Blade_of_tyshalle posted:So apparently the official romanization for the new Sentai has come out, and it's... TOQGER. Toqger? ToQger? Anyway, I guess that makes the Ranger names TOQ-1, TOQ-2, etc, which seems a lot more like how trains would be named. Their belt buckles abbreviate it further to TQG.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:What build-up there was came about so suddenly and so blatantly that the only reaction possible was "no way, they're not seriously going to force a romance this late, are they?" I am 100% on board with you that it wasn't handled especially well, but I much prefer Amy straight-up going "This is stupid, I'm going to stop thinking about it and punch dudes" rather than her and Yayoi trying to compete with each other for the entire back half of the show.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:Is Ninninger any good? Like, I couldn't get into it when it started because the red guy was horrible, but Starninger or whatever looks pretty cool. Worth catching up on, or should I just skip the series? Recent episodes have actually been pretty good, simply because they're not hurling Takaharu to solve absolutely everything forever anymore. It still takes a while for that to happen, though, so if "Pick it up in the mid-late-20s" doesn't appeal to you by principle then you should probably skip it.

Guess I'm part of the problem in us probably not getting a sequel though, huh. I can still see Saban absolutely insisting on following through with one or two more movies but that steam's gonna run out eventually before all six happen.

I love Sentai robot hands and the complete refusal to give a gently caress about how goofy it looks to have one arm just be an enormous block of foam latex while the other has the suit actor's hand free to actually hold something.

Covok posted:How was Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger? Week-to-week, LuPat was entertaining, but its narrative is virtually nonexistent - it's like the first ten episodes of Kamen Rider Ghost when Takeru was still collecting the Eyecons and nothing really happened, except now it's forty-five. If you don't mind the standard Super Sentai episode plots, you can at least enjoy Keiichiro being the best Red in the last fifteen years, but if you want an actual story with your rainbow spandex punch team then skip it and don't feel bad.

Coq au Nandos posted:The suit designs are the only good part of the series. The mechs, monsters and plot were all quite bad. KyuRenOh (and to a lesser extent RyuTeiOh) on its own is super rad, and still one of the better ways to deal with hotswappable robot components that get used a maximum of twice throughout the show's run. Unfortunately, the show tried to combine the robot with more robot.

I dropped Ryusoulger about ten episodes in but I will forever defend my legally-distinct-not-LEGO robot friends for the "ZordBuilder, but doesn't suck" concept alone. As much as I hate the trend of gigantic clusterfuck final upgrade robots, being able to make your own unique nightmare beasts using every single one of them at once is kind of refreshing.

Junpei posted:Then how come I haven't heard people complain about Koh in the same way that people criticize Takaharu from Ninninger? Part of it's probably for the same reason nobody talks about Kamen Rider Saber in the ADTRW thread: Ryusoulger's greatest sin is being nothing to actually talk about besides it sure being a show on the Japanese children's television. Takaharu, by contrast, got pushed so aggressively hard he pretty much single-handedly ruined his show with how he was written. He can't stop being the focus of an episode in other characters' focus episodes. Literally, one episode was about Blue and Gold's unconscious inferiority complex compared to Takaharu's effortless success in Being A Ninja, and once they learned not to give a gently caress about comparing themselves to him and they had the opportunity to use the mid-season suit upgrade, they both gave Takaharu the finishing scene of the fight. He tries to land in the "Idiot Red" crowd but he overshoots way too hard - he's loud, he's impulsive, it takes no less than three separate lectures on teamwork for him to even grasp the concept of teamwork (for which the show rewards him with what by all intentions should have been a full-team finisher, which was only used once, by himself). It also didn't help this was apparently his actor's first major role, and Shunsuke Nishikawa was... not good, at the time, at all. He was never nearly as bad as Troy in Megaforce, and he does get better (his showing in Super Sentai Strongest Battle is actually pretty decent), but for a solid year this was the face of hot-blooded ninja excitement as he shouted his catchphrase for the third time in a 22-minute stretch:  His shirt game is absolutely on point, though. He wore some incredibly good designs. A lot of people at the time compared him to Daigo from Kyoryuger because it also turned into a super Red-centric show, but the big difference between the two of them was Daigo actually had a modicum of charisma and also never cared about his own status: while it was a literal plot point for an episode about his big glaring weakness being he has no weaknesses, he constantly talked up how his efforts were only made possible by the entire team backing him even to the end. Takaharu, as mentioned, needed two episodes in a row to understand the idea there are four other people in his vicinity. Koh meanwhile exists. He has his moments like every character and I thought he was okay but for the time I was watching he was just fuckin' there and I could not tell you what his actual personality was beyond Pretty Decent Dude.

Larryb posted:Fair, though Kasumi is still a really good Pink in my opinion regardless (and her PR counterpart wasn't that bad either as I recall) Kasumi was the start of a line of incredibly good Pink/White continuing to this day in the Sentai half of things, and depending on my mood shares top spot with Tsukasa from Patranger. Larryb posted:I also find it funny that despite being canonically born in America Kinji's Japanese is better than his English. As disappointed as I was hearing Kinji's actual English compared to his backstory, I don't think I'd have traded a fluent accent for the hilariously bizarre way he screams "WHAT?!" Dude owns, he tries so hard to save his show.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:Holding out hope that we do in fact get that show next year. They put a ton of effort into Shinobi's Rider Time special, and it would be hilarious to canonify that with a legit show (especially if they actually use those episodes' scripts) I would absolutely love for this to happen as well but my only concern they won't is from the cannibalizing of previous shows' suits to make the Shinobi ones and the belts being Zi-O retools. They could always be redesigned from the ground up, though, who knows.

Larryb posted:Hell, even Troy’s actor is much more personable outside the show than his performance in Megaforce would suggest. That one scene of Troy legit goofing off and showing his actor actually can emote, suggesting the entire rest of the time he was just directed like poo poo. Which if I remember was confirmed in some interview somewhere?
