A damn SOLID first episode.

I'm all aboard the TrainBOW!

Subs are up!

Imagination Station apparently did episode 1 before the announcement that Overtime would be doing it came out. So this is a total one off project. But hey we got subs a little early to check out now!

Bloody hell, I need to get to work! WHY?!

Can't wait for this evening!

If anything watching this subbed was a worse experience than when I watched it raw - wish I could swap my vote to 'average'. The villains motivations are entirely generic when it gets down to it, the backstory and dynamic of the team is poorly plotted and the whole colour swap thing makes even less sense, although the show actually admits it's a bad concept...which I guess makes it better? I think?

'Eh, none of it was unbearable but it's still frustrating for a show with such awesome designs and action. Absolutely love the Conductor as well, 'IMARGEENAYSHARN!'.

I really really loved it more with subs. They always give much context to scenes that need it. Like at the end when Ticket says they were all chosen to be ToQgers because they're essentially doomed to die :lol

Generic motivations aside those villain designs are amazing. General Schwarz is the most metal of metal bad guys ever. The Crows are a great design, but pulling a Magiking 24/7 and tipping their hats in the middle of fights is weird and pointlessly leaves them open.

The show is self aware that some of what it does is ridiculous, and it mildly breaks the 4th wall to interact with us while questioning it's absurdity. I actually really really love this. If anything the subs made this first stop (oh yes I punned it) even more enjoyable than I thought it'd be.

Can't wait to be back with more next week!

I meant the very same post I quoted.

I don't have a problem with opinions, but try to be more open-minded about them. Put yourself in their shoes instead of thinking someone owes you something.

Just because someone starts something, doesn't mean they will finish it. Things happen, change, and in the end, it's a free service to you that honestly is quite thankless and unappreciated.

I understand not wanting to hold your feelings back, but you should when the situation calls for it, like this scenario.

Man I love ALL the designs in the show. From the Toqgers neon colours, and shiny train shaped helmets, to the giant robot that FEELS like a giant robot to steam punk plague doctor, hell lolita and steampunk dictator general.

I will say that I kinda liked that they pointed out the ridiculousness, but it also made me wonder why they bothered to keep the colour swap in at all if even the show thinks it's dumb. I personally think it's gonna get old so fast if they keep this gag a running thing.

I like that it gives an in-show reason the villains can't just interrupt them while they're morphing. The characters...eh, they're alright. Red was way different than what I thought he was gonna be though. Blue is my favorite so far, I guess. Hopefully they all get more characterization later down the line.

The color switch thing....yeah not really a fan, nor do I see a real point. Though my real problem with it is that they have to physically swap the power train cell things. Seems to slow everything down. Though I kinda like how far they're going with the train theme.

Villains didn't do much so far, but I like their designs. Well most of them. We'll see how they shape up later. The finisher was...interesting. I liked how the monster didn't know what the fuck was going on either though.

The conductor is amazing though. I have no idea what his deal is, but so far he's cool. That twist, he, or...I guess the puppet spilled at the end was interesting. I wonder how they're gonna expand on that next episode.

Anyway, I thought it was an okay first episode. Definitely liked it better than Kyoryuger's first ep.

I'd say it'll be used on occasion. Mostly just to confuse enemies. But I highly doubt that by the time 6/Rokugo is introduced that it'll still be in use. It's one of those gimmicks that is fun for a bit and on hte occasional use, but will probably fade to the background rather quick. I have to say I liked it though.

Personally I'll be glad if it's gone, sooner rather than later.
