Well I finally watched the last 15 episodes of Nihon's DaiRanger release the other night. It is nice to finally understand everything being said to a t for the entire series, and it was even more magnificient that way. Add on top that the last 11 episodes of the show do not contain any filler (if you consider the subplots filler though, then last 8 episodes), and you have another reason as to why this show is my favorite Sentai series of all time.

I just finished Go-Onger minutes ago(with the exception of Geki vs Go-On, I still need to watch that). Overall it was a really enjoyable show, but I feel it suffered in the endgame by taking to long to introduce the Prime Minister and he wasn't too interesting. I'm really tempted by the promos to just move straight into Shinkenger but I've been planning for a while to watch Garo once I finished Go-Onger.

If you like Devil May Cry and/or Onimusha, Garo is a must watch.

As for Garo vs Shinkenger, that's a tough one. Both are good. If you have seen Samurai recently, don't watch Shinkenger YET. Let those awful memories fade first or it will feel like you've seen this before for the first half. If you decide Garo, finish through episode 7 at the very least. If the show hasn't clicked for you by then it might not be for you. On a side note, the current Garo series will probably be over before you catch up (unless you do some hardcore marathoning). If I had to choose, I'd go with Garo. I enjoy both greatly, but there is no episode of Garo I regret watching. Shinkenger, other the other hand had a few awful episodes and "the movie" is one of the worst things I've seen in Toku. But again both are good and well worth a watch. PS Donnot watch Garo at work and/or school. It has nudity and death...and that's just the first scene. Last edited by Blade Raider; 03-09-2012 at 03:19 AM.. |

Well the reason I compare Garo with DMC and Onimusha is because:
1. The camera angles remind me a lot of DMC. 2. Kouga dresses like Dante. 3. Kouga's armor makes me think of Devil Trigger Mode 4. The designer for Onimusha (Amemiya) is the designer for Garo 5. Kiba reminds me of Nero Angelo, just without the brother aspect 6. The music makes me think of DMC The only thing Garo is missing is someone shouting, "I am Gogandantes (or whomever his name would be), the greatest swordsman of the demon world." OH yeah, I am talking about the original DMC series, not this new Twilight May Cry garbage coming out soon. BTW, there is no contest, Garo beats Shinkenger out by light years. Even Makai, which is half as good as the first Garo series, is better than Shinkenger. |

I have seen the first 2 episodes already and will watch Garo. I'm going to attempt to watch at least 2 episodes a day to be caught up in time for the finale. Plus like Blade Raider suggested, I should probably wait until I've got Samurai out of my system.

Go-Busters. Only 3 episodes in and I already like this series a lot more then Gokaiger. I'm probably the only sentai fan happy that series is over.

I have gotten up to just before the movie in Gokaiger, and thus put it on hold to finish watching Boukenger. I am really digging Boukenger, moreso than Gokaiger which is (at this point anyway) sort of mired in doing homages, though the introduction of Basco was cool.
The only part I don't like about Boukenger is Shizuka; she's extremely irritating and obnoxious. I don't mind Yaiba or Gekkou, and the other baddies (Gajah and the Jaryuu Tribe) are both very appealing, but Shizuka puts my teeth on end.
