Watched through the first 10 episodes of Jetman now. So far I have a good view on the series though the filler episodes have been hit or miss for me. I liked the episode with Ryu's grandma especially how she stood up to the monster, I just love badass old people in shows and the cup ramen episode was good as well.

On the other hand I did not like episodes like diamond one or the one where they introduced the mechs and Jet Icarus I think it's called. I didn't think the mechs were introduced well, they just showed up and one thing thing that confused me was how in the beginning of that episdoe they said that all the jetman and to be synchronized in order to form Jet Icarus, yet later in the episode they were able to form it without Ryu.

On the character side other than Ryu's grandma I have to say my favorite character is Raita I like the humor he brings and his tendency to through rocks. One issue I have with the character development so far is that it's all romance related. Aside from Ako though she hasn't really developed yet and the only thing I know about her is that she likes diamonds.

Not to sound negative like I said I am liking the series so far it just has some flaws, though there is one more thing that really bugs me. Why does it take the Jetman so long to actually morph!? I mean there were a number of situations they were in that could have been solved by morphing.

Oh and so far I counted 5 groin attacks.

Something to be aware of is Jetman's infamous love triangle. While the characters do grow some outside of it, Ryu, Gai, and Kaori's growth is mostly related to it.

Also, I love Raita.
Super human that can fly with a large arsenal?
Chucks a rock :lol

Yeah, the romance aspects keep going throughout the entire series. Unless you're willing to let it grow on you, i'm not sure how you'll feel about the rest of the series.

I loved it as I was watching it. Now that I finished it though, my overall impression of the series was that it was just okay.

I love how Raita's motivation for helping the team is that the villains blew up his vegetable garden.

Saw a random episode of Kakuranger recently.
Boy they sure loved to grunge their wardrobe.
Only in this show can you wear a denim kilt like Sasuke while sporting a shirt Budnick from Salute Your Shorts probably wore:

Question about Kakuranger. Does Jiraiya speak mostly English through the entire series? That actually bothered me through the 9 episodes I saw.

He transitions to Japanese soon, don't worry :lol

But that's one of the awesome things about Jaraiya. However, yeah, he learns Japanese throughout the series, so he speaks it more and more. He will still have a few English moments, but not as much.

I mean, I thought it was kind of annoying. Not sure why.
