So I just spent the evening watching the first 8 episodes to Jetman. The last time I watched this show was in 2004, in piss poor 2MB/Ep quality, and raw with every other episode having its audio out of synch. As such, I don't really remember too much about the show's basics, just the important events that happen, so it feels like I am watching most of this for the first time. Nevertheless, it is pretty enjoyable, but there are some issues I do have with it, which seem to be stand out even worse now seeing it sub.

The first episode feels extremely rushed, but it is the fourth episode that I would say was the worst of the bunch in tonight's viewing. One minute Kaori is happy, then she is sad, then she meets her fiancee, tells him she wants to continue being a ranger, then tells the others she is going to marry him, they go off into battle and somehow Kaori and her fiancee are getting married? How is that even possible? Were the rangers fighting Road Dimension for days? How did they get a church, get the dresses, and a priest all within minutes? It just doesn't make sense.

Anyway, outside of that, I have enjoyed the series quite a bit thus far, even more so than previously. I will stand on my thoughts from years ago that this show has some of the weakest MOTW designs I have ever seen. I love the designs of the Vyram commanders (especially Ridiguet and Grey), but their monsters look extremely lackluster.

With that said, I'll probably watch another batch of episodes tomorrow, but we'll see. The snow storm from Sunday has got me in the mood to watch The Shining.
