Yeah. Blue's suit uses a faux fur looking fabric (Don't know the material).

I finally watched the first episode subbed and it was still enjoyable, but I'm really not sold on the red ranger right now. He reminds me way too much of Daigo. I'm really liking the green, yellow, and black rangers though. I also get a kick out of how much blacky (don't have their names memorized yet) shrinks down when he transforms. He seems like he would be a lot more imposing not in his ranger suit. Grr's ranger suit looks pretty awesome and is it just the lighting or does it have fur on it? Not a fan of the shark nose on yellow's helmet though.
The mech is okay, but at least it isn't a giant square. I do like individual cockpits. Lastly, I'm getting a very sith vibe from Jark Matter. The emperor is so a Sith Lord. They really are trying to make this Star Wars and I am not mad at that at all. Seems like the material was possibly trimmed down manually based on the production notes that were shared weeks prior to the show starting.

I'm rather curious about how difficult Ookami Blue's suit is to maintain. Like, how easily does it get dirty and damaged, and how many different "Action" suits does he have in comparison to the others.

Mmmm, I don't think it would damage more easily than the spandex, but the dirtiness would definitely be an issue. I was actually looking for dust on his pants the entire time just because that occurred to me.

& the red first transformation & the ??? locked characters & race in the credit that they must search and fined and unlock in spaaaaace to complete the 9 sentai team[there's bound to be a 10th aka 6th evil/rival sentai that will join our heros later on......i think] its a mix of 80s/90s japanese video games and old school animes to build up hype for selling toys & the stupid over the top ooooh and aaaah [shock] segments......i cracked at the fast red VS blue scene looks like this sentai year is going to be interesting.

I want to like this. First Sentai I really want to watch since Gokaiger. And there was a lot about it that I did. But it was by no means perfect.
Personal thing for me is I just cannot stop hearing Garu as Zoro. Throwing me off man. But real issues were Lucky and pacing. Wow was that a fast episode. At least it didn't try to cram every single ranger in there, but still a lot happened. And meteor entrance aside (because yes that was awesome), Lucky did not entertain me. His personality was very grating. Hope he calms down some as the series progresses. I liked the rest of the characters. Some starting out with powers was cool and made for a smooth entrance for those without I feel. Don't really have to deal with everybody being lost and clueless. Liked Hammy a lot. And that first mecha combination came out of nowhere and was hilarious. I definitely want to watch more, which is something I haven't felt for any toku in a while.

Okay, I finally watched it and... that was a Sentai show! It was silly and super OTT with just making damn sure the kids get the whole Lucky concept and, beyond the show concept (which has great potential), the story was just a mad rush of checklist ticking. With 48 to 50 episodes to play with, this seemed unnecessary, like, they couldn't have used three ep's to unfurl what they jammed in this one?
Am I the only one that felt like this watched like a twenty two minute trailer? I mean, it was action packed but the rest was just paper thin - just like a trailer. With a total of nine characters (not counting support and villains), I'm a bit worried as to how this show's going to go if what they gave Blue was what's going to pass as characterization. Well, it's just the first episode, I'll give it a tenner before I make up my mind. I voted "good" for the action, FX and concept.

The thought I kept having while watching it was "this is like if someone tried to edit Star Wars down to 20 minutes", which is both kind of a compliment (Star Wars is a great movie!), and very much an insult (slow the f*** down!).

Just saw the pilot, not too bad, I do almost wish they could skip the megazord fight just so the characters could have a little more room to develop. Overall the battles were well done, characters were decent, and if I'm not mistaken is Champ seem like he was channeling Drax

You certainly aren't the only one who felt the pacing is bad, if that's what you mean.
