Still though, the worst show for that, was Goseiger. Agri was an okay character, but in a show with such a strong first and second in command he felt pretty shallow in comparison but MAN GoseiBlack's suit actor was just so cool!

It wasn't just the unconventional fighting style - that helped - but it was just all the cool little ticks, mannerisms and just general personality that GoseiBlack imbued that rarely seemed present with Agri himself.

I think it's one of the first times in toku history where I've enjoyed the suit actor more than the character themselves, I mean I've enjoyed suits and not the character in them but with Agri especially I loved GoseiBlack the suit ACTOR so much I pretty much couldn't ever see them and Agri as the same person.

Goseiger had incredible action though, both GoseiBlue, Black and Red were all just so cool. It was so stylish and badass, I find it hard to believe it doesn't have more fans on that reason alone.

"It's a smile only you can do."

Was kinda excited for a character focused episode on the pink Ranger, after Amy got shafted so bad in my other show I'm currently watching. But it turned out to be dumb and contrived. The show even points this out, so what...is that meant to make it okay? It doesn't.

The action was a mixed bag as well as Shovel was kinda lame despite being well designed and implemented.

More Megaranger!

I'm finally getting to the point where there's a major shift in status quo! No, it's not Mega Silver, but the addition of a new villain general, meaning that the rangers are either gonna have to get their asses handed to them, or the villains will have a shift in MO. Either way, I'm excited~

Don't worry, Sakura is definitely a full-fledged character compared to Amy.

Hey look, more attempts to streamline continuity while only making it more muddled and convoluted! I was going to actually write my questions down so we could discuss them, but by the fifth minute I had so many I realised it would be hopeless of me to write this critique any differently than how you are reading it now.

As ever though the action was pretty great, Daigo's Dad is a badass and I wanna soak in every scene I can with Grey. Bragigas was surprisingly well realised, I loved seeing the camera pan out to capture the carnage of the battles while this mega robot raises up behind them. Plus that Fisherman Deboss, despite being so goofy, was actually pretty badass.

Not sure how to feel about Bragigas' humanoid form, though. The weapon was ridiculous and not in a fun way, and I dunno something about the design and the colours, it wasn't horrible but there was just something I couldn't stand that I can't put my finger on. Oh also the fact that it's primarily piloted by Daigo, fucks sake.

Plus, why was it so small? It looked like it was the same size as Fisherman, despite dwarfing them before. Then again the scale in sentai has always been a fucking nightmare, going from standing shoulder to shoulder next to real buildings to suddenly towering over them when they become miniatures.

Also lol at the final scene where they forgot to move Chaos mouth despite being in close up and allegedly speaking. This episode was dumb in so many ways, and none of them good.

No one talks like a human being in this show. I dunno whether that is just the show or just the way TVN translates it. It is a shame too, because it's really nice seeing their friendships blossom, as this team grows closer and more functioning. It certainly handles the teamwork aspect better than Kyoryuger, and I like how it isn't some assumed thing from the start.

More Megaranger!

Status quo shift has been achieved with the new villain commander, Gir...Girel? Guiral? Damn, I just finished watching it and I already forgot his name
Oh well. If In Space was any indicator, he lasts for a good while, so I'll have time to learn it

And what a complete bastard he is, using children as human shields. It's crazy, and sends Mega Red into a BSoD. It was a really good story, and seeing Kenta learn to overcome it was great.
However, the biggest downfall was that it did it all in one episode. It really should have taken 2 episodes for this. It would've made the character arc a lot stronger so it would be literally resolved in a day. Kenta says he's too afraid to fight, but we never see it. He sulks about his mistake for, like, 7 minutes, and it's resolved before the first commercial eyecatch. It's way too rushed.

That aside, it's great. Red got the Battle Riser (Though, if I recall, the Battlizer's armor was American only. Darn...), and was actually interesting to watch since he wasn't being a complete moron for once. Also, seeing a Red ranger who makes mistakes and has those mistakes actually affect him is rather refreshing after coming off of Marvelous and Daigo.
Up next, a new mecha! The Delta Mega!

By the by, my years of watching Power Rangers has made it hard to not call the mecha "Zords" and "Megazords." I have to make a conscious effort to type "Mecha" or else I'd be using PR terminology

It's TVN. It seems like they decided for the 2007 series (this and Den-O) that they would try to be as literal in their subs as possible, to the point of actually trying to use the same sentence structure even though Japanese grammar works completely differently from English.
