So I finally sat down and watched the first episode today. This is going to be my first time attempting to keep up with a Sentai weekly since ToQGer ended. Not that I disliked Zyuohger or Kyuranger, I just didn't have the time to keep up with them.
Anyways, my first impression of the show is pretty positive, the Lupinrangers remind me a lot of the Gokaigers and the set up is interesting enough, the fight choreography was amazing too. I think my one issue is the fact that the Lupin rangers addressed each other by name while on a mission. You'd think they would've come up with some sort of code names for each other or something. |

Okay first impressions:
There goes the budget But that said, excellent choreo that showcases why Lupinrangers are awesome. It was weird to see Yoichi Nukumizu who plays Kogure play the silent and cool type at first because I always see him play either a timid old guy or a bumbling buffoon in TV and movies, so I love that he gets to play a rather suave butler for a change. I still love Patrangers and I love Keiichiro/Patran 1. I really hope they give him a featured episode where he just goes all-out diehard badass cop during the show this year.

Finally watched the episode last night and I was quite impressed. Loved the music, the fight choreography (especially with the way the camera shot the last fight), and the story setup is interesting. I got a bit of a laugh out of the fact that all the villains just chill in this evil mafia esque mansion and that they are pretty much a mafia. The rangers are interesting and I really like the relationship (at least shown so far) between the Lupinrangers. The Patros robot is also the cutest thing I've seen in quite a while next to the Lvr1 forms in Ex-Aid. All in all, I dig it. As much as I love Sentai I've had a lot of trouble watching them as they air, a lot coming from they haven't really interested me a lot. But everything before watching the episode had my attention and after watching the episode I'm hooked for now.
Also just calling it now, the butler is the original great phantom thief.

Maybe it's the contrast with Gonza in GARO, but this butler doesn't seem friendly at all, and it feels like if it can give him a piece of the Lupin collection, he will stab you in the back without any remorse. |

We’ve seen that Ganglers can take human forms so he could also be a Gangler working his own angle. Either way, if he isn’t plotting something behind the scenes I’d be surprised. I can definitely see him as the one whom gave the VS Changer to the police.

That would be an interesting twist for sure. Heck if it turned out Dogranio was the thief and created the gang to get everything (maybe he loss them or something) back, that be a way to go.
In general though I really dig how the episode creates a lot of mystery as to what all is going on. I get the feeling much in the same way a lot of people would come up with theories or ideas as to how Gaim would go down, LVP could as well if it keeps the mystery/serial aspect going.

my kind of show though they are not technically stealing they are returning stolen property to its rightful owners. I loved the persona 5 phantom thief angle this feels very much the same vein. Just make sure to make a collectable version of the lupin collection -i love that kind of stuff

Well, technically, everything was already stolen by the original phantom thief.
They were just stolen by someone else later on.

I liked the episode too. Good action choreography. I thought the two Sentai teams would be overwhelming but it wasn't. I did like the planned alternating focus so the characterisation would not feel rush.
I still don't like the Lupinranger suits. I prefer the Patrangers'. But that Henshin, I dig it. And I liked the music too |
