This is it for me. There are some other reasons I do not really like it, but this isn't really a fitting place to discuss them. I don't think just diverging from Shinkenger makes it worth a watch, though I guess it wouldn't bother me so much if most of the acting was kind of eh. I only really pay attention for Gold anymore just because I love Genta too much and Antonio doesn't suck 100% for me. I'll keep watching just to compare with Shinkenger, but my sisters (12) prefer Shinkenger, and they've watched both with me. So I guess, eh.

Samurai manages to be REALLY good sometimes - but then it always seems to freak it outself out by being TOO different from Shinkenger, and thus the episode will 180 itself in to being a true Shinkenger adaption, thus ruining the show (in a sense) because it fails to make a lot of sense.
I think the acting has improved, but I'm wary for "the second season" to start. Remember when Samurai first started, all the actors made it a point to state how their characters and the Shinkenger characters are "very different" ... and yet, they've been nearly identical. Now they're saying the second season is "so much better" but I just ... don't think that's going to happen. I wish I could love Samurai - I've seen almost every episode (the Halloween and Christmas one I did not watch). It's just continually falling short for me ... and I didn't watch Shinkenger. |

I'm gonna go into the second season hopeful but I really wish they had gone with an alternative for the Shinkenger super modes. I want to see something more akin to the red ranger battlizer figure.

I just hope the Battlizer won't end up being cockpit only though, even if I don't really care for it, it'd be a waste of a cool design then. |

Oh, don't get me wrong I like the coats - I would have liked to have seen something a little different in Samurai. I agree that going back and changing it would result in a lot of new footage (and by the sounds of it Saban have their work cut out for them with the Gokaiger adaptation so no wonder they want to keep it low for Samurai) but after making (IMO) awesome mega mode costumes and have them only used for cockpit scenes, using the coats is a little disappointing.

I think the megamodes are alright, though the helmets kinda missed the mark for me (I know what they were trying to do, but it doesn't quite work for me) Which is why I like Gold's the best (I might be biased because I'm a shinkengold whore, but goddamn his Megamode is sexy)
Disappointed he didn't get a robotic version of the Sakanamaru though. That would've been even more epic than the Mega Blade toy. At least having the Mega Mode suits and using them means they weren't a total waste to make though. Maybe they'll find another use for them when they need more American footage. |

I like the Megamodes with the exception of the helmets, I just don't feel molded mouths work well with the Shinkenger/Samurai helmet design.

Oh I absolutely LOVE Gold's MegaMode. The black and no blue ... sexy. Have to say it.
