I wouldn't say a "wide" lead; it only beat Kamen Rider Black by three votes.

For a majority of the whole process it did. Black only caught up to it about a week ago. And that was also because I voted for Black :p

I voted for it, too. I hope getting second place here means it gets the slot after Gekiranger.

Speaking of which, I decided not to wait and watched the first episode of Gekiranger. Jan is on all the crack.

My torrent is moving at a snail's pace. 35% is a step up from the 19% earlier, but still...

And I do hope Black could be the next watch. I've always wanted to see it.

I doubt I'll end up following LWW. I'm already to episode 12. I waited for awhile, but they took to long to start. So I'm going by my own schedule again.

It's not like we're late or anything :lol

We told every one up front we'd be starting in February, just waiting til Toyfair is over to start this week.

I'll attempt to follow as best as I can.

Episode two of Gekiranger. Aaaaaaallllllllllll the crack.

That said, I'm liking it so far. Kinda iffy on the HS subs, though. They have two options for subs: full subs with even the names translated and partial subs with some Japanese left in. I find myself kinda wishing their was more of a middle ground, though - something that translated words like "waza" and "kensei" but left "Gekiranger" and "Geki Tohja" as is.

I'm also not a fan of the cat dude costume. I think it's the creepy little hands. Give me Doggie Kruger's suit over this any day of the week.

This is a reason why I go with TVN subs on Gekiranger. Yes they leave far more untranslated but I still think it's better than the HS ones.

As far as what I'm watching, I've suddenly realized I've burned through 20 episodes of Goaranger just this week! This show is just so good. I can't believe I never hear people recommend it more often. The rangers are all interesting, the path to gaining power ups and new Power Animals is way less linear than I realized it'd be, the villlains are both fun and threatening. This show has so damn much going on it for it. This was the perfect series to celebrate the 25th Anniversary.

Glorious!
And wait, so the sub options are to just be an alternate version of TVN's or to overtranslate everything?
Well, that's kind of annoying.
