So can we talk about how great this first episode was? Because I loved every second of it

This is just so gloriously silly I mean Kyoryuger had its silly moments too but here it just feels so much better with the cast fully embracing it too, with the obvious slapstick and fourth wall breaking. That being said, the plot is still genuinely interesting and took quite a dark turn right at the end - I'm with you guys thinking they might be dead or near-death, but my other theory is that with the memories of them lost (not just to each other, but to the world too perhaps?) it makes them "as good as dead" and therefore perfect to operate as ToQgers full-time.

But best of all, this show is just BEAUTIFUL. I was sold on all the designs from the get-go anyway, but there wasn't a single suit, model or shot in this episode I didn't like. The miniature work has always been one my favourite aspects of tokusatsu so I'm overjoyed to see how much its being used here. I could watch the Rainbow Line and ToQOh all day

The colour gimmick was handled wonderfully too, its nice to have a moment of the heroes just completely messing around with their powers ToQ #5 is definitely going to be the fun one to watch in battle I think.

And to top it off, real trains in the credits!

Not that I wasn't already, but I'm 100% sold on this show. It is going to be one brilliant year.
