Just finished the first ep and it throws everything at you wayyyyyy too fast.It felt like they immediately went from eating breakfast to becoming the Magirangers.It was like every character had one line and you're supposed to understand who they are.

I don't want to compare it to Mystic Force,but I got a good idea of who the characters were in the first ep of that alone.And their not-Ranger uniforms are way better.

This doesn't mean I don't like the show.I'm more than willing to stay in this for the long haul.

A similar "problem" occurred in Jungle Fury, though I wouldn't consider "chameleon eyes for boobs" sexy.

Everything about Mele is sexy.

Episode 1

Pacing? What is this "pacing" you speak of?

Yeah, that was really rushed. "Hey kids, magic exists, here's your weapons, go fight, kthxbai!" Way to get your children murdered, lady.

Is it me, or is the audio synch off on this episode? Not sure if that's the show's fault or TVN's. I assume the latter since this is one of their older projects using TV rips. And thanks for not translating some of those words with no English counterparts like "mom" and "brothers."

No real sense of the characters beyond basic archetypes so far. Kai looks like he may get kind of annoying, but probably not Jan-tier obnoxious.

Hope the special effects get better, as the green screen stuff here is really bad. I've seen worse, but that bit with Kai falling off the pole was still awful.

I will probably never watch the end credits again. The song isn't Zyuranger ending bad, but it ain't good. Also, this is the lamest dancing I've ever seen in a Sentai's end credits.

Villains are pretty badass. I forgot how cool those mooks are. Always loved the Wolzard suit, too.

Houka really, really isn't Vida, is she?

Episode 2

Man, the monster designs for this show are great. Man, the effects for Houka's shapechanging are shit.

I'm liking the action so far, although I could do with less sibling squabbling.

Pacing is still kinda rocky. Your mom died like two hours ago and you're already back to joking around with your little brother? What the hell, heroes?

"N Ma" is a really cool name.

Nai and Mare look pretty fun, but, again, I could do with less of the Shrapnel verbal tic. Tic. But if a show wants me to like it, it really can't go wrong with hot goth chicks. Chicks.

Soccer ball attack. Very Gorenger/Kakuranger. I dig it.

Little plant puppet I am going to hate you.

Houka is my favourite Magiranger.

[XW1n5t0nX]

She's my favorite so far as well. I guess it's her bubbily laziness

[Switchblade]

I don't think I'll like Houka. Vida is one of my favorite Power Rangers of all time and Houka is pretty much her polar opposite, despite using the same footage.

[XW1n5t0nX]

If any of them annoy me so far, it's Tsubasa. While Houka's laziness is funny, his is freaking annoying, considering he has a bit of arrogance/cowardliness to it, which is the complete opposite of Chip.

I actually like Tsubada so far. Kai is still shaping up to be annoying as hell, though.
