The toy sales sucked but the story was good enough to recieve a screenwriting award within Japan if I recall.

Some opinions are a bit predictable and what I'd expect, like Goseiger being last by default and IMO Kyoryuger being overrated (sorry but I just found the feel of that show offputting even if I wasn't that big on Go-Busters either! ) but I'm surprised Ninninger did so badly seeing as I seem to be the only one that doesn't like Kyoryuger but does like Ninninger! I'm impressed to see Toqger enter the top 5 though, that was among my favourites!

Well I've liked the series from Hurricane Ranger forward.
I recently finished Go Busters which triggers my power Rangers problem thus the switch over full time. To Qu , Zyu Oh , Kyu Ranger and Lu Pat had gotten skipped by Hasbro and Saban. I will be finishing these 4 shows which will off set for having been skipped by the USA for adaptions. that's the second reason for the change over. Hasbro is likely to skip again in 2023 which if that's the case they may go straight to Zen Kai Ranger as it's the 45th which would really tick me off as I was hoping Kira Mage would get adapted. This would be a wasted opportunity by Hasbro.

Can't go wrong. It was one of Kobayashi's recent toku shows, and overall the show was well-produced. Also was one of many stepping stones for Jun Shison and Ryusei Yokohama, who are well-known actors these days it seems.

Toqger definitely seems to be one of those shows that either overcame initial unpopularity, or the dislikers for it were just a loud minority to begin with. It definitely seems to get a lot of love from all corners of the fandom these days whenever it's brought up, I find! I've even had multiple people have it as their first Sentai and love the franchise from that point forward

ToQger was so great. I hope Toei gives the Train motif another go. I think it was just a very divisive show all around- the suits, the lead, the plot, the mecha. Everyone seems to have an opinion on it.
You really can't underestimate the appeal of trains! Maybe Dinosaur + Trains will be the next big thing! The Shinkalion anime series which focuses entirely on trains continues to be one of the hottest franchises in Japan. Also Den-O is still popular and the Den-Liner even made it onto the latest Senki poster! Trains!

Admittedly, I went into watching ToQger with very little expectations, like I did with Goseiger and Go-Busters before it, but I can definitely say that I’m glad that I watched this series and a lot of the show is surprisingly well-done. I even watched the one-hour spring break crossover special they had with Kamen Rider Gaim which I find to be very enjoyable.

Well, they’re at it again. This time, they’re ranking OPs and EDs from the noughties period (no polls for the others yet). Even one-offs.
In 39th, we have a tie between “Just Make It Out”, “Run”, “Engine Winning Lap - Type Formula” and “Engine First Lap - Type Normal”. In 31st, we have another tie between Miracle Xmas, Oozora e no Kaidan, Engine Formation Lap - GekijoBANG Custom, Engine Eco Lap - Recycle Custom, Engine Second Lap - Turbo Custom, Kuroki Koudou ~Yuruganai Omoi~, Soiu Koto mo, Aru Daro yo and Wandering Wolf. In 28th, yet another tie between Susume no Susume, Engine Third Lap - Aero Dynamic Custom and Mirai no Yukue. 27th place is the first to have a solo holder, with Engine Final Lap - Type Evolution. 25th is a tie between Toku no Kanata e and Chigireta Hane. 24th place belongs to Eternal Wind. 23rd goes to Gaoranger Hoero - All Cast Special Edition. 21st is a tie between G5 Prince Lap -BONbaie Limited and Healin’ You. 20th place goes to Don’t Stop Your Story. 18th place is shared between We are the one - Bokura wa Hitotsu and Tao. 17th place belongs to G3 Princess Rap - PRETTY LOVE Limited. 16th goes to Ima Kaze no Naka de. 15th goes to my personal favourite ED on this list, Boukensha on the Road. 14th place belongs to Midnight Dekaranger. 13th is awarded to Shirokuji Muchuu Shinkenger 12th place goes to Juken Sentai Gekiranger. 11th place is Girls in Trouble! Dekaranger. And the top 10: 10. Jumon Kourin ~Magical Force. 9. Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger. 8. Gaoranger Hoero 7. GoGo Sentai Boukenger. 6. Mahou Sentai Magiranger. 5. Hurricaneger Sanjou 4. Engine Sentai Go-Onger. 3. JIKU - Mirai Sentai Timeranger. 2. Samurai Sentai Shinkenger And in first place, everyone in Japans favourite OP/ED goes to Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger. What are your thoughts on these results? What are your favourites? How many of these do you actually recognise? Let me know. |

Well, I guess one thing to go by this is that Psychic Lover is GOAT having taken the first and second place slots within the top 10. Personally a shame Time Fire's theme did not make it.

Saw the last several episodes of Liveman, and I'm not sure if this was the right way to end that series!
Spoilers follow! I still don't know how Kemp's brain can be harvested and still leave the body intact and conscious while having the brain express itself later on. The finale episode ended so weirdly with no real conclusion or fate for the team and I still don't have a good answer as to who or what Bias truly is. It doesn't seem like the team ever fully realized who Bias is. I must have missed something somewhere. Everything felt pretty standard in the last episode with nothing really shocking happening. Gush had more focus than Bias! As good as much of the series is, this felt rather flat. |
