Oh hey!

Yeah, never be afraid to recommend anything! I covered Samurai Flamenco and The Reflection afterall!

but I can guarantee you will find it relatable.

Absolutely. Alot of the stuff Nakamura talked about in both episodes 1 and 2 were things that I myself have very much experienced growing up. And heck, I still kinda do, what with the elitist mindset that still circles around when it comes to Power Rangers and whatnot.

I came to terms with how I handle my fandom, but I absolutely do not blame anyone who deals with it differently. EmerJason even approves of such things!

So that stuff got me vibing with this show pretty hard right there, and the way that whole sequence climaxes in such a hilariously triumphant way -- with Kano masterfully acting her way through the ordeal (deliberately pretending not to know anything after the first verse of a theme song is a perfect example of one of those gags that's way more specific than I expected going in) -- well, that just made me instantly committed to seeing every last episode of this series as soon as they aired.

That was such a good bit! Fake it til lyou make it to the max! Haha.

I actually watched the whole thing again some time after it ended, even, just to confirm how much I loved it. Heck, I'm half considering watching it again right now, just so I don't have to go on memory for this whole thread. Even though I'm pretty confident in how clear my memories are! This is genuinely a show that has majorly stuck with me, even though I barely ever get chances to talk about it with anyone (ironically enough). If we are lumping Tokusatsu GaGaGa under that broad umbrella of "toku shows", it's probably lowkey one of my all-time favorites, even. Very excited to see you work your way through the rest of it, DreamSword!

By all means, please do run it through a third time! I always look forward to your insights on these sorts of things. Hope I don't disappoint!
