But there is so much more than that in the Grongi, having it translated you know how the dynamic of the group works, you know their names, powers, motivations. You'd know none of that without the translations, so that's like half the plot gone.

Yes, but it also ruins all the secrets of the Gegeru if you know it in advance. And honestly, a lot of it would just be them standing around laying out the rules for the current round. I think that actually works better when you don't know exactly what they're up to or why.

So far having it translated has only added to the experience and I won't know how much it ruins until I get further down the line, so I'll take your word for it. It's been a great series either way, even if Kuuga's powers are kinda underwhelming.

Wait til you get to the Rising forms.

I'll look forward to that!

Meanwhile episode 10 was another rare misstep for the series,with Godai's sister being easily the weakest side character. She, much like the old guy who forgets things, was barely in the series enough to register who she was, much like the old man is, but these last few episodes have really given her a lot of focus and she is just so poorly acted. I guess at least the people who stand in his way, move out of the way swiftly. Toku has a tendency to draw this shit out.

Plus they killed a doggy

Eh, at least the action was satisfying, minus the phallic nature of his new form. Purple AND a sword eh? Interesting combo, wonder how you came up with that...

Your assesment of Titan form is rather humble compared to what other series offer in the way of questionable gear.

Hell, Kiva's Fapsword. :I

I guess this makes sense of why these shows are always such sausagefests...

I didn't like the first episode of Jetman, that's about it. I've fallen asleep during some boring episodes but didn't dislike them. I just tend to enjoy things.

Every time you see a dog in tokusatsu, it is going to die.

I think I've only seen one exception to this (which was in 555, oddly, the show that was all about misery and suffering).
