The tracks have vanished!

Time for a detour

A new Ressha appears?

Car Carrier!

Perhaps Miss Greeta will continue her schemes....

Chooooo chooo time!

Well, the rest of the team might not have even been in this episode. They didn't serve much purpose. I hope Right isn't turning into another Daigo. The Car Carrier ressha was a bit weird in the robot fight and the CG cars were fairly awful. All things considered, I'd have to say this was my least favorite episode of the series thus far. Though, to be fair, I'm interested in learning what the exposition was at the end of the episode and I'm looking forward to seeing General Schwartz in action next week.

Man! I just saw the diesel ressha on the opening!

Had a lot of fun with this episode. It's really nice to focus on Right this time, I mean we see a lot of him, but he's a fun character. And as usual the action's pretty fun and fast-paced.

Something I noticed about the Shadow Line monsters. They're really goofy, but there is a disturbingly dark undercurrent to their actions. Like in this one, it was basically enforcing famine, even on kids, and you can kind of see some of the reactions people would have in a post-apocalyptic story.

I don't know why I get excited about this show, but I am really enjoying the storyline, even if it's kind of the same 'catch them all, MOTW' type stuff, just in a different format. I think it's in part to how all the actors play their parts. It's a little light, and a little dark, but moist in the middle. Like the perfect turkey. And the trains are gravy.

....now I'm hungry.

I think that is possibly the best description of ToQger yet.

I get that charm too. It's not a terribly revolutionary show or anything but for me it's just so pleasant to watch.

Another great episode. After the heaviness of this week's Gaim this was exactly what I needed

Looking forward to some action from the General next week, although I do sometimes wish Sentai didn't plough through its support mecha the way it does.

I haven't had this much fun watching a Sentai in a long time. Everything about this show is just clicking for me on every level, even the absurdly long car carrier arm. Can't wait for the next episode.

This is perhaps one of the most gratuitously toy focused sentai shows I've seen and it really hampers the experience. And this was the worst episode of the show so far, by a long mile.

I dunno, it's just watching Gobus alongside this, makes it feel inexcusable just how crap the mech stuff in this show is. Despite so much of the show focusing on the ressha the actual designs, and execution of the designs ranges from horrendously cheap, to downright awful. About the only saving grace of the mecha is it is so tacked on, despite its importance to the plot, you can skip over it without a single worry.

Plus yes, it has some good characters and some stylish action, but I'm a little bit fed up of giving toku shows a pass just because I like the action. I seem to have done that with nearly every show so far, and as such most of the completed shows under my belt I actually didn't care for at all by the end. I guess the only saving grace is watching it weekly alongside Gaim, at least I can still get an action fix of sorts, as Gaim's action is pretty craptacular. Right's take down of the monster is probably the best use of the line switch so far.

Really the true saving grace of this show in general though, are the villains. Although the bin shadow was lame as anything, the ridiculously dark plans week by week, in such an otherwise goofy show really is thrilling.

GritaXSchwarz is my OTP.
