Wizard's Driver was just shit.

The whole magic ring business was never properly explained and having SHABADOOBIE screamed over the top of dramatic moments was pretty much the immediate way to ruin it.

Like at least in Kyoryuger the Samba shit is out of the way as soon as the transformation is done, it's dumb, but I can live with that but every attack Wizard did was punctuated by that obnoxious and juvenile piece of crap that couldn't even keep up with the action as it was. And yeah you have that horrible screaming narrator here but even then, at least he isn't STILL screaming half way into the fight like Wizard's Driver would with all the stupid songs.

I found Beast's a lot better. Shame he was useless.

When played alone, it was okay (though the dance was a bit weird), but with everyone else's music it was just out of place :/

What, why do you skip episode 11? This one is such an important episode for Ucchi's character introduction and how he became a part of the team oO

So much so that the last time clip at the beginning is entirely of Amy's legs?

Yes, so much. Don't forget that Sakamoto was in charge. Things like that will happen. Anyway, what do Amy's legs have to do with Ucchi being Ucchi and idol Candelira?

I have no idea! But the only clip from that episode used in 12 is the tracking shot up her legs that ends on her crossing them in a short skirt in close up. Makes me feel vile, she's fifteen.

Oh God it's that episode where Candelira sings that song that makes you wanna rip out your eardrums? I'm okay not repeating that episode.

I would agree with you, had anything that followed ever again referenced 1) the Amy/Ucchi relationship, or 2) Ucchi & team being contentious. As it stands, both of these elements are feints that don't add to the show -- and I think present expectations that are annoyingly never fulfilled.

I think it's a fine episode, but it's not essential.

It's essential to understand how Ucchi turned from the guy we've seen at his first appearance into the guy we have for the rest of the series.

Though Locke, if you know what happened in the episode because you've seen it, yeah, no problem. And yes, it's one of the singing Candelira episodes.

I did watch the first 11 or so episodes of Kyoryuger when it was first airing before I dropped it. It's made a huge difference on the experience cutting out those five or so episodes I have so far. I'm actually really enjoying Kyoryuger without that annoying song, and tooth ache and farting dinosaurs and whatever else was was in there and not even felt or noticed by me as I skipped over it.

I'm soon gonna start watching Chojin Sentain Jetman.

Maybe. Admittedly, this was a bubble episode -- I almost included it in the list I gave Locke.

I still think I made the right choice in skipping it for him, but I'd probably include it in a list made for someone who hadn't already seen the first 11 episodes.
