I think that cake episode highlighted probably the one thing I dislike about Goseiger, the budget betrays the concepts. Goseiger puts in WAY more effort than most Sentai to make things feel big and threatening. Quite a lot of the battles have convinced me that if not the whole planet is in danger, the fight is at least larger than the space of an abandoned warehouse.

The only problem is, with budgetary tightness, the bigger the conflict the more humanity Goseiger looses. So when they try reigning in the story to bring the human aspect back in amongst all the exploding cardboard buildings, it makes the Goseigers come across as oddly selfish and bizarrely narrow minded.

Another episode that springs to mind, that suffers similar issues, is that one where that electric Warstar effects the electricity of the entire city. However the focus of all these goings on, is entirely on a SINGLE surgery. If we just take into account the impact of the loss of power just in the single hospital, the death toll would be devastating. But that isn't taking into account cities have multiple hospitals, whole countries probably have hundreds, the world probably has millions and with our world centring around electricity there would be a wider impact than hospitals.

And I know someone is going to tell me I'm missing the point or something, but all I'm trying to say, is I admire Goseiger attempting to address the bigger picture but due to what they have to work with, it actually works in their detriment.

After three days away, I can't wait to watch more either way.
