The year is 2011. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger opens with the Sentai sacrificing their powers in battle to stop a great evil, scattered to the cosmos to be used by others.

The year is 2025. Etc etc you get the point.

But yeah, this was a good opener, but I'm not smitten immediately? Maybe I am a little put off by the social media tone on this episode immediately switching to yet more "Superhero vs Superhero (Japan)" posturing, which is cringe beyond belief, but even trying to be objective about the episode, it's not doing anything super outstanding, either in premise (see above) or character (it's nice Hoero isn't a chirpy optimist, but otherwise this is a standard call to adventure story). Also a shame that we see nothing from the other four Sentai members all episode. Or maybe I just haven't watched enough wrestling / fighting games in my time.

I'll be back next week, see how it goes, but hey, I had a good time!
