Ep 14 of Gokaiger is hilarious. Which, I guess is fitting since I heard Carranger is supposed to be funny.

By the way, don't you guys think Fourze can work in US by simply changing the cast? The whole high school hero theme works well.

Damn it, this is what I get for going "Well file size is the more important aspect for me since my Sentai folder is already around 90 gig, I'll just deal with Takenoko-tachi's bullshit instead of getting the scrubs". Seriously, how hard would it have been for them to just use stuff like "bro" and "sis"?

Honestly, the only one that I think would have a hard time would be hibiki. The others vary enough to work. Fourze would work well.

I think the casting would be crucial. All of the main cast run the risk of being painfully annoying if played wrong.

And doesn't most of the fight footage have a bunch of Japanese teenagers standing in the background? I imagine they'd have to re-shoot a lot of fight scenes.

Finally watched Gokaiger: The Flying Ghost Ship. Thought it was a fun little romp, but the G3 Princesses bit kinda came out of nowhere and was maybe a tad much for what was already a goofy movie. Wasn't a fan of the slowmo and shaking/blur in the Gokaiger vs mooks fight, but the final robo fight was really cool. I tend to prefer suits and practical effects for the robots, but CGI really let them up the scale of the battle across the giant ghost ship. I imagine that's where most of the movie's budget went.

They recently announced that they were going to stop translating "Uchuu Kita" in Fourze, half way into the damn show. It really is the gift that keeps on giving :lol

That's true for a fair bit of modern Rider though, isn't it? OOO, for example, Ankh was always hanging around while Eiji fought, or Gotou with Date.

I'm done with TV-N's translations, or their lack thereof. It makes shows like Dairanger, Magiranger, and Gekiranger a lot harder to watch than it should be.

From what I heard their philosophy is essentially be a weaboo. It's really sad especially when a lot of people get their entry shows from them. Thankfully newer subbers are out and have a backbone not to be bullied by TVN people.

Huh, didn't realize about the extras. But most of them are usually the student of the week, right?

They should have cancelled The Flying Ghost Ship and divided it's budget for 199 Heroes and Gokaiger vs. Gavan so that we get better special effects and cameras.

It was disappointing having The Flying Ghost Ship be like a bug budget movie while 199 Heroes and Vs. Gavan looked like they were part of the TV show.

I probably made a mistake by watching the movies out of order since the last one I watched was Ghost Ship.

The movie felt weird since Gai only appears at the beginning and the end. It's almost like he was put in last second or something, as if the movie was meant to only have the 5.

When I first saw Gokai Silver: Gold mode in the opening I thought it was a joke. But no, he actually uses that ugly thing.

Probably, since GokaiSilver premiered in the show only a few weeks before the movie came out.

The Gaoranger movie was definitely experimental, since the characters broke the fourth wall various times to talk to the kids in the audience. The Gekiranger one was very cool in that it felt like an actual Hong Kong kung-fu movie (and it has a really impressive mecha battle).

Starting to dislike these overtime subs. Sometimes there talking but no subs. And sometimes there are these little notes put in extra that take up like 1/3 of the screen.

Its give and take with tv-n and overtime, but I still prefer overtime. The lack of japanese honorifics makes it far more tolerable.

Okay, Gokai vs Gavan was pretty boss. Felt like it dragged a tad towards the middle, but a good watch. And man, that Gavan suit.



Robo battle was a fair bit weaker than Ghost Ship's, though.

Gokaiger ...end

brief summary of my experience? Oh snap, that's some good stuff.

Preface, I need to watch the movies, I know.

The series is really great as far as exposure goes. What I appreciated out of the experience is that it's another show that you could tell came from experience. It didn't have any many shortfalls like previous sentai shows I've seen.

In fact, I'd could very little on the filler ep side of things. Character focus eps were really well done *cough Joe cough*. The action and the swagger of being a pirate was always well choreographed, insert scene of Doc fighting for example. Even though the them of the show was a celebration of 35 years of sentai the cast and villains still had their presence on screen and it was never over shadowed.

Favorite eps? Joe focused, Basco shenanigans, & One on one Marvelous fights.

P.S I'd be Luka's sugar daddy any day of the week =p

Fourze is going the fuck in right now. Ryuusei's bidness is all in the street now and Gentarou is just done. Plot Power Up shenanigans here we come.

Go-Busters is getting kind of restless because I want to see Beet and Stag Buster already. Other than that it's keeping my attention.

Akibaranger is the shit. If you're on the fence just watch. I love a great self parody and Akibaranger is that and then some. I wish them the best in their quest in becoming an Official Sentai.

Power Rangers Samurai is doing Power Rangers Samurai as usual. Mia, Mia, Mia!!!!

Yes. It's a side scrolling beat-em-up with Kamen Riders that's actually good. I had a blast with the first one beating the hell out of things with Faiz and Birth. And if that goodness is any indication of how 2 will be then I'm there. So I say give it a try.

Are there many suitless battles or new stunts now? Or still the same?
