I still really wish I were more excited about Ryusoulger than I am, but this little duology of episodes written by Naruhisa Arakawa and directed by Koichi Sakamoto won me over well enough.
Actually, I act like it's a big deal who's doing what, but while Sakamoto definitely worked his magic in a few places (any of those shots of KishiryuOh that involve water getting splashed on the lens come to mind), I don't actually think there's been a huge difference in style or quality between any of the different writers, which is probably a good thing.
Anyway, the thing that I liked most about these episodes were how they totally flipped the stereotypical 6th Ranger introduction arc on its head. Canalo is just a nice, environmentally conscious guy all around, who is totally sociable and more than willing to work with the other Ryusoulgers, who he can tell are obviously good guys, but it's his mentor/parental figure telling him it's a bad idea. It's a bit more of an interesting spin on that kind of conflict, and I like that Canalo showing as much resistance as he does is clearly because he values Mosa Rex's opinion that much. It's a very solid story arc, and it's nice that we got some layers to Canalo beyond looking for a girlfriend right away like this.
It's less effective than it might've been considering that we've had plenty of extra members in Sentai who aren't jerks anyway, so it's not exactly
totally
fresh, but still. I could even name a certain other Gold guy who put a twist on that idea, but that would be a cheap shot, and I'm already impressed enough Gaisorg has kept his nose out of these episodes, so I'll cut the show some slack. It also avoided making it a repeat of Towa and Bamba's arc, to the point where it's entirely possible Canalo's going to be hanging out with Koh and everyone more than they are, which is pretty impressive.
