Wait so the discussion is here?!? I thought it was here: http://www.tokunation.com/showthread.php?t=28597

Good to see everyone's discussing it so far.

I'll just repost what I said earlier with one or two additions:

I'm just assuming discussion will be on the episode announcements.

Just finished up episode 2. Jan is a hilarious freak and by God do I love him for it. Retsu reminds quite a bit of the other blue rangers in the fact of him being quite smart as well as serious. But like most of that type, he seems to have some form of a goofy side to him. I can't say a whole lot about Ran yet other then, kawaii.

Robotuff already seems funny as Hell to me (although not as funny as Navi or Alpha). Cat (yes I'm calling him cat) is pretty enjoyable as well. And as I'm sure to say later in in the discussions, Mele!!

GekiTouja is pretty cool looking albeit a little simple. But non the less, it's still a nice mecha design. Although that final attack makes me wonder how dizzy they'd get on a daily basis.

All in all, episode 2 was pretty neat.

P.S. I love having commentary during the fight.

Watched the third episode, I did enjoy it quite a bit. The dust cloth training concept was superior to the identical version in Jungle Fury.

I'm beginning to see the personalities of the main cast emerge and the mecha battles remain really cool. Next few episodes promise to be even more exciting so I'm looking forward to them.

I did it I saw the first three trainings

This is what I said in the other thread after seeing the first episode:

After seeing episodes 2 and 3, okay Shafu isn't Satan come for my soul, but he's still very disturbing.

Mele is very hot. Can I join the evil team?

Jan wasn't quite as spastic these episodes, I hope he calms down a little more though. But really my main problem is how serious he looks in the opening sequence, but his face is never that calm or focused in the episode.

I really enjoy the martial arts, and the mecha fights are good so far. I don't mind the commentary, but I don't like the fly. So far I like director whatshername, and Ran and Retsu.

Did I mention that Mele is hot? Ran isn't bad either.

So far, I don't like the mech designs. I tend to not be a fan of mecha-beasts that turn into full on humanoid robots. I don't hate GekiTouja, it's certainly not a deal breaker, but it's nowhere as cool as Shinkenoh, or DekaRobo, or Daibouken, in my opinion.

But I'm enjoying the series, it's fun, and I'm definitely along for the rest of the ride. And I want GekiRanger figuarts now.

Oh, and 5 second advert at the end of the episode for Den-O made me sad that I wasn't watching Den-O. I love that show.

Xia Fu is by far my least favorite part of the show. It's mostly the creepy too-long arms with the tiny little paw hands. Something about them just wigs me the fuck out.

I tackled the first 3 episodes over the weekend. And every moment reminded me of why I love this show so much. I don't think any other Sentai will overtake it. I hope Akibranger Season 2 uses the Gekiranger Inordinate Power so we can get started on those figuarts. Still waiting for the release of Rio and Mele.

This. SO much this. Those long arms and tiny paws are fucking terrifying for some reason.

Also, this.

I know, right? And it doesn't even make sense. The arms are just long so that the suit actor can have full sleeves and hold onto the paw hands. But for some reason it just looks wrong and creepy as all fuck.
