Fun little fact, MegaRanger was only 20 minutes longer in the previous time slot. After moving to the TV-Asahi 7:30 time slot, it was lengthened to 24 minutes, which we enjoy to this very day. So that's why the first 7 episode were only 20 minutes long! That's really interesting. I had always assum...

Well that was an enjoyable end to the Jark Naaga arc. I think the episode could have done without the fantastic voyage, but otherwise it delivered a satisfying conclusion to Naaga's walk on the wild side. I'm really surprised (in a good way) that they're letting Naaga keep his dark powers. I can't r...

This was another okay episode. It's holing my attention, but it's not really exciting me in any way. I can't quite pinpoint why either, and it's sort of bugging me. Give the reporter lady a bigger part, since she's clearly the best actor in the group. Agreed. She's only meant to be a supporting char...

Not quite as strong as last week's episode, but I still enjoyed it. The weakness is once again that Lucky just isn't a very compelling character, though in the case of this episode the dramatic tension wasn't handled quite as well. I do like the Lucky-shattering setup at the end, though.:) Red-only ...

This was mostly just a series of gags, but that's okay. If nothing else, the gags feel like they're better done here than the series proper, much of the time. BTW TV-N, assuming Toei releases this on DVD/Blu-Ray, will you guys be doing a second release based on those copies? This is much appreciated...

Ahh, SHT-Z. That would do it. I was trying my best to forget about that abomination.

PS Does anyone know where Toei got all of that HD Sentai and Metal Hero footage? Some of it seemed to be from Gokaiger, but most of it couldn't have been (especially the MH stuff). It was all very clean footage and looked fantastic Wasn't it just new footage? I didn't think it was old footage at al...

Well this was definitely a Koichi Sakamoto production. Legs, legs for days.:o (Not that I'm complaining) It did take a bit of time for the story to take off, but once it did this was an enjoyable episode. The simulation caught me completely off-guard, though the fact that Jasmine and Umeko weren't o...

This wasn't fantastic, but I enjoyed it. And I think the other posters have hit most of the high points and the low points. The Dekarangers were great, Geki less so. Otherwise, I did feel like I was missing things at times since I haven't seen the various Metal Hero series, and the recent movies. So...

I really want to give this episode a 5. There's a ton I liked about it. However Lucky is not strong enough to carry this episode; not as a character or as an actor (at least, as how he's told to act). So it's a fantastic episode let down by its choice in focus characters. I have to admit, I spent th...

Somehow I enjoyed the episode... the indabe roll call was fun to watch and the female one was... the commander? That was a good gag. She doesn't appear to be the actual commander, but rather it's poking fun at how it's RyuuCommander rather than Ryuu<color> like the other Kyuurangers. Commander is n...

I enjoyed the first episode. Sentou's hair just sticking up reminds me (a bit) of Alfalfa in Little Rascals, but that's where the similarities end imo. Sento actually doesn't have a hidden u in his name this year. It's made of the kanji for Sen (war/fight/battle) and... /me drum rolls to (bunny) Ye...

You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain

It sounds like you're well-prepared for the eventualy AkaRed V-Cinema where he's the villain.

Good thing I'm an adult and have the capability to make my own decisions.

I thought we didn't release the henshin lesson this week?

You didn't.

So I have to say, after so many episodes of Kyuuranger disappointed me in some way or another, this is the first episode I can wholeheartedly give a 5 to. Important things happened, there were plot twists, and the Naaga problem wasn't quickly resolved in one episode. All of a sudden, this show has a...
