Started Gokaiger this morning because I woke up super early for some reason, and was bored. I love the suit designs and thought the anniversary stuff was cool, so i've been wanting to watch Gokaiger for a while. However, I kept telling myself that I should watch the past series before Gokaiger so I could fully appreciate the anniversary stuff. So I tried watching a few other series, and just found myself bored. 5 episodes into Battle Fever J (which I did enjoy so far) I started thinking that maybe I should just give up, since at the rate I was going i'd NEVER get to see Gokaiger (or ToQger, which i've been avoiding since I wanted to watch the series included in Gokaiger first).
So this morning, I was laying in my bed at 7 am, bored, thinking to myself "why don't I just start Gokaiger?" so I did, and i'm glad I did. 4 episodes in and i've been enjoying it so far. This is the first post-90s Sentai i've seen, so i'm enjoying the quicker pace (it's easier to stay interested) but I HATE the CGI. Part of what I like about Sentai (and Toku in general) is seeing the monster and mecha suits, so making half of the fights in CGI kinda defeats the purpose. I also kinda wish there were less Gokai changes. As much as I enjoy seeing all the past suits, I do really like the Gokaiger suits, and wish I could see them in action more. Wow, this ended up a lot longer than I thought.... TL;DR: Started Gokaiger after putting it off for a bit. Enjoying it so far, but I wish there was less CGI and more screen time for the actual Gokaiger suits. I'm just debating whether I should keep watching it again now...my girlfriend is asleep.

I´ve not watched a super sentai for like 5 months... but megaranger looks promising out. But I had to wait for the exam to be over which is like 2 weeks, so I don´t have to be worried about that
But I've been wanting to watch Gokaiger for a really long time because I really want to see more of the past sentai before I went on to see Gokaiger!! |

Here we Goseiger again 01. Moune's first haircut was wonderful.
This episode is a really strong introductory episode but most episodes of toku start with a bang. What I like is it pretty firmly establishes it isn't going to be exactly like the seasons that came before it, especially when it comes to Alata who is my all time favourite red but isn't your most obvious choice for that kind of character. Also didn't notice the emphasis on the wound the first time around, I love how even though Dereputa is a relatively short lived villain that first strike is called back to throughout the show. Shame it couldn't have been something more substantial, or at least birthed from a more epic moment. The introduction before the credits is extremely rushed given how important it is to the story overall. Even if the card gimmick thing is awkward and the computer generated effects are kinda dull, the action is incredibly flashy. I can't think of another sentai series where the suit actors had this much individual personality, especially GoseiBlack who I like more than Agri himself, who especially at the start of the series, is a bit of a dick. The monster designs are also great. This is the best Brajira will look for the whole series, with the final form being the only one that appeals to me in a way that even touches his Bladerun form.

I watched the fourth episode of Toqger.
This episode made me like Tokatti and Mio. That ending was funny.

Wrote some long ass post about Goseiger 2 before Windows forced an update and stole everything but the TL;DR was basically "Agri is a dick but that is a really cool giant robot".

I (finally) got round to watching the Kyoryuger Musical Movie thing... it was strange, to say the least. Good, but strange. I feel that it need more time to explain where the hell Deathryuger came from (more than "He's the knight of ferocity, shut up"), who his servants were, and where the hell Utchi was for the first bloody half (although that was all forgiven when Pteragordon used his goggles. Which were awesome). Also (shipping ahoy) I feel Daigo should have got with what's-her-name... Mikoto, right... instead of Amy. That was so forced, it still hurts. But Tobaspino was cool. Makes me wish he had appeared more than twice in series with no explanation for where he went. Now, we wait for the subs for the Galaxy Line and World Cup Gaim! (And Kamen Rider Taisen, but I don't have high hopes for that)

Picked up my Go-Busters rewatch again and as it stands now my original stance on the show hasnt really changed. I like the first 14 episodes or so even more than when it first aired but the rest is pretty much as I remembered it to be. Jin and J are great as are Ryuji and Enter. Hiromu is a decent red but nothing spectacular. Yoko and Escape are boring as hell though. The show doesnt really gain anything through there existence. Especiially Escape is a damn useless character all things considered. She is pretty to look at and has some cool fight scenes but beyond that she is just absolutely superfluous.
The Action and evetrything else the show has going on visually is still a blast to watch and probably the strongest aspect of the whole show. |

Here were Goseiger again 03.
Is it a prerequisite for Landics to be rude? I mean you can't pronounce it without "dick"... Oh well, this is the episode where we find out Moune has no hope as the star striker for the Gosei Girls Football team and I realised that the blend of black, white and gold for GoseiBlack makes for one of the most gorgeous sentai suits in recent times. The designs are so regal anyway, but the colours for Hyde make him look like he's a Dinner Suit but kicking bullets away and fighting with an axe like it's a dagger FUCK YEAH. It's funny how badass Hyde is in this show, considering on paper he should be the weakest. Not only does he not have a partner, but since he needs a body of water to utilise his abilities he doesn't have the same versatility as the others. I forgot how much individual identity the heroes had at the start, it's a shame a lot of this gets diluted when they become a team. After these early episodes the differences between them are only really brought up in specific moments. Still they have an unconventional team dynamic all the way through, at least. This weeks Warstar had a pretty cool design and he got an above average send off in the mech portion but the Henshin Hero action scenes were good if nothing spectacular. It isn't to say there weren't cool moments, but I just don't think Goseiger has particularly good effects. When it isn't looking dull, it just looks pretty cheap.
