The only thing I felt lacking was the Patoranger's presence, really. We got backstory on the Lupinrangers' reason to fight (Not their dreams, mind you), what the Lupin Collection is, the main villain's goal, and the general setting for both Lupin and Pato.
With that plus the obligatory action sequence, I think this episode used it's time rather wisely. You don't have to like it, I just wonder what more you may have wanted, is all.

I get the feeling the show will swing it's focus between the two teams episode to episode. Still really liking what I'm seeing. And until the end I didn't realize the symbols for both team make a VS.....

Again I get that it's the first episode, but I still feel that, to me at least, we don't know anything about the two teams yet other than 'Umika is kind of a ditz'? Or at least that's how it feels to me. Of course, still the first episode so like, I'm definitely not actually holding this against the show, that'd be stupid, but as an episode by itself, just feels lacking to me.

Easily the strongest premiere for a Super Sentai in a very, very long time. I don't think I've seen so much universal praise since Gokaiger, which was just a nostalgia thing.
I'm hooked. Can't wait for episode 02.

How fitting this would be the Sentai of the year while I'm doing my Lupin the Third marathon.
This episode was a great. All the characters are likeable and not any of the Reds is a shouting idiot. This already makes it better than Kyurangers. |

A strong first but I'll need more before I make a full judgement. I agree that Pat could have got a bit more presence but it will probably swing. Most of my complaints are things that could easily change; Lupin Yellow just seems to be a ditz, Jim Carter is kinda annoying and pointless.
I feel like the benefactor (Lupin's descendant?) could be an interesting twist somewhere down the line. Equally I hope how they both have VS changers is explored |

Like I really said, I dunno, I guess it's like...I wish we learned a bit more about the actual Lupin and Patorangers in the episode?

Or at least that's how it feels to me. Of course, still the first episode so like, I'm definitely not actually holding this against the show, that'd be stupid, but as an episode by itself, just feels lacking to me. Anyways, I think I read a rumor somewhere that episodes will alternate between focusing on each team. That could be interesting, but it also could lead to the other team's involvement in each plot feeling rushed. I wonder how they're going to balance both teams each episode. Maybe just a slight focus, like how they did it this episode. That would make next episode more Patoranger-focused, which is fine by me.

I also enjoy the villain's plot. He's not trying to take over Earth because of reasons, he wants to pass down his fortune and crime syndicate to a worthy heir. It's kind of interesting. Also seeing him as a pretty chill boss willing to celebrate rather than just yell at his henchmen is always a nice change.
I mean, I don't really mind him being another Sentai villain. Considering how much I loved Genis, I expect him to be at least very entertaining by the end of things. |

I don't think Dogranio is going to be that revolutionary of a villain. He did a menacing side-chuckle, which is villain 101 for "I'm going to betray every person in this room at some point". I imagine he's going to get an aged-down super form at some point.

Besides, I know he's not gonna be anything too special (Hell, technically speaking, he literally pit every monster of his against each other), but I think his laid back style plus his aloof nature is neat.

Just watched the raw (wonder who's picking up the subs on this one), and I have to say I'm incredibly impressed. In a span of 23 minutes there was enough backstory for one side, a lot of action, and didn't miss a beat. Total GoKaiger feeling out of this, and it makes me hope they'll do a cross up at some point. The uniforms are just FUN. Again, can't wait for the subs to watch again.
