Ok, maybe I've just been too tired for the past 2 nights, but the two times that I tried to watch the first episode, I find myself nodding off, so I will give it one more try, from what I remember though, the mecha scenes looks incredible.

Nothing made sense, the concept of why the rangers were "Special" and the Buddyroids had no explanation whatsoever, only 2 characters were actually introduced, the Engrish was more forced than funny, and the fighting was a bit too wire fu for now.

HOWEVER, it's only the first episode, so I'm more willing to change my opinion as the series goes on. I'll also admit that some of the action was cool, the zord battle was neat, and the lack of a stock morphing sequence was a nice change of pace. But as a first episode goes, I was just bored and confused.

Well, for the "nothing made sense" part I guess that's a personal preference. I for one loved how everything isn't revealed yet, where you don't know what the heck is going on. It keeps you excited for what's coming up and forms a stronger story arc. In retrospect, this is mightily similar to Shinkenger (who had the same writer), diving into the story with absolutely no explanation of who the Gedoushu were, or why these four were tasked with fighting for Takeru.

That's not to say that this episode was a bewildering plopped-in-the-middle-of-nowhere episode like "The Team Unites" was for Samurai. We got all we need to know, from the personalities of the main senshi, to their supporting cast, and a glimpse at who the main enemies are. The world-building is saved for later episodes.

I don't think Blue and Yellow were slouches in combat either, as they managed to hold themselves well for the entire episode until Red came in with a surprise attack on the monster (honestly if I were the monster I'd really be caught off-guard by a guy about to crash into me with on a motorbike). Finally, remember that it was they who defeated the monster, not Red.

It's pretty classicly the Red Rangers job to show up and save the first Episodes day, Dekaranger, Abaranger, Gekiranger, I wouldn't take it as a comment on the other two, just (as was said) part of the World Building.

Also GoBuster is the Same Writer as Shinkenger? I did not know that. But excitment has doubled!

Like I said, it's only a first episode, so I'm more than willing to let go of my complaints. It has 22 minutes to establish the Rangers, the villains, and the side characters in addition to having some form of action.
But, as first episodes go, it could've done a better job, is all.

Overall, I thought that it was ok, gobuster ace is pretty cool, although having a cheetah head pop out of the front of a sports car is a bit odd, and i really wonder how the toy will work. I was getting kind of a go-onger feel from it, i like the homages to mmpr, and its kind of funny seeing a bad guy being referred to as a megazord. The soundtrack really reminded me of kamen rider double. I felt like the pacing was a little too fast, and there wasn't enough backstory, but I'm quite sure that that will be fixed. I will try not to let gokaiger color my opinions of this show, and I am pretty sure that it will really pick up as the show goes on

She also wrote Gingaman, Timeranger, Ryuki, Den-O, and OOO, or at least she did according to Wikipedia.

Just finished episode 1 of Gobusters.

So far, it's off to a really good start I think. I'm still getting use to hearing MMPR terms in a Sentai series, and there's something about this show that makes it feel Kamen Riderish. Seeing RedBuster drive into Buster Ace like that gave me flashbacks of W for sure. This is series is also giving me vibes of Megaman NT Warrior/Battle Network. I think this is also the most realistic feeling as far as Sentai goes.

Also, whenever they say "Enetron", it sounds like they wanna say "Energon". And given the fact that their mecha in this series are basically Transformers, makes me wonder if it's intentional.

Ok, watched it again, stayed awake through out this time, not bad, not bad at all, waiting to see where they are leading me, even the dance number isn't so bad, but still reminded me of the end to Goseiger. Oh, and there is no reaction to Yellow Buster, it's like watching my little sister. Luka is still my number one

Oh yeah, the transformation sequence for CB-01 is totally how Transformers should be done.
