Epic 24.

Although I think the bubblegum swords are pretty dumb, this was a really cool introductory episode for their super mode. Seeing all the Yuuma standing side by side it was like we'd hit the finale of the entire show, and it just kept going!

Buredoran was pretty badass this episode as well, which is nice, as he hasn't been nearly as interesting during this portion as he was during the Warstar portion.

Yes, but mostly in a good way I think. It is certainly one of my favorites. It fact. I still have most of the series on VHS from when it aired in Japan. It was one of the shows I was lucky enough to follow when it was new although, I was normally about two weeks behind the Japanese audience. My connection would tape two weeks worth of it and Mobile Fighter G Gundam on 2 hour speed then send it to me. :)

Epic 25.

This was a pretty great episode, Makuin lived up to his villain status with a downright nasty plan and monster to take out the Super Modes while showing fighting ability that you didn't think possible from his suit design.

Really my only disappointment is Gosei Knight, I thought it was only early sixths which weren't integrated into the core team properly but here is Gosei Knight who only seems to step into episodes to either dump exposition or sell toys. It's a shame because when he was introduced he seemed so cool, now the Super Goseigers appear to be leaving him behind.

Oh crap foreshadowing! I already have the twist ruined for me, but I guess their plan for Buredoran was in place all along.

Started watching MagiRanger today with my brother, well continuing after episode 1 and watched 2-7 and absolutely love it so far! I love all the Rangers, I think Tsubasa is one of my favs, and Houka is one of my favorite pinks ever so far. I love all the cast of it, and the villains are interesting. Can't wait for more of this probably going to watch more.

GoseiKnight never really fit in from the start and I think the writers actually never wanted him to be a part of the core team, as he has also only very few scenes in later movies (Gosei vs. Shinken, Last Epic, 199 Heroes). Which I don't really care much about because I used to hate him with a passion and still don't really like him. Even more after rewatching his first few episodes. He only became likeable when he befriended Nozomu, which was a pretty obvious thing to happen anyway.

I don't really get the hate for him personally, everyone claimed he was this big dick, but when they explore him as a character you realise that he isn't a dick at all. But once he and the Goseigers reached a point of understanding he just fell out of the show. I just don't see the point of adding a character you have no intention of using.

Thing is, I never liked his character concept anyway. I would have preferred a human character who becomes more likeable. I could never warm up with Knight as a character, so I was glad he didn't show up much. Actually, I would have preferred an actual human character, like ShinkenGold or GokaiSilver, but that's just personal. It's not that I mind him being in the series. I just don't really like him.
I think they put him in to keep the 6th Ranger tradition (though I've always seen him as an extra hero, like Zuban from Boukenger, for example. Whom I liked even less than GoseiKnight xD).

Wow you can see we're complete opposites as I see ShinkenGold akin to a cancer, the catalyst for Shinkenger's mid season slump and easily the worst character in the whole of sentai history. I'd happily take a team made entirely of bland, personalityless pinks than another ShinkenGold.

Since I plan to get myself up in the morning, so I can be refreshed and ready for a busy work week, I decided to watch a couple of episodes of Goseiger before bed, rather than attempting to start another movie.

So here we go, Epic 26, officially I've gone past the mid way point now. I honestly think Goseiger has gone downhill a fair amount. The opening Warstar Arc was INCREDIBLE it had epic battles, just the right amounts of tension and comedy, the characterisation was strong, with focused character arcs and not a moment of filler.

The Yuuma arc on the other hand basically feels entirely like a filler arc, like what they do in an anime that has almost caught up to the manga. I know a lot of new stuff has been introduced in the Yuuma arc but not a lot of it is stuff I particularly like.

Gosei Knight was interesting to begin with, but then the show doesn't really seem to like him, leaving me to wonder why they invented him at all if they aren't going to actually bother including him in the show.

And although I like how big and flashy the Super Modes are, they take all of the Angels personal identities away and that was what made the action scenes so enjoyable.

This episode itself included an asinine plot about some gourd that can suck laughing people into it or some shit with a monster who has "tickling wind". Episodes with plots like this are the reason I dropped Kyoryuger. I especially hated it when Alata laughed at fart jokes, come on man!

I guess it doesn't help that this is apparently built around some weird Japanese humour that I've never heard of. I didn't understand the jokes at the beginning and Alata's costume gags were baffling.

Plus the action was surprisingly...weird...why was it that when Tengu used his power, it was just the same piece of prerecorded footage looped over and over? It looked terrible.

... All these Goseiger sigs. .. OOO!
