Re: Ressha Sentai Toqger VS Kamen Rider Gaim released

Toei should make more of these specials. As in one for every Sentai and Rider that comes out from now on.

Re: So... genki guys/girls... don't translate in adaptation?

Good point. I'd just like to see Power Rangers other than Justin who had Genta/Pinkie Pie's enthusiasm toward even the tiniest things with the same amount of energy that they have withOUT Attention Deficit Disorder and/or 3 energy drinks running through their systems. Kids would love a Ranger with t...

Re: How do you want Kamen Rider Taisen to end?

I call bullshit since up until the final bit, Showa was beating Heisei by like 20% My bet is that they changed the numbers because the kids don't care about Showa. Seconded. Like how celebrity audition contests usually end with the prettiest people being the only ones who make it to/past final elim...

So... genki guys/girls... don't translate in adaptation?

So... as anyone who watched Samurai Sentai Shinkenger would know... Shinkengold embraced life to the fullest... over everything. Every. Little Thing. In ways that rival Pinkie Pie from MLP. But in Power Rangers Samurai his counterpart acted kinda like him, after 4 or 5 Ritalins. Bo-ring! Imagine how...

Re: Power Rangers Super Megaforce

Might sound unlike a Sentai fan to say it's probably best they don't use any of the rangers from the first 5 years or any with cotton looking suits. But it seems better for Power Rangers, if it's going to have Sentai-exclusive teams shown, that at least they look like suits that could come from the ...

Re: Bouken Movie in HD released

Awesome to have it in HD now. :3

Wow, this makes me feel old. Boukenger was also the first of 2 full length tokusatsu shows I watched from start to finish.

It's been almost 10 years. Almost makes me want to say "ONORE DIKEIDO!".

Oh wait, I just said it. :P

Re: Power Rangers Super Megaforce

They didn't reshoot the Animaria ejection, instead hoping nobody notices TURBORANGERS fall off thousands of feet without dying or their suits exploding. Basically MMPR and Masked Rider! laziness. Then suddenly for no discernible reason Red Lion decides to join them. But considering it's Neo-Saban er...

Re: How do you want Kamen Rider Taisen to end?

Yes... Akira Kushida. Awesome. I miss the dramatic themes of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s shows.

I didn't really get excited by 2000s-onward themes aside from Gaoranger, Abaranger, Decade, Dekaranger, and Gokaiger.

Re: Power Rangers Super Megaforce

Weird... suddenly they have Super Megaforce keys when they didn't before? Kind of reminds meof Fist of the North Star with how part of the time it was Fist of the As-The-Plot-Demands (it was a good series though and it as a whole is good despite beng made up on the spot). Anyways Jetman and Dairange...

Re: Toqger 02 departing now

Called it... the Japanese "ball in a cup" is called a kendama.

Not trying to advertise, just that was a really good visual result.

I think it's called a kendama but not sure.

Re: Translation decisions in Toqger

The Japanese use a lot of fancy-spelled or odd names. Like NiGHTS (every letter but the i is capitalized) in Sega's NiGHTS series. The Mihimaru GT song commonly just spelled "Kibun Jojo" in English lettering has an up and a down arrow at the end in the original Japanese spelling of the nam...

More likely "GORAMGER" since that was what their bikes said.

Re: Translation decisions in Toqger

Like I said, I'd LOVE a fictional language based off the absurd pronunciations and intricacies and illogicalities of the English language to the point a whole section of the media used to present the story is nothing but a dictionary and pronunciation guide for the made up words. Although this subje...
