Eh, you are getting to the point of the show where I felt it dropped down in quallity A LOT.

Really? Ugh, I HATED that episode. That was the brick that broke the camels back. I quite like two episodes after that one, because it suckage of it never left me, even as cool as it was to see DekaMaster.

Just finished episode 17 of Dekaranger - possibly the biggest "what the hell am I watching?" episode of a Sentai I've ever seen. Umeko pretending to be Jasmine, the guys almost getting fried into gyoza, Umeko getting blind drunk to fight, Doggie driving PatSignal while telling the viewers never to drink and drive, the new ending with the girls singing a crappy J-Pop song in a series of vaguely fetishistic costumes...

God damn, I love this show.

Just started watching Sun Vulcan. I'm only one episode in, but I enjoyed it much more than I was expecting too. If I can get over the excessive jump cuts and repeated scenes from different angles, I think I'm really going to like this show.

I do not know why, but I have a problem really focusing on the Sentai series that are 25 minutes long. I mean, everything from Bioman on, I can pretty much sit through without an issue, but everything before (especially Dynaman) seems to be hard and I do not know why.

I'm watching Double at the moment. I'll probably go onto Amazon or Kuuga after that.
I lost interest with Liveman after the other two rangers were introduced, but I'll finish it at some point.

I'll probably start Zyuranger too, if the episodes are actually being released at a steady pace.

Hello all, I am a newb here but not to the world of Japanese awesomeness. Been a Toho fan (Godzilla) forever. As for Power Rangers I loved MMPR. While I knew that the American versions of Power Rangers were just original Super Sentai shows redone, I had never actually watched a Japanese Super Sentai show. The last American show I watched was ZEO. Now I am back to get my fix.

With that said I just got GoKaiger with all English subs and started watching it last night. I like it so far, especially the way they integrate the swords with the guns. The fact that they can change into any of the previous Rangers is the reason why I decided to make this my first viewing of a Japanese Sentai show.

I am also currently watching Spectreman (I know, hard to watch sometimes) but its bad in a good way lol.

You may want to check out GekiRanger next. It's a really good Sentai ^^

Okay I've watched the first 10 episodes of Sun Vulcan now and I'm a lot more mixed on it now. There are lots of elements that are good in it, but some flaws (one particularly glaring) that are really bothering me.

The good:
* The villains: I really like machine empires, so Black Magma was off to a good start. Hell Saturn is a great villain design, and I think its pretty cool they resurrected the Denziman villain as a subordinate.
* Sun Vulcan Robo is really cool, even if the fact its made up of two components is completely pointless (no matter how you look at it, Bull Vulcan is a pair of legs on wheels)
* The Sun Vulcan costumes, while simple, have a really nice helmet motif (even if every so often you can see a person's head behind the visor, but it was the 80s so I'll let it slide)

The bad:
* The fights are horribly repetitive, even for Sentai standards. Once the team have done their henshin pose (if you can call it that because the team practically never henshin onscreen) its the same fight formula until the end of the episode.
* The talking dog.
* And my biggest issue with the series - the main characters have practically no personality out of being "by the books super heroes". The ONLY thing I've learnt about the characters so far is that Vul Panther eats a lot of curry, and I knew that a quarter of a way into the first episode. I know more about the commander than I do about any of the Sun Vulcan team.

Isn't Sun Vulcan considered to be one the best Showa era series? And if that's the case, it worries me what the other ones must be like.

Alex, GekiRanger and DaiRanger are two of the best series fully subbed right now.
