Huh? People hated mobile phone changers that much? Oh well, they do them and I'll do me. I don't know why but I think they're pretty neat!

Fun fact: The Mamiya in Mamiya Natsuki is spelled with the exact same kanji as in Mamiya Rena from the concurrently airing Kamen Rider Kabuto. These two people are not related. Did Toei run out of names in 2006?

There's also the fact that the whole core team is fully formed from the start, a rare feature that also applies to Gokaiger, Lupinranger and technically, Power Rangers Samurai (the first 2 episodes of Shinkenger were cut and pasted later as a prequel).

Yeah Boukenger has been pretty subversive so far. Definitely noticed how the team seemed to function as an actual team instead of just friends or strangers who worked through the power o friendship or whatever stuff kids shows use. It makes for an interesting dynamic and something I definitely would like to see more. Anniversary Sentai are fun.

It also shows that she's the most distant member of the team, acting like their relationship is just business rather than friends. She's especially cold to Masumi who she deems a liability, which isn't entirely unwarranted I guess.

I've never seen Showa Sentai so if it really is a reference to it then that's pretty neat. A nice callback to the franchise's roots.
