Been watching on Dairanger some more. It's growingt on me, but the first few episodes were ruff. I'm through episode 14 now and I'm finding the fights without the rangers in it to be the best. Rin's "grandpa" is awesome (for sooooo many reasons). Hope he appears again.
So far I like Daigo best. He's the only ranger that seems to give a damn (as seen in episode 3). I keep asking why Shouji is a ranger. Red, Yellow, and Rin are all kind of bland for me so far(I can't even remember two of their names at the moment), though Red has some decent plot in 7&8. Overall, I'm liking it. Side note, I'd buy Dairanger SHFs. Maybe not all of them, but I like their designs and weapons enough that I think they would make for good toys. |

Father Magnet and the drunken tofu. Last edited by Dr Kain; 02-22-2012 at 08:57 PM.. |

I would totally buy a ShishiRanger Figuart. I'm not as far as you, but I agree wholeheartedly about Daigo.

The DaiRangers are the only SHF I would put my money towards. However, KirinRanger needs to be able have additional hands for the drunken style.

Currently working through Jetman, Dairanger, Dekaranger, and Boukenger.
I keep getting sidetracked, obviously. |

True, its more of a minor complaint than a major one anyway since pretty much everything else was really well done.

Because TV-N is down and I can't get more Dairanger at the moment, I tried out Liveman. Watched the first 2 episodes so far and it's...something... It goes straight into the epic stuff like I'm already suppose to care what's going on and give a damn who these people are.
Heck, there's two "major" deaths in the first episode, but those characters got less than a minute before dying. Reminds me of Transformers Prime (that's not a complement). 2nd episode fairs better in letting a character shine before they died, but still. I also don't even know anyone's name. I don't know if they were even mentioned. The theme is great, but it feels rushed into. I'm going to give it a few more episodes. Sometimes it just takes a little bit for the show to click. Live Robo is pretty cool and I like Land Lion, that's for sure. PS (might be 2nd episode spoiler) How did that pregnant women in episode 2 delivery her own baby, cut the umbilical cord, clean the baby, escape from under that rubble safe and sound, AND teleport from the rubble to the lighthouse (That last one is bad editing). All while the Rangers are fighting a short mecha battle to. I think she should be a ranger. She clearly has beyond the physical abilities to be one. |

Decided to not watch anymore Liveman. I might try again after Dairanger. For now, I really want to finish Dairanger. A friend had told me HON & H-S did a complete sub of Dairanger so I gave them a shot (besides, I was wanting a second opinion anyways).
So yeah, I just finished Dairanger 26. I'm glad the show finally remembered there was other characters than Kou. Not that those episodes were bad, just that I feel there's been uneven character focus throughout. Maybe I've just been spoiled by Gokaiger's fairly even pace. Enjoying it regardless. Good action (including surprisingly good demorphed action), good characters (except Kazu. Hope that changes), and decent plot (even if it borrows Star Wars stuff now a then). Fun stuff. PS Is it bad that I was happy to see Akomaru die? Never been so happy to see a kid die and that kind of disturbs me a little. |
