Gobus 25. The last few episodes of Gobus have left a bit to be desired, but this was a glorious return to form. The perfect celebration of the half way mark.

Escape is super hot, but it's all becoming a little too forced for my tastes. I find a woman becomes incredibly less appealing when a show can't stop going on about it, just look at poor Amy. It's a shame too, because the fights with her really are fantastic. I guess as she's not a suit, she has much freer range of movement, and as she isn't a suit they feel they need to accentuate the way she moves that much more to compensate. It really does work for great effect, in a sea of stumpy arms, and frozen expressions fights that feel like they jumped straight out of GARO are welcome. Shame this is one reinvention from Gobus, amongst many, which were lost in Kyoryuger.

Honestly the action was amazing in general. The way the Busters are so good individually, but also brilliant as a team. When Ryuuji literally used his overheating "weakness" to get a boost in the battle, catching bullets in mid air and throwing around his super strength. Seeing Ace get another trip out. SO AWESOME.

Anyway, this shows attention to detail is wonderful, it's rare to watch a show so careful and in control. I guess Saban didn't adapt this because they know they'd never hold it together as well.
