How do you guys over analyze and tear apart episodes with thought out commentary regarding little, itty bitty things?! I'm not poking fun at all by the way, more or less wish I could somewhat do that. I don't think I've ever nitpicked at anything, so it's fun at times to read some of it. Every time I watch an episode of anything, towards the end if I enjoyed it, I stick to a simple "Did that entertain me?" conclusion and that's about it. Haha, and I come in here and see an episode review that's novel sized and I'm just like: "Did I see the same ep?"

It's really weird cuz when it comes to movies, I can break them apart bit by bit at points I enjoyed and parts I hated. I think maybe I generalize most Toku shows as something aimed to make kids happy that sometimes adults who grew up with this stuff can also enjoy and I'm just so grateful these shows exist.

Sorry to hear that people are griping over that. I thought it was a unique touch and I like unique touches.

Who is this in reference to? Because if it was me, I'd say it depends on the series. Kamen Rider Dragon Knight has a lot of plot, and a lot of characters, so it always gives me something to talk about for example but likewise Gokaiger is often action heavy story light and so it gives me a lot less. I couldn't write a long critique on every episode of any series, but some shows give me a lot more to talk about than others.

I find it fun. I'm not trying to nitpick, but tearing through the episode makes me think about it more than the obvious plot bits inserted around and the tidbits of action. By analyzing it, it lets me see snippets of character that may not always be on the forefront. It lets me see how a story may affect a character not completely integral to that particular plot, but still important in a less direct way. By digging into a series on an episode by episode basis, I think about it more often, and I can see how some plots tie together (Or fail to do so, in some cases), and how the characters subtly grow and change beyond their focus episodes.

I simply just review the episode and talk about stuff I find interesting or lacking within the episode and save the critical analysis for the end. Basically I take the entertaining yet critical route in terms of reviewing.

No matter how bad an episode or series is though, there's always entertainment in it. If they weren't entertaining, we wouldn't watch them all the way to the end.

I quite honestly won't review Sentai mostly because it's hard to get in depth about some as episodic and formulaic as Sentai. I just prefer watching Sentai for fun. I'll criticize stuff in it, but I try to watch them in a more fun point of view instead of the fun and full on reviewing state I do with Kamen Rider, Garo, and Zubat.

No one in particular. It's fun at times to read em when I have the time cuz sometimes you guys offer insights on a show that I'm not all that into and somewhat make it interesting. For example, I watched Gosieger in it's entirety and while I enjoyed it, in my book it was just 'meh' at best, however some of the posts I've read on here (I forgot from who) made certain episodes that I found myself almost asleep seem interesting. I wish I could do that, instead of looking at an episode in a very black and white sort of way.

I saw the first episode of After-V (not entirely sure if Sentai parody shows belong here proper, but I guess someone can correct me).

It's certainly no Akibaranger (which was shamelessly nerd humor to the extreme). This is more subdued humor that takes a stab at sentai tropes in a slightly different way than Nobuo's fanboying, since the characters aren't aware they're tropes and just comment on them in their own universe. That said, it's pretty funny and I feel for Red. He's on the wrong team for this.

After-V?

It's a sentai parody type show. Kanpai Senshi After V.

But the discussion of it does need to go in Other Toku since it isn't an actual sentai. There's a discussion thread already in progress down there.
