Liveman 11. I'm noticing that this series is a bit unconventional with the MOTW format. This episode had a monster that was under the control of another human. In an earlier episode, Mazenda used a perfume to make everybody fall in love with her while the brain beast fought. It's an interesting change of pace, but unfortunately the brain beasts sometimes get sidelined.
Also, does Gash ever NOT knock the Livemen down when he uses Giga Phantom?

I was quite productive today. First, I finally caught up on Ninninger and it was pretty mediocre overall. The "twist" with Kyuuemon was as lame as it was predictable. The forced mech battles sucked and the fact that they wasted Shrukinger's appearance on a clip show was insulting. I also thought it was lame to have Tsugomori turn out to just be Sargain 2.0, especially when his true body was the exact same costume. Oh, and it was completely pointless to resurrect Raizo. Only one more episode to go before I can mostly forget about this show.
Secondly, I watched the first 4 episodes to Changeman. Honestly, I don't have any feelings toward it. I didn't think they were great, but I didn't hate them either. I guess I just expected more out of the series that has been highly praised as being the best series from the 80s. I'm not a fan of the villain designs and I don't find Bazoo all that threatening. I'm also confused as to why there is a guy being called a princess. I mean, okay, maybe that is a woman playing him/her, but that is clearly a man's voice. I think my biggest issue is that all four episodes were pretty much the same thing over. Now you may think that sounds weird because Sentai is a formulaic show, but none of the plots stood out enough to me to be anything different and the mech battles have been a waste of time. I'm sure it will get better, because there are 51 episodes to go, but like I said, I guess my expectations were a little too high. |

Changeman is called the best from the 80's? I always thought Liveman had that title down on lock...

Yeah, I'm in the "I always hear people saying Liveman is the best of the 80s" camp as well. Though, Changeman is usually in second place

Just watched the second to last episode of Ninninger. I have mixed feelings about the episode. However, I'm really here to post about the Zyuohger preview at the end of the episode. Those suits look better and better every time I see them. However...man did the individual mecha look stupid in action. Zyuohking looked a little bit better, but he's so bulky and awkward looking...I'm not sure.

Watched some Boukenger up to episode 33, including the first movie. Zuban is a much more entertaining mascot character than, say, Daigoyo.

The best series of any decade's really mixed. I've heard normally from Japanese-English speaking fans that Changeman and Flashman are awesome, and have also heard that Liveman and Maskman are also pretty popular, but that's maybe due to availability of good subs. But I've also seen people who've thought that Liveman and Maskman were awful, and I actually know someone who thinks Turboranger's the best 80's sentai.
