Just watched the "raw" version (didn't know that was a thing till it came up as an option when typing Kyuranger into Youtube), and even though I had no real idea what was going on it was still kinda interesting. Like others have said, I definitely want the changer now... even with it's rather dissapointing handle.
Trying to not judge the characters till I can understand what is going on, but I get the distinct feeling that, much like Power Rangers, I'm going to be dissinterested in whatever is going on with the Red Ranger. I just really hope that when this inevitably gets turned into the 2019-20 PR series that we don't get yet another Red Ranger searching for their father. It's too bad BoJ doesn't make figures of the female Rangers. A figure of the Pink Ranger in her non-Ranger look would be kinda cool.

I'm going to be the first one who says he likes the ED, aren't I? Not really the song, but... I dunno, the trippiness of the visuals just made me laugh through the whole thing. It's too weird.
I'm going to have to echo the rushed feeling, it felt like important things kept getting skipped, especially where Garu's involved. Lucky too, but he's got that whole... yeah, he's kind of nuts. Not in the fun way but I feel like logic kind of breaks down in his presence. Like... did we have to make his ENTIRE character based around his luck? I mean, at least you can argue his luck isn't all good, what with continual near-death experiences, but since they only emphasize the good moments, it just makes him annoyingly cheerful. Also, am I the only one who feels that this was a bad gimmick for a lead character? Still, I like the action, especially when the team is split between mechs and foot. I'm hoping to see them really take advantage of not needing the whole team to do the big guy, lets them break up those bits of action a little more and helps the fights feel a little more chaotic. Hoping to see Lucky's, er, luck be more erratic in future as well. I'm okay with him lucking out of shit as long as he also lucks into shit as well. Maintain the balance, ya know? |

Most of this was okay, but everything that was kinda nice got completely ruined for me because Lucky. God I hate these awful screaming lunatics they stuff into a Red costume every other year. Yamato was so much better it isn’t even funny, it’s sad.
So yeah, decent premise I guess. I mean it was a disjointed mess like every first Sentai episode because they can’t throw enough toy ads at the children, this story could’ve had something if they took what happened here and split it into three episodes and had it paced better, but we all know that’s never going to happen so… meh. I’ll watch a couple more episodes but if this stays the way it is I’ll give it the middle finger and go back to hating modern Sentai again. |

I totally freaking loved this first episode. It was everything I was hoping for and more so far. Champ, Spada, and Hammy were fun in the beginning. Spada is one of my favorites so far. Love the cooking puns and everything. Garu's back story was completely awesome and I loved him believing in himself and wanting to fight. Lucky was a lot of fun and I love the random stuff that happens to him. I love the story of this right now and I can't wait for more.

Just fuck this episode. Seriously this was ok till the exposition dump that lead to the rush. By the time it got to the fight on Garu's planet I was yelling slow the fuck down. I will give this and maybe the next few episodes slack for them having to get a team of 9 together before episode 5 probably but damn this pacing was so awful. Also fuck Lucky! I would love to care about Garu but they rushed his introduction and background so quick with the hyperactive child Lucky. Damn I miss Zyuohger because their first episode was at least better paced plus didn't leave me annoyed and with a fucking headache. PLEASE DESTROY LUCKY'S CAFFEINE AND SUGAR SUPPLY FOR OUR FUCKING SANITY!!!!

This first episode felt really rushed with so much stuff thrown at you, but it's not terrible. Lucky doesn't seem all that great a protagonist, but I do like the rest of cast. For now, I'm sticking with it.

I'm watching the first subbed. I have enough thoughts to almost want to live blog it.
It's got all the heart of GoKaiger, but all the frenetic pace of ToQger. Why is Lucky screaming so much? Isn't Shogun of the Space Shogunate kind of a redundant title? Planet...JugJug? Sounds like somewhere you'd franchise a Hooters. 11 minutes in and I'm having a Kamen Rider man moment. So....many.....tropes. So....many....toys..... Red's first henshin is actually pretty spectacular. Finishers are Final Fantasy level extinction events. I can go with it. The flagship makes me miss the elegance of the GoKai Galleon. It's like a giant ice cream cone with a fist attached to it. I'm going to call it an unidentified fisting object. Is Blue's suit actually made of suede? Is suede even a henshin suit material? With a fur lined neck? Got that mecha out quick didn't they? Like no build up, just here we go. Also, they're individually piloting, instead of all together in one group. That's something we haven't seen in a while. Overall, I like it. Lots of story possibilities when you have 9-10 characters to write for for the next 49 episodes.
