And even if we judge them on initial appearances I don’t think Commander Barney here is as special and complex as you’re trying to make him look. Quote:
I will drop this if it doesn't get better soon, don't worry, but it's obvious that they only now finished their prologue and really start with the show. |

Sentai is excellent for what it is -- a fun, weekly kids show -- but you can't judge it with the same rubric you would something like War & Peace. If you do, every season would be crushed under the weight of those critical demands. Quote:
I feel it's an asinine statement. Your caveat at the end of the post basically says the only way a series can be seen as better or worse is solely on film work and production levels.
Objectivity is a difficult matter to touch down on, but your phrasing makes it come off as coming up with a quantifiable list of why X or Y series in specific is bad is a worthless effort because the franchise as a whole is subpar and the series are too similar to really make it worth it. What I'm trying to say is, since the majority of series are pretty similar in quality, our individual, subjective feelings toward small elements of those shows can make or break our enjoyment of them. I think this, in part, accounts for Sentai fans' wildly diverging opinions of which series are best. And because I think this way, I think it's important to approach those inventories of "why X or Y series are bad" with more subjectivity than you would in other franchises.

This episode again could have been split into two...one with the magistrate, then the second with the spy reveal...just again the ending of two mecha battles compressed into so little time...I kid you not, it had the same feel as a Season two episode of Power Rangers. Just a lot of good potential negated by immediate final attacks. It is incredibly anti climatic. I'm sure once we get the tenth mecha that can also use the 4 other limbs that may break it up a bit...but still...
I am hoping to get some good story from Scoprio...but where the previous had me getting happy, this just dashed it all. One thing that struck me odd...when they did the full team transformation, why did blue get out of line and stand next to Lucky? It kind of broke the balance of the line of 4 on each side flanking...just was odd to me. Well I will give this show another 5-7 episodes to convert me....hopefully with the new arc we can get some better pacing. |

This is the source: http://www.toei.co.jp/tv/kyuranger/s...9322_2686.html This is the line that mentions it: ここまでを序章とするならば、6話からは<地球解放編>とでも呼びましょうか。第1章の始まりです。 If up until now has been the prologue, shall we call episode 6 onward the "Earth Liberation" arc? This is the beginning of chapter 1. |

That's just a guess based on Japanese TV seasons (and coinciding toy quarters) running in 13 week blocks. So around 13 and 26 is a good place for the conclusion of a story arc. (if you look back, a lot of major Sentai episodes happen close to episodes 13, 26, and 39)

Sentai doesn't abide by the rules of 13 weeks though. It's a year long show so it is immune to those standards. The same goes for long running anime series like One Piece.

It's not a perfect indicator, especially with pre-2000 series, but it's consistent enough to show that Sentai operates in mostly quarterly cycles. Last edited by Kamen Rider Lucha; 03-20-2017 at 05:03 PM.. |
