I think I'd be happier with Megaforce if AdBlock+ worked with Hulu.

I unironically enjoy MMPR's vocal fight themes. They're a big part of the show's identity to me. I mean yeah, they're this doofy faux-grunge thing, but they suit the show perfectly.

Bringing this up makes me wonder why there was never a Gokaiger episode where the switched with each others' Rangerkeys for some reason or another.

BoutrosBoutros posted:The "charm" is entirely manufactured in your own head. They really are pretty awful if you try to watch them and separate out the nostalgia. I will say this though: I genuinely like Vrak as a villain. He's got a good level of smug and believable cunning. I may root for him a little more than the rangers sometimes, even if he is constantly swapping forms.

Weren't the Yumajuu turned into Toxic Mutants or whatever? That's sort of foreshadowing.

Potsticker posted:I liked Double's and Gokaiger's monster suits a lot. OOOs had some good ones too, but I'm lukewarm on Fourze's and Wizards. Gobuster's were too same-y and they reused suits a lot. Kyoryuger's so far have been pretty good, I thought. W's monsters ranged from cool (Weather) to silly (Sweets), overall I thought they were pretty average. My favorites are Agito's Unknown/Lords, Blade's Undead and Fourze's Zodiarts. I feel like those strike a good balance between having consistant, related designs without being uniform like Faiz's Ophenochs.

So they're going to get a new cast for Gokaiger's US adaptation right? I can't see the robo red ranger becoming Mr Swag, Captain Marvelous, or the nerd becoming second in swag, Joe. Gia would make a great Luka and Jake might make a good Joe and that's about all. I don't know why BMX queen would suddenly become the frail princess.

There's something floating around that says that we're not even getting a full Gokaiger adaptation, and for some reason the pirate suits will be upgrades for the Megaforce rangers.

Gia's actress posted a picture of herself with Gokai yellow's helmet a week or so ago.

The environmental message continued basically throughout the entire series so I'm not sure what you mean there. Goseiger is hippy as gently caress. The Uma were basically Captain Planet villains though, yes. Their gimmick was that they thrived in pollution and so all of their MotWs had some sort of pollution theme.

The first episode of Garo: The One Who Shines the the Darkness is loving amazing. Like, I'm loving torn, I watched the raw with the Over-Time script and I'm like, this is pretty loving good and I'd almost say like, watch it NOW that way... But if the 1080i Raws are THAT much better I can totally see it being 100% worth it because the show is visually brilliant plus there's some timing issues with the on-screen text translation and karaoke but that's nothing you really couldn't just fix yourself right now, and it's not really that big a deal. Watch it twice! Rei_ fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Apr 10, 2013 |

It's more or less a clean break for the series. Watching Garo seasons 1 and 2 might help with a bit of the world building context (AND YOU SHOULD WATCH GARO) but you should be fine, I think.

You would be lost in life if you haven't seen Garo. Garo is loving fantastic, and is my one sole bit of proof, beyond all of the Ultraman and Kamen Rider Double, that I don't just like things from the 60s/70s/80s. You know, if you also ignore Kuuga. And Agito is fine I guess, a little too cluttered. And I'm bad at this so I'll just shut up. Garo is awesome. The second season may be stronger over all, for characters and the plot, but the first has the greater scope and some pretty goddamn badass fight scenes that just can't be topped.

I felt the first season had a better overall story while the second season had better individual episodes. Both seasons have some pretty loving insane fight scenes though.

I don't remember anyone else bringing up the idea that humans were at fault afterwards, as opposed to blaming the current crop of monsters who wanted to destroy/enslave the planet. The Umajuu were also based on cryptids as well as pollution, hence the U.M.A. portion of the name for anyone who didn't know.

How long does it take for the first Garo to really get going? I watched the first episode, but afterwards wasn't compelled to watch the next instead whichever Rider or Sentai it was I was watching at the time.

That's...arguable. I'd say the series doesn't get really fantastic until a few episodes in, though the early stuff is important for setting up stuff. I want to say that after the clock tower is when the first series starts to soar.

Gosei Knight has multiple occasions where he blames humans in general for being fuckups, although only to that extreme of attacking them once. His arc is basically him going from "man, gently caress humans, ya'll are ruining this planet" to "Huh, maybe humans aren't so bad." It plays into the fact that He is Bladerun's Headder and Bladerun has basically the same mindset times a thousand because he's a giant rear end in a top hat.

For that matter, what does Garo, whose first season was in 2005? Am I having a stroke, or are you? One of us needs medical attention is what I'm saying.

Just finished Gokaiger. That was pretty drat fantastic. I do feel that the climax of the show happened with the final duel against Basco and everything afterwards was just a very quick mop up. The final fight against Emperor Gil on the Gigant Horse also felt a little flat and underwhelming, until they took it Earthside and ran through every Sentai team throwing everything at him, that was a nice finale. I mean hell, I barely recognise any of these teams (Zyuranger excepted for obvious reasons) apart from what I've seen/learnt through Gokaiger and it still put a massive smile on my face. Don't know where I'll go from here, show-wise. I was trading off between Gokaiger and Kamen Rider OOO early on - definitely going to get back to OOO but I don't know whether to marathon through OOO or pick another Sentai series and take a more relaxed pace.

Finish OOO, then go check out Kuuga, which it borrows like 70% of its themes from. (The other 30% is Blade, but I'm loathe to recommend Blade due to only TV-N subs.)

You really owe it to yourself to get to when a new character turns up and a certain fight scene shortly after that (you will know which fight I mean when you see it). The show hits its stride before then but that's an early highlight and if you're not in love with Garo at then point then you are a bad person.

Of course you shouldn't buy Hakaider, because for the same price you can get Hakaider and two other Keita Amemiya films bundled. And really, who doesn't like effectively free movies? Dunno why it's Zeiram 2 and not the original, but hey, it's free.
