Okay I've watched the first 10 episodes of Sun Vulcan now and I'm a lot more mixed on it now. There are lots of elements that are good in it, but some flaws (one particularly glaring) that are really bothering me.
The good: * The villains: I really like machine empires, so Black Magma was off to a good start. Hell Saturn is a great villain design, and I think its pretty cool they resurrected the Denziman villain as a subordinate. * Sun Vulcan Robo is really cool, even if the fact its made up of two components is completely pointless (no matter how you look at it, Bull Vulcan is a pair of legs on wheels) * The Sun Vulcan costumes, while simple, have a really nice helmet motif (even if every so often you can see a person's head behind the visor, but it was the 80s so I'll let it slide) The bad: * The fights are horribly repetitive, even for Sentai standards. Once the team have done their henshin pose (if you can call it that because the team practically never henshin onscreen) its the same fight formula until the end of the episode. * The talking dog. * And my biggest issue with the series - the main characters have practically no personality out of being "by the books super heroes". The ONLY thing I've learnt about the characters so far is that Vul Panther eats a lot of curry, and I knew that a quarter of a way into the first episode. I know more about the commander than I do about any of the Sun Vulcan team. Isn't Sun Vulcan considered to be one the best Showa era series? And if that's the case, it worries me what the other ones must be like. |

No, I think only the first 3 episodes have been subbed thus far.

I watched all the Grown Ups in Spandex releases for Jetman so far (thanks in large part to Akibaranger), and I'm actually really enjoying it. The most recent episode, not so much, but otherwise, it's a lot of fun.
Also, there's something about seeing all the mecha stuff done entirely with miniatures and optical composting that I just love. Probably nostalgia for the Showa Godzilla stuff. Downloading Liveman now, since I know Amemiya was heavily involved with it.

Finally about to finish Boukenger after having started it a long time ago. The final stretch is painfully slow and boring right now though. After the Lumeria/Natsuki arc in the late 30's the 40's have been mainly boring one-off adventures. Really looking forward to it picking back up before the climax though.
