I'm almost done with W and it's really good. Are all Kamen Riders this good? Because drat. I was also watching Dekaranger, but I kind of lost interest. I don't like anyone except for Dekamaster, and I suppose Dekagreen, but he gets so little screen time as it is. Also, why is Ban always yelling? Constantly screaming, all the time.

At least I have Gokaiger, which is fairly good. Maybe the next sentai will be both idol and cowboy. Like a pop star folk band or something.
I tried Dekaranger but eventually got bored too. Dairanger and Shinkenger are my favorite two Sentai series so far, but go with Shinkenger first since it's much more accessible.

I know it took a lot of convincing myself to get into Dairanger, since it's a little bit dated in the 90's kind of way, but I loved it when it started to pick up.

Oh, trust me, I already watched Shinkenger and Dairanger and you're right, they own. Deka just seems pretty mediocre in comparison. Also, I swear to god, if I have to see "Girls in trouble" one more time I am going to lose my poo poo.

Probably my favorite part of Dekaranger was the DekaxAbar movie where AbareKiller goes up to Deka Pink and says "You must be the leader" and she gets flustered.

Other than that I think I enjoyed SPD much more than the Sentai counterpart. Dekaranger was awesome in concept, and some of the characters were really cool too, but it got repetitive fast.

OOO finale owned, especially the action parts, not much else to say about it. I liked that little bit in the end credits where Fourze characters got a cameo. When in continuity does the OOO movie take place, anyway? Or is it just "huuuuh, poo poo, don't think about it too hard" like Movie Wars Core?

Either way, thank you, Over-Time crew, for helping make the last year not suck.

Something that bothered me about SPD is that it really seemed more like a military academy than a police academy. Granted, my perception of police academy may be warped by pop culture, but it just wasn't COPS-y enough

Dekaranger was a good episodic show really. I much preferred it over Magiranger. SPD just had characters who learned every other week "Well maybe teamwork is the best option."

The Dekas don't act at all like actual police themselves, they act like loving Judge Dredd in bright spandex. I mean, I more or less liked the show, but Jesus Christ is it sending a terrible message about police (worse than actual police send themselves, which takes effort).

Once for all: I don't care.

In this case (first episode of Agito) TN has better translation and worse video. I made side by side comparison and Gomen Rider version is not re-translated in the first place and scrubbed from rather bad translations in the first place.

I can't actually judge a translation because I don't know japanese, but it's pretty much the same used in Gomen Rider, just with better english overall.

TN also bothers to translate signs and the radio voice that in Gomen Rider version are completely absent. So: better subs, worse video.

This is from a while back, but while you're correct that the utterly meaningless thing at the front is translated, as are some signs that don't matter, it turns out their translation is also scrubbed from CAP's so implying that T-N's is better than GomenRider's on that basis is hilarious. Incidentally, GomenRider fixed the first of those reported errors, suggesting you've not a leg to stand on. But whatever, it's your time you can waste watching their kisama'd up bullshit. No skin off my nose.

That's true, but TN "scrubbing" is better than Gomen one simply because the english used makes more sense.

I noticed they were pretty close (which is why I said Gomen version wasn't better, as it's not re-translated) but comparing them side by side TN seemed to have english that made more sense overall (another thing I noticed is that the timing is better).

The point is, Gomen Rider version can't be much better since it's not their own translation, and TN one, imho, seemed an overall better version with subs. Not as good with video.

Neither is T-N's. That's the point. They're both photocopies, T-N just decided to add more Japanese whereas Gomen took it away.

This one isn't the standard T-N loathing though. Beating up on them is a bit played out in general, but they've gone ballistic on people in the past for sub stealing. A few times actually. And what do you know, here we are with them doing exactly that. Also with somebody defending their "original" translation as better simply because it is "original" despite it being a copy. A copy that retains at least one mistake that the other didn't.

Y'all wanna watch their OOO/Gokai/Fourze(as of next week) or whatever go right ahead. It's your time to waste on stuff that's demonstrably worse, but some people prefer that and I don't have the energy to convince people that wrong things are bad when they're dead set on them. But this is a cute little storm of that I couldn't resist.

Yeah as far as freaky Friday episodes go this ne could have been worse. It could have been better, they could have brought back the monster from Shinkenger with nobuyuki Hiyama's voice. Also even though I've never seen Jetman, I'm excited for the next episode, when they have tributes its like a retroactive preview for that series for me!

You can hear some of it in the background in the preview at the end of OOO. Singer is female, melody seems a little repetitive, but that's really as much as I can tell. W and OOO both had really catchy themes, so let's hope they continue that trend.
