I really liked the fight between Retsu and Gecko on the side of the building. This series really came up with some pretty creative fight scenes, I think. Even Mele was impressed with it!

Gekiranger really doesn't have your typical MOTW set up. Aside from Gyuuya, most RinJyuken users stick around for an episode or to. I mean, it had been years since I watched Gekiranger when the LWW popped up last year, but I still remembered the 5 Venoms, Rasaka, Dokariya and the like.

So the 'every villain is a commander' aspect of Jungle Fury isn't because they cut out like twenty episodes?

I don't remember too much of Jungle Fury. How were the monsters handled there?

There were no monsters of the week, every week they'd introduce a new set of commanders under Daishi and battle them for about ten episodes.

Hmm. Guess that'll be the case here too. Is the conflict between them and the rangers still set up as martial arts contest between two schools or is it different? It'll be interesting to compare the differences between the two of them whenever I get to Jungle Fury on my PR Netflix-a-thon.

Nah the plot is very different from that, but I adore that show.

Kagura isn't annoying me as much so far. Her immaturity seems more like part of her character and less an obvious affectation. It also helps that she doesn't talk about herself in the third person all the damn time.

I suppose. Only a few RinRinshi didn't last past their introduction episode. Gyuuya, the Eel, that one Rinshi that stole one of the beetle armors to pretend to be more badass, and I think that's all of them.

That third person shit, man I thought it was a translation error at first.

No, it's part of the burriko stereotype. Apparently it's something little kids do (likely because of the crazy amount of first person pronouns and accompanying rules for them that Japan has) and the whole idea of Natsuki and characters like her is to act as childish as possible in order to appear adorable.
