I like the overall design of what we've seen so far, but I just don't think the torso looks very good. It just looks like a robot is just sitting there, like its a chair.

That seems to be the intention though. The Robot itself is likely supposed to resemble a giant throne and the smaller one is sitting in it.

I love it. I just hope this means Shinobi Maru and the other mecha will have some good solo fight sequences as well as just jumping straight to combining.

I wonder if that might be symbolic to the story at all. Maybe Akaninjer is a prince or Lord like Takeru from "Shinkenger."

Whoever writes the show could take that as an inspiration.

True. I'm just worried about how far the legs will stick out, and if that will break the designs "flow".

If they pull the whole lord/prince thing with Aka that's fine. But he better not wind up being a vapidly lifeless shell like Takeru was. I want a character with personality. Like maybe they're dedicated to him being their lord and he just doesn't care and wants to have fun.

I would like a different portrayal of a lord or prince in sentai. But I will argue you down about Takeru, Den-O...he is my favorite red senshi lol.

But I want something different for the red. Maybe what Den-O said or maybe he is royalty, but has to prove his worth by defeating the yokai while his family is incapacitated or something.

Oh wow, that mecha looks really dumb.

Holding off final judgement until official reveal.

I really, really, really don't like the throne thing. It's kinda really fucking stupid.
