I still think the mecha is absolutely crap though. Shinken-Oh as a whole is an awesome design, but the individual mecha and all of the attachments are down right terrible looking. THe worst is when they combine with Shinken-Oh because the helmets look bad, but it is the backpacks that really make it look down right dreadful. Oh yeah, and those stupid fuzzy laughing things on Doukoku's ship are still absolutely pointless. What was Toei thinking?

With that said, we'll see if my opinion of Genta changes tomorrow as well.

the fuzzy things actually do serve somewhat of a purpose. but to elaborate would be a massive spoiler. although...if you've watched PR Samurai then you probably know I guess. it's of course executed better though in Shinkenger so you may appreciate it more. But I know what you mean...they come across as sesame street like things which can take you out of the experience a bit given the tone of the show. Shinkenger Returns and Shinkenger VS. Go-Onger IMO are the best of the series. you could probably almost watch them now. there is nothing plot-wise that I think would be a spoiler as they are self-contained...except for the mecha but if you watched PR samurai or kept up in the news of that then you know what all that is. so it wouldn't be spoiler really, but if you are the type to watch things in order I certain respect that too.

Have you seen Boukenger or Go-Onger? Those are my favs.

As far as what I'm watching...I've still not finished Go-Busters yet. I like it and such and I can't remember the last episode I watched but I know it's before any new heroes arrive. It's just a tad on the boring side and I miss some of the classic cheesy roll calls and poses. I also noticed a hefty chunk of Kakuranger and CArranger are subbed now so I started watching those but stopped cuz I don't like to watch too much sentai at once but I definitely will soon. Also, I usually watch on my ps3 and I think all of carranger is mkv. hmph.
