January, actually. And the last thing they put out was a Skyrider back in May...

I mean, I'm in no hurry to watch the rest, so I guess I'm not complaining...but they've done literally just three episodes of the original since 2013 ended. Doesn't seem like they're in much of a hurry at all at this point.

suspend your disbelief.

Things like having most of the monsters have obnoxious sounds don't have anything to do with budget or even the time period, just with...poor choices. Especially because not everything is like that. If they can have Armadillong feature simple but non-grating grunts as its signature sound, there's no reason Arikimedes has to sound like a high cackling madwoman. And my hatred of the Combatmen yells is neverending. It's simply obnoxious.

Also, I know it's old, and I know it was on a shoestring budget. Those are explanations for potential flaws, but they are not excuses. Even making as many allowances as I can to account for when and how it was made, it's just such not a good series.
