Wait so the discussion is here?!? I thought it was here: http://www.tokunation.com/showthread.php?t=28597
Good to see everyone's discussing it so far. I'll just repost what I said earlier with one or two additions: Quote:
I've rewatched the first few episodes of Gekiranger many times before this, and I'll continue to say that it's not the most impressive starts I've seen in Super Sentai. The characters don't feel that strong yet, on the Geki JyuKen side. Jan has to be the most annoying Red I've seen yet.
Of course, it's just the first few. While I lacked patience to continue last time, I'll make it a point to actually finish Gekiranger this time. As many have hinted, I think Rio and Mele will be the highlights of this series and I can't wait to see more of them.

I'm just assuming discussion will be on the episode announcements.

Just finished up episode 2. Jan is a hilarious freak and by God do I love him for it. Retsu reminds quite a bit of the other blue rangers in the fact of him being quite smart as well as serious. But like most of that type, he seems to have some form of a goofy side to him. I can't say a whole lot about Ran yet other then, kawaii.
Robotuff already seems funny as Hell to me (although not as funny as Navi or Alpha). Cat (yes I'm calling him cat) is pretty enjoyable as well. And as I'm sure to say later in in the discussions, Mele!! GekiTouja is pretty cool looking albeit a little simple. But non the less, it's still a nice mecha design. Although that final attack makes me wonder how dizzy they'd get on a daily basis. All in all, episode 2 was pretty neat. P.S. I love having commentary during the fight.

Watched the third episode, I did enjoy it quite a bit. The dust cloth training concept was superior to the identical version in Jungle Fury.
I'm beginning to see the personalities of the main cast emerge and the mecha battles remain really cool. Next few episodes promise to be even more exciting so I'm looking forward to them.

This is what I said in the other thread after seeing the first episode:
Quote:
I watched the first episode last night. It was alright. I wasn't as enthralled with it as I was the first episode of Shinkenger, but I also wasn't as turned off by it as I was the first episode of Dekarange.
Theme song is pretty enjoyable, that chameleon chick is pretty hot, the rangers seemed cool so far, the action was good. Jan is a spaz aproaching the annoyance level of Ban. It really confused me though, because he looks all serious in the opening credits, then turned out to be jungle-spaz-boy. Also, wtf is up with the hideous puppet creatures? The ridiculous level of fakeness of Doggy from Dekaranger annoyed me, but this cat creature, what's his name, Shifu? It terrifies me. It's so ridiculous looking, the mouth is barely articulated, his paws are freakish small, and everytime it opened its eyes and stared into the camera I felt it trying to steal my soul. I'm honestly thankful I didn't have nightmares last night. But other than that, it was not bad. The minions hopping around looks stupid, but the fight choreography was interesting enough they didn't bother me too much. I look forward to seeing where the show goes. I just hope that cat-demon isn't featured much. Mele is very hot. Can I join the evil team? Jan wasn't quite as spastic these episodes, I hope he calms down a little more though. But really my main problem is how serious he looks in the opening sequence, but his face is never that calm or focused in the episode. I really enjoy the martial arts, and the mecha fights are good so far. I don't mind the commentary, but I don't like the fly. So far I like director whatshername, and Ran and Retsu. Did I mention that Mele is hot? Ran isn't bad either. So far, I don't like the mech designs. I tend to not be a fan of mecha-beasts that turn into full on humanoid robots. I don't hate GekiTouja, it's certainly not a deal breaker, but it's nowhere as cool as Shinkenoh, or DekaRobo, or Daibouken, in my opinion. But I'm enjoying the series, it's fun, and I'm definitely along for the rest of the ride. And I want GekiRanger figuarts now. Oh, and 5 second advert at the end of the episode for Den-O made me sad that I wasn't watching Den-O. I love that show. |

Xia Fu is by far my least favorite part of the show. It's mostly the creepy too-long arms with the tiny little paw hands. Something about them just wigs me the fuck out.

I tackled the first 3 episodes over the weekend. And every moment reminded me of why I love this show so much. I don't think any other Sentai will overtake it. I hope Akibranger Season 2 uses the Gekiranger Inordinate Power so we can get started on those figuarts. Still waiting for the release of Rio and Mele.

I know, right? And it doesn't even make sense. The arms are just long so that the suit actor can have full sleeves and hold onto the paw hands. But for some reason it just looks wrong and creepy as all fuck.
