Normally when a show is so completely silly, it's a bit of a turn off. But Kyoryuger really pulled it off. I had a smile on my face the whole time, so there's definitely something to be said for that. And Daigo's energy is so contagious, just watching him makes you get excited. A lot of red rangers tend to be the more serious/strong leader types, so it's nice to see someone with a more carefree attitude. He makes saving the world seem more like fun than some weighty responsibility.
Also, I've never seen a zord with as much personality as Gabutyra (or any personality for that matter). Maybe it's because I mostly watch Power Rangers as opposed to Super Sentai, but I just thought that was pretty cool. It was clear he liked Daigo from the beginning, and that Daigo was going to be Kyoryu Red, but instead of just doing the usual bit, I love the hard-to-get element that went on.

Super Sentai mecha usually have a lot more personalities than their Power Rangers counterparts. The best example of personable mecha are the Go-onger Engines, who are all individual characters in their own right. You're right though, that Gabutyra is a very memorable mecha in his own right and it's amazing how much they've done with their body language.

I enjoyed it a lot. From the brief snippets of the other guys, I enjoyed what I saw. Doc was my favourite Gokaiger, so I can see me digging Blue. I like how pink and black slide a few english phrases in to keep the idea that they're from across the world... however...
I get that it's super sentai, but why establish that the Deboss/Devoss (?) army are attacking across the globe then have them just conveniently relocate to Japan. Granted it's the first episode, for all I know they could go world hoping, which would be nice. For now though it just seemed odd and unnecessary. King is awesome though, he's an excellent Red. And the mecha being sentient is sweet too, I actually enjoyed King and Gabu's relationship more than anyone and their Buddyroid. More interactions like this would suit me fine. Also dancing to henshin is cool. I dig it. I need those weapons and batteries. Kind of reminds me of the end of Akibaranger's roll call =p |

Just to clarify, the dance I was implying was the one Daigo did to change into Kyoryured. My apologies for being not too specific.
What I felt the show had was a pinch of Battle Fever J and B-Fighter Kabuto mixed in it with each member originating from various parts of the globe. I do like how they are continuing to use outdoor miniature scenes like Go-busters did and starting out with them not being a full team from the get go felt natural since they just met.

I wrote this in notepad as I watched the episode.
You know what made me truely smile? It was when GabuTyra rose from the Volcano and began running through the Jungle.. and he wasn't CG. It was good, old-fashioned, Toei. Yes, some parts were CG. But the majority wasn't and I really appreciate that. I do. And after seeing Torin for the first time I can not wait for that eventual Figuart. He'd look amazing next to an Ankh Greeed. I'm still iffy on liking the theme song, I think it'll grow on me, but I am loving the word Voltasaur. I love that so much. I'm at at the scene after Diago brings down Gabutyra and they show the Frozen Castle. It's so nice to see Vivi found work after FFIX, I always loved him. I think I'm going to like Lakk. In fact, so far, I'm really digging the emotional enemies. Gives them personality. Well more than Messiah or War Gills. Sorry War, I'll buy your figuart but you whined far to much. I'm really hoping we have another Red and Black rivalry brewing like we had back in Jetman. So far it looks like, but we'll see. IceAge confirms it. They really stepped up the Kaiju designs for this season. They are so far above what we saw in Go-Busters, they really took their time it looks like. Love it. Am I wrong, or was there another group of footsoliders that could combine with each other to form a larger minion? I'm certain there was... I just can't remember which. Someone help me with that. Okay, that goofy heshin will take getting used to I do love a Gun-Henshin device though, I really do. Midway through the team-up fight-scene and I am loving this show. Loving the weapons, loving the actors. We might've found something I'll defend more than Tensou Sentai Goseiger. You can tell how much I loved the episode, because towards the end I stopped pausing the episode to write down what I thought. And just watched the show. It's official. We found something I love more than Goseiger. It happened! 5/5 |

You should be!
Whats even more incredable? I watched it on an OverTime sub, and still loved it. Last edited by Sentai; 02-22-2013 at 03:28 PM.. |

So I just caught this episode, and my feelings are kinda mixed. The action scenes are pretty fun, but I feel like I missed a whole ton of exposition somewhere. It just felt too rushed without explaining anything whatsoever. Why were all of the team members fighting the monsters at the beginning? Was everyone but Red a Kyoryuger already? Where did the monsters even come from? Why is the main villain guy for right now the Statue of Liberty? Why did Torin toss red a jacket so he could go into battle? And what the hell was with the heart woman?
All of that aside, I really enjoyed the fighting (especially Green), and the robo integration was a nice carry-over from Gobusters. The characters seem nice so far; I just hope they become a little more dimensional than they are right now (especially Green and Pink). It's probably just first episode blues, but it feels really obnoxious without substance right now. |
