Dairanger 35.

Yay Jin is back! Jin is epic anyway, but he's also like the only villain in this show that isn't just a joke the show takes seriously, so he becomes extra special. Although to be fair, Sergeant Cannon was pretty cool as well.

Does Ryou know about Jin's demon powers? Or that he is still alive? I'm pretty sure he didn't, but he sure didn't react to any of that. Oh well, minus that hiccup, this episode was amazing. I love how Jin seems to have this power to make weak characters, into strong ones. Ryou's pretty much only good episode, was when he was training to defeat Jin, and here Ryou once again steps up to remind us why he leads his team. The big change here however, is Jin's effect rubs off on the whole team, and although corny my GOD do the Dairanger's seem like badasses in this episode.

Bizarrely, in that one dream episode, Jin had the armour when he fought Ryou in the dream/illusion and said something like "I'll show you my new powers", so Ryou's knows of them. I just don't know why they made him find out about them in an episode that Jin wasn't actually in.

Oh yeah, I had completely forgotten about that. If that episode was using what the Dairanger's were triggered by, how would that have known about Jin's demon powers, if Ryou himself didn't know? Argh my head hurts.

Yay, another Kujaku Daigo episode! Just a shame the villain this week was a fucking kaleidoscope. So the past connection between Kujaku and Gara is finally revealed...and it's a laughabley bad piece of storytelling.

A brick fell on Gara's face, but rather than killing her, it cut her cheek. Does she treat this as a miracle? No, she never comes out in public again and betrays her entire tribe. What a crock of shit. Also didn't we do all this shit with that Lipstick Chick already? What is it with this show and just repeating the same stories over and over and over.

Have they just given up on Kou now? For the last five or ten episodes, he's just appeared right at the end for the mech fight with a line like 'lol sorry I was washing my hair and I had a headache' but now they didn't even bother to give him that. What a waste of fucking time Kibaranger turned out to be. I'm actually starting to realise what an amazing character the White Ranger was.

The trees are attacking? They should be glad this ain't Evil Dead.

KibaRanger is no different than DragonRanger. He shows up when needed and goes away until it is his time to shine. That was how the sixth rangers worked back in the 90s. They were not there to suddenly lose a battle every episode with the other rangers like the sixths of today do. They were pretty much like Batman in the JL. There to help if necessary. It made the appearance of the sixth ranger special back then. Don't worry, you will be getting some really nice Kou episodes soon.

But then, you'll probably hate them since you seem to be hating the show anyway.

On that note, who WAS the first "regular" sixth?

there the internet goes with that word again, that word that once meant a feeling that you feel most strongly, which as often when the internet uses that word, just isn't the case. Dairanger is entertaining, its just not very good. The tones a mess, the Dairangers are awful, what plot there is is lost in terrible pacing and poor storytelling and its very dated. but the action is done well, the regular side characters are thankfully much better realised than the Dairanger's are and the rare times it embraces how stupid it is, the show is a treat.

Alright, Goseiger episode 2...

So far, Goseiger isn't the most exciting of Sentais, but I don't hate it. Maybe things will liven up as I go on through it.

Anyway, it's MUCH better than Megaforce's "He blasted me with science", but being better than Megaforce isn't a hard thing to manage. Megaforce is only enjoyable because of the slowly escalating acting skills and the cheesiness of it all. Goseiger seems to have more heart and care put into it.

So yeah...kinda dull for my tastes but not bad at all, I hope to gain more interest as the show goes on.

And I completely disagree. DaiRanger is the best Sentai has to offer. The rangers are the best team ever because they had to continuously work hard to be a team, it just didn't happen over night and stayed that way. The pacing is not poor at all as it is one of the, if not the, most plotted shows in the history of Sentai. Of course it is dated, as it was 20 years ago. The DaiRangers are normal people sucked into a war they did not ask for. They are not an organized military unit. They are not warriors who were friends thousands of years ago. They did not just suddenly become a team after 5 episodes. The DaiRangers feel the most realistic team because they are not one until the very end of the show.

You mean the first sixth who was pretty much just a normal team member? You can either say it was GaoSilver or DekaBreak.

I really enjoyed Dairanger, but you're describing Jetman more then Dairanger here.
