LupinRanger VS PatRanger Episode 1- "The Troublemaking Phantom Thief!" Discussion

Garakushii · 02-12-2018, 01:23 PM

As someone who watched a lot more older sentai than newer, I'll never get used to this highly talkative henshin devices. But what can I do...

Before watching, I liked everything about the Patranger more than the Lupinranger. After watching the first episode... yeah, I still like the police side more

What's up with all that jumping around and spinning going on? I like some flippy sh1t, but this episode makes Riccochet vs Will Ospreay looks sluggish lol

Also, no more vertical 180º camera rotation, please.

That is probably the style that Lupinranger is going to have throughout, to show off their flashy, stylish nature. I wouldn't be surprised if Patranger was more subdued to go with their more protocol and by-the-book personas.

Bonjour !

That was a good first episode, it didn't feel as rushed as usual. The Persona 5 hype was strong in this one ! Mystic thieves invading casino to retrieve the monster treasure... The Lupinranger also have a Cat's Eye vibe : 3 thieves stealing pieces of a collection for personal reasons.

And as a french myself, this is stupidily fun ! Gratuitious french throw here and there, frog monster and mooks with beret and scarf.
Speaking cliché, the police chief is a mustached black person, I can't wait for him explaining the Patoranger he's gonna kick their ass because the mayor is kicking his ass.

"Comme un cube qui roule" = "Like a rolling cube"
"Dé"="Dice" would have been more appropriate, though.

The uniforms are just FUN. Again, can't wait for the subs to watch again.

Over-Time has a sub up already. I think TV Nihon is doing it too, but if they are, it's not up yet.

I found this Sentai premiere to have quite a different energy to it than the previous few years. Having two opposing Super Sentai teams fighting each other should hopefully be an interesting premise.

WOW! I freaking loved this! It was weird, the fight choreography was really good and, as everyone is saying, the cinematography was first rate - great use of go-pro and drone cameras! The story was engaging; it's seemingly simple but easy to see expanding into something more complex. The characters were great and already better rounded than Lucky!

When the original images came out, I was skeptical as to how they'd play in motion but - man, did I love the Lupinranger's Batman '66-gone-Batshit '18 aesthetic! Patranger - well, the jury is still out but, the next episode looks like it is going to be even crazier (All the Patrangers...?)

So, an aside: the restaurant is the same as Kamen Rider Kabuto, yeah?

I have a pretty low tolerance for modern Sentai, but I really enjoyed this first episode. I like that they're doing something really different with the premise here and I'm definitely interested to see where they go.

The song playing during the fight at the casino sounded an awful lot alike the Kyulette Za Chance song. Lol!!

Made a review. Used to do it on wordpress but I decided to move to a Disqus channel that I frequent because Disqus is easier to comment https://disqus.com/home/channel/thed...t_impressions/
