O-T now has this episode fansubbed. Yup, it's the same flat acting, redundant pacing and sad attempts at humor that kept me away since episode 6. Masato and J are actually interesting characters, but they're not enough to keep me watching this show.

Back to Akibaranger for me.

Frankly, I don't really understand the criticism on this show, but I guess it's just not for everyone. Btw, I enjoy both Go-busters and Akibaranger, and I think Toei has done a great job making sure both series are different yet interesting in their own way.

Terrific debut by Beet & Stag Busters. I like the constant banter between the two in an effort to upstage the other, and I think Jan has a rather roguish personality considering the fact that he was an engineer. I'm curious to know why they're stealing Enetron, but I guess this is something we'll find out later.

Meh, Beet and Stag's debut left a lot to be desired. I quite like their back story but they didn't leave that "extra hero" impression that I love getting from episodes like this. I'm not sure how long Beet's "defection" will take to get annoying either, but I'm guessing not very long.

Oh well, I still love the main three. And Enter. Hopefully next week's will warm me to the newcomers a bit more.

While I do like the dynamic of Beet and Stag buster, and the first transformation was awesome, but Jin is just rubs me the wrong way, not sure what it is yet, I hope my view about him changes like I did with Gai in Gokaiger. I'm assuming that Jin has been using the plan and the enertron to build the mecha for himself?

Oh I forgot to mention (possibly because at the time of posting I was focussing on the negatives), Beet/Stag's theme music is amazing. Possibly my new favourite piece of Sentai music outside of the openings.

I like this episode I enjoyed Stag and Beets funny moments. Their finisher was cool Boost Up For Buster Come On. Hyato Matsamoto does a good job as Jin. Him stealing Enertron was surprising but I can guess why he did it

Well, if I've learning anything from Tokusatsu, it's not to judge a character by their initial appearance. Chances are you'll end up with pie on your face.

I want to like Gobusters, but I'm struggling. There's zero plot or conflict, and I'm not feeling the two new characters.

They need to shake things up. It's always:
1) Enter speaks with Messiah for 10 seconds
2) Enter creates a metaroid
3) Gobusters show up. If Enter is still around he shoots tentacles and leaves.
4) Fight against metaroid as megazord appears.
5) Form Gobusteroh and immediately use dimension crush.
6) Hiramu and Yoko are snarky.

Granted, Sentai shows are formulaic, but without some conflict and an enemy that feels threatening, it's tough to care.

Ok, here is what I don't get... When Beet and Stag first morphed, you see that parts of the J Stag flies off of him to form Beet's suit, yet, when Beet and J Stag first showed up, J Stag still has all the armor bits, and Beet was already in his suit, so WTF?

I don't understand why you don't think Enter is threatening, because I can't remember any recent sentai villains that have accomplished as much as Enter has except for Basco. Here's what Enter has done so far:

- Successfully infiltratored Go-busters' base, ended up forcing the Commander to destroy Hangar 7 in response.
- Stolen the blueprint for CB-04.
- Stolen other components for the Megazord like the material Delta 39 and the rare component from that earring the Yoko lookalike actress.
- Kidnapped Usada, and almost succeed in its destruction
- Kidnapped Yoko (via Tubaroid II).

As for GoBusterOh destroying Megazords with ease, well isn't it similar to other sentai series like Gokaiger, where the MOTW was just there for the giant fusion robot to practice their weapons on? At least Go-busters got alot of mileage out of BC-01 Ace, GT-02, and RH-03, which is something that Gokaiger did not do very well.
