Finished Power Rangers Mystic Force. Not bad. Did focus a little too much on Nick as it got to the end though. Phineies was surpisingly good and nuanced for a guy who seemed like he'd be comic relief early on. Poor Madison never really got an episode that was "her" episode." Also that thing with her and Nick seemed to come out of nowhere at the end.
Really liked the Ten Terrors, wish their arc had been a few episodes longer. Well got Lost Galaxy on order, so in a week or two I'll start that. I actually watched all of that one back in the day, but this time I'm going to be smart and blog the series as I watch it. |

Hey, what do you get when you let several months worth of movies and specials pile up before watching them in one go? That's right kids, it's a Zyuohger quadruple feature!
Zyuohger the Movie - I tend to think most Sentai summer films are both very enjoyable and very forgettable, and, fitting for a series that's basically the ultimate "default" Sentai, Zyuohger's own attempt nails that feeling perfectly. I had a good time watching it, but there's not a lot to it, and I probably won't remember much about it a week from now. Zyuohger VS Ninninger - About average for a VS movie. The chemistry between the teams is pretty nice and brings to mind Carranger VS Ohranger, which I loved, but outside of that not much left a big impression. I am fond of what they did with Takaharu though. His personality is on point the whole time and the idea of his son from the future caps off his development from the show quite nicely. Zyuohger Returns - Definitely the highlight of the bunch for me. One thing I'll say upfront is that you'll be disappointed if you were hoping for any kind of serious, gritty look into the potential civil unrest caused by Zyuohger's finale. Things seem to be mostly going pretty great, and the focus here is on what the team are up to. On that front, I think it seriously delivers, tying up plenty of loose ends in the form of a somewhat stock but nevertheless entertaining tournament plot. If Misao was your favorite character from the show, I think you'll absolutely adore this one. Super Doubutsu Taisen - Being a goofy extraneous thing, I had pretty much no expectations going in, so I was actually pleasantly surprised how fun it was. It starts off looking like it'll be pretty boring, but just gets more and more delightfully crazy as it goes on.

Finished Maskman a few days ago and yeah, it's a Showa sentai alright. Had some nice fights here and there but felt kinda bland for the most time. Not to mention that Galaxy Robo kinda sucked.
Currently 4 episodes into Carranger and I'm really liking the goofy designs of the villains and their rides so far. |

Yeah, I am not a fan of Maskman at all, which sucks because I wanted to be a fan of it. I love their suits.
Anyway, I couldn't fall asleep last night so I watched the first two episode of Goggle V. They were pretty decent. This is the only Sentai series I know absolutely nothing about, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I got a laugh that the "Good" science guys have their own child slave force. It was also hysterical when the red ranger says, "This truly is evil science" when a giant Air Man looking bot appeared. All I'm hearing whenever they say evil science or dark science is, "GERMAN SCIENCE IS THE GREATEST SCIENCE IN THE WORLD!" I do hope they cut down on the time they show the mech transforming and stuff. |

Yeah, my biggest criticism with 80s Sentai is that the characters are barely ever developed. There are often times when they never really tell us why the rangers were chosen to be rangers like in Dynaman and Changeman. Okay cool, they have been given powers and were chosen, but why? What is so great about these specific individuals thay they were the ones chosen to save the world?
Why is the pink ranger in Dynaman afraid of cats? They show that she is scared of them, but they never tell us why. How any people did Biorobo actually scan? They only showed us five people being scanned, but since the second yellow exists, there were more, right? Did Biorobo just scan hundreds of people with the particles? Or did he just decide to scan a sixth person because reasons? Come to think of it, this is probably another reason why Jetman is so loved. People on here might not understand it, especially the love for Guy, but coming off the 80s Sentai with generic one dimensional good guys, a morally gray character like Guy was revolutionary. |

The missing background of the rangers isn't as much bothersome in my eyes as the boring action, especially the mech figs, which could have easily been left out in certain episodes and leave more place for actual plot. Zyuranger had some bland heroes but could make up with interesting mech fights.
As for 80s shows, at least Liveman kept me on the seat with a solid cast in the first half and Sun Vulcan with its cheesiness. I do have some hopes for Flashman and Dynaman and I'd like to check these out once they're fully subbed. |

I also liked the first three Liveman cast members, but the show really ran out of ideas for them before the halfway point. Adding in Black and Green was a terrible idea though as I found them to be uninteresting and brought the show down quite a bit. Dynaman has been fun thus far. I really wish MFC would finish it up soon so I can see the rest as I have been enjoying it a lot. The cast might be bland, but the show has a lot of energy to its name and I swear the reason Bioman barely had any cool explosions was because Dynaman took up the budget for both shows. DynaBlack is my favorite of the group (who is also in Blade and Kyoryuger). I've only seen the first 20 episodes of Flashman raw as I own the DVDs, but it seemed cool from what I recall. |

I watched episosdes 3-8 of Goggle V and there's been good things and bad things. I've been fairly entertained thus far, but it has its gripes. I don't like how pink and black don't even do anything during the mech battles. In fact, they pretty much just disappear so Red, Yellow, and Blue can combine and beat the monster. Granted, it's not like the mech battles are even remotely good, but it still sucks that they are sidelined.
The rangers are pretty bland too, but like I said, they have been entertaining episodes so I'm able to forgive them. Plus, I'm still in the first quarter of the series, so we'll see where things go from there. Oh, I have to say that I can not help but think of the words "BOMBARDMENT" whenever Goggle Yellow (and sometimes the rest) attack the villains with dodge balls. |
