Just watched the raw of it. So far i love all of them. Not a fan of the intro or ending. I thought the first episode was good
I thought Toqgers was alittle better.

Watched the raw, man that was fantastic! The battles with the Ninningers themselves are really good, but: The mecha battle! Freakin' fantastic!

We saw some of it with Shinobimaru hiding inside the building, but all of them were amazing! Love how they use the city with ninja-tactics, hiding inside buildings, using flipping streets like real ninjas used a tatami to block attacks.

And I love the Japanese visuals blended in with every attack, very cool.

I definitely continue watching, and if I had the money I would order Shurikenjin on the spot. Oh well, later then.

And Shironinger, you better watch out, Kaito is coming for you!

For those curious, the suit actor for Shinobimaru is a man named Fujita Satoshi.
Few of his notable previous works are:

Kamen Rider W: Claydoll Dopant
Kamen Rider OOO: Mezool
Kamen Rider Fourze: Virgo Dopant
Kamen Rider Wizard: Kamen Rider Mage, Ghoul
Kamen Rider Gaim: Kamen Rider Marika, Kamen Rider Jam

That man pulled some really impressive stuff in that suit!

Fun little trivial stuff I noticed during this episode was that good number of the visual pieces in the Ukiyoe-like backdrop are composed of the names of our heroes:

- The name Takaharu literally means clear sky, and can also be pronounced as appare, which is the Japanese word for splendid, magnificent or good job.
So in this case, I think it is safe to say that a 'splendid' red sun is placed to represent a clear sky.

- Yakumo, when translated literally, translates into eight clouds, but is actually a Japanese word used to describe thick clouds.

- Nagi means calm or lull(of the waters).
Normally people will think "how can yellow be associated with water?"
Well, if you look at his catchphrase "kirameki no nagi" and the image of a sparkling yellow body of water during his nanori or introduction, this is most likely referring to either the color of the calm waters either during sunset/sunrise or the color of the sparkles when the sunlight hits the calm waters on a bright and sunny day. (I like to think of it as the color of the calm waters either during sunset/sunrise considering the end product of the backdrop)

-Kazabana is another way of reading Fuuka, aka Shironinger's name, which is the Japanese word for snow flurry.

-Kasumi is literally mist.


So if you take the above into consideration and look at the backdrop when the Ninningers finish their nanori, You can see a red sun that represents a clear sky, blue thick clouds, calm and sparkling yellow waters, white snowflakes, and pink mists incorporated into the Ukiyoe-like backdrop.

Isn't it fitting that this show premiered on the same day as "Ninja Day" in Japan?

He wasn't Marika; Minami Tsukui did her own suit acting in Gaim.
