Shinkenger's later combinations and just about any of the Combos from Go-Busters.

It's always weird to see that Shinken-Oh's final form has it's head in the center :lol

I know you're out, but my key point is PANDERING.

Sentai is a show for kids, but it usually doesn't pander to them. It treats them as intelligent beings and doesn't talk down to them. Mandora Boy, I feel, is pandering. Simple as that.

I don't like Magiranger, and you don't seem to be so fond of it yourself. I'm just explaining my opinion. Sorry if I've offended.

Do I even need to bring up Go-Onger?

Bring it up

Not as bad as Shinkenger but still a cluster fuck

Is next week ninninger episode where star dies?

No, not really. He might left the team, joining Kyuumon is a possibility.

And has anyone noticed that the core team always call Kinji "Star-san"? It's ironic and somehow related to the previous show where Akira keeps calling the main 5 "ToQGers".

Well that's true but the only reason they call him star-san is because he hasn't told them his name.

No, there are times he told them, but they keep calling him like that on purpose. I guess there'll be an act where they acknowledge him as a family member.

Just watched the final episode of ToQGer. Am I the only one that thinks the Green Rangers grandma resembles Beasts grandma in Wizard?

I don't think she's the same actress though...

I just thought she looked familiar.

The have the same hair- and fashionstyle, I think

You're right.
Nito's grandma was played by an actress named Yamaguchi Karin(山口 果林), while Hikari's grandma was played by an actress named Hayashi Midori(林 美土里).

What if we have another technological sentai powered by mystical powers ?

Why do Mecha look the way they do?
 

I do have to ask why Sentai Mecha look the way they do? What was the design process behind them; the inspiration? Who says: "This thing looks wild, it's perfect." For example (and this can get lengthy and P.R. counterparts will be mentioned): Why does Galaxy Mega/Astro Megazord echo Daidenjin? Why does Dairenoh/Thunder Megazord look like Ryuuseioh/Red Dragon Warrior Mode wearing Kidenjuu armor? Why the similarities between Jaguar Vulcan and Giga Bitus/Zenith Carrierzord? Why does Daizyujin/(Dino) Megazord have what can only be defined as "devil horns"? Anyone notice cues between the head of GaoKing/Wild Force Megazord and that of Beast Armor Shine Gingaioh/Lights of Orion Galaxy Megazord? Why settle on a football player for TackleBoy/Warrior Wheel? I don't know if anyone has said or referenced this matter before, but after awhile questions do come to mind.

*shrugs* Either they wanted to pay tribute to old designs or they were simply out of ideas, i guess. :lolol

They probably wanted to go old school for Megaranger and used that as an inspiration

Because that's what the mecha are based on for that series. Dairanger has a lot of Chinese themes

There could be an actual reason for this, but I've always felt that they simply thought it was missing something design-wise, so they threw horns on.


A lot of the other ones I can't really answer, but I feel like it's usually one of these three things: 1. That design choice fit the theme they were going for 2. They felt the design choice simply looked good/would have lots of appeal or 3. coincidence.

Which do you all prefer when it comes to megazords/mechs, especially during combining sequences and individual actions? Stop motion and miniatures or CG?
Stop motion gives the feeling of reality as it's actually there, but CG does let the robots have "Flashier" combinations and more action prior to and after combining, so I'm curious.

Suits and miniatures. A bit of flashy CGI is okay for the attacks and such, but the actual combatants need to be suits. That's probably one of the reasons I've been digging Ninninger so much, it seems like they've gone back to focusing on suits a little more. I can't stand purely CGI mech battles.

I prefer good old stop motion and miniatures. Nothing against CGI, but it isn't that great a lot of the time in Sentai. There's very few that I've seen that I thought looked really good. The craftsmanship and time that goes into the stop motion and miniatures is just breathtaking and adds to the value of both enjoyment and quality of a show.

The Live-Action Gattai, like we got recently with Kyoryuger. I don't like the CG stuff much.

Suits are always going to win out, which is why I excluded them.
However, my main question was concerning the combination and individual mecha actions.

For example, if there was a series featuring a jet mech, would you prefer a jet miniature flying around, or a CG jet flying around?
While the miniature provides a more "Real" look, the CG lets it perform more spectacular actions.

I have noticed that being an issue in certain series, so I'll give you that. However, it's not as clear cut. Watch Landlion scenes. It feels like it never even touches the ground despite it's legs moving, so there is some broken stop motion around, too.

Really? Why?

I don't like the CGI much. It feels like a break from the action whereas the miniatures and suits continued the flow of action for me.

I feel like I could go with either to be honest. Both the Miniatures and CGI have their advantages and disadvantages to me.

if this is the right area, i have a simple question:

what does Kaiser Buldont say at the end of Ohranger when he dies?

This is absolutely the right area.

I just always loved the look of a LA Gattai sequence. The CG ones never look right, somehow. The mechs are to perfect. To shiny. To fake looking, for lack of a better word. To over-the-top with how they combine.

I am not very sure on whether this is the right place to inquire?
I am planning to visit Japan next year and really wanted to watch a premier or maybe a live gathering of sentai and kamen rider spirits. how much might be the cost of the tickets. just the general admission or the vip maybe.. hehe..

Haven't found a place to research that yet, but I guess it will be the same price as musical tickets, so around 7500 Yen. I don't think there are VIP seats as long as you're not press, but I could be wrong.
Might be able to tell you more in autumn, as I'm planning to see the Drive Final Stage show then.

When the rumors about the next sentai start to show up ?

We're not even half way through the series yet, man. Probably not until November or December for confirmed rumours

... Could it end now? Could it please just end now?

It's been getting better... Granted, not by much, but it is improving. I'd still take Akiba S3 over it though. Any day

awesome. it's going to be my first time in Japan, hope it will be very memorable. thanks.

No.

I like Ninninger. :(

For me too. I'll stay a bit longer, so I will probably be able to give info on multiple events then :)

Yup me too. Its not the best show ever made but it does enough things I enjoy.

Can I ask why? And not I'm not being smart, I honestly want to know. Because I don't see it.
