Anyway, there's not much to really comment on. It's neat, and the episode after was nice, teaching the rangers to not rely on him.

I felt like that lesson episode came across a bit better here than it did in SPD. But that may just be my personal preference. And Doggie looks like such a badass when he's strolling around in those sunglasses

Actually, I felt the opposite.
We have a character literally saying he's perfect. Why would he suddenly begin trying to use Doggie as a crutch?

In SPD, the characters we had made sense, their personalities felt more like they'd be willing to use Doggie as a crutch to fall back on.

But I can't argue that he rocks dem shades

I agree. It's a difference of the set ups made in the shows. SPD is about inexperienced second string heroes (AKA "B-Squad"). I can see them wanting a crutch like Shadow Ranger. However, the Dekarangers are experienced and assumed to be the frontline defence. Why would they want a crutch?

It's the a difference of comtext made by the differences of the shows.

On a side note, I might actually like Dekamaster's first episode better than Shadow Ranger's first episode. They are pretty much the same episode, but Dekamaster used a bullet to free Swan instead of an energy blast. This is the only time where Disney's bullet edits bothered me in the slightest.

I'm sorry, but I cannot support any love for SPD. It wasn't horrible, but the fact that every ranger had to have mutant super powers really killed a lot of it for me (I've already mentioned other things that bothered me many pages ago).

I loved DekaMaster piloting the PatSigner, saying that you shouldn't drive drunk

Wow. I honestly think Toei lost a bet with Toho or something that requires them to use that Edo set in every series or something...

and the father is just hilarious because how clueless he is

and man oh man Grand Liner, you sexy, sexy beast you

Oddly, all this talk about DekaRanger is making me want to give it another shot. I watched, I don't know, a dozen episodes or so before i gave up because it was too childish (is the closest term I can think of right now) for me to really enjoy it.

I've started watching AkibaRanger, again. I saw the first few episodes, 3 or 4, maybe, then just sort of let it fall by the wayside. I was totally digging the show though, and bought all three SHFs on pre-order, so I don't know why I stopped watching it.

So I'm picking it up again, and just finished eps 1 & 2. I've seen 1 at least twice before, and the first time they strike a pose, and the colored smoke bombs go off behind them, and their reactions to said bombs, totally cracks me up.

Having Deka Red appear in ep 2 is also contributing to making me want to give DekaRanger another go.

Interesting. I just found that someone had subbed Sun Vulcan so I downloaded the entire series.

Unless you need a sleep aide, I wouldn't recommend it.

No matter what, I do want to see every Sentai series in the long run. I'll give it a shot.
