Wow, this show is having some really bad pacing issues. Offing the masters in the first episode was one thing but killing the main cast by episode 2 was seriously really rushing things.

I'm hoping future episodes will keep the shadow of the masters' deaths around. wELP that didn't happen Unironically, though, it feels a little concerning that they've shifted gears to a more episodic, comedic setting after a story-crowded and catastrophic first episode. There's still worldbuilding ...

Well, this certainly felt like a mixed bag. First of all, I felt the concept was really on point. The swords-and-sworcery approach felt fresh, having a mentor team and a rookie team worked really well (though it looks like we aren't going to get more of that :|), the world has its own lore that it i...

I'm not sure if they need to take a break, but in my opinion they need to change the tone... [Kamen Rider needs] to make the themes a little more mature. Instead of having a show themed on fruit, ghosts or animals have the rider system be a government project with a driver that looks like it could ...

I think the Power Rangers concept was more or less old news by the time of Iron Man, and was essentially renowned as a kids series on a TV budget; additionally, I feel it helped Iron Man that the latter started out with more complex, realistic suitups in the first movie before springboarding into th...

Wow, it's been a while since I posted here. Not going to post an in-depth catchup when it'd be best saved for a series review, but here are some random notes from after I'd left off: Sento's got to be one of the worst pacifists ever Not sure comedifying Gentoku works as we've never seen that comedic...

Some images have begun to surface: http://news.tokunation.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/04/DX-Rube-Gyro-.jpg http://news.tokunation.com/2018/04/16/ultraman-rb-fully-revealed-dx-rube-gyro-ultraman-orb-dark-51963 I like the general look of the characters, but I wish they'd base their powers arou...

Well, this is interesting. "Earlier today, Haim Saban, the man behind Power Rangers and a few other one-time things that didn't work out, has officially announced that he will be taking footage from the Hyper Action Midnight Drama series, Garo , for an entirely new American production. As you p...

Ah, I’d missed that; thanks!

Can I just point out how extremely similar some of the aspects of this series is compared something I posted here? http://forums.tvnihon.com/viewtopic.php?f=148&t=21799 I've also noticed the similarity; the concept of the three police/vigilantes/villains forces seem all but impossible to mark o...

The fact that this comes mere days after Hawaii's similar warning has me raising an eyebrow. For all I know Hawaii and Japan both started working on such an alert after a certain authority figure started threatening NK and they both gave a false alarm upon completion (although it seems Japan's alert...

In America, iTunes has Gaim's opening, a few incidental songs (mostly from Kamen Rider Girls), and the Kamen Rider Generations Final soundtrack (including at least the ending song).

If I may stick my nose into this can of worms (which is an expression I sincerely hope never to use again), I may note that a big challenge for translating in general is balancing accuracy with looking/sounding good--for instance, the Build Driver technically says "Yaaay" sometimes, but ou...

Kyuuranger I actually dropped; even when I was at a cliffhanger it felt like I had to make myself watch the next one. It's possible it's improved since then, but it certainly wasn't working for me. Build has a lot of potential. I feel its characters don't always seem like real people in and of thems...
