Gobus 24. DAT DAY FOR NIGHT.

Sigh, so the new direction for Gobus is for it to become another generic goofy sentai? RUINED IT! The only real positive to come out of this is it seems the creators really don't want to change and seem to be arguing with the producers through the show.

What this episode lacked though, it more than made up for in the action. Yoko and Ryuuji's double team special buster was both a visual treat, but also really cool and the kind of unspoken character development that toku can do pretty uniquely through the action.

Meanwhile Ace is the best mech design in this show, and one of the best sentai mechs ever, so seeing Hiromu get to pilot it without it having to combine with anything else was really enjoyable. About the only combination I like in this show (ironically perhaps) is when all the robos come together as one, well all the robos so far. No other base design, or combination, does anything for me.
