[Blade Raider]

I am a sucker for scenes with both ranger and zord in the same frame. Dman you Toei, you knew that'd keep me around.

That said, I'm getting my bitching out of the way right now:
1) Dance to henshin is still the most moronic (for lack a stronger word that doesn't insult the mentally disabled) thing I've ever seen. It has no rhyme or reason to exist.

2) Dear morpher/narrator, shut the fuck up. You make my ears bleed. You sound like Mickey Mouse trying to talk like Krang while impersonating Tomokazu Seki. You ruined an otherwise awesome role play toy.

3) This one's not nearly as annoying as the other two. The opening theme wasn't used very well in the fight. They used the slow part when the fast part would've worked a lot better.



Now for some good:
1) Action direction. Oh Sakamoto, will I ever tire of you? The T-Rex and Red fighting together was a lot of fun to watch. The T-Rex's finisher (fighting the big monster) was insanly awesome.

2) There's at least some since of character in this episode. Blue looks to be a lot like Flynn mix with some Ziggy. Green looks to be the quiet guy that doesn't like guns. Black seems to have a huge ego (and I think he's suppose to be American...in which case I have to ask where the cowboy hat is). Pink is "the girl." Red...all I really got from him without subs was that he knew the mentor and was naming attacks before he gets powers.

3) The villain generals are just as goofy as they look. The head guy looks strangely like the Statue of Liberty. I'm pretty sure the location that Black fights near the first is suppose to be the base of the Statue of Liberty. It's just odd. Hope the subs help that. Also, the Ice Age themed monster was a great design.


I'm not exactly sure the team forms at the end, but that's something the subs will clear up. I'll be back when the subs are out and I know what's being said.

PS The first line of the show spoken by a human is "What is that?!" To that, I have to say good question. I have no idea what the dumb troops are suppose to be. They look like Jamaican amoebas. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I just wanted to say Jamaican amoebas.
