Oh yeah, I saw all those coats but didn't really think about why everyone was wearing them. I guess everyone must have been pretty cold.
I didn't even see that photo until later. I mean in the episode itself: the actors themselves just flat-out looked cold in the scenes that were shot outdoors. Hot pants do not make for good winter wear, despite the name. :shock:
On a tangent, I'm thinking about starting a collection of photos of Sakamoto posing next to a pretty girl with a big thumbs up and a silly grin. I think it'd be fitting
Haha. That would be perfect. Do it! :lol:
>Interesting. It's been quite a while since we've had a DC of anything Sentai-related.

*coughs* http://wiki.tvnihon.com/wiki/Category:Director's_Cut
Looks like the only one we had was Go-Busters. Although I could easily have skipped something since we make the wiki ourselves, but DC tends to fall on Rider stuff more than Sentai stuff. (And even then, the last one was years ago, probably around when Toei figured out that the disc industry was dying off)
Now that you mention it, you're right: it's been a while since the last Rider DC as well. I've missed those. Admittedly I didn't have to pay for them, but they were fun to watch. :P

(And at first glance the list is missing the epic Fourze 31-32 DC, but otherwise it looks complete to me)

Honestly, they're kind of a mixed bag. I liked seeing them as deleted scenes/cutting room floor stuff for Kiva. Since we got some funny jokes (was there deleted scenes for Den-O). But when they started adding them back and rereleasing them as director's cuts, it became kind of a unfun game of trying to spot what 10-15 minute additions exist to justify rebuying the movie. And from that framework, it became a lot less amusing since the cut scenes rarely added anything.

Haha, it's on there. The two-parter was rereleased under the title Climax Episode

I don't know why they bother to have a giant monster fight if they aren't going to bother having a giant robot fight.

Yeah, it's sad that Rita's backstory has nothing to do with ZyuRangers. It's just a visual homage and a few name drops, but nothing more. Also, it feels like they should have had a fifth episode where the dinosaur warriors come and pass the baton off to the Ryusoulgers. The fact that ALL the dinosaur sentai members were absent felt like they were planning something, BUTTT didn't get around to doing it.
They're probably saving it for the inevitable nostalgia milking vs movie. Wouldn't surprise me if they didn't want to pay for the actors twice.

Are they going to do it again though? I doubt it, since not all the actors are available, a couple of them have retired too.

I watched it for the first time recently, it was alright, but none of the new footage was really worthwhile. The promised scenes of the other 4 getting their Zyudenryu were incredibly short. I'm gonna listen to the audio commentary for it, so that should be fun. The Kyuranger vs Space Squad audio commentary was great too. Take a shot every time they say someone looks like someone more famous.

I don't expect much from the Saikyou Battle DC. We don't have a run time yet, but I bet it's not much. At best I'm hoping for some more Gokai Changes. Anything else I don't expect at all. There's also no sign of audio commentary for it, which is a shame. As I said, those are often fun.

Yeah, I think Luna looked at Brave Prelude and was like "Nah".

I recall asking you at the time and you said no, and having since watched it, I can see why. Aside from a few little bits, I could barely even tell what was new.

For movies at least you only have to edit one script but for the Kyouryuuger DC we were looking at 4 separate scripts and sometimes an added 2-5 seconds a scene, which doesn't sound like much but it throws everything off. Ultimately I decided that it was just not worth the effort.

tl;dr I am lazy bum

Honestly if you wanted to do that or the Saikyou Battle DC I'd probably be up for doing the timing for you.

I actually really enjoyed this miniseries! Lots of fun little moments, and I remember thinking in episode one "oh huh, she's named Rita and has a little staff, so it's a cute nod to Power Rangers, neat!" and then The Explicit References happened in this episode and I was extremely happy.

I'm also far more interested in Ryusoulger than before, because Gaisorg is not just a cool costume, but a haunted suit of armour who could contain anyone, but specifically going to certainly be character-important people to drive drama clear into the stratosphere? Hell yes. It's another neat permutation on the Evil Ranger theme, like Wolzard who he openly evokes with colours, armour construction, and a beefy-boi shield.

I also enjoyed the various super forms hitting Ultimate Dai-Santa to absolutely no effect, so Marvelous just slams GokaiGalleon into the guy. It's the most Gokaiger "this is extremely effective, so we're doing it" thing.

Isn't the haunted armor thing literally from Abaranger though?

Thanks, but the thing would probably need to literally be completely retimed, so we can take care of that.
