[*] Was the MOTW costume a kitbash of some kind? Bits of it look familiar, but I can't place it as any specific monster. I was confused too, but these new mooks are a new batch of repainted monsters. I guess to show the story has continued on despite everything being more or less resolved in the Ki...

I have to admit, I wasn't quite as impressed with Yodonna 3 as I was the first two parts. Still, it's always fun to see Yodonna's actress again, as well as the rest of the Kiramager crew for that matter. Time gaps aside, this special still feels rather different from Yodonna 1 & 2. And I'm not s...

I'm thinking Anon is going to need to release a V2. I'm still watching their encode, but there's random karaoke starting at 10:20. I think it belongs at the end?

The dung beetle MOTW said let him eat "that" to grow gigantic. I'm betting whatever "that" he ate was related to Rainbow Jururira. Hmm, that's a good connection that I didn't make before. The Bugnarok were oddly imprecise (if not evasive) about what it was. Given the bug motif f...

So what's the deal with Rainbow Jururira? They've made too big of a deal about it so far for it to be some unimportant item.

I'm enjoying that we get to spend an episode introducing each of the rangers. But I do have to admit that this episode didn't quite click with me. Trying to pass off being selfish a positive thing is a very odd ask; there is a pretty clear line between being self interested and only interested in yo...

>And sure enough, checking the wiki, Sakamoto was the director for this episode. Every director has their own style, but Sakamoto really does stand out. I don't know if I saw enough thighs, maybe next ep Isn't that what Yodonna 3 is for? :lol: > If nothing else, this ensures there aren't two speedy...

4 minutes in: Oh neat, untransformed fighting with the actors! We don't get that very often. Hey... wait a tick. Untransformed fighting?! We've been Sakamoto'd! :lol: And sure enough, checking the wiki, Sakamoto was the director for this episode. Every director has their own style, but Sakamoto rea...

Interesting. I didn't realize Abema was same-day. I thought they were delayed a few days. But I guess that's just Amazon? As the resident image quality snob, I agree with your assessment. Looking at some of the frames from the OP, it's a bit worse than broadcast (or good TTFC), but not immensely so....

I see that Anon's releases this week aren't broadcast TV rips. Any idea of Toei finally fixed their TTFC chicanery, or if they're using a different source?

With any of those services, I'd be sure to check the frame rates. If they host content from multiple sources, they may normalize everything to 30fps out of convenience... The Abema files are 30 fps. Apparently this is more common than I thought D'oh! I wasn't exactly hoping to be right, here... If ...

Hmm, it looks like the v2 broke the font used to display the number of years at 09:20?

Spoiler

V1:


V2:

Those stairs?

During the first fight. Don't they like filming on that staircase?

Oh! That outdoor plaza with the stairs. I get what you mean now.

I'm not sure what I expected from this episode. But I admit hacking duels were not part of it. I get the impression that one of the overarching themes for this season is that they're all crappy kings, albeit each in a different way. Racles is your typical tyrant, Yanma lacks tact/decorum. And we'll ...

I feel like this is a setup to the question of how different is the Jamato from actual humans since like you said, they retain all of their human counterpart's memories? What makes human, human and how is Jamato any different? But knowing Toei, they might just set this up only to never really answe...
