You know another thing I'm curious about, does ToQ-oh have to stay on the track to fight? Like what would happen if he went off of it? Could he still fight and move around?

Agreed on the cast. The have a great dynamic when they interact. Lucky coincidence that most of them knew each other before Toqger.

Supposedly they all have second ghost lives stored inside them that are released when they are defeated. I'll miss Lucky and (his? her?) joyro though.

The ToQ guys' blog posts together are great, they're such a lively group. Kyoryu's actors seemed like they didn't connect much outside of the show, but this team seems like they do.

If not it would be hella awkward for them :lol

As for Kyoryu, we mostly had Ucchi, Ami, Nossan and Souji together, while Ian and Daigo rarely had photos with the others. Ami and Yayoi became very close towards the end of the show, though.

The Toqgers had the advantage that Raito and Tokacchi were together in the Prince of Tennis musicals. I think they both know Hikari, too. Also, Hikari and Kagura knew each other from a model job. I think Mio is the only one who's completely new, but they all seem to have a great chemistry overall.

Hikari and Tokacchi seem particularly close.

I love the opening theme after rewatching it >_<

Except Red had never used his gear before and he was awesome with it. Most Sentai members, and most Riders for that manner, seem to have instant magical knowledge of how to use their gear with consummate skill.

I just finished watching it, finally. I...I...loved it from the bottom of my tiger boy heart! Hikari, Mio, Raito were instant favorites for me, I think I can give Tokacchi a chance, but Kagura is just so annoying and unbearable. She's just so annoying to me for some reason, but I'll just have to get over it. Loved the villains and the henshin scene. The comedy in this was great and had some WTF moments, kind of reminding me of Gekisou Sentai Carranger.

The fight scenes were amazing and I actually stuck around for the mecha fight. Usually I skip the mecha fights, unless it's a key or important fight. And gotta say, Tokkyu-Oh looks a lot better in the show than in the toy version, but I'm sure it will still sell well.

I also love the team as a whole, and the flashback thing to them as kids.

Also, the Shadow minions/henchmen are just funny and naive to me. :lolol

Overall, great first episode for me, it impressed me. I look forward to experiencing the imagination and colorful trainbow. Can't wait for the second episode! :D

Until then................IMMMMAGGGGINAAAATIIOONNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
