oooh suitless fights in samurai.

about time!

speaking of which, there was some kid swinging around that samurai mega mode sword at costco. Was kinda hilarious... but not at the level of star wars kid ;P

And they don't even bother with Antonio being 'mexican' anymore. whats up with his accent now lol.
 
god damn... gokaiger.

I am kinda disappointed that they didn't have a super mode that allowed them to gokai change into previous super modes...

And the emperor could have had more screen time or setup...

Still... great finish to one of the best seasons.

Gobuster looks promising. Man made mechas?? Fucking loved those. Super train megazord love here ;P
 
Golfham at Gokaiger's finale. Now that's how you make a show of it.

Just ordered the Shinken Red and Gokai Silver Figuarts. When I first started getting back into this stuff, I thought if I was going to start doing any kind of merch collecting I'd just buy the primary Morpher of each Ranger series but after having not really done that (got the Samuraizer cheap, but that's it so far) and thinking about it again I decided I'd rather just get a nice figure of one Ranger from each season. Much more interesting in terms of how they look and what you can do with them than transformation devices.

If you like taking pictures or posing toys, Figuarts are godsends.

The first pictures of Akibarangers are out, they are a modern Battle Fever J.

TV Ratings:

Final ep for Gokaiger: 4.0

Fourze ep 23: 5.7

Boo.

Not that Fourze isn't great, but the way the kid audience treated Gokaiger and Gekiranger was shameful considering how good the shows were.

You say that ratings have high priority for shows like these. All that matters are toy sales!

Yes, but that attitude is what leads to bad shows. Since they know the toys will sell, why bother making a good show?

Sad yes, and it is why there's a change of philosophy for toku generally, but even kids have some... well... some form of standards!

Right?

Reminds me that Super Samurai isn't going to be what I thought it was. It's now Shikenger Lite with a hint of Lime. And I see that they aren't going to do a Super Gold in the show but they'll make a toy out of it.

And yeah, Emily > Mia. Reason...DAT ASS!!!!!

Sentai has to go against Pokémon every week, so temper your expectations accordingly.
 
So is this gonna be an actual show, with fights, special effects and what not? For some reason I always thought it was just some porno parody o_O.

It's a real, official show.

Big O character designer/Tiger and Bunny director Keiichi Sato, Kuuga writer Naruhisa Arakawa, Ryuta Tazaki who directed a bunch of stuff (Faiz/Agito/Decade/Ryuki/PGSM/Sh15uya/assistant director on Black) and composer Kenji Kawai (Ghost in the Shell/Patlabor/Ranma) are all involved.
 

Parallax

best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
Given that it's from a website banner instead of a magazine scan or whatever, I don't think there should be any problem posting it here.

I dont mind blue or yellow, but red rubs me the wrong way. Will there be any extra rangers for this series?
 
Guys I'm sorry but I have to voice my disfavor with the above and Gobusters, I'm not a fan of either suit design. I really doubt I'll move past ep 1 of either series because of the aforementioned.

But I need my gokaiger fix DD:

And I take it we have to wait til May for vs Gavan?

Actually, we only have to wait a month (March 21). Since its a VS movie, it still falls under the normal VS movie release schedule for DVD/blu-ray release (from before they started releasing them in theaters).
 
Unofficial Squadron Akibaranger, an extra show starting in April. It's official, just not being considered amongst the "primary" line of the franchise.

Interesting. I'm not going to write it off just yet but I'd be lying if I said I was a fan of the design. There have been plenty of times where I really liked a show despite not liking the suit design though.
