I was out of town for most of the weekend, but I did get home earlier tonight and watched some Super Sentai.

Caught up on Boukenger to episode 38, so I'll probably finish that one later this week. I liked a lot of the Black/Yellow dynamic in the episodes that go into Yellow's past - their relationship could easily be interpreted as either romantic or like siblings, which is perfectly ambiguous for fan interpretation. I loved the episode with Blue and Miyu, that was adorable. I hope Miyu shows up in more episodes, but I kinda doubt it.

Also caught the first episode of Zyuohger, and I was really impressed! The cast seems fun, the action on foot was really cool, and the mecha stuff seemed pretty all right too. Definitely going to follow this one as each episode airs.

Finished Carranger and that shiw is officially in my top favorite seasons. Spectacular characters and I enjoyed the ending. Even the filler was really enjoyable.

Got up to episode 10 of Battle Fever J and man there are a lot of orphans in the show. Also a lot of death to one-off characters. It is holding my interests though even though the jump cuts are really distracting.

I only got about 7 episodes into BFJ but I really enjoyed what I saw. Held my interest surprisingly well for being such an early season. I should definitely get back to it - the only reason I stopped watching it was because I started Jetman.

Yeah, it could be interpreted either that Masumi looks at Natsuki as a little sister or Masumi has hidden feelings for Natsuki, still shows the responsibility of Masumi and how he'd go farther than normal to save the ones he loves.

The thing that makes Carranger so like amazing is that the comedy is so over the top that you just get used to it, and it blends so well with Sentai, and the humor is so brilliant, and added with all 5 rangers getting the amount of focus they need and seeing how just average people become warriors and we also have the serious moments of their maturing and growing, and to top it off great villains, it's definitely one of the if not the highest point that Sentai's gotten to.

I downloaded a ton more Sentai subs yesterday and over the past two days watched the first episodes of Ohranger, Carranger, Gingaman, GoGoV, Abaranger, Gaoranger, Kyouryuuger, and ToQger. Whew. I probably liked Carranger and Abaranger the most of those eight. Might get started on those when I've finished my current projects (almost done with Boukenger, early on in Jetman and Dekaranger).

Gekiranger episode 33:

A random Edo Period episode that was okay if only because we got to see GekiRinTohja again. I hope this is the only time travel episode because Gekiranger doesn't really need time travel.

Gekiranger 9:

So, that's Mele's backstory. Huh. Well, now we know what Rio's goals are, and I still find the Geki Bazooka hilarious. Ah yes...the most powerful of Martial Arts techniques...a gun.

I finished Boukenger yesterday. I thought it was okay, but definitely would have benefited from a story arc with a long-term focus. I thought the villains were decent and that there were a bunch of great individual episodes, but there's a lack of payoff when there isn't a final confrontation against a primary antagonist to build toward. The final arc was fine, but maybe not awesome. That's too bad, because the final arcs in my first few Super Sentai (Shinkenger, Gekiranger) were *AWESOME*.

I have to say that the Boukenger team was pretty entertaining. Several good comedy and drama episodes. Souta was my favorite character; I liked the plot twist on Yellow's origin; and I'm glad that they actually acknowledged and acted on a romance subplot in the final episode (can't help it - I like romance subplots). Overall it's probably my least-favorite of the five Super Sentai shows I've seen to completion thus far, but it was still pretty good.

I'm still around episode 13-15 of Dekaranger and 8-10 of Jetman, in addition to watching Zyuohger as each one comes out. I haven't watched Deka or Jetman in at least a week, heh.

A cannon.
I don't think you point to a firecracker and call it a missile :p
