Megaranger 01
It was an alright first Episode all things considered. The Acting ranged from Ok to downright terrible though especially the Arcade Bully was atrocious
The Story setup is pretty typical for Sentai but lets see what they do with it. The Arcade thing was pretty dumb though. I like the idea in and of itself but the whole Plotpoint is made superflous when they tell us that the Suits are preprogrammed with certain fighting moves. Everyone could have used them so why set up dozens or hundreds of Testsimulators if it really doesnt matter in the end.
Actionwise it was pretty solid and I liked that we saw their Helmets telling them how to fight their Enemies. I dont know how to feel about the Characters yet since we dont know much about them but they all seem pretty likeable so far.
I gotta say though its really hard for me not to hear Endorfs/Shinken Reds Dads Voice when Mega Blue talks
Like the Story the Villains are not very original but get the Job done and I always love me some Villains that attack the Heroes home base right at the beginning of the show
Megaranger 02
A really good follow up to the first Episode and can pretty much be seen as the second half of a two parter. We get alot more information regarding their powers and why those five are pretty much the only people right now who can fight Nezirezia. I also got a better sense for their personality even if its still not much
The Henshin though feels really boring. Their is absolutely no Energy to it and doesnt really get me pumped for the action scenes even though they are pretty well made. I also really dig the Designs of the Heroes in this show especially the Helmets feel very unconventional and kinda otherworldly.
Their Mecha looks really cool and the combination sequence of Galaxy Mega was also pretty cool. The fight was a very basic first fight an not much to write home about.
The Villains are still really generic but they seem to have some connection to the Megaranger powers if I understood the implications correctly.
Together with the first Episode it was a really solid start to the season and I am looking forward to more.
Megaranger 03
Now that we got the introduction for the setting out of the way its time to dwelve more into the characters.
In this Episode we learn more about the Knight of Hatred...I mean the 17th Head of the Shiba Clan and by that I mean Mega Blue aka Shun
Shun is that no nonsense calm type of Character that has his mind set on his goals and knows exactly how to achieve them. With such a rather cold personality its only natural that he clashes with the hotheaded Kenta and the rest of the Episode its pretty much them learning more about each other and them kinda becoming friends.
I gotta say I like Shun even though he was a pretty big ass at the beginning of this Episode and seemed very full of himself but as soon as he learned he doesnt have to do everything on his own he became much more likeable.
The Henshin this week was alot more awesome than the last two times
In regards to the action it was again really solid but my favorite part has to be the figth with Galaxy Mega. It wasnt flashy or even that long but I really like the robots personality.
The Villains still didnt do much and I really have problems remembering their names xD
It was a solid Episode again and I expect every one of them to get a focus Episode before the show starts to dwelve into a more involved storyline.
Megaranger 04
A pretty good Episode like last time and we got to learn more about Koichi aka Mega Black. He is pretty much the strong big brother type of this show like Mammoth Ranger and Gao Black in their respective seasons.
I really like how he takes being a Megaranger so overly serious with his micromanagement
He also got the best fight scene of the show thus far and it perfectly showed what I love about Super Sentai. He has no problems to fight off the Monster but he cant completely destroy it without the help of his Teammates.
The Design of the Monster was really awesome this Episode and hey it comes with its own Internet connection
The one thing though that was really weird was the Mentors speech about the Internet being the cause of people getting hurt. It sounded like he completely forgot for a moment who the actual enemy was xD
Megaranger 05
By far my favourite Episode yet and surprisingly its not a focus Episode for one of the heroes...but for their Mecha.
Galaxy Mega is slowly turning into my absolute favorite Mecha. Not because of his Design or his weaponry but he has what so few Sentai Robos have...a personality. He doesnt talk like DaiZyuJin but he hast that certain aura around him that makes him into a character in its own right.
I really liked how they made him move and feel completely different when he is not Piloted by the Megaranger. Also that fight scene with Ebi Nezire was freaking brutal.
Storywise it was the classic "The Human heart will always be stronger than a machine"trope but it was really well executed. You got a real feeling that the five Heroes and especially Kenta care for Galaxy Mega.
