What are you watching (Sentai edition)

XW1n5t0nX · 03-02-2013, 08:46 PM

I just finished watching Hurricanger for the first time. I actually was able to get through it faster then I did the first time around (took me two weeks the first time, took me four days this time).

I have to admit, re watching it did make me think of a few things. I get why they have to switch to the leather pants when they're doing a serious mission. But if that's the case, and doing what they do, why don't they wear them 24/7? It may make it easier if you ask me.

Plus, I'm shocked they never tried to do a Kakuranger crossover. I think it would've been interesting, and there's a few ideas you could do with it. Like having Her Majesty angry at the fact that the Kakurangers don't belong, or work with another school. So she sends out everybody to try and take their powers and morphers. But a Kakuranger villain comes back and fights with Jakanga. Majesty realizes that maybe it isn't bad to have rouge or freelance ninjas, and she calls off the collection order, and thus, the two teams fight with each other. But eh, that's just me.

Also, I kind of wish that the last three Karakuri machines Sargain made for Wendenu, Furabijou (who I now consider one of my favorite Sentai babes. Seriously, Azusa Yammamoto is hot), and Satarakura would actually combine. Sargain was always encorporating parts of Senpujin, so why not throw in the ability to unite?

Oh, and I am determined to find the Gouraijer theme on Youtube to add to my Japanese music playlist. That song is to tight.

So all and all, I enjoyed it just as much, and a smudge more then my first time viewing it. Obviously this time, I knew what to expect, and was able to think of some cons for me, but I still get a kick of the series.

4/10

Gouraiger theme is right here:

Anytime. I like to think I'm an expert on this sort of thing.

XW1n5t0nX · 03-02-2013, 08:55 PM

Haha.

Well, time to start the other Ninja themed Sentai since I found me some subs.

XW1n5t0nX · 03-02-2013, 09:10 PM

Well episode 1of Kakuranger is done. And all I can say is, what the hell is up with those Yokais? A flasher, a pedophile (what's with that announcer guy too?). Although, it is pretty comedic, and considering I have a pretty dark sense of humor, I'll slowly get into it.

Also, Sasuke and Saizou are idiots, but loveable idiots. And holy crap, I never though I'd see a mecha talk.

Those foot soldiers kind of remind me of Ghostface.

And shave every day?

XW1n5t0nX · 03-02-2013, 09:17 PM

That dance sequence was pretty cool too.

Brush your teeth, too!

Kakuranger is silly, but I'm having fun with it. It's the kind of silly that's not taking itself too seriously, not just being outright stupid (Though there are dumb episodes).
The announcer I've been led believe disappears sometime into it, but as of the first 13 episodes, that's not the case.

And if you think Sasuke and Saizou are idiots, just wait until you meet Seikai

You clearly have never seen Zyuranger or Go-Onger.

I think Seikai's become my favorite. He's such an ass. And loves underaged cheeseburgers!

Jesus, that was a weird ass episode.
Why did that one have to be brought over for Power Rangers?
