Kyoryuger 40 - Although Amy and Souji are still in desperate need of some focus, this Nossan focussed episode was just so damn fun I couldn't help but love it all the same. Nossan really is a badass, when the show wants him to be.

Here I am at the final stretch. When I first watched Kyoryuger when it was first airing, I fell in love with the wonderful production values. But after maybe a month of consistently strong episodes, I found myself thrust face first into almost two months of filler before a sixth ranger appeared and began to tread down the path of the most tired sixth cliches.

Yeah, I was done by this point. And maybe it also defeats the point that I've had to skip like HALF the show to get to this point the second time, but I honestly think that says more about the show than it does me. And isn't it better to enjoy a bands best hits album, than to not appreciate the band at all?

The plot's a mess, the characters are undeveloped, the Ranger suits are boring, the mech gets increasingly worse and yet it's just so fun. Mindless, Michael Bayesque fun maybe, but even when the humour misses - which it often does - the action is always on point. It's gorgeous, high concept, EPIC stuff. And I'm just having a great time.
