Go-Busters 34: Jin's easy-going attitude hides a dark secret, Puppetroid "partners up" with Jin and LiOh debuts!
An excellent episode, Jin is easily my favorite Go-Buster so seeing more of him is always great, his fight with Hiromu was great both choreography and character wise. RH-03 continues to get the short end of the stick and LiOh is... different, wonder what's the deal with him. |

Oh great, another episode where the villains suck people inside them to some other dimension, what is this, like the seventh time they've used this? Actually, in places, the episode seemed to try and be sort of deep and critique itself but it was just such a ludicrous story I couldn't take it seriously. The Birdcage Vagrant has to be one of the most ludicrous villains I've ever seen in sentai, ever, I love him. He's some kind of racially stereotyped alcoholic bandit birdcage, armed with a machine gun peg leg, what appears to be a sentient bus full of birds, that can drop grenades on his enemies for him and he himself has the power to turn people into birds. His backstory involves him being the ultimate warrior, with something very similar to a Rider Kick.

Anyone know where I can find the Super Hero Taisen Otsu net movie 3? I've been able to find them all except the third one.

Which one is that? TV-Nihon's torrent has them all to my knowledge.

Really, filler, this late in the game? I mean sure that Birdcage stuff was basically filler as well, but he was the coolest villain ever. This is just about Lin modelling Pot Noodles or something. I seriously don't get this shows obsession with the woman though, I really don't find her very attractive. It says a lot about Lin's character as well, specifically how weak it is, that Media Magician is able to exploit her so easily through cheesy grins and the promise of stardom. These really are probably the most unheroic sentai team ever, except Daigo, but Daigo does nothing in this show unless Kujaku is involved. Although who knew she had enough Qi to level whole cities? Holy shit. If she has that much power, and gets so routinely beaten, then how strong are the Gorma? Why haven't they completed their goals yet? Wait...what are their goals? At least Media Magician had a cool design - he was a lot like that ridiculous 6,000 year old Copy Machine woman if that wasn't stupid and shit. Although why did he bleed? And why did his shirt rip? I also like that he betrayed Gorma for Lin, died, was made large and was just automatically evil again to which no one questioned, even Lin who was apparently in love with him. Everything else in this show is so goofy, coupled by even goofier designs. I guess they kinda overdosed while creating the Birdcage Vagrant and decided to hone it back in a little. Still, the posters did turn people into vampires, so you don't have to worry about the show being serious or something crazy like that.

Go-Busters 35: LiOh's arc continues as we meet another scientist daughter, isn't she like third one in the show? Anyways she was even more blunt than Hiromu which is impressive. LiOh is revelaed to be a Buddyzord.
And I couldn't help but laugh when the girl was surprised to learn that LiOh and Ace combine, it's Sentai the robots always combine. |

Wow, Gorma love paedos, huh? A really camp, gay, cactus paedophile. This shit certainly was fucking creepy, so it succeeded there. It also centred around Daigo a lot, which is also a win in my book, although why does he have another story centred around a female with super powers? This show really needs more variation in its stories. They even managed to fit a generic green peace message in there as well. Although the lack of teamwork does kinda suck, I will say that I do like that no member of the team seems overtly stronger than the other. Usually the villain of the week is always left for Red to defeat, while the others busy themselves doing something else, but minus members like Kazu or Lin who get barely any focus in this show at all, the team has had pretty equal victory figures under their belt. And if a franchise built around teams, that rarely has teamwork at all, gives you two options - one is to have the Red drown everyone out, or two, that simply each member of the team is powerful enough to function as an individual, I'd rather have two. Although I have been fairly unimpressed with this show overall, what I will give the show, is that it has some damn impressive action. The show is about as old as me (or is it older?), and it really shows, lots of visible wires and safety equipment, lots of goofy special effects and cheap monster suits, but at the same time the sense of epic is just so well constructed here. No matter how goofy they are, they always have a huge amount of power which makes every fight and confrontation really feel like an epic, climactic battle and even though it constructs these big, explosive, crazy battles so well the show knows just as well, how to construct a thrilling and dramatic one on one showdown. I love it.

Go-Busters 36: Jealousy runs rampant, and the Buddyroids go on Strike!?
Fun episode, J antics were hilarious as always and we learn more about the functioning of the Powered Customs and the Lio Attache which can warn about the Go-Busters weaknesses, wonder waht it says about Hiromu's. With LiOh being unable to speak I guess he'll get the short end of character development. |
