Decided to pick up Go-Busters again, which I said I'd do forever. I went with episode 15, as I'm pretty sure I saw past this, but this is one of the first episodes that is really crucial to the plot, beyond the first couple.

I kinda get why people didn't like this show. Go-Busters really doesn't feel like a sentai series. The leather looking suits, the fact the show places much more focus on story, world building and character than on the action, it all feels more like your average Kamen Rider show, than sentai. Personally I love this direction as I think out of the two big ones, Kamen Rider is a much, much better franchise (imo), but if you're a sentai die hard I can see why this might be challenging.

And it isn't to say the action is bad. The designs for the villains are awesome, especially considering they are just made out of household appliances and stuff. And I love how people are actually in danger, and need to be saved by the Busters. Monster fighting is wicked, but seeing our heroes save the day is even better.

If I was gonna complain about anything, it's J. I love the Buddyroid designs in this show, and as much as the suits have grown on me, I can't help but be disappointed by how much cooler J looks BEFORE he transforms.

I didn't realise how much I missed this show.
