I need to finish Gokaiger once I get the rest of the episodes. also people here seem to shit talk Gavan a lot, so should I just avoid the Gavan crossover flick?

You should. It's gets pretty awesome. And speaking of which...

Gekiranger 19-21

Holy shit, 19 got intense. The Gekirangers first utter defeat by Rio, who's mastered all of Hawk's and Jellyfish's teachings. And man was that a beatdown. Miki literally had to smack some sense into the three of them after they were down and about to give up.

Also got a little more background on Retsu's brother. Not much aside form Rio mentioning that he defeated him before, which definitely pissed off Retsu. Very sort of Dragonball-esque promise Shafu made to Rio with him essentially saying, "These three have untapped potential to become more powerful in x amount of time, wouldn't you rather face them once they're stronger?"

And they definitely got stronger with the introduction of the last three Kensei, Gorilla, Penguin, and Gazelle. I think Gazelle might be my favorite one out of all of 'em. I mean he says he just goes around beating poachers up with his fists? That has to be pretty surreal for the poachers though...

I liked how the Gekirangers had to learn their weaknesses (which were the others strong suits) though Jan didn't really learn his lesson until 21. And Retsu's fight against Gazelle was pretty awesome. I didn't expect it to go on for as long as it did. He got the shit kicked out of him, but he managed to pull it off.

The Kageki mode is pretty cool and Jan managing to beat the mess outta Rio was pretty pretty badass. This is the most serious Jan's ever really been. I mean he didn't really tend to goof off when shit went down, but he got pissed at the end of 19 which continued on until 21 until he learned started to get with the team spirit again. Interesting to see him get pissed enough to fight briefly with Retsu. They usually get along well enough.

It was pretty dickish of Hawk and Jellyfish to say..."We'll destroy the city if the Gekirangers lose..." and then they attacked it a bit anyway. I was pretty surprised they showed the scene where the kids mom got crushed by rubble and appeared dead when her son tried to wake her up. Rin Jyuken is evil as shit. Rio even refers to the people of the city as 'humans' like he's no longer one himself.

Also we get new Geki Beasts this episode. Weird that they can 'pilot' these beasts individually, but haven't done so yet with the Gekibeasts their suits are based on. And we get a new mech, GekiFire.....eh. I don't really like it as much as Geki Touja honestly. But the rest of the episodes? Pretty awesome.
