[Switchblade]

Episode 1

Pacing? What is this "pacing" you speak of?

Yeah, that was really rushed. "Hey kids, magic exists, here's your weapons, go fight, kthxbai!" Way to get your children murdered, lady.

Is it me, or is the audio synch off on this episode? Not sure if that's the show's fault or TVN's. I assume the latter since this is one of their older projects using TV rips. And thanks for not translating some of those words with no English counterparts like "mom" and "brothers."

No real sense of the characters beyond basic archetypes so far. Kai looks like he may get kind of annoying, but probably not Jan-tier obnoxious.

Hope the special effects get better, as the green screen stuff here is really bad. I've seen worse, but that bit with Kai falling off the pole was still awful.

I will probably never watch the end credits again. The song isn't Zyuranger ending bad, but it ain't good. Also, this is the lamest dancing I've ever seen in a Sentai's end credits.

Villains are pretty badass. I forgot how cool those mooks are. Always loved the Wolzard suit, too.

Houka really, really isn't Vida, is she?

Episode 2

Man, the monster designs for this show are great. Man, the effects for Houka's shapechanging are shit.

I'm liking the action so far, although I could do with less sibling squabbling.

Pacing is still kinda rocky. Your mom died like two hours ago and you're already back to joking around with your little brother? What the hell, heroes?

"N Ma" is a really cool name.

Nai and Mare look pretty fun, but, again, I could do with less of the Shrapnel verbal tic. Tic. But if a show wants me to like it, it really can't go wrong with hot goth chicks. Chicks.

Soccer ball attack. Very Gorenger/Kakuranger. I dig it.

Little plant puppet I am going to hate you.
