[Switchblade]

I wasn't sure if I was gong to watch the second episode or not, but I ultimately decided that it wouldn't hurt anything to give the show a second chance. I thought it was reasonably enjoyable, overall.

I do like the characters, so far. I think I have at least a good basic sense of most of theme and Yamato, in particular, feels very well done. After Ninninger it's nice to have a Red whose default state isn't "screaming moron." The others are still a bit basic, but also likable. I'm a bit iffy on the animal costume humor scenes, but compared to some of the comic relief we're getting in Rider these days, they're not that obnoxious and they aren't overstaying their welcome so far.

I'm finding myself intrigued by the villains. I like the idea of Earth being an arena for their destructive gladiatorial games - it's not a complex motivation, but I do like that there's an obvious goal from the outset.

I'm starting to the feel the Minecraft Megazord a bit more. It's still dumb, but it's turning into more of an amusing dumb than an infuriating dumb.

I think I'll stick with the show for now. I'll probably get bored and drop it like I tend to do with Super Sentai, but for now it's reasonably entertaining.
