I have to comment on Timeranger episode 38 for just being a god-tier "late-season crack episode" as I call this sort of thing. There is so much to unpack from this episode: the amusing meta-element of a Timeranger episode about filming, the fact the yearly Hubbardian hibernation actually came up again, *Providus* launching itself through the Time Gate, the random ET parody, the fact none of it was actually real. I can't cope guys, why is Timeranger so good even when it is being ridiculous? That's not even getting into the fact that the episode was somehow still in-character for everyone AND thematically relevant to Timeranger's whole "fighting fate" narrative. Just incredible. Looks like the show is going to whiplash hard in the other direction next episode with what appears to be the Ayase-pain-train continuing, which kind of makes this even funnier. I honestly find it funny how disproportionately I like this show compared to Kobayashi's other toku, especially since I have been rewatching Ryuki, which I find significantly worse despite my opinion on it being higher this time around.
By the way, if any of you are thinking "Gee GX (the super cool nickname everyone totally calls me on Tokunation), it feels like you have been watching an awful lot of tokusatsu lately", then you are right. I am watching waaaaay too much and no one can stop me.

Although I confess, I am partly thinking is there such a thing as too much tokusatsu?!

After Bouken I'll almost be finished with the shows adapted for Power Rangers.
Recently Completed Magi (Mystic Force) Go Busters (Beast Morphers) Ryu (Dino Fury) Power Rangers adapted yet to watch Ginga - Aba (Lost Galaxy - Dino Thunder) Kyo (Dino Charge) Nin (Ninja Steel) Yes there is a thing as way too many dating back to the 60s with Rider and Ultra. Then the Ranger line started in 1975. Also add to that Metal Heroes and the Space Sheriff lines and short run shows dang right too much.

Aaaaand Timeranger is finished! There's no two ways about it now, that was BY FAR my favorite Sentai. Like, that was probably a 9.5 out of 10 in my book and more or less everything I have always wanted Sentai to be. Both the heroes and villains were fantastic characters with amazing interactions with other characters. Like, legimiately I think this show had my favorite Red, Blue, Green, AND Yellow Ranger I've seen yet (sorry Yuuri, the Pink category is very competitive). The climax was AWESOME. The Dolneros just being out to get money and their interesting interactions were genuinely so interesting to watch. I also love how the show ended, with the team split apart and the future uncertain, yet it was brimming with hope at the same time. I was always really impressed with how the show would often avoid taking the easy narrative route. It could have been so easy to just drop the whole time travel intrigue aspect, or to have the characters stay in the past so the team wouldn't be broken up and the romances could be pursued. But it didn't, and that constantly impressed me. I was honestly sp cautious of this show at first, I was afraid it would collapse under the weight of its own ambition, but it really did manage to deliver on an amazing story, with thr characters both whipped about by the flow of fate and defying it in equal measure. No other Sentai is even close to this for me, and Gaoranger is going to have a real tough act to follow.

I had seen MMPR - SNS and part 1 of Dino Fury.
Right now I'm watching the shows adapted for Power Rangers first and will finish To Q , Zyu , Kyu , Lu Pat and Kira after that. Bouken nearly done. (Episode 40 of 49) Aba , Kyo and Nin are post Shout Factory.

I'm now up to episode 46 of Rysoulger and by this point, I feel like I owe Ninninger a bit of an apology.

I finished Ryu myself recently. I actually liked it honestly.
It turned out to be a strong series for plot and honestly at first I wasn't too crazy about the whole idea of using somebody's life energy to create a Minisaur but for the rest I enjoyed it.

^ The Minusaur concept is actually one of the better aspects of the series. In terms of plot, it honestly feels like the writers really have no idea what they're doing half the time and are practically making all up as they go along.
Anyway, I just finished Ryusoulger and I am happy to say it's finally onward to Mashin Sentai Kiramager. |
