I'll try to check it out for a bit, or at least the twitter feed.

Was relatively fun all things considering. Footage trivia and how the Youkai were or were not used in PR was quite succinct and informative. Problem: They used Kakuranger! Between the tweets and commentary, the assessment from the early episodes made the team seem more villainous than the Youkai! There was unnecessary perversion, running from cops, and blowing-up otherwise tragic characters! Some Youkai really did just want theirs! They did add a bonus episode, by the way. They also gave away Carranger sets to those who could answer trivia questions. No mention of Megaranger or Gingaman!

Well, that was fun. I generally liked watching Kakuranger. It's corny as all hell but that's what makes it so enjoyable to watch, for me at least.
It got some genuine laughs out of me when the Eyeball Yokai immediately took Tsuruhime to court after she wanted a divorce or when the Cat Yokai started her silly singing routine. I didn't get to know the characters very much and I kinda doubt that this is a show where character development matters but I like these guys. I didn't even know that the Red Ranger isn't actually the leader in this one, that's kinda new to me as someone who only knows new-age Sentai shows. All in all, I think this was great. I didn't care much for the segments in between with the guys talking but it was not a terrible setup. But it still made me want to buy the show so I guess that's what I'll do now. Also, I had never seen Muteki Shogun before, I only knew the Power Rangers Ninja Zord which is apparently the last mecha the Kakurangers get, but man I love this one. First of all the idea that the Rangers basically "transform" into their individual mechas is nice, and I like their gimmicks. Muteki Shogun himself looks great, I love the castle theme and his sword is badass. I made the mistake of looking up the toy, it looks really nice, I kinda want one. But that's pretty costly and the American version seems to have swaped the white color for pink on their toy (meh). I guess I'll wait and see if they make a new one sometime in the future, I can wait. |

Yeah, the marathon was really fun. I enjoyed the segments between episodes, hearing their thoughts, and I loved the comparision stuff. I do wish August had been on it though. Still, the hosts were fun.
My only complaint is the way they did the contest. Yeah, I'm not sure how else they could have done it, but my feed was clearly behind other people's because I would post the answer to their question as soon as I heard it, but there were already like 10+ others before me who already responded, some from 45 seconds ago. Sure, I already have Carranger, but it would have been nice to have gotten a free copy to give away at a con panel without paying for it. Kiwami, three of the five rangers do get massive development as the show progresses. Hell, Sasuke also gets the first ever Sentai episode with only one ranger. TokuKnight, since they had already announced Megaranger there probably wasn't a need to. BTW, did anyone else notice that their Kakuranger commercial advertised them as battling the Machine Empire? |
