Finally watched it, and boy do I not like the CGI rangers at all. I would have rather them stick with suits. In fact, there does seem to be a suit for the pink one. I really don't know why they went this route.
The neon cpu city battleground is an interesting change. I at least respect it being different. The rest is fun and interesting otherwise. Not sure if I'm a fan of sticking with other team based forms and powerups outside of the anniversary season. It annoyed me when Ultraman kept doing it, so that part I don't like. But there's some very interesting choice otherwise and the premise of this hidden world the most people can't see if very interesting. I look forward to seeing where this takes us, in spite of its flaws. |

I'm sort of okay with the CG for two reasons. 1) I basically don't care about CG quality, 'cause it pretty much always looks like garbage and that's at least a little charming. 2) I love how unreal it makes the world? Everything about the first episode is meant to unmoor Haruka, and the viewer. Stuff getting thrown at you way too fast, hidden realities, Cube Dads, a mysterious Red who turns a life-or-death struggle into a party... and I think Kiji is along the same lines? He's like a cartoon character, and that's incredibly weird. He makes it difficult to understand if what's happening is dangerous or goofy or both, and I think that's the right tone for this episode, at a minimum. Like, him looking out of place and unconvincing... I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the point, but I definitely think there's a narrative strength to him looking so cheap.

Got around to it, and wanted to give remarks without basing them on someone else's:
- This episode has no friggin clue what it wants to be! It has too many disparate elements that only mesh at the most tangential level! The whole thing felt like a "Momotaro-Meets-Jungle Fury-Meets-They Live-Meets-OG Gridman-Meets-Anime Gridman" hodgepodge! - Sonoi seems to have a love-hate relationship with the various humans who give rise to Oni, given how he could care less for Benitsuki and Shisotsuki, but he has no problem giving rise to Kishiryuki! - So is this another Sentai where people can actually die on-screen, or is it like LuPat in that there is more to it and there will survivals toward the end? - I didn't follow the enlargement sequence into KishiryuKing. I didn't understand the text effects, but it was almost like a "Stop! Monsters Don't Die Until They're Blown Up As Giants!" process that happens almost automatically. - The sudden appearance of Zyuran isn't really a shock, but there isn't personality, so it's apparently just the basic form summoned for the sake of a power-up...and yet NOBODY QUESTIONS IT!!! Kind of implies that this happened after the appearance in Zenkaiger, regardless of the space-time rules regarding a multiverse. - Not sold on a CGI Ranger yet, but you have to accept it regardless. - Lot of zany fun, no logic. Spock wouldn't approve. |

I'm not much of a Sentai guy--really just Rider--but this show is kind of wack... the CG is terrible, though that is to be expected and I have to say it's pretty disappointing having it "borrow" so much from Zenkaiger... I get they're trying to make their own "shared universe" ala what Power Rangers has done traditionally since the beginning, but it's definitely thrown way too much of its chips in that basket.
I would've much preferred this be it's own thing (with all suit-based Sentai), and maybe had Zenkaizer & friends show up a handful of times throughout the show. Also kind of lame how the blasters/gears are just barely different from the Zenkaiger stuff. Ah well... at least Revice is great |

I took a three month Tokusatsu break from watching since I was feeling some burnout. Came back, binged the rest of Zenkaiger. Then I watched the first DonBrothers episode last night.
Mental overload is what I felt when I was done. It's cluttered to the point that I can't keep track, and even a second watch made me ask myself if I had accidentally eaten a bowl of sugar. I get the fundamentals, which is: Good guy leader: Has/brings good luck to anyone he finds, creates bonds through interactions, is possibly Mork from Ork. Bad guys: creates monsters through greedy desires (uses gears like the Greed), is already integrated into the world but hidden from all through a digital web, is willing to destroy greedy humans to power the final boss. But everything else is such a cluttered mess, the only thing that did hold it together was the directing. I know most are into episode 4, and I'll get there, but I'm literally feeling like it was oversensory noise, like watching a Bay movie. I'm not a fan of the DonBlaster either, just seems lazy to an extent. Again, I understand the why. Just trying to put my impressions into words.
