It was okay, but that's about it. I kinda hoped the commander would’ve been a bit more serious, but that's obviously not the case. I think he’s fun but I wish they would’ve handled him more like Doggie Kruger, a professional leader who's not above making a good joke every now and then.
And while we're talking characters - they’re really underwhelming so far. I know we only watched three episode so far and even good seasons take longer to establish what a character is all about but I'm afraid most of the Kyurangers will be defined only through their comedic traits. I'm trying to like Hammy, I really do, but once a character says something remotely strange I can already see the camera panning over and that actress will just have to muster her terrible fake laugh again. It's not working for me.
Let’s not waste time talking about Lucky, he's space trash, so what do we have left? Champ got a little focus this episode and it was okay but I kinda wanted a bit more. The blue wolf dude already got his focus so he’s worthless now, same goes for Balance and Naga really. I hate how annoying Naga is now, they’re taking his lack of emotions too far only to get stupid comedy out of it. Balance is still Balance so that’s okay I guess, and I have nothing worthwhile to say about the rest of the characters. Except Raptor. I kinda like her. I hate that she’s a costume, I would’ve preferred an actresss with robot makeup, but she’s likable at least. She works great with the commander which is a little plus, and she was rather funny in this episode and in the preview. The Sailor Moon homage was neat.
Also, Stinger is cool; simply because he’s an obstacle instead of yet another Kyuranger they can just recruit on the spot. I’m interested to see where this goes.
Lastly, here’s something this show does right in my option: KyurenOh and the big monster battles. The robot of this season is better than ZyuohKing, he looks nicer, I love the cockpits and the way they change limbs instantly, that’s fun. And then the big fights: This show has the advantage space shows usually have, meaning that aliens who can naturally grow or are already big when they appear are much more of a natural obstacle which warrants a big robot to fight them instead of the same old "Make my monster grow"-shit. Like, I hated the Naria scenes in Zyuohger. Every time with this shit. No one wants to shoot the damn coin out of her hand and be done with it? Okay, cool…
So yeah, action is okay, robot monster fights are the best so far IMO, the rest is pretty bad. It has potential for sure; let’s hope this show can make it work soon.
