[Kamen Rider Lucha]

This episode is fucking awesome. I can't believe we had two whole episodes dedicated to the Kinji werewolf plot. And the resulting Super StarNinger design is literally my favorite ever Sentai 6th ranger design. It is so flashy and cool and a completely different silhouette from anything Sentai has done before, while still reading as distinctly Sentai. I just have to applaud their willingness to go kind of nuts. Super StarNinger is the Elvis-inspired cowboy Sentai member of my wildest dreams.

Seriously, I'm starting to get actually annoyed by the people who are spouting their disdain for this show. I had tolerance for their opinion up to a certain point, but I'm past the limit. I have to wonder if the haters are actually watching it. And if they are, I'm gonna say it, I question if they even like Sentai to begin with. Ninninger is such an effective distillation of everything I think makes Sentai great that I find it in unfathomable to believe anyone with a love for and understanding of the franchise would hate it. It's utterly baffling. Does it have its weak spots? Sure. But there has never been a flawless Sentai. I have no idea what standard they're holding the show to.

i mean, if you sincerely hate Ninninger, you be you. Go with God. But I'm never gonna get it.
