Rip Quebely. Next episode looks dumb in a good way. Edit; holy like like 12 people just straight up died in Ghost in like the first three minutes.

I can agree that it felt a little rushed. I know this is gonna get people angry with me, but I think it would have worked better as a 2 Parter to stretch it out some. This Ghost is totally different from the Cameo in Drive 47/48 though, that dude seemed competent and capable, instead of kind of...bumbling? I dunno. He also fights super differently. I liked his flowing fighting stuff way better then the tumbling around; he's worse at being bad at fighting then Eiji was at the start, so it just feels weird.

I still think Ghost's Major issue is just that it needs to slow down. Like this show is gonna last 48 episodes. They could slow down a bit and really show things. Right now it's just super frantic; Takeru gets Edison form for all of 3 seconds to instantly preform a finishing move. Like, I get they need to get the toys onto the show but still. I think the show can still be good though, tbh. Like it's getting a slightly rocky start but I think it can go places. EDIT: Also Ninninger gets like 3 lovely Takaharu episodes after this amazing episode this week. It's so sad that they clearly can make good episodes but just generally don't.

That looks goddamn amazing. Also curious what's up with Negadrive. I was almost hoping for some kind of special Ultra Super Mode Drive like with W and Kiva but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen, probably a Ghost Shift Car instead? should still be neat. Also what is After V even like? Is it like Cheers but the main characters are the Power Rangers? That's what it sounded like from what I read of the summary, basically a show where it's like a sit-com that mostly happens in a bar but revolves around people whose day job is beating up monsters?

I liked the Dinocharge Blue cameo. I also liked how he was rescued by Yakamo. Blue Ranger Solidarity. Was this Jiraya show any good? It seems pretty old school, but like, in a good way, not in a bad way So Kyuuemon basically pretended to be dead for a grand total of like two weeks. I'm glad we got exactly two weeks of other people doing stuff before Kyuuemon came back

No I absolutely agree that it feels like we're going at breakneck pace, which is just weird. I guess they're desperately trying to get the first batch of toys out, and it might slow down after that, but it's still weird. Like the fight with Hatchet Horse Man showed that like, choreography isn't going to be an issue if they just let the fighting happen instead of having five second fights where someone runs away. It looked really loving nice when they let it occur. I also liked the giant rear end bow thing, probably liked it too much given it was like 'hey buy this thing then by this other thing and you can make this', but it still looked nice.

so for people who are aware of things like the toys; does the DX Gan Gan saber for Ghost actually do all the transformations that it has in the show, or is each mode a completely different toy?

Blaze Dragon posted:It can switch between four modes by itself (sword, gun, double sword and...rod or something?), but for the rest of the modes (like bow) it needs other toys to link up with. I think the Rod is the Naginata from this episode? Unless Double Sword is that? Pretty interesting it has that much functionality, I'd have imagined it'd be a different thing for each one.

I ordered my first Mechandise today; A Dragonfruit Lockseed, and a like $30 package of a Melon and Durian Lockseed; like in little individual packages I'm pretty sure the second thing is going to be a rip off because it was both cheap and the Melon and Durian Lockseeds were sold with other sets of toys I really didn't want but I have accepted that. I just really wanted a Melon Lockseed without getting the silly sword.

Justin_Brett posted:I kinda liked that Takeru actually got scared of Spectre. It's something different from usual, and it makes sense, since he's basically stealing the things Takeru needs to not die. It definitely won't last but it was a good character moment. Yeah there is something both endearing in a 'this isn't something I've seen often' way and kind of neat at Takeru recklessly charging the monster going 'I HAVE TO HURRY BEFORE HE SHOWS UP'; he's not angry or determined or anything, he's basically a cornered rat trying to escape something he knows is coming. Then Spectre shows up and beats the poo poo out of him in like a minute and leaves him on the ground in pain.

That reminds me that I am not sure; do we really know how kids in Japan feel about Toku stuff? Like that's the target audience. Most people in this thread have serious issues with how Takaharu is portrayed, but is that matched in Japan? Like do they actually find Ninninger's protagonists interesting or something?

All Ganma have belts like that. The stuff with Old Man just makes me more confused what the difference is between making an Advanced Ganma and a Ghost is. Apparently Advanced Ganma are Blank Eyecon + Historically Significant Object, a Non-Ganma Ghost is Historically Significant Object + Fufilled Desire/Reaffirmed Ideal, and a Ganma Ghost is Historically Significant Object + Suicidal Desire for an ideal?

I can't stand bald monk dude, the villains haven't gotten any real development yet, and overall I'm just tuning in for the fights. this is kind of some of the issue I'm having. The show feels so fast paced that the fights are good but have no time to really expand. This week's fight with Spectre and Ghost was really loving good, but it was also like the longest fight the show has had.

I mean, it isn't like any of his knowledge of the supernatural is even remotely relevant. So, he repeatedly serves as a plot device to bring the rider together with the ghost he is supposed to fight. yeah no one seems to be noting in the show itself that the person doing 90% of the legwork on this poo poo is Onari. It's a little strange.

deadly_pudding posted:My only real issue with Ghost is that he's the least proactive Rider of all time. He's supposed to be looking for heroic Eyecons on a pretty gross time limit, right? Instead, he sits around for weeks until somebody shows up at his house with a ghost problem, and fights a Ganma, which by sheer coincidence ends up summoning a Heroic Soul. It is apparently called 'Tokon Boost', and it's a more red version of his base form.
