As Jetman goes on, keep your eye on the side characters. You will see a few familiar faces.

GaoRanger 24: GAOSILVER IS FREAKING SUPER COOL, AWESOME, BADASS, AND FREAKING AMAZING!!! I LOVE HIM. Okay so I might be a little excited from this episode. I just love how he felt from his hatred that he switched to wanting to help the GaoRangers and got empowered by his Power Animals. I always have loved this suit, his weapon, and his laser pool finisher is so freaking amazing. I can't wait to see more of him. Also him just slaying Master Ura in his first appearance is so fucking badass for a Sixth Ranger. I'm perfectly happy adding another Wolf to my favorites. =)
Expect GaoSilver to just to the forefront of my signature now, since it'll be for both one of my favorite Sentai Heroes and Power Rangers.

After a month I finally watched another batch of Maskman episodes. This time it was 37-42. I figured out one of the things I do not like about this show, the rangers cannot beat a monster without all five of them together. Sure, it makes sense for a team oriented series, but it leaves no room to allow a ranger to be out of the picture be it fight something else, being injured, taking care of other business, etc, that makes it quite redundant every time. That and I still fee like I know next to nothing about Momoko and Kenta. The one with X1 was pretty good though, but it feels lazy that his girlfriend, who was a pianist, was taken by Tube, and then the next episode is about a pianist that has nothing to do with the X1 plot. There was so much potential that could have been utilized here had they connected these two episodes together. Instead, they are nothing more than filler. In fact, this whole show has been filler. In the last 30 episodes I have watched , I believe only 4-5 episodes were not filler.

Well, I just finished Maskman a few moments ago (SPOILER WARNING) and I'm not really sure what to think about it. The ending just left so much to be desired that it is a shame because the last several episodes were really well done. The final battle with Zeba just felt like a generic Monster of the Week battle with a standard mech battle that nothing felt like it was an epic conclusion at all. Even the ending seems very whelming as Takeru and Ial finally get together and then she just says goodbye to him like it was nothing.
It also doesn't help that the characters received little to no development throughout the entire show. Takeru and Akira were the only ones that seemed be developed, and they had all of the best episodes. Hell, the three parter when Akira becomes Unas is probably the best arc in the entire show, but it also came in far too late to have any overall effect on the series. The biggest problem with this show is that is just repetitive to the point that the battles are not even that interesting to watch. None of the villains are given any development as they are just there, especially Okelampa who doesn't even get a story or anything. He just randomly shows up out of the blue to make a monster grow and then just disappears until the next time he needs to make a monster grow. They could have had at least one episode explaining who or what he is. Like the main fights, the mech battles are on rinse and repeat and every episode had to have one. These became the most tedious 85 seconds portions of each episode as they were just flat out boring. Overall, I am glad to have finally gotten to watch the show subbed, as there are some good moments, but with everything said and done, the ranger suits are the only highlight of the series. Everything else is as generic as you can get. Unless you are down to your last several shows to check out, I would recommend watching a different series instead of this one. Hell, if you want to see a series from the 80s, watch this one's successor Liveman, as it is far more entertaining and enjoyable. Oh yeah, dumbest moment ever. "Igam is a woman?" NO **** CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!!!! The only way you wouldn't have known that is if you were both blind and deaf. |

10 episodes into Jetman. God Ramen/Noodle Dimension was every bit as amazing as I had hoped. My only problem with this series so far is that the mech battles are so short. It doesn't make me like the series less because of the short battles, I just know i'd enjoy it even more if the battles were longer.
Anyways, since I enjoyed Jetman and Zyuranger the most so far, I'm thinking I might go back and watch an 80s Sentai next. I love the suits in Bioman and Flashman, so I'm thinking maybe them (that is, if there are subbed versions available - i'm not sure what is and what is not subbed). Any suggestions? Preferably the ones with the most likeable characters, best enemy designs, and best mecha action (and most similar to Jetman and Zyuranger). Bonus points if the main characters have outfits that are the same colors as their suits.

Also, I just looked at the list of subbed shows. Bioman is only half subbed, Flashman has 1 episode done, and Turboranger isn't even on the list. Those are the ones that stood out to me as looking the most interesting :\ I also need to go back and watch more Battle Fever J. After starting Jetman, it made me want to watch more of that series.

I'll keep that in mind. The red suit kinda bugs me, since it looks so similar to the Jetman suits, but i'll still watch it. It'd be stupid not to because of that haha.

Sun Vulcan 14. The best part was the slapstick between Vul Panther and Armadillo Monger. I was laughing my head off at it.
