[Fish Sandwich]

Oh, and since LuPat is as recent as it is, I can go ahead and share here the very first sentence I ever wrote in reaction to an episode of it, straight from the premiere's discussion thread:

Like I said, love at first sight. I think what's especially crazy is that usually when a show like that comes along, I'll get burned out on it to some degree eventually, but in LuPat's case, well...

...outside of this show, I don't think I ever have either! I'm not even sure what exactly prompted it. I think I just decided to go back to the first episode on a whim, to see where it all started or whatever probably, and then, like, I just didn't stop? It's not even fair to other shows how entertaining I find LuPat.

I still remember when your user title was "Salt VS Pepper"! (At least I think I'm remembering that right?) I really liked that. I don't know if this was specifically part of the intention, but I always thought that was a shockingly concise description of the dynamic between Patren #1 and Lupin Red.

More concise than anything I can say about this show will ever be, at least! I'd be careful about tempting me into talking about the second episode. I might start going on and on all about how LuPat's focus on CG in the mecha action is maybe the only time I've ever thought they made that look good, or the utterly fantastic moments Keiichirou gets in there, or...

I'm *not* doing that, is the point! What do you think this is, a Fish Sandwich Rewatches Lupinranger VS Patranger thread? ...Which is totally one of the many ideas I half-considered before deciding to do the whole Zenkai Tour thing, for the record.

Hey, in the case of this particular show, having different perspectives is just staying on-brand!

Spice in an interesting enough ongoing plotline and it's been keeping me hooked for a bit now -- just a great show all in all at the moment

On a completely unrelated note, I also want to make sure I take a moment to say how nice it was reading this. Obviously my brain is not exactly focused on Magiranger right now, but that's still a show I like a whole lot, and it makes me happy seeing other people having fun with it too.
