[Kurona]

It's funny that both threads dedicated to watching Kuuga, this Chouno storyline comes up with such... how should I put it, adversity? Controversy? Debate? surrounding it, when, as Certified #1 Person-Who-Doesn't-Like-Inoue's-Stories; I just sort of passed over this one without too much bother about it.

I found it interesting that it did deal with someone so detached and pessimistic about humanity, even if it was done a little sloppily and half-heartedly. I guess it is special in that sense -- after a 2-parter which I adored to death, this was right back to being a couple episodes of Kuuga that didn't have an impact on me! Back to being good soon enough, at least.

The stuff you brought up about Titan Form I always remember finding interesting. Tokusatsu fights rarely pay attention to how fights play out and which part of the body is hit -- and that's okay for me, because I'm more invested in the feeling and emotion these fights are trying to convey and hey, I get a cool little action sequence along with it. So it does mean that whenever there's a powerup, every part of the body is strengthened and made more defensive and yadda yadda. So Kuuga going for a much more practical, 'realistic' approach with this... it's part of its charm, really. It's something that only Faiz would see fit to take after, but there's always consideration to every aspect of the fight and what's covered and how much force is applied, etc etc. All it needs really is Ichijou going around in a laundry van lugging around the Arcle in a suitcase after Godai fights un-transformed for 2 minutes.


Edit: Ha! This post was pretty-well timed
