Deka Red and his gunkata acrobatics show in episode 1. Still one of the coolest fight scenes ever in toku history looking back now. By the way Die, if you liked Agito I suggest at the least give Dekaranger episodes 1 and 2 a watch while you take a break from rider reviews. A certain Agito alumni appears. And like I said, episode 1 is awesome.

I never liked Deka as a series, but I absolutely appreciated how all in they went on world-building in this show. The setting is so rich with detail, that I found myself watching successive movies just because there was so much going on.

I also want to second everyone's warm feelings about the N Project. The music in Nexus and The Next was enough alone to make me want to write home about how good it was.

Honestly, I’ve begun to sympathise with Die not knowing what most of this stuff in these magazines are. I’ve been listening to an album of Tokusatsu songs released in this era and I don’t know what this song is.

It's from Kamen Tenshi Rosetta apparently. I've never seen the show myself, but thank you for giving me an excuse to employ my basic reading skills. :p

Sidenote: the theme is also sung by, and the series starred, Yoshii Rei who appeared as Orihime in the Bleach musicals.

Hey, so this was dead on!

Also, that's an interview about Timeranger that Yasuko Kobayashi participated in! Holy crap! I'm going to have to read that at some point! Thank you so much for making this thread, Die! I am very excited right now, if you can't tell!

Happy to do it! And there's still two more magazines to go! Who knows what exciting content could be in there?

not me because I only know like one toku thing from 2004 and I don't know how excited I'm going to be for the inevitable strongestest rider pictorial

Props to UGF:TAC. :lolol
So at the DVD release celebration event at the time they got our queen Kobayashi, Time Green, Time Pink, and Time Fire, Satoshi Morota, and Jun Hisaka. The article is Kobayashi, Morota, and Hisaka talking about the show though it seems.

Think of these as tomes that are telling you to watch non-rider shows like Dekaranger where the red ranger has the temperament of Goku, the hair of Super Saiyan Trunks, and the gunkata skills of Christian Bale from Equilibrium. :lolol

Well now I'm just hoping at least one of those magazines is literally nothing but 100% Mukki content on every page. It's the only way to properly get across his Strongest-ness! :p
