Kakuranger 4-6
Jiraiya speaking in English most of the time will be forever hilarious and weird. I'm loving how after nearly every episode the narrarrator disucsses how much these guys hate eachother. They do argue and make fun of eachother a lot, but otherwise they're a pretty decent team. Not much else to say, these were pretty enjoyable episodes. Carranger 13-15 Signalman continues to be amazing. The best part is how he just stands outside his police box, waiting for something to happen with his arms folded behind his back. Just waiting for anybody to come by for him to harass about traffic violations... The episode about the lightning god guy was pretty fun too. The whole eel bit and tricking Minoru into eating it to lose his fear of lightning was amazingly stupid in the best way. And Zonette falling in love with Kyosuke is probably where the Carranger tribute on Gokaiger got some of it's inspiration from. That cockroach monster is my favorite Carranger monster so far....I loved that the entire zord fight with him was just massively pointless. |

This episode does some great things, firstly it provides us with villains who actually have a genuine plan with a level of threat to it - even if Transmission Brain looked derpy as FUCK. Then there is the fact that Megumi proves herself the smartest, most grounded member of her team. Are you feeling okay Japan? The only real criticisms with the episode, is that although the action has held up on the strength of the ideas, it felt like this episode was really powering through and there really wasn't enough going on to warrant the show rushing about like it did.

If there are no subs I just raw it since I understand enough Japanese to get through anime, toku, and simple owarai manzais.

Liveman 05. I seriously fucking love this show, it's really hard to talk about because there is honestly very few flaws to really discus.
The Livemen are both great characters, but also prove to you why they are the heroes. Yusuke and Jo are such bafoons, but they are so loveable and badass and Megumi is just... *_* Their suits and their vehicles all look great, and it's made even better because they personally made them. I don't even mind their mecha, as this was the day and age where the giant robots actually looked like robots. Meanwhile as goofy as the villains are, and as much as they are victim to the shows age, these are also sentai villains from an age where shows were allowed to be much more explicit in their darker parts so they are just great. From the human machine-gun Mazenda, to shoujo werewolf Kemp and finally the operatically insane Obler who gave up his humanity in the belief that being a monster is the ultimate evolution for humankind, they are just great. Even Gush is memorable, he does nothing, but he looks so damn cool doing it I love him all the same. Plus the monsters of the week all look great, all designed from interesting meshes of technology and organic monster parts.

This show can be so ahead of its time and so incredibly dated within the same sequence. This was a difficult watch, even with some nice character moments spotted throughout.

This episode was worth sitting through for the moment where Kemp beats the shit out of our heroes using hearts he winked from his eye, and a rainbow. It's fucking awful the rest of the time though.

Watched the first episode of Goranger and really enjoyed it. The Black Cross Army are some really cool villains and I liked the whole set up this show has. The characters are all pretty likeable and Hiroshi Miyauchi looks like he just walked off the set of Kaiketsu Zubat
Since this show came out in 1975 it got a really big budget and that shows. The action scenes and miniatures look incredible in this show and I gotta say I dig the material the suits are made off. They feel heavy and alot more like a military uniform and less like the typical sentai outfits we have today. Cant wait to dive deeper into this one |
