[WolzardFire]

Well now, the first sentai i bought a toy for... granted i watched it 2 years ago almost and i marathoned it.

Well to start things off, I love how each of the magirangers has a role to play. Kai is the weak kind of kid (at least for now) , Tsubasa is the Hot head, Makito is the ideal big bro, Houka is aloof, and Urara is Eye Candy.

Mandora boy is still a low point for me but he becomes far more tolerable at the end of the show.

I love wolzard (hence my username XD) but we get A LOT of information here, and also opens up mysteries (unless you have seen mystic force).

Also, i wanna talk about the villians. I love Vancuria and how she can split into Nai and Mea, and i love how Branken is over the top. I love his costume the most.

all in all, i love this series and i hope you guys like it too... That being said if anyone wants the music for this show (the character songs in particular are good) Pm Me, ill show you where i downloaded my stuff from.

See you guys next week

I think you should run before Sentai sees this. >_>

Nah, it's no use. That'll just delay the inevitable.

True. He needs a bomb shelter, fast.

Oh come on, it was one silly episode in an otherwise fun and playfully enjoyable show. In all honesty this show has the same feel to it. So if you didn't care for Goseiger then I doubt you'll enjoy Magiranger at all.

He knows. We've had this conversation before.

The cake episode was the straw that broke the camel's back. I'd been on the fence about the show for awhile before that point.

I'm willing to give Magiranger a shot, though. I may end up dropping it like I did Goseiger and Kyoryuger or it might surprise me like Gaim and actually be really good (and be the final piece in my "2005 was the best year of tokusatsu ever" puzzle). I'll give it a couple weeks and see how it goes.

Honestly, at this point the only Sentai I would flat out refuse to even try is Go-Onger, which I know I would hate.

[Den-O]

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think you just hate joy and fun in tokusatsu

Go-Onger, Goseiger, Magiranger. Shows like that epitomize it. It may just be something that's not for you. Whereas I on the other hand can't always take the "dis is serious stuff" atmospheres some shows try and in my opinion fail to create (Blade, Shinkgner, Faiz). I've finished them, but have no desire to ever watch them again.

I don't know, I liked Zyuranger a lot. I also loved Den-O and while Fourze's pacing issues turned me off, I did enjoy that show a lot and will happily revisit it sometime in the future. And I love, love, love Ultraman Max, which has some of the silliest episodes of tokusatsu I've ever seen.

Honestly, I think it's just Sentai that I have such a low tolerance for, at least more modern Sentai. I'm not really sure why that is. Maybe it's because the target audience has been skewing younger and younger since Dekaranger and I'm less easily amused by bright colors and loud noises. Maybe it's because the franchise has kind of stagnated and we keep getting the same episodes over and over every year (let's disguise pink and/or yellow as a bride!). Maybe it's that one scene they keep doing where one character says something and then we have to see close-ups of every other team member reacting (man, I've grown to hate that). Whatever; I don't know.

Either way, I've decided that I'm going to do my best to watch the hell out of Magiranger. I'll consider it a personal challenge to myself.

Just don't be surprised if you hear me complain a lot about how we could've gotten a season 2 of Dekaranger instead (seriously - it actually was considered at one point).

[Den-O]

I still think Deka Season 2 would have been amazing. That show (much like Den-O) struck the perfect balance of comedy and drama.
