Since I plan to get myself up in the morning, so I can be refreshed and ready for a busy work week, I decided to watch a couple of episodes of Goseiger before bed, rather than attempting to start another movie.

So here we go, Epic 26, officially I've gone past the mid way point now. I honestly think Goseiger has gone downhill a fair amount. The opening Warstar Arc was INCREDIBLE it had epic battles, just the right amounts of tension and comedy, the characterisation was strong, with focused character arcs and not a moment of filler.

The Yuuma arc on the other hand basically feels entirely like a filler arc, like what they do in an anime that has almost caught up to the manga. I know a lot of new stuff has been introduced in the Yuuma arc but not a lot of it is stuff I particularly like.

Gosei Knight was interesting to begin with, but then the show doesn't really seem to like him, leaving me to wonder why they invented him at all if they aren't going to actually bother including him in the show.

And although I like how big and flashy the Super Modes are, they take all of the Angels personal identities away and that was what made the action scenes so enjoyable.

This episode itself included an asinine plot about some gourd that can suck laughing people into it or some shit with a monster who has "tickling wind". Episodes with plots like this are the reason I dropped Kyoryuger. I especially hated it when Alata laughed at fart jokes, come on man!

I guess it doesn't help that this is apparently built around some weird Japanese humour that I've never heard of. I didn't understand the jokes at the beginning and Alata's costume gags were baffling.

Plus the action was surprisingly...weird...why was it that when Tengu used his power, it was just the same piece of prerecorded footage looped over and over? It looked terrible.
