FINALLY uploaded on Youtube.

Maybe it's because I've had months of having all my hopes and dreams crushed, and it's reduced my standards or something, but I actually really really enjoyed that episode. They really handled the changeover from Goseiger to Gokaiger really well in my opinion. Plus the new powers, they actually felt like a big deal, it was FUN. I missed that.

Minus Noah, who doesn't work for all the same reasons as he didn't work in Megaforce, I think the cast matched up well. Honestly I think this cast works better with Gokaiger footage than they did Goseiger, honestly. Maybe if I was a Gokaiger fan I wouldn't think so, but I'd had them telling me that this wouldn't work at all for a year and at least in terms of this episode, I can say they were wrong!

It was also like...really violent...like way more violent than I expected. I know there was no strawberry jam on their faces, but there were a lot of buildings exploding, at least one shot of a person being blown up, quite a few more shots of the Xborgs throwing people on the ground and quite a few scenes of crowds of people running, screaming and being shot at by the Xborgs. I dunno how they're getting away with this but I LIKE IT. What an epic invasion and what an epic way to start the series.

About the only thing I don't like was that it was all wrapped up in one episode. Why couldn't they have been on the ropes for the whole season? Does that mean after this episode they're gonna go back to eating smoothies and doing maths while an alien army hangs about in the sky? That is stupid.
