On his jacket is a huge R, which is why I think Right fits.

I voted "Good" but I've been very generous. Here are my problems with the show (and yes only one episode so I'll keep an open mind, but I've got to vent):
1) Overly simplistic plot: So 5 childhood friends grew up to be ToQuger? To rescue other children who use their imagination to play together? How lame. Quote:
2) No character that stands out. With Gokaiger you have varying personalities, from the stoic Blue to the bumbling Green to the prim and proper Pink. Here almost all of them have the same type of characteristic, which is like happy, or naive, or simplistic. Only Green and Yellow are somewhat serious (but not by much). I don't want a team where all 5 members act essentially the same way.
In fact, it jumped out at me how well the suit actors conveyed the characters. Reminded me a lot of Gokaiger. Quote:
And anyway, seeing him in action, Shinson Jun does not come off as feminine in any way. He may look very pretty in his stage-make-up, but he reads as masculine to me. I was kinda disappointed -- was hoping for a more feminine/atypical red like Alata. Quote:
Also, he makes a little joke in the end tag credits about "left" and "right" and his name. It's translated in the Imagination-Station sub. Last edited by Kamen Rider Lucha; 02-19-2014 at 01:05 AM.. |

so after watching the OT sub I guess ill throw in my 2 cents for what I saw. id say the 1st episode was average, the plot was ridiculously simplistic and the color changing thing was just confusing as hell. and I really think they ran out of ideas with the suits and weapons and copied Go-Onger. and of course I still think ToQ-Oh is hideous and from what weve seen gets even worse when they add more to it.
I will say though, the villains designs are amazing (except for that big baby thingy) I will givie it some more time but as of now im not impressed |

Watched the first episode. Man, this show is silly. Really, really silly. I've been watching Megaranger lately and have been surprised how childish it is, but this takes it to a whole different level.
That may sound insulting, but I honestly don't mean it to be. I adore the absolutely carefree nature of the show. I think I completely fell in love with it when the villain said "I don't get it" and Pink responded "I don't either". Nothing in the show makes sense, including the color changes, but I don't think I really care. It's just non stop, insane, silliness and that light heartedness brings an amazing energy to the show. Will I adore it as much as Kyoryuger? Probably not, but I bet there won't be a single episode where I'm not having some sort of fun watching it. |

I voted "average".
In terms of a story, well, it's okay. The difference between the beginning of Kyoryuger and the beginning of ToQGer is that in Kyoryuger, you had something to make you want to watch the next episode - the identity of the other Rangers. In this show, the only cliffhanger is the ending when they're told why they were chosen, and I'm willing to bet that it's nothing as awesome as people are hoping it is. Great theme song though.

just watched episode 1
that single episode made up for the past year of terrible sentai that was kyoruger, i'm sorry, this is what i've wanted my whole life, a train sentai, and it does not dissapoint. the characters are likeable, the villians are SO BADASS LOOKING, anything involving the ressha's is breathtaking, this is train porn at its finest if the rest of the series doesn't dissapoint, this will be my all time favorite sentai, just HOLY CRAP THAT WAS SO GOOD

I just rewatched the episode with subs and I gotta say that I love it even more than watching the raw. I like Right, Hikari, and Mio even more than I did before. With the exception of Tokacchi and Kagura, they are alright characters so far for me.
I also don't understand what the Conductor is up to, but he is ooooone shady character. Can't wait for the next episode on Sunday.

I can't think of a better way to sum up how I feel about this other than with a Futurama clip.

So that happened.
I gave it an open mind, I watched the whole episode, and it wasn't bad. The crows are the best footsoldiers I've seen in a long time, Madam Noire is good, and the ToQ's aren't bad either. The switching thing is confusing as hell. And I'm sorry but that is still one weirdass looking mech. But overall I liked the first episode. Right up until the end. I get enough watching trains on television when my dad gets the remote, I don't need it in my ending credit theme to. |
