Since I don't know much about the actors whenever I watch Tokusatsu, I have to wonder who On/Off is, but I'm guessing it's a boy band? Otherwise, whoa, I finally watched the first episode and I've been blown away. The action is cool. And definitely seems Kurumada like with the diverse cast of fighters. And I like Himeko and Ranko, cute cute and yet their character are polar opposites, awesome. Yasha-hime, not so much my tastes...I dunno I find the shiny lip gloss distracting... (Himeko isn't that same chick from the Godzilla movies is she? The psychic character who was always appearing? Nah I think that one would be older... But I see a similarity) Plus who doesn't like ninjas? Shirtless lovesick

crossdressing
ninjas... The effects are well done.

Fujita Rei in another Tokyo MX series!

First a long-haired, sword-wielding knight in Garo, then a cross-dressing pretty boy in Princess Princess D (opposite Sato Takeru of Den-O fame), then a sword-wielding Ninja, then a group-date addicted vampire in RH Plus! :lol:

He gets the best roles, seriously! :lol: :lol:

Someone needs to cast him as a Kamen Rider... also a butler. He'd be awesome as a butler... a sword-wielding, ninja, vampire butler with long hair.... that secretly loves oreos. :D I bet there's a manga about such a character that's yet to be adapted to drama, too. :lol:

Ding ding ding, we have a winner:
12:30 Perhaps a note of what "Yasha" really means?
I looked it up on a Japanese dictionary, and guess what, the meaning is totally different (than "female demon"). It comes from the Indian word yaksha:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaksha
Which just means nature-spirit
Note that Fuuma just means "Wind Demon" so it's not like they're giving the bad guys stereotypical names

Have you ever noticed that in Japanese popular works, especially when you're dealing with powers or elements, the main character will be imbued of one of either two abilities: Wind power or the power to negate everyone else's abilities. Just something I notice.

Oh my... Thanks TV-Nihon, this is the best eye-candy filled, wacky, over-the-top series I have laid my eyes on for a while. And tacky. Oh god isn't it tacky. Just... wigs. Look at those wigs. This is awsome.

I've seen only the first episode, and I'm already considering this a masterpiece. Not counting the ho yay. I'll be sorely disappointed if I won't get my good share of ho yay.

I hope it doesn't get mushy. I want these wig-ninjas to try and remain badass with their improbable hair (and ninpou).

Also about wigs: I didn't know that the guys in Beehive were secretely ninjas...

The "ho"? You do understand that's kind of offensive, right?

I almost think he's referring to something else because he says "ho yay" and I wonder if that means something. Because if it's slang I don't know what a "ho yay" is.

Yasha-hime's actress is in Keitai

Although I typesetted this, for some reason I did not notice that until just a few days ago.

I just finished watching 01. And I must say that I was totally entertained. I will most definitely continue to watch.

Thanks TV-N staff for another great series [read more eye-candy for me XD]

I like how it turn different with the anime version. Its so happy TV-N make the subs.

I know she play at Keitai when I saw Keitai at the first time. But she looks really different. Great actress ^^
