Also the main villains are named after mythological beasts from greek history/folklore.So,Cerberus,Hydra,Centaur,Harpy,Chimera,Pegasus,and Cyclops just to name a few....wait,Pegasus was good right? And he has a unicorn plamonster,we've seen he can change sizes,and his bike can turn into wings letting him ride things......MY GOD...XD

Speaking of Greek mythology, our police woman's surname is Daimon. I could try to explain it, but honestly wiki's first sentence does that better than I could so quote time.

That sounds like a really good role for a supporting character, doesn't it?

...Yeah, I'm probably overthinking that. Afterall, I don't know if daimon has any meaning in Japanese context. Could just be a fun coincidence.



PS Before anyone asks, "daimon" and "daemon" are the same thing, just different spellings.

This was a really packed episode. It reminds me of Blade in how you're just thrown into what feels more like a second or third episode than a first, which means I'm confused as hell, but on the upside, look at all that action! There's like, slow-motion bullets and dragons and swords and crap, it's exciting.

Also, tiny Haruto riding Unicorn made me laugh.

It's not a format issue, it's a quality one. O-T uses 10bit encodes for their HD releases. It's gloriously beautiful when it plays right, but not everything can handle it. My old PC couldn't at all and even on my new MacBook I need to use MPlayerX because my old stand-by, VLC, had the same color issues and a lot of problems with artifacts. If your tv can't handle the HD, try again with the SD version.

Technetium, Please!

Well I noticed that things were based off mythology just from his model kit helper bots. Garuda (Hindu), Unicorn (Greek), and Kraken (Norse).

Meh, it isn't that big of a deal for me. It isn't too bad, just something I noticed while CarRanger did not do it. I'll see if an unconverted Gobuster and AkibaRanger episode does the same.

This is the first time I've actually caught a KR show reasonably close to its air date.

I really liked it. It all seemed a bit silly when they were promo'ing it, but then, really all of the KRs and Sentais seem to, and then you actually see them in context and it's OK after all.

Really liked the Rider Kick and the bike merging with the dragon. Also the "C'MON & SHOOT--SHAKE HANDS!" thing is the right mix of goofiness and coolness I've come to expect from toku in general.

I like it. I'll keep watching. :)

What do you guys think of Rinko or another member of the main cast eventually becoming a prominent villain somewhere down the line?

That depends, will she still be wearing really tight pants? ;)

Suuuuuure why not?

She could be all goth-like if you want. :lol
