Kyoryuger 02.

I hope in Dino Charge Aigron is the 'Knight of Fear' rather than sorrow, sorrow doesn't really fit. Not to mention that a pile of junk makes no sense either. Still Aigron seems kinda dumb, but seeing him swat that finishing move aside with relative ease says that he ain't no joke.

Disappointed the secret identity thing is being undone already, I get that they couldn't have done it for the whole show but it was interesting and fresh and seems a shame.

At least it gave way to character focus already. Really enjoying Nobu and King. I know we learn a lot about Ami as well, but the whole 'I may be a princess but I can kick your ass' archetype is a really tired one.

Nossan on the other hand, being the comic relief character and all, it was nice to see him so fiercely protective of his family and actually have characterisation rather than bein just simply.... there.

Plus, as King is the red, it was nice seeing him help out his team and the general public and just really earn his colour, especially as the team aren't really a team yet.

The transformation is still horrible, from Daigo holding the toy right to the camera, to turning up in an entirely different location to the illfitting dancing to once again getting a sword from nowhere as the gun vanishes. Luckily the action was way better this time. Absolutely love the high energy and style from KyoryuRed and KyoryuGreen's suit actors.

Plus, although I don't normally like toku giant stuff, so far this show has done it pretty well. I love Kyoryuzin's design and although I still hate the low production values of these sections, I admit I'd sooner take plasticy appearance and CG movement over the usual looks like cardboard appearance of the robos. I've got no excuse for the cockpit or the combination though, both of which I think are horrible and I hope Dino Charge changes.
