Either on TV Nihon torrents, or Kissasian. did that change since then ?

I know some people don't like TVN, I don't really try to know why (I'm not picky with subs and don't really want my party to be pooped on), but you know, when you're in the desert, you take anything that is edible even if you would like caviar.



I'm done with Gouraigan.
As I said before, I understand why people hate it. If you look at it with tokusatsu/sentai in mind, that's trash. But that's not how it should be taken.
That's clearly a Sentai parody/mockery (without bad intentions) from Amemiya's part. It should not be taken seriously.
And for a parody, that's pretty good. Exaggeration in everything that makes Sentai a Sentai + parody element
- Exaggerated facial expressions and attitude from the protagonists
- fourth wall breaking all over the place
- cameos from past "seasons" (should be taken as "previous Amemiya's work") : Hijii Mika and that brush scene + Gan being played by KR Saga/Byakuya Kishi Dan
- Plot being literally episode 1 and then 9/10 to 13, mimicking how often past tokus were plot at the beginning, lot of filler in the middle, and then plot again around Episode 40
- The "vilain" being redeemed fairly easily for an absurd reason, helping the protags, while the "good" superior being turns out to be evil at the last minute. tropes
- Toku being overloaded with gravure idol turned here into a "porn actress parade" (or "actresses" known for their bodies more than carrier. Like Surfer Jane, Hitomi's friend or Jin pervert assistant)


In the end, it won't stay in my heart for years (except the opening/main theme. I love it) But I took Gouraigan for what it should be : an absurd Sentai parody. And I enjoyed it as such.
