My favourite was at the start when Black talks about being scared of the curse, before Red immediately bursts into this long rant along the lines of 'SO YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOU CANNOT BEAT ME! HAH! YOU THINK YOU CAN SURPASS ME!' in what, from the way it reads, sounds awfully close to those dubbed martial arts films I watched as a kid, I could almost see his mouth moving to words he isn't actually saying.

Not only does the dialogue not flow at all, it sounds totally unnatural. And that is before they start dumping exposition about Pharaoh's curses while the actors try their hardest to not sound like they're reading from Wikipedia.

Giving it some thought, I dunno whether to drop Boukenger. I like seeing the team slowly come together, but right now I'm basically just watching it for the action which is exactly what I'm doing with Kyoryuger, I feel like I should back it up with something with substance.

[Locke]

Kyoryuger 35.

This episode tried way too hard, and fell really flat. Everyone on the rooftop seemed really self aware that this was all really dumb and gave really awkward performances.

Meanwhile I try to work out why a robo so huge that it transforms into a 'Gigant' humanoid form is...the same size as all the mecha.

Oh also, Super Kyoryuzin or whatever it's called is awful.

[Locke]

Kyoryuger 36.

The only thing that let this episode down from being absolutely perfect, is KyoryuSilver. Firstly as expressed previous, I find the Kyoryuger suits really dull, but then that was coupled with an awful transformation and what looked like a very sweaty suit actor. Ew.

Gekiranger 7-9

These episodes sorta surprised me with how they shook up the formula. I thought they were gonna fight the Five Deadly Venoms one by one, episode by episode, bu nope! Scorpion and Toad falling in love and eaming up to figh the Gekirangers came out of left field.

I was about to groan at the inclusion of Miki's daughter, since at first she seemed like another toku spoiled rat kid, bu by eight she's already mellowed out considerably and is actually pretty helpful, which is a nice surprise.

Cobra seemed to think Rio was too weak to lead the Rinshi. I guess Rio only has complete control of the non-general Rinshi. The others were too afraid to stand up to Rio or Mele, but Cobra thought he could do a beter job a proving the might of their dark martial arts.

Mele turned out to be a Rinshi, surprisingly, the first Rio awoke. Wonder why she's got a human form then? Episode nine was pretty much about her. In her case, it feels more than just a villain getting character development, she feels like a protagonist in her own right.

Jan sensed something else about her that didn't classify her as a 'zowazowa'. Was it her drive to train herself to get stronger or just that she wasn't as ad as the other Rinshi.

I also like how the Gekirangers even had to train to get their canon operating at full power, for over he course of two episodes too instead learning it all in one! But is Jan really gonna call out pork stew every time they fire, lol?

Can't help you on this one, I only made it to episode 8. Not that I disliked the show, I just can't watch the exceptionally poor TVN subs.

Yay~
You're seeing the bits and pieces of what makes Geki my favorite as it all comes together as the story progresses!

And no, Jan doesn't scream it out every time. It doesn't immediately drop, but he does grow out of it eventually

And for more Megaranger, Delta Mega is awesome. Gatling hands are awesome. Not much beyond that, though. *Shrugs*

[Locke]

Kyoryuger 39. Yes, I skipped two episodes.

Man, I may not be one hundred percent sold on the Kyoryuger suits, but I can't deny the all out awesome of having ten Rangers all fighting together at the same time against a small army. This episode was just pure EPICNESS.

Aside from that, the visors were especially reflective this episode, they have a lot of camera crew working on this show it turns out. The singing was corny as fuck, and nothing is more skin crawling than when toku tries to force something as cute but D was so badass it almost made me sad I skipped the film. Almost.

Gekiranger is not your typical Super Sentai. It will follow the trends, but it does its own twists on them. It also likes to shake up the shake up the status quo every 3 or 4 episodes.
