Okay, I'm starting to think I might be cutting this show a bit too much slack. I'll just preface this by mentioning I
am
having my fun with Ryusoulger. I'm not actively upset the way this post is probably going to come off. It's just a show, right? But it's a show where I have almost nothing nice to say about its quality after nearly a month.
The lack of Kamihoriuchi here must've pushed me over the edge or something, but I'm feeling pretty nasty towards this episode even thought it was by far the best written one yet. There's an actual structure to the plot, Melto gets a bite-sized character arc (which is all I'm asking for this early), and it's about Ui, which automatically makes it way better. Mostly because Ui is the singular character in the entire show I'm actually endeared to so far.
You know who I'm especially not endeared to? The trigger-happy jerks who immediately jumped to
murdering her
as a solution to the monster of the week. I mean, what the f***? It's bad enough Towa and Bamba mostly wasted screentime in Super Sentai Strongest Battle, but their first appearance in their own show has me hating their guts. I figured they were going to be the cool, competent members of the team, but inadvertently driving a teenage girl to attempt suicide is about as incompetent as you can be when your job is protecting people.
I'm just not sure what's going on with this show or my feelings towards it. I should be happy there's some friction between the team members, because conflict spices the show up, but even though it doesn't exactly seem forced, something about the way this and almost everything else has been executed irks me. If Towa and Bamba are so happy to kill Ui here, what does that say about what they've been doing off-screen? What the heck is up with the Kishiryu running away? Why did they do that? Do they like living in caves? Did Tyramigo just really want to see a zoo?
When
did they run away? Because we never even saw that part. They were dramatically posing with everyone at the end of the premiere and then the very first seconds of the next episode they're just gone. Why did that need to be a plot point at all? Does this show have cold opens or not? Because it's done the opening three different ways in as many episodes.
I could go on like this forever. I'm not sure how much of that is nitpicking (except the bit about the opening, which is obviously not a big deal) or what, but all I can think when I watch this show is how I'd rather see them handling things then the way they are. I think the ending theme is literally the only thing in Ryusoulger that I'm completely satisfied with. I'm trying to stay upbeat about it, but if the quality keeps refusing to improve like this for much longer, it's going to become a problem.
