The more I discuss this show, the more I realise how bad it is, and the more I wonder why I haven't dropped this yet.

If you define the word funny as 'random incoherent nonsense' then you'll love this, otherwise steer clear.

So I finally got around to watching the fifth episode. And it was...another crap one.

Gan was a lot of fun, and this is the second duel to feel more like a proper fight but Gan's suit is ugly as hell and the sheer ratio of random nonsense to action and story is still way too broken for me. I think I'm done with this show.

I'm still grabbing the raws and watching them both without and with subs because I don't want to wait until mid-week when TVN puts up their version (which is apparently the only one, as GUIS hasn't gotten past episode two - I'd mind more, but when your promo screen shot has a blatant typo in it you lose some of my interest, especially when TVN's version is far less TVN-y than I'm used to).

Still not too enamored with the show after 5 eps, but I will stick with it til the end because I want to see how it all unfolds. Secretly I want to see Hitomi naked at least once (never gonna happen but I can hope).

The raw for episode six is up. This week the Imagin try to figure out what sushi is and we get some really cliched backstory for Gou and Jin.

At this point it is very obvious to me that this show is the child of Den-O and Garo. She takes after Garo in the looks department, but her personality is all Den-O. Also, she likes taking her shirt off a lot. It's a weird combination, but I'm still having fun with it.

You know, for such an unique show it plays itself suprisingly safe, hopefully the 5 reuniting shakes up the formula.

Usual Shougeki stuff on ep 5: crazy antics, impressive visuals and ok fights.

I wish I could do an Angry Joe slow mo on that sentence.

Anyway, yeah, my friends hate me because they are making me suffer through this show each week. UGH!! How can this series make it through another 20 episodes? Hopefully now that the five are together it will start to feel like a Toku show. I want Monsters of the Week dammit!!!!!

Damn it. This has been my favorite tokusatsu series this year. I was expecting a Garo-esque run of 24 episodes. :(

Watched episode six again with subs. Still love the scene where Akiko tries to introduce herself to the audience but the camera seems like it's trying to avoid her. :lol

When that's the most interesting part of the show, it's time to just watch porn instead.

And now I'm curious how many people on Tokunation went over on TFW and called the casting of model Rosie Huntington in Dark of the Moon as a stupid idea when at least half of the female characters in Toku shows are Gravure Idols.

Dr Kain

11-17-2013 12:09 AM

We watched episode 6 and I am now starting to miss Garo S3. THis episode was just down right awful. It was pretty much about nothing. This show is the Japanese equivalent of Seinfeld. It stars nobodies who do nothing that deal with nothing. My god, how desperate was Black Condor and the bald dude from Aba/Gao/Blade/Battle Royale for work that they signed up for this?

BTW, what is Gravure?

That is not quite true.
Rotogravure

In japan anything involving photo printing are called gravure.

He wanted to make something "down to earth", "not badass", "traditional".
If you miss Garo (Kouga) that much you will have to wait for a bit. Konishi Ryosei has agreed to return at 50 (yes. 50!), and Kaneda has agreed to film the sequel about Kouga in old age.

To be more precise:

Quote:

Gravure Idols

A gravure idol (グラビアアイドル gurabia aidoru?), often abbreviated to gradol (グラドル guradoru?), is a Japanese female model who primarily models in magazines, especially men's magazines, photobooks or DVDs. Gravure idols, in most cases, emphasize their sexual attractiveness and often model in swimsuits or lingerie.

"Gravure" (グラビア) is a Wasei-eigo term derived from "Rotogravure", which is a type of intaglio printing process that was once a staple of newspaper photo features. The rotogravure process is still used for commercial printing of magazines, postcards, and cardboard product packaging. When translating into English, terms such as cheesecake photograph or pin-up girl are often employed.

Gravure idols appear in a wide range of photography styles and genres. Their photos are largely aimed at male audiences with poses or activities often intended to be provocative or suggestive, generally accentuated by an air of playfulness and innocence rather than aggressive sexuality. Though gravure models may sometimes wear clothing that exposes most of their body, their nipples and genitals are generally covered and they seldom appear fully nude. It is also common for gravure idols to have very large breasts and in their videos models are often shown performing activities specifically intended to cause their breasts to bounce or shake such as jogging or doing jumping jacks.

Gravure models may be as young as pre-teen age up to early thirties. In addition to appearing in mainstream magazines, gravure idols often release their own professional photobooks and DVDs for their fans. Many popular female idols in Japan launched their careers by starting out as gravure idols.

Gravure models are commonly photographed wearing bikinis or lingerie but may also appear wearing schoolgirl uniforms, Japanese street fashion, and kimonos. Since 2008, zakzak magazine has awarded a Gravure Idol Award.

Indeed, anyone expecting a series billed as "love comedy battle action hero" since it's announcement to be a GARO clone is GODDAMN DUMBASS, IMO. Dr. Kain's just being an idiot asshole as always. Guess he enjoy being Armond White that much

If anybody still cares about the show, 6 was easily the worst one so far.

Dr Kain

11-17-2013 06:47 PM

I was expecting a show to have A PLOT and not be about random nonsense. We are 6 episodes in and the girl has no purpose. There has not been a single shred of a plot (and the series is only 13 episodes). And we have a secretary who is horny for no reason with a maybe villain that isn't even doing anything remotely evil unless you count ignoring his secretary's desires as evil. Lastly, how are these guys heroes? They are sitting around bickering among each other instead of trying to prepare for this upcoming invasion and taking out bad guys.

Wow, talking with you is just like talking to those annoying wannabe activists, no matter how wrong you are, no matter how much it's clear you didn't do your research or even know what the fuck you're talking about, you still want to win the argument. Whatever dickhead, arguing with you is just pointless, sometimes idiocy just can't be cured. I hope one day, Webster's dictionary is gonna include your name in one of the definitions of idiot.
