Don't worry about Sen-chan. He gets better and even then he's probably one of the most underused members of the team.

I just finished watching the 20th episode of Carranger which features the first official appearances of Pegasus Thunder and Dragon Cruiser. Unfortuntely, it was the last episode that was english subbed. At least it was fun while it lasted especially the first two episodes that featured Signalman. Anyway, I'll probably check out the subbed episodes of Megaranger and Gingaman next though I might take a bit of a short break from Super Sentai viewing beforehand.

I'm not sure how I like Ban. He's loud and brash, but I can't say that I hate him, primarily because it's only been 1 episode, so they had to point out character traits, not actual character.
I do like seeing the vehicles being acknowledged as giant, explaining why the roads are always inexplicably large enough to accommodate them. Pretty neat.

Some things I didn't like, though:
Ban destroyed a church and ruined a wedding then killed someone they needed to take in alive (Well, destroyed, since he was a robot). Believe it or not, policemen are still held accountable for their actions...
Doggie's suit here looks better than Doggie's in SPD, but please, you gave him a functioning mouth. USE IT. At least Doggie (SPD) actually looked like he was talking, and not just having his mouth hang open like a dumbass.

Ban grows on you. He's abrasive at first but he igets pretty awesome pretty quick. The physics of the Deka Machines and how they and the base interact with the city is nice, I liked that aspect of "realism".

Ban didn't mean to destroy that church either so I can forgive that and don't worry about the enemy he destroyed. You'll see that resolved more properly in the next episode. After seeing Dekaranger it's pretty clear that the original Doggie costume is MUCH better than that lizard monstrosity they made for the US, whether the mouth moves enough or not.

And I'll echo what Switchblade said. Sen gets some great development down the road and growsa decent personality. I really loved him towards the end and after the series in Magi VS Deka.

I would love it if they made a Figuarts version of the SPD suit and called it "SIC Doggie"

Up to Gaoranger Quest 41 now. That was one funky Christmas episode. Not the worst I've seen but not great. I mean how could Red fall for Christmas Orgs obvious fake out? The whole episode it was so damn obvious and he just fell right into it. Oh well. Christmas Org was nowhere near as awesome as Santa-Chan from Boukenger. Oh Rina Akiyama

Was GaoRanger's Monster of the Week Who Is Not Really Evil the one that was played by the dude from many series such as AbaRanger? The older bald on top dude with the black beard and mustache? Sorry, don't know the actor's name, but he was in Battle Royale, AbaRanger, Gamera the Brave, and several other movies.

You mean Charcoal Grill Org when he's in human form? I've seen this guy all over the place. He's a great character actor.

Yep, that is exactly who I am referring to.

Kakuranger 12:

Not a whole lot to say on this episode. We finally have a major villain (just when I was wanting one too). He's a mad scientist Yokai name Dr Yugami. Him and Tengu make copies of past Yokai to fight the Kakurangers. I do like that each Yokai comes from a character focus episode and they fight the corresponding ranger.

Good fight, grow. Good fight, bad guys win. Kakurangers pulls a new power out of their collective asses followed by another good fight! If there's any misstep in this episode, it's that the Juusho Fighters come out of no where. However, I don't care beacuse the Juusho Fighters are awesome.

Kaku 12.
It was fun. Looks like we're finally getting a reoccurring villain, which is always nice. The Juusho Fighters were great. Watching them was like watching Gekitouja, fast and awesome. It's kind of a sour point that Sasuke just kind of knew they could do that, but meh, not really much else to complain on.
