I just think one episode isn't nearly enough to judge whether you want to watch an entire show or not. You really need more exposure to make a decision.

For Kaku, the zaniness begins by episode 3, actually.
And I don't feel that way. I've honestly never found a pilot episode that wasn't crap. Even my favorite shows (Like Gekiranger, OOO, MLP, or Teen Titans) had bad pilots (And, in Teen Titans's case, a bad first season ). I understand why you feel that way, but the mantra of "It gets better later" is universally true since, by watching one episode, I really feel you're watching the worst episode any given show can produce.

And yes I totally appreciate and understand that it may go on to be my favourite series ever. But you know what I can do in the time of twenty episodes? A whole lot of fucking things. And when I remember that, it doesn't seem worth wasting my time on a series I am half in at, when I could go now and watch the opening episode of another series love every moment, watch twenty episodes of that and love it from that very first episode.

I watched episodes 29 and 30 of Battle Fever J. Loved 29 because of the use of Miss America, Battle France and Kenya and the use of Cossack's Sais. 30 was really slow and I fell asleep during it.

What I have been watching? Hmm:
Up to episode 14 or something of Dairanger. Really digging it. Need to get back into it sometime soon. Up to episode 7 of Zyuranger. I dig it. Love Geki and can't wait till Burai shows up. Up to episode 7 of FOLLOW THE SUN (Sun Vulcan). And...as a shock to the weird people that find it boring (seriously, what is wrong with you?): I fucking love it. Its basically what Kakuranger would be if you gave it MORE craziness and cat drugs. DEFINITELY gonna finish this baby. Speaking of Kakuranger, up to episode 19 of it. I love it. I'm behind by about 6 or 7 episodes at the moment, but I'll catch up; I always do. And finally, I'm 18 episodes away from squaring away Jetman. But...I've been putting it off; mainly because I know Gai's death will break me. I'll finish it, no question, its just a matter of when. And once I'm done with that, I can marathon Gekiranger from episode 4 and get it done before the new LWW starts.

Currently watching the episodes of Zyuranger that I had skipped because I couldn't find them online back in the day. I also just started Megaranger since I've never given it a try before and I just rewatched PRiS.

I watched Episode 31 of Battle Fever J which was a great episode for Cossack, and like the last few episodes great for France and Miss America too.
Also marathoned through episodes 7-17 of Gokaiger. Man the Gokaigers are totally awesome! Joe is my favorite followed by Marvelous. UPDATE: Watched the next 2 episodes of Battle Fever J. I am really sad because of Cossack's death in Episode 33. However I can continue because I am intrigued with the new one. Also Episode 32 was good for Battle Japan

But I think it's a shame that you can compile all the main plot in 10 episodes, and the rest is stock plots (and by 10 I'm generous). I know the genra was still new at the time, and I guess what I call "stock" was perhaps used for the very first time (the parental episode, the wedding one, the vampire one(*), etc.) There's only 3 heroes (well 5, the funky boss and his daughter count as much) and they don't really get the attention they deserve. For example, here and there is a red-focused or yellow-focused episode, but the rest is generic in terms of plot or narration. Sometimes I got the impression they were testing stuff that became staple in the following years. For example, a shot of the Sun Vulcan robot turning his back to a defeated exploding giant motw was used only once. (*) fun to notice there was always a Dracula-esque vampire episode in older Sentai. |
