It's good to see the Ultra Series again, even if it felt a little low-budget (the preceding Ultra Fight Victory felt a lot flashier, despite its being spun off of a way less successful series). Also nice to see Zero again? I really thought I'd have more to say on this. The effects on the subtitles l...

A lot of this felt like bad execution. I really like it that Shou comes up with a practicality-based (dare I say utilitarian?) plan that one ranger refuses in order to protect suffering bystanders. However, after that it becomes really unclear what they want to say, as several rangers join him, anot...

I'm starting to think this is meant for a younger age group than me. I know I should be expecting less, but the question is, how much less? Anyway, my favorite part was probably Balance telling the other Kyuurangers he was okay without a birthday when he clearly wasn't. He still cares about birthday...

Yikes, I'm behind. So it seems like the whole episode that allegedly builds up Hame's character is focused on why Lucky's the acting leader anyway, and there's no sign of Garou having the character he had in episode one, let alone Hami turning into a strong character in her own right. 2/5; I thought...

I like what they did with Poppy (although I think they may have overdone the heart motif a little). She seems to be sort of an enforcer of Chronicle that only gets involved if someone's breaking the rules, and it's also a neat reveal that she took someone over to be who she is. That said, I feel lik...

I liked a lot about this, but something about Kamen RIder Chronicle felt a bit lacking for me. I'd originally been thinking of civilians fighting each other to the death, rather than being rounded up to be killed in one shot. It's certainly possible they only died simultaneously for the initial dram...

I thought this was pretty filler-y. This somewhat makes sense, since such a plot-heavy episode last time may have called for a change of pace, but beyond the ending, hardly anything about the episode seems to have a real reason to belong in the show. The teamwork theme (regarding both the band and t...

I think it's because that episode was important enough that the director wanted more time (like with many series finales), and a little while later someone noticed and argued about the OP on legal grounds, getting it stuck like that for the next few months.

So first of all, I have to wonder if they were knocking off of me: http://i.imgur.com/vJdfVNfl.png http://i.imgur.com/joXNnJAl.png I really liked what happened here. In Tokusatsu, it feels fairly rare for heroes to go for mercy, so I really like how it works here. The ending of the previous episode ...

I have a suggestion.

ONORE, DECADOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I wasn't a particular fan of Sasori Orange bieng a spy as opposed to having a redemption arc, but the rest was pretty great. It really felt like what a Sentai series should be--mostly lighthearted, but with solid teamwork, good morals and a somewhat dark undertone. I like the space drama feel; I'm h...

Huh. It's been a while, but what parts of the opening are references to previous Rider series? I don't think I picked up on that at all. The main one I noticed was Emu walking past a black-and-white background, similar to Faiz's OP, though other people have noticed Emu's head disappearing into pixe...

While one may call this a callback to classic horror, though, I don't think it has the things that actually made the classics so great. Kind of like how I've heard people say Ex-Aid is trying to copy Gaim without realizing what made it so good, I don't think this special really understood what made ...
