Episode 2 of Changeman and we have much of the same problem wise as before. Not much is given plot wise aside from the villains (I like how there are repercussions for failure) and Ibuki makes a speech which honestly should have been in episode one. The biggest issue here though is pacing. Again everything just happens way too fast, even faster than episode one. The entire episode is literally nothing but fighting with four scenes of talking. And like before the fights aren't interesting because the team pretty much just walk through the enemy (also how in the hell did Change Dragon get shot in the stomach by a laser and be fine only moments later?). It was nice to see them actually show the changing between sword/shield and gun mode but holy shit do the special attacks S U C K.

I'm really trying here, but damn is this show making it hard. No real character development (or anything resembling characters really), almost no plot, and pacing which makes the episodes feel like a car crash with uninteresting fights. Changeman you were written by one the heralded writers in some call Sentai's golden age. What. The fuck. Happened?
