To those who recommended I watch RPM on NetFlix: Thank you. Honestly thought I wouldn't enjoy it, but I'm loving it. The acting is great, the story's good. There's no damn comical moments yet.. Looking at you Samurai. So thank you.

Define "comical." Because RPM can be pretty funny sometimes.

RPM definitely has bursts of comedy. Its well handled though so no need to worry.

I know no series is, and I like a little comic relief. But, sorry Paul, Samurai just as to much slapstick.

Am I right in saying, though, that RPM has one of the worst openings in MMPR history? Good show, bad theme.

RPM is a fantastic show. I almost wanted to nominate it for "Let's Watch" but it's still too recent (just like MMPR is too old and too slapstick now). But glad you're enjoying the series. |

I'm not worrying. I've already watched the series.

I watched the first few episodes of RPM on Netflix and was not impressed. Seemed like it was trying entirely too hard to be Super Serious (TM), and that tone did not match the Japanese footage at all.
Alternately, I checked out the first few eps of Go-Onger (TVN sub) and really enjoyed it. It's fun and silly and entertaining. This is one case, for me anyway, where the localization failed because it was trying to make a serious show out of a fun one, rather than the usual motif of making a funny show out of a serious one. Still, it's cool that we can sit down and watch whole seasons of Power Rangers so easily (at least in the US). That's such a boon to me.

I gathered. I was talking to Sentai.
