Well I finished Super Samurai and man, what a waste. Sure, their original suits were clunky looking, especially the Shogun mode, but come on, put them to use!!!

Anyway, honestly, I can't hate the show because I don't hate SHinkenger, and it really was nearly identical. Even the dialog was word for word at times.

I think the biggest let down was the whole Dayuu and Dekker thing. They clearly wanted to go with their original path, but let the Jp footage dictate it, so it came out very underwhelming and felt inconclusive to me. Plus, I hated how they kept talking about Dayuu's music but you never actually ever heard her play it once on screen.

I think my favorite episode of the series is the one where Bulk and Skull land at the dojo to return Mia's wallet because everything with Emily during those scenes were golden. Is it just me though, or did we never get to see Emily and Mike use Shogun mode? Maybe I was distracted, but I don't remember ever seeing them use it.

Overall, Samurai was better than I was anticipating, I just wished they hadn't change the Dayuu/Dekker stuff because their changes went nowhere with the characters' themselves.
