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?

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...

Well that was an interesting episode, and I certainly enjoyed it. But the writing did get increasingly implausible at points in order to justify the overall plot. I was originally worried that Michinaga was going entirely off the reservation, but I'm glad to see he still has some sensibility left to...

Sometimes. Especially if the uploader is inept (and Toei isn't winning any Nobel prizes right now...).

We saw so little of yellow's kingdom. But right now, I'd classify that as the most generic medieval European country. At most, it seems to be a medieval/nature hybrid. Meanwhile, Red's country is an odd blend of medieval and steampunk. Yellow is more of a vicorian era europe rather than medieval, g...

>He strikes me as a cross between Sougo (zi-O) and Lucky (Kyuuranger), which is a very risky combination. The former was a turnip, and the latter was grating. So we're either going to end up with a character that balances out these aspects, or we're going to get a grated turnip. The likely outcomes...

Yep, we're aware. I for one am looking forward to Anon's eventual release of it.

Well now, that was certainly an interesting start to a new Sentai series. It's not the strongest series opener, if I'm being honest, but it has me interested in seeing where the series will be going. Above all else, that was a surprisingly bombastic premiere. Series openers are normally a bit flashi...

One thing that baffles me about people who don't like DOnBros because of the story is because I'm sort of the attitude "Sentai has a story?" When I think back to my favorite sentai series, maybe Go-Busters, Shinkenger, or LVSP has an ongoing story where they go from McGuffin A to McGuffin...
