Oh yeah definitely. Though sadly it does appear to not be here for a while :lol

Finally saw the first episode and well I'm on bored for what is to come. What I liked the most was the fight with their personal weapons, I like how the weapons seemed to have there own powers which is nice to see.

-Samurai Flamenco is kind of a love letter to the hero shows of old.
-Kill la Kill is what happens when you cross Cuety Honey with Gurren Laggan
-ToQger....Kobayashi WIN!
-Gaim has done more in 18 eps than most series do in 50

Another minor detail I really appreciate about this episode is how understated it was that the guys turned pink. I am so so glad that the Show didnt completely stop just so they could point their fingers at it :lol

True, I half-expected them to comment about Pink being unmanly or something, but there was nothing of that sort.

I was not a huge fan of this episode. It wasn't bad by any means. It just feels like we've been here before. A lot of that first episode reminded me of Den-O (flying train battles anyone?) and I'm not a huge fan of the mentor character. Also, as it has been said before, the weapon is straight up Go-Onger with a train instead of Bear-V as the bullet. I'll give the show a couple more episodes but if it doesn't grip me like Kyoryuger did, I'm out.

The one thing I really dug were the main villians. Very steam punk and the grunts are hella awesome. If I keep watching the show it'll be because of them more than likely.

I can't find the sub for this ep anywhere. Can someone please PM me the link? Thanks.

Yup I fully expected to let one of them react negative towards it or Kagura making a joke but I am glad we got nothing in that regard.

Just remembered that I had to explain the finisher to Convoy, so I thought I might post the explanation here for everyone as well, as some may not know this:
The statues they shoot at the monster are called Jizou in Japanese. You can often find them on the sides of streets in Japan and they are said to protect both travelers and the children that play in the streets. So when Conductor tells them that they could imagine the finisher to be anything they want, Raito decides that someone who bullied children should be finished off by the children's guardians and the team makes all the crying Jizou appear.

Lack of free time and disposable income means I've fallen behind on all fronts, managed to set aside some time for this as 'new show yay!'

Still don't think the suits are amazing, like I wouldn't rush to get the figuart, but they're certainly not terrible. I'm also really warming up to Toq-oh, the first images of the candy toy helped, but with the new combo I'm starting to think about going DX...

As for the actual episode, it was hella fun. I love me some fourth wall breaking and self referential humour, so the fact that the show doesn't take itself too seriously is definitely a bonus. The fact they have to use tickets to board their trains is so silly it's awesome too. I also dig the fact that for the most part they were all learning how to use their powers and stuff and the revelation (if it's not a red herring anyway...) is certainly interesting.

Only problem I have is the colour swapping seems fairly pointless to me. Need to catch up on Gaim now and try and restore a bit of Toku balance in my life =p
