i love blue 's stego and stego is my fav dino

[Den-O]

Damn that was great with subs!

Black and Green didn't get much screen time so I'm indifferent to them. But I already love Kings attitude, he really reminds me a lot of Ban with the way he takes charge. And Blue is delightfully goofy, Pink isn't too shabby herself. The villains seem to be quite interesting this go around too, lots of energy there. And now that I have some dialogue with Torin he doesn't nearly as evil as his appearance made me think

All in all that was a great first showing. I can already see that this show has grabbed me. I liked Go-Busters quite a bit but it's first episode never grabbed me, I was never pulled in the same way that I was here. This show has me hook, line, and sinker.

Stories will change, even the recipe dynamic will change (Pleather for Go-Busters, no belts for Gekiranger) that people point out and take with them. Some people don't care about those things, but Sentai, Riders and Rangers will always have the same basic formula: don suits and beat up rubber monsters. But there's a reason why this has existed over 35 years, and it's not that basic formula as to why. It has to continue to keep that basic recipe while adding different flavors to it, via themes, storylines, even barebones things like dynamic openings and real time henshins. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it doesn't. But the idea is to try to get as many people as to enjoy the series, based on individual tastes.

Honestly, anyone complaining about the designs of the robots and suits seem serious to me. I mean, it's meant for kids. Always been, always will. I've seen a lot of comments about Kyoryuger in other places that it's just head-scratchingly strange on how serious people have taken a kid's show. And yea, it's great to see new ideas and such, but it's annoying when I see people compare it to past series and be angry about how it's not "good", especially when it didn't even premiere until recently. I just hope that all the irrational dislike I've seen dies down.

But see, here's the draw for me. You suggest we should have fun and just let our minds go, and that's perfectly fine... but then you say Dinosaurs it's an old theme. What defines old though? That it's been done before? Because Abaranger aired a decade ago. That's enough time for at least two generations of new sentai watchers to come in, just in the target demograph alone. So we have fun, but dinos are "old", yet it's a great cushion when a season doesn't do well. Kids love dinos. It's timeless.

Also, recall that it's perfectly fine to have an opinion and to discuss it. I think the mecha look ridiculous, the dancing is... while fun, not something I'd do before I was charged with saving the world. Yeah, it's for kids and I get that. But regardless, I'm still having fun, even while discussing what I'm not exactly a fan of on a forum. After all, if everyone had the same idea and opinions, what's the point of having a forum?

I honestly thought of "old" as "it's been done before". I've never thought of anything as "timeless", more like "dry periods of interest". And I can respect a person's opinion, as long as it's written with proper grammar, and doesn't resort to calling people names.

It just annoys me whenever I see people complain about a kid's show, no matter what it is. Yea, I'll agree with some points, but honestly, in the long run, I can't change anything, since I'm not the target audience. The only time I'll really complain, is when they're not treating the audience intelligently.

...I..I don't know what to say.

What was with the dancing?

Wr-Wr-Wr-Wrong.
While the series is for a younger audience, I want to point you in the direction of Mobile Suit Gundam. A series that was written for a mature audience but garnered a large audience of all ages, primarily because of interest in the robots and designs.

Writing and story determines the age range, but design is different. The design of the suits and the mecha is something that anyone can get into, regardless of age.

Expressing distaste towards how the series's aesthetic isn't taking it too seriously. Design is something that has to appeal to the larger audience, since you can only really draw outside viewers in on visual cues, and, believe it or not, Toei wants these shows to succeed with more than just the "Boys, age 6-13" market.

I get this feeling that KyoryuRed's dad is either gonna turn out to be Torin or the main villain cause he just "vanished" when he was a kid.

[ShockerCon]

Eh, it was an okay first outing. The characters seem interesting, but the villains were just bleh. I'm not appalled, but I'm not impressed.

There wasn't much to love about it, and yeah, Gabutyra looks stupid in movement, too. Let's hope Kyoryujin doesn't.

Someone, make me a gif of this scene.

It's begun....*laughs maniacally*

[laughy1]

Anyone notice that it mentions Pteragodon in the ending song?Just thought it was a cool little mention.http://i.imgur.com/TDn7s2Ll.jpg

Just started it. I think I'll just post my thoughts here as I watch it.

- Wow, Europe sure looks like a location in Japan that was used in Garo Makai Senki.

- America. "Two Away Zone." Oh, Japan...

- This year's grunts are some paisley-ass mother fuckers.

- Another animal dude mentor? Oh well, at least this one has real hands.

- Man, Daigo is freaking crazy. Already displaying more energy than Hiromu did in an entire season. I approve.

- She's just walked by, but I already hate the pink think with the hug stripey hearts on her back.

- Oh lord, these villains are going to suck, aren't they?

- Dude, she's fifteen. Keep it in your pants.

- Their base looks like the Animarium's basement.

- Okay, the monster designs? Awesome.

- Paisley guys merge together into drooling Evangelion-esque monsters? Also awesome.

- Really loving this Red. He's got a bit of Captain Marvelous in him.

- ... well, I suppose that's one way to transorm.

- These batteries definitely remind me of Gaia Memories. Not that surprised considering how much of this show's staff is from W.

- Good fight scene.

- Okay, I actually like the idea of a Sentai where the members don't know each other out of costume. Obviously that's not going to last more than an episode or two, but it's a cool concept.

- Looks like it's going to be another seasons of skipping the end theme.

Okay, so overall I liked it. The cast has way more personality than the Go-Busters and the fight scenes are cool. I really like the monster designs, too, although I'm not really digging the Voltasaurs. Definitely looking forward to more.
