Majin Gattai, Magiking, number one!

Wolzard returns and Kai will have his revenge (briefly)

The King of Darkness rises, Wolkaiser!

Ah, young love and meddling sisters

So let's watch Magiranger 4-6!

[Thessair]

I'm enjoying the show, but I don't really think we've had the opportunity to get to know MagiBlue enough to feel any real emotion after the Cockatrice gets her. They're doing a good job of establishing the family dynamic, but I'm not feeling any real connection to the characters.

MagiPink is just a bit obnoxious. (And by a bit, I mean lots.) MagiKing is pretty darned awesome, though, and that Phantom Illusion spell was pretty snazzy. Those broomstick/bike things are heavily featured in the opening credits but they don't seem to use them much in the show yet.

We ended this run on a bit of a cliffhanger! I can't wait until next week!

From what I remember, I appreciated that they took time to build up Magiking. It's not so common to wait that long in Super Sentai anymore.

Ah yeah, MagiKing and Wolkaiser debut week. This is going to be a good LWW.

Stage Four.

For a show that is so generally goofy, the introductions of the monsters of the week is surprisingly dark. It was also kinda cool to see the legend of the Magirangers had spread. Vancuria is also awesome, although is it true her suit actor is a dude? But the boobies...

Magiking was handled a lot better The Titan Megazord, as well. Mystic Force played the whole deal as a bit of a joke, but MagiRanger actually made the cockpit a plot point. It was awesome.

It's odd then, for every good moment like this, the show seems to match it beat for beat, with a shit one. Firstly Kai is an insufferable moron, and borderline douchebag. So I'm just waiting for his inevitable transformation into a good person, for an eat my words moment. I'm just hoping it is soon.

Also, this shows treatment of mythology is terrible. "Oh yeah Blue is really good at fortune magic by the way, isn't that convenient? What we haven't established this at all? Oh yeah wear the cloak cuz....magic and stuff. Cool." "Oh yeah also red is alchemy. What does that have to do with anything? Oh well it's convenient, cool."

Plus, even by sentai standards, this show is grossly melodramatic. Seeing Kai scream gibberish, while thrashing with a toy phone until he collapsed was pathetic.

[Locke]

Stage Five.

Really, filler, already? This is probably the worst episode of sentai I've ever watched, I'm serious. It was so boring, so bad, I actually need a break. I'll finish the next episode of this LWW later.

Tokusatsu needs to stop trying to be funny, it never works. Seriously everyone in this team are horrible. Blue likes to burst into tantrums, Kai is a selfish moron, Pink is obtuse to dangerous levels, Yellow is an antagonistic asshat and Green gets jealous of his bloody little brother. Eurgh.

Then to top it all off, it reuses footage from last weeks MagiKing battle for this one. Just, fuck.

I definitely place Wolkaiser/Centaurus Wolf Megazord in my most favorite Megazords/Mecha list.

Think about it, an honest-to-god bad guy Megazord/Mecha! Granted, there was Dragonzord and Q-Rex 1.0 before it, but those don't really count as Tommy was under mind control and Q-Rex was under enemy control after Eric's morpher was stolen. So this makes Wolkaiser/Centaurus Wolf Megazord the first legitimate bad guy Megazord in the history of Power Rangers/Super Sentai.

I'm willing to forgive most of that since the characters are still learning how to use their powers and don't really know what they can do (except for when they do automatically know things, which really weakens my argument here).

Anyhoo, Episode 4

In which Switchblade realizes that he barely remembers Mystic Force. I remember that this episode got mostly transferred over as the first/only Madison spotlight, but that was pretty much it. I think it may have also had a ten-minute motorcycle scene, but I assume that with every Kalish era episode.

I liked this one. The characters are starting to come together and I really liked the bit with Kai and Urara after she was de-petrified. I could use less general squabbling, though, as that gets pretty annoying really fast.

Nai and Mare are still fun, although I'm kind of confused as to how they work. Do they merge together to form Vancuria or does Vancuria split herself into two to become the goth girls?

I liked the explanation behind the cockpit for Magiking. That was a nice touch considering what a weird cockpit it is. I'm pretty sure that Mystic Force never explained why the characters were suddenly chess pieces from the waist down.

I think the more i watch this the more I become sure that this show is more of the Fairy Tale theme Vs the Epic Fantasy that the US adaption tried. For this I blame harry potter's huge international success. Beyond that this week was really good the episodes story wise where a little week but they are still trying to build characters. I don't know if I have said this but I love the Mechs of this show, and seeing Both MagiKing and WolKaiser are up there as two of my Favs. The cliffhanger ending was awesome I'm really excited to see where this goes.

I'm in a very awkaward situation with this show, I don't have any major complaints, nor do I have many good things to say, I enjoyed this last set of episodes, but thought they were very average.

4 wasn't anything to write home about, while 5 was fillerish I do enjoy Houka's character so that compensated it and 6 was overall nice, a great way to further explore Wolzard.
