[Switchblade]

Man, I forgot how great Luka is. She wasn't in this a lot, but she stole every scene she appeared in.

The whole finale was really good. I was pretty iffy about this show at the start, but I'll be damned if it didn't end up being a lot of fun. I got a huge kick out of the final attack against Ultimate Great Santa. It took me a moment to realize what was going to happen, but once I realized what that Akared key was for it put a huge, dumb smile on my face. If I had any real complaint it would be how the new guys showed up out of nowhere to take down the sub-boss without breaking a sweat, but at least the show had enough self-awareness to lampshade the moment a little.

I'm not particularly excited about the new show, but I'll stick around for a few weeks at least to give it a shot. If nothing else, the weapons aren't nearly as loud and obnoxious as Kyoryuger's very, very similar versions.
