But WHAT IN THE HELL WAS THAT!? Am I allowed to fire Sakamoto? I swear I don't think anything could have prepared me for survival-horror Dekaranger.

In other news, I have the Zyuranger DVD boxed set now, expect reactions in the near future!

The Metal Hero franchise is in a really weird spot right now. They keep on trying to revive interest in the franchise by tugging on the nostalgia strings but with both Kamen Rider and Sentai on the air and all the crap they pump out for both shows every year, not to mention Ultraman's continued growth, releasing a third show at this point would probably be suicide as far as toy sales go. That's not even getting into the identity crisis of the entire franchise, something made worse by Modern Kamen Rider stripping most of its unique elements and modernizing them.
