We finally caught up on Zyuohger today and except for the clip show episode, they were great. In fact, the wedding episode was truly fantastic. There was just no freaking need to have a mech battle in that episode at all. The fight between Kubari and the pirate dude was easily the best thing that has happened with any of the villains thus far. I hope this actually goes somewhere sooner rather than later. However, the highlight was by far the Gokaiger crossover. That was great and it was nice to see the cast back. However, is it just me or did Gai never change into a different ranger? Doc was pretty much the same while Ahim seems to have lost a lot of weight in the last five series. Guess she stopped eating those cakes while in space. :-D All around they were fun episodes with a bit of plot development, so let's hope the second half of this show can really get things moving.

Anyhow, I watched a bit of Go-Busters over the weekend - 4 episodes of it. I mostly like what it's going for, but I don't like the three main characters very much. Their shared motivation and circumstances are cool, and their powers/weaknesses are a fun concept, but I don't find any of them particularly likable. That's not a ringing endorsement. I watched more Rider than Sentai over this weekend, anyhow.

Agreed. The bored commander guy doesn't help matters either. I swear that actor slept through most of the show.

I'm not very far into Go-Busters. Like 11 or 12 episodes. But Enter is the best character by a large margin. Really really solid villain.

I've also just finished episode 4 of Go-Busters but I'm really liking it a great deal. I do agree that the main stars are a weak point, but I'm not sure it's characterization that's the problem. It may just be that they're not all that charismatic as actors.

Just finished Abaranger. It had a really weak start imo but it definitely got better and grew on me. I generally don't have a problem with episodes that are reffered to as filler but in this series I do feel the over arcing plot focused were a step above the rest. (For the preceding series I felt the opposite). AbareKiller was a character that I did not think I would enjoy in the long haul. His debut was cool but he just seemed like a character with very little to him that would get tiring after a while. But he managed to prove me wrong and I really enjoyed his character and growth. Episode 48 is probably one of my favourite episodes in all of sentai. ALso that Ryoga guy was pretty cool. Might even say he's my favourite red.
Now I'm off to finish Dekaranger in my quest to watch all (subbed) sentai. |

Dekaranger is pretty good and enjoyable, but it suffers from the same problem that the characters don't develop enough. So some of them only have their quirks to go on.
While fun to watch, it was also the most forgettable series for me

I love Dekaranger, it's my gateway drug into super sentai.
Probably the coolest aspect of that show how being a Ranger can be an actual job and just about anyone can do it. |
