For starters, I'd like to point out the obvious, that from the get go... I am really not a fan of Super Sentai. As, I can barely do Power Rangers as is... and that is more of a Nostalgia crack than anything.

So, I decided. Like Decade, I would take the newb route, and watch something with an anniversary show that features "ALL DAH GUIZE!", thus Gokaiger. Just as I had done previously with Decade.

However, if the shoe still doesn't fit... chances are you arn't going to want to wear it, even if it comes under the guise of being awesome...and having pirates... FRIGGEN. PIRATES!

I still just couldn't get into Gokaiger. As there seemed to be almost no point to it, other then to fanwank...everywhere. As, aside from it being a anniversary show, all the show really -is- is fanwank. Which, for previous fans of Sentai... That is possibly a good thing? However, for someone just stepping onto the grass from the pavement... Eh?

Now, this isn't to say I don't have my own qualms with Power Rangers itself... but for some reason, I feel myself more emotionally involved in Power Rangers, then I do in Gokaiger... As, nothing really happens in the show, and it simply serves it's own purpose to fanwank and follow the formula... honestly I'm tired of the formula, it's why I have been enjoying Akibaranger so much, is that it is a tribute show... but it is aware of it, but it is okay with it, because it still tries to entertain the audience despite it being a tribute show.

There are however, elements I do enjoy about Gokaiger...

Luka, Pirates, Luka... Pirates... Ok, yeah... that is about it, and that is pretty much my point, is that the show does little to lure me in, other then "Yeah, it's got pirates...and a hot chick... but she is super hot...so yeah." which oddly enough worked for a bit, until the introduction of a certain someone...

A certain... Fankwank whore...

I'm talking about Gokai Silver. God, I hate the character sooooooooooooooo much. He is like... if someone just read up what Otaku meant, and then went about there buissness in writing him...

Now, I know. This is a kids show, why even get worked up about it? Well... I'm really not. It is just weird, that the toku-fans find this show to be like "Gods gift to man!!!!", where as... I really just didn't care for the lackluster story-lines, the seemingly underwhelming fighting, and the fact that despite thei rtagline they did not infact, "Make it showy."

So, if I had to rate the show? I'd give it a 6/10.

Rate the zord? 9/10 (It -is- a pretty awesome zord... until all the gimmicks come left and right...and then it is flail/fail-tastic.)

Villians? Mixed feelings, some of them genuinly are decent villians, IE: Vasco...
So, in sections

Prince of the Zangyck: 3/10

Insarn: 8/10

Barizorg: 3/10 (Way to not go anywhere cool with that Gokaiger...)

Vasco: 9/10

So, those are about my feelings of Gokaiger... and in loo of it. I hope that akibara surpasses it, and goes beyond the 16 or so episodes we where promised... because as I said, even though it is covered in fanwank... it is okay with it, and doesn't feel the need to "Delude" (Do ho ho) Itself anymore then it has to.

So yes, those are my thoughts on Gokaiger, what are yours?
