Skipping episode eleven, it's time to Brave In! ...to episode 12.

I think I may have officially made it past the point where I dropped the show last time, and I'm enjoying it a lot so far. Shows how much the sheer quantity of filler bogs this series down, what have I skipped five of twelve episodes? That is terrible, on the shows part. And if the flashback is anything to go on, all I missed was the cameras obsession with a fifteen year old girl.

The Deboss continue to have great designs and in a day and age where usually Rangers just wear plain attire, I love Utchy's ridiculous outfit. He's a pretty awesome character in general so far. Fierce protector of children, and wanting to be appear stronger on the outside for fear of those seeing who he is inside as weakness. And seeing him ride the Kentrospiker was just epic.

Tell you what though, the full roll call with him in it is AWFUL. Hearing Samba and Japanesey period music played AT THE SAME TIME Jesus fucking Christ. It isn't even like it's a remix or anything, they literally just blare the sounds over one another. Also, I absolutely hate how his addition to the mecha is a backpack with wings stuck on it. It just makes Kyoryuzin look bulky as fuck and I actually like the base design a lot, so it ruins it for me.

Even though these are shows about Spandex Clad Heroes, I always appreciate a good excuse for them to be left without their powers, having to fight in their civilian forms. I dunno, you watch a lot of older toku especially there is this firm disconnect between Hero and Character so I appreciate efforts like this to really bring the two closer together.
