I actually liked Shinkenger more often than I didn't, but getting Genta and then getting a twenty episode slog of boring pointless filler, is like a steel toe cap to the balls followed by a ball of phlegm in the eye. It's a shame because the ending is pretty good, and during that slog is where most of the focus is on Juuzo in the series and he's like the main reason to watch Shinkenger in my opinion.

I dunno, I felt it wasn't until like midway through when OOO really revealed what it was all about - and when watching a show weekly that may very well be too late if you aren't feeling that first half, I was lucky I could watch half of OOO in like three days. And I personally felt Attack on Titan was a massive directionless mess.

So even if ToQger isn't really all that good, even if it isn't added to my favourites, if I'm still tuning in five months down the line, it's been a success for me.

Not only was Genta fucking awful anyway, he was completely out of place in Shinkenger. And he was so fucking loud and obnoxious, it was like trying to watch your favourite film while your kid brother screamed over the top of it for your attention. I fucking despise ShinkenGold.
I finished Shinkenger once, because of Juuzo, and have wanted to watch the show again but every time I remember the middle section I just immediately recoil in horror. Maybe someone could do a revised episode list like Kamen Rider Lucha did for Kyoryuger? He really made Kyoryuger enjoyable for me but condensing it to a greatest hits album. But honestly I just want ToQger at this point to be bearable, it doesn't even have to be good. When I was watching Kyoryuger without the hindsight to know when filler was coming so I could skip it, I found the show unbearable by the tenth episode. So if I can still tolerate this by the twenties it'll be a success for me, even if it is awful. On a more bemusing note. I'm 90% certain I know where they got the inspiration for Shinken Gold's outfit... I'm a Las Vegas native. This is our bus: This is Shiken Gold. lololololol

I don't remember Genta being all that bad, but maybe it's because I skipped the middle 20 eps.
I sure do love the ShinkenGold design and suit actor, though. Last edited by Kamen Rider Lucha; 02-21-2014 at 03:49 PM.. |

Jiro Okamoto was an interesting choice for ShinkenGold in suit. He started out just fine, but the guy has always had a bit of a belly. Athletic as heck, but I think that's the natural shape of his body. As the series moves on you start to see it appear more and more. He's much better suited for Rider or armored roles than anything that shows off the shape of his body as clearly as a Sentai suit does.
Anywho. I think the biggest problem with Genta is that nasty clash his character brings not just with the tone of the others but with the tone of the show in general. It's like someone at Toei decided that they can't have a Sentai show these days without an extremely over the top character. We already had Ryunosuke filling some of that role but the guy could at least play it serious when the situation called for it. Genta's actor, bless him, just isn't very good. And in a show like Shinkenger where the casting is better than most Sentai, he sticks out like a sore thumb. |

Oh man between how awful Genta was I totally forgot about his chubby belly haha. It was especially weird as Genta was like anorexic levels of skinny.

I loved it.
I loved how they could change they're suit colors and i especially loved the theme music, it really put me in a good mood.

Oh man, I thought I was going to hate this one because of the simpler designs.
I was wrong. I am in love with this crazy little season already. My only hope is that we see those Gabutyra train and Den-O liner become real things in another Kamen Rider/Super Sentai crossover movie. Maybe the Gabutyra Train could be in Toqger vs Kyoryuger along with arm and leg pieces based on the Travellion and Grand Liner? |
