I think the only Super Sentai or Kamen Rider that I watched last year was the Dr Pac-Man movie from Ex-Aid, so I've been craving some lately. Since I never finished Lupat (due to a mixture of depression and not wanting to wait for weekly episodes) I decided to pick it back up and start again from the beginning.

It's a pretty good first episode for a Sentai. I really like the pacing - it almost starts in media res, with the different factions already being at war with each other. I used to prefer when Sentai started off introducing the characters and showing how they got their powers, but this was a nice change of pace. I also really like how they didn't show the mechs in episode one. I've always preferred when the first episode was kept to introducing the characters, their transformations, and the villains, and then setting up the mechs in episode two.

So far so good. I only got like 6 episodes in previously, but I loved all 6 of those episodes, so I'm excited to see where it goes from here.

Bonus points for the villain being Okuyasu.
