Playing catchup with the last couple months worth of Gokaiger. Dat Ahim backstory episode.

Toei and Saban sure are trying to make sure we can't watch them.

The original shows are more available now than they ever were before Power Rangers. That's mostly to do with the rise of the internet, sure, but I doubt there'd be as big an audience, or as much interest in subtitling the shows, if people hadn't grown up with Power Rangers. It'd be even more niche than it already is.

I'm not saying people can't not like Power Rangers. There's plenty of Power Rangers stuff I don't like, and I consider myself a PR fan. I just don't get people having such strong feelings about something that doesn't really affect them.
 
With Decade back we better get two new finale rides. One where he turns OOOs into a giant coin that he flips and lands on the monster squashing it. And the other one where eh turns Fourze into a giant rocket he surfs on.

The running joke is that Decade FFR'ed OOO into three Kamen Rider OOO TaTaTa ToToTo and BaBaBa Combo, lol.

Ninjas and Samurai would be pretty obvious actually. We got a Rider based on a train before those, of all things.

Rider's themes and gimmics lately are quite unpredictable, yeah. Trains? USB Drives? Medals? Space? This is what waiting for the next show so exciting.

I also want a music themed sentai theme.

Music is a bit close to Precure's territory XD but yeah I'd like to see that.
 
Curious, what was the last power rangers series you've seen?

I doubt it matters much, given that the last post he made in this thread before that one was about Saban being scum. Pretty obvious they're just one of those people that doesn't like filthy gaijin desecrating glorious Nippon's toy commercials.
 
Latest Gokaiger ep felt like the Dekaranger finale for obvious reasons. Damn the fight was crazy and could have easily been the season finale.
 
I'm finally on Kamen Rider Fourze. I think it's pretty awesome so far but I immediately noticed the American high school stereotypes are thrown around ALOT. I mean come on jocks, cheerleaders, goths, burger meal (wtf?) and characters walking around eating potato chips and thats just the first 4 episodes lol. I dig the show alot though I just thought all of that stuff is pretty funny and weird.
 
The foodroids designs are too toy-ish for me, but suddenly they made sense since Yuki designed them. I too would design a hamburger-shaped spying robots if I were a high school astro geek girl.
 
That was quite an episode indeed.

If that was what they pulled off for the final battle for the secondary-villain, I can't even imagine what they will do for the finale. The first half of the episode was very much like the Dekaranger finale, actually.

I liked how they capped off Sally with a somewhat heroic ending, and loved when the music swelled up when
Basco collapsed.
 
Man, that Gokaiger. DRAMATIC SLOWMO was a tad silly, but a fantastic episode.

I guess we need to see what the next few weeks hold, but at this point I feel like anything they do after this is going to be an anticlimax. I don't even care about them killing the emperor at this point. There's no satisfaction from a villain who turned up less than a dozen episodes before the end of the show and then spent all that time sitting around doing nothing.

I do hope they actually do some pirating, ie: storm the emperor's ship.

Maybe a join op with all the random organizations through out sentai.

Maybe a last eps battilizer for marvelous? ;)

Agreed, it looks like all the interesting villains are done.

Insarn basically does nothing except shooting that giant beam. Ackdos Gils amazingly does less than his apparently idiotic son. With all the tributes to old characters, the villains really did take a backseat :/
 
The site I was using for Kamen Rider episodes is down...suppose megaupload reasons or something idk....what sites do you guys use to watch these?

Mech battles are also lacking this season.

I guess it's easier to make more old suits vs making more old mecha suits.

Even the finishers were pretty lacking this season. Nothing beats shinkenger god ray in recent memory.

The lack of clusterfuck gattai is one thing, but not everyone liked them though. As for finishers, I like Gai's normal mode finishers, though underused in favor of his Gold Mode. I also realized that Gokaigers didn't have a midseason powerup. Guess they met the toy sales quota without adding them!

Anyway Gobusters look promising:

Three of my favorite shots on the teaser. I particularly liked that mecha shot.
 
I am going to keep my hype low for Go-Busters. After a great season, the following season always end up disappointing me.

I thought the mecha fights this year were outstanding, actually. Especially that one for the Ohranger tribute episode.

I initially was thinking this, but when word came out that Kobayashi Yasuko was handling the writing I got hyped. Shinkenger is my favorite sentai I've seen so I'm really looking forward to Go-Busters. Also, I absolutely love their suit design, both transformed and not.
 
I read it once in a while to get the rumors. The collective maturity level of the place bounces between 10 and 13. Plus Greenninja rubs me the wrong way, something not right about him.

Wait, wait, what's your problem with GreenNinja? Dude's been a friend of mine for years. He's got his quirks, but no more so than any other random person on the internet.

Did he infract/mod you or something? :lol
 
Yeah, it looks like heavy artillery.

The Kamen Rider Club doesn't seem too interested in their newest member, I think. They barely think about him, "oh yeah, that guy".

Never posted really. Just seems a weird to me.


A wee bit excessive, eh?

That looks like hot shit, and I bet it breaks all the time.I guess the fisherman isn't getting a little buddy?
 
Wow, and they said Bandai of Japan isn't subtle.

Also, lol @ shitstorm regarding IT'S MORPHING TIME for Gobuster. The Sentai fanboys are really pulling their hair off.
