Skipping episode eleven, it's time to Brave In! ...to episode 12.

I think I may have officially made it past the point where I dropped the show last time, and I'm enjoying it a lot so far. Shows how much the sheer quantity of filler bogs this series down, what have I skipped five of twelve episodes? That is terrible, on the shows part. And if the flashback is anything to go on, all I missed was the cameras obsession with a fifteen year old girl.

The Deboss continue to have great designs and in a day and age where usually Rangers just wear plain attire, I love Utchy's ridiculous outfit. He's a pretty awesome character in general so far. Fierce protector of children, and wanting to be appear stronger on the outside for fear of those seeing who he is inside as weakness. And seeing him ride the Kentrospiker was just epic.

Tell you what though, the full roll call with him in it is AWFUL. Hearing Samba and Japanesey period music played AT THE SAME TIME Jesus fucking Christ. It isn't even like it's a remix or anything, they literally just blare the sounds over one another. Also, I absolutely hate how his addition to the mecha is a backpack with wings stuck on it. It just makes Kyoryuzin look bulky as fuck and I actually like the base design a lot, so it ruins it for me.

Even though these are shows about Spandex Clad Heroes, I always appreciate a good excuse for them to be left without their powers, having to fight in their civilian forms. I dunno, you watch a lot of older toku especially there is this firm disconnect between Hero and Character so I appreciate efforts like this to really bring the two closer together.

Yeah, the samba and japanese music playing together is rather awful. They could have at least made a remix or something

Funny enough, one of my favorite aesthetic things about Toei's toku shows is their sound design.

I love how, like, in Gaim there's the background music of the belt on top of the belt's catchphrase on top of the show's score on top of things exploding and characters screaming. It adds this chaos that kind of grounds the scene in a weird way. Like, a battle like that would be super cacophonous. If that makes any sense at all.

One of the few unanimous things concerning Kyoryuger was that the team transformation with the clashing music sounded horrid

[Dr Kain]

I thought the Samba music went great with Uchy's period piece. Just wait until they add KyoryuSilver's rock music to the fold.

[Locke]

I'm glad I'm not alone in this one

I will fear the day when they smash rock music over the top as well, oh God. It'll be like having three YouTube windows open at the same time.

[Suzu]

Agreed on that, Silver's rock is just awful, at least when it's played with everyone else's Samba...

I don't know who you are anymore. Silver's Rock was epic.

Agreed. It drives the music theme of the show home a little more by having the sounds have some sort of melody.

(if you want bad, the first episode of Wizard was bad. The belt was so loud that they actually started lowering the voice as early as episode 2)
