[SPLIT LIP]

Wow, this looks not great.

I like the idea, but the mecha have that problem many homage mecha/designs do where they're referencing a much better design and failing to capture what made the original great.

I mean, Sentai has been kind of awful as far as designs and concepts for years now, but this is one where I think the concept is sound, just not the execution. The fact that Gaokid and DaizyuJr are retools of each other despite the original mecha having totally different aesthetics makes them feel too generic. (whereas DaiBokid looks like a decent homage)

Who knows, maybe the toys will have some hidden gimmick that pulls it all together, but... eh, Sentai hasn't had that faith from me for literally years. (since DaiBouken himself, as a matter of fact)
