Can't help it when the cast of Goseiger is like watching a bunch of brain dead children running around without adult supervision. :lol

Anyway, I watched Changeman 5-7 and the movie today. I just don't know about this show, honestly. So far all 7 episodes have been pretty much the same thing over, and episode 5 was just flat out weird, but not in a good way. It just starts out as if there was supposed to be a first parter and stuff happens. It didn't make any sense. The mech fights are pretty boring and the mech looks like Copter from Gobots. Also, the rangers are not really all that special yet. I guess that is the homage Ohranger made to this series, a generic cast with no development. Thankfully, it's only been 7 episodes, so the show is bound to get better, especially since it was popular enough to live on for 55 episodes. The monster designs for the last episodes have been pretty awesome though. I am curious to see where this Ahames thing is going to lead to as I do have her figure.

It figures that I have taken my time to catch up and GUIS seems to have disappeared again on it. I guess I should have waited a bit longer, but since they were doing so well releasing stuff on a weekly basis I was expecting them to be in the teens by now. Oh well.

Hey now...leave Goseiger alone. That is actually a food season but a lot of people don't give it a fair shot.

Goseiger is alright, but it messes up a lot. Power distribution is all over the place (Multiple episodes in a row of gaining new abilities, and episodes that centered on one character featured another character getting new headders for no reason). The villains are rather dull (Warstar is basically Sentai default: Evil king sitting in dread fortress doing nothing, the mutant things are even more dull (Their arc just drags on and on), and the Mantorintis are a total afterthought with how little they ever get to do (They're basically used to set up Brajira and his heartless nature, rather than be real adversaries to the Goseigers). The characters go from happy go lucky to complete idiots (I can understand Eri putting her all into making a boy have a good birthday. I can't justify her abandoning her team to bake a cake), and GoseiKnight, while my favorite character, doesn't really bring anything new (Sixth with a chip on his shoulder that shuns the team and thinks they're bitches). His story arc of understanding humanity with...Nozomu (Was that his name?) was quite nice, though.

With Goseiger, the first third it too stuffed, the second is just a slog, and the 3rd, while nice, means you've already spent 30ish episodes to get to.

If it's a food season then that food is cake and GoseiPink is baking it instead of doing her damn job of helping to save the world. Because heaven forbid that little boy doesn't have a birthday cake to eat while the city burns down around him.

Sure, if you like rangers who act and look like little kids instead of heroes. Also, pointless villains that are there just to die instead of being developed. Oh, and boredom, lots and lots of boredom.

Well, if I can tolerate the internet, I can tolerate TV series when they show different kinds of people. And I prefer "little kids" as protagonists over asshole characters or empty shells all the time.

Well, that was the point. Inexperienced, juvenile angels in training that had to stop a fallen Gosei Angel from destroying the planet. They were not who you'd expect to save the world, but they did.

And they weren't developed much because even the leaders of each faction were little more than MOTWs to the true villain of the show who scouted the world from orbit, looked for weak points beneath the surface, and used robotic laboratories to finalize his plan to destroy the planet.

Up to episode 45 of Dekaranger. Deka is similar to Boukenger in how it's a largely episodic series lacking a full-season plot, but is ultimately much better because:

1) the episodes are just better on average
2) there are a bunch of 2-part episodes allowing for some better-paced short stories
3) Dekaranger has the throughline of Agent Abrella, who remarkably debuts in the first five episodes but is unknown to the Dekarangers until like episode 30. Abrella has the rare qualities of being mysterious, understated (at least at first), AND threatening. Rock-solid villain.

So yeah TL;DR I'm almost done with Dekaranger and it's really good. Still stuck around episode 30 with Jetman and episode 5 to 10 with a few other shows. I've also been writing reviews of the Super Sentai series I've finished on my blog, linked in my signature.

To tag off of Monsoon, I actually finished Dekaranger just now.

Dude, that was one hell of a series. Kudos to whoever worked on that. I still think Arakawa's finest work was Abaranger, but Dekaranger was awesome, I did not expect to like it that much considering I'm not too much of an episodic type of guy but those did work.

I'm going to write a final review but it will take some time, but what a great series.

You forgot "4) Umeko."
