Yeah. Sometimes it seems some groups bite off more than they can chew, trying to sub 4 or 5 series at once, slowing their release schedule to an abysmal rate.

After that, I might attempt to continue where I left off in Gobuster before I move on to either my Gokaiger Blu-Rays or the Jetman fansubs. |

Okie Dokie lokie. Decided to just watch Kaku as it's released rather than wait for a full series batch.
So, episode 1 thoughts. It was interesting. While I enjoyed it, I must say, I don't get the framing device of the man at the table. It's rather odd. I was thinking he'd be an episode opener and closer, then he popped up in the middle. Didn't see that coming. I love the very comic book esque feel the action scenes have, with the sound effects popping on screen. Also, I died laughing during the "Brush your teeth!" line. I have no clue why, but I found it hysterical That said, I thought I hated the foot soldiers. Then the ending MV happened. So yeah, Kakuranger. I was right. I knew I'd like it. The pilot could be better, but considering I hate pilots (Geki's included), it's off to a decent start.

That's nice. What's mildly amusing now could easily slip into the realm of obtrusive and annoying.

I also caught the first episode of Kakuranger last night. It was pretty good after all. Nothing crazy memorable to me yet but I did enjoy it.

KakuRanger is broken into essentially two acts. The first act is a more comedic approach, light hearted, with the story teller giving the stories about the Yokai and narrating the show. The second act occurs around episode 24 when the **** hits the fan and the narrator is knocked out of the show and the series takes a more serious approach for the remainder of its episodes. Sure, it still has its goofball moments, especially when it deals with Blue and Yellow, but the themes are on a darker side of the spectrum. KakuRanger is my second favorite Sentai series of all time, and I do look forward to watching it subbed when it is fully completed. |

Ah. Alright then. I'm rather curious now as to how dark it'll get.
Can't wait for more of the series to be subbed.

Also, I've seen the Xmas episode (45, I think). The framing device is gone by then at the very least. I don't like that guy either, so just knowing it goes away is helpful. PS I need to rewatch the first 4 episodes as they've changed the translation rules for the current subs. Last edited by Blade Raider; 01-19-2013 at 11:55 PM.. |

Honestly, I love the narrator. He's just so damn insane that I can't help but like him.
Plus, he fits in with the overall cheesiness that the show has at the moment. Be certain to shave daily. And always brush your teeth.
