I´m really liking Rights hotheaded personality. Rushing in before thinking about it and making up his plans as he goes along

[Thessair]

Watching the subbed version, I find Pink to be even more obnoxious. Her whining about being scared or weak to set up an imagination boost doesn't really endear her to me. It's too much. The writing seems like it's trying too hard to make her childlike, I think. Mind you, I'll have to eat crow if it turns out they're all still actually children who were just imaginaged to fight the bad guys.

I find Yellow and Green to be the least annoying so far with, surprisingly, Red not too far behind.

Despite my complaining, I actually mostly enjoyed the episode although Not-Owner makes me long for the real Owner. (Den-O crossover soon, please.) It doesn't grate on my nerves like Kyoryuger did, although I'm a little worried about Red's 'specialness'. Hopefully he won't be a big ol' Mary Sue.

Strange, I found the repetitive Go!s to be really awesome. Made more awesome by the video that accompanied it.

Thought I'd add a note about Pink. She actually looks somewhat older than her actress actually is. That may be where the disconnect comes from, her more mature appearance seems to clash with her personality.

And its not like Power Rangers does it where thats the only lyrics except for the shows Name and the Characters shouting their names

Five is "the girl", one is "the leader", two is the "gag one", three is "the other girl" and then four is the "cool one". I'm not saying they can't grow into great characters but I feel with how little we actually got we can't really say anything right now.

I wouldn't say I don't care about them, but I do agree that so far all we're seeing is archetypes. It was a really rushed episode, though, and we'll see them all get more fleshed out over the next few weeks.

I never said I didn't like the song. The opening just amused me as it was basically Power Rangers' "Go" thing dialed up to eleven.

I love the opening theme.They say "Go!" for the first 20 seconds repeatedly and it's still leagues better then anything we've recently got over here.lol

I am anxious to see how 2 and 5 grow mostly because no one likes them.I think 2 will grow and have his voice heard.He's the brains yet no one respects him.I bet he gets an episode where he earns that respect.

As for 5,she's got a long way to come.I bet her whole story will revolve around why she is scared and why it's harder for her to fight.

1 and 4 are the obligatory hero's.I will admit this is turning out to be a red on the level of Ban and Jan energy wise,which is always a good thing.4 is just...I don't know.It seems like his story was already finished,like there was no way for him to grow because he is already a competent fighter.

I do like 3.She comes across as tough but not too tough.I love how she ordered around the goons in the first fight,and I love how she uses an actual fighting style (kendo) when using her sword.

I'm pumped for the next episode,and I can't wait to see the other ressha.

Although I honestly wouldn't mind THAT MUCH I'm still kinda worried that the clunky plotting in this episode, and generic motivations for the villains, means this is gonna be another sentai that glosses over story and characters for the sake of greater quantities of action.

warning, nerd/nitpicking ahead...

The fact the mecha seems to just ride on train tracks gets me...bad monster should just step two feet to the left or right to get away...The final attack...if two sets of gates went down TRAPPING the monster between them as tracks deployed underneath him, that would make sense...

ok...I'm cool...I think lol...

So can we talk about how great this first episode was? Because I loved every second of it

This is just so gloriously silly I mean Kyoryuger had its silly moments too but here it just feels so much better with the cast fully embracing it too, with the obvious slapstick and fourth wall breaking. That being said, the plot is still genuinely interesting and took quite a dark turn right at the end - I'm with you guys thinking they might be dead or near-death, but my other theory is that with the memories of them lost (not just to each other, but to the world too perhaps?) it makes them "as good as dead" and therefore perfect to operate as ToQgers full-time.

But best of all, this show is just BEAUTIFUL. I was sold on all the designs from the get-go anyway, but there wasn't a single suit, model or shot in this episode I didn't like. The miniature work has always been one my favourite aspects of tokusatsu so I'm overjoyed to see how much its being used here. I could watch the Rainbow Line and ToQOh all day

The colour gimmick was handled wonderfully too, its nice to have a moment of the heroes just completely messing around with their powers ToQ #5 is definitely going to be the fun one to watch in battle I think.

And to top it off, real trains in the credits!

Not that I wasn't already, but I'm 100% sold on this show. It is going to be one brilliant year.

Between ToQger, Gaim, and Build Fighters, I think we've hit the most awesome trifecta possible for Japanese programs.
