Holy crap!!!!!!

 

[Boss Doggie]

Well I guess it means GB not getting held by Saban's grubby hands.

 

[BatDan]

Why people want a sequel anyway? I like standalone seasons.

Most PR seasons ended with a sense of finality. RPM ended with Venjix still alive. With much less power but he could easily regain it.

 

[jwk94]

So Chip Lynn said we're not getting the Dino teamup. Sigh, another year without a proper teamup.

Chip Lynn says that a Go-Busters adaptation wouldn't really work as an RPM sequel

His reasoning is weird though. RPM was dark but Go-Busters was fun. Well, Go-Onger was wacky as hell and that was adapted into the post-apocalyptic tale we all love. Then again, the Buddyroids might clash a bit.

Also, an interview with RCrew brought up trains, and he feels trains wouldn't really be marketable in the West. Hmmmm

Don't hurt me like this =(

Why people want a sequel anyway? I like standalone seasons.

Venjix is still alive, RPM was a damn good season, and not using the Go-Busters' suits is almost as bad as not using the ToQger villain suits.

I just want a Go-Busters adaptation ;_;

 

[Box of Bunnies]

IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!

Dairanger confirmed!

Nice.

I still haven't even picked up the Zyuranger set, though. Might import both if the Dollarydoo ever stops being so shit against the USD.

Can't argue against that. I would love an excuse to see GoBus suits and vfx again.

Spoiler

And maybe they would make badass Dark Blue and Yellow Busters too.

 

[LostAnkh]

IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!

Dairanger confirmed!

ONE STEP CLOSER TO KAKURANGER.

 

[Boss Doggie]

But who would be Enter

 

[jwk94]

But who would be Enter

What past Ranger speaks French?

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I only just caught up with the Kamen Rider Ghost news and rumours. One rumour is saying that Kazuhiro Takahashi from KR Fourze is producing it, but wouldn't this year normally fall under Takaaki Utsunomiya's (KR Wizard, last did ToQger) watch?

Toei could be trying to fit four producers in their rotating cycle now. It could also mean Utsunomiya is doing Super Sentai #40, if they don't give that job to Omori.

We have officially switched over to the second OP for Garo: Goldstorm and its fantastic as always. The new episorde had a fucking awesome fight against a gigantic horror, although I would've liked to have seen Gouten come into play, the way Ryuga and Rian finished it was pretty awesome anyway

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Dairanger was my first full Sentai Series, so this is neat...

It's honestly kind of a weak series outside the awesome choreography though---the rip-off Star Wars/Superman stuff, that fucking cactus episode, and of course the ending pissed me off and renders a lot of the earlier show moot.

I still don't understand the ending.
I can't imagine people that saw it in 1993 and to this day still don't get the ending.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Baseball episode's pretty good though

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Dairanger's writing in general just felt really disjointed.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Baseball episode's pretty good though

There were like three episodes that was set up like that, right? With those three comedy relief monsters, one was a bike I think? They were fun.

 

[WillyFive]

Dairanger had good stuff, but it wouldn't be in my Top 10 Sentai. It was mostly nonsense.

 

[RoryDropkick]

When I saw the end in early '94 I had thought Daijinryu was responsible somehow, but I was 14 and I had my friend helping translate, so it was us just kinda going back and forth and discussing theories. *shrugs* Speilban's ending was kinda that way too.

 

[javadoze]

On another note, it seems as though the DX Drive Driver is going pretty cheap right now ($40 or so).

 

[Boss Doggie]

The only good thing in Dairanger is the action and characters. The plot is very nonsensical.

 

[sprsk]

The Lion-haoh song is awesome. Chosetsu looks way too powerful for a midseason upgrade wonder if there's more planned.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I wonder if we'll see all the Tire Combinations in show?

I realized Weather Report, Tough Guys, and American Dream have at least one component tire that never appeared...Solar, Commercial, Traveler, and Circus.

Only Grand Prix has had all of them.

The only good thing in Dairanger is the action and characters. The plot is very nonsensical.

But Kou's obnoxious, and the main characters are kind of bland...and poor Kaku barely gets any focus episodes.

I recall there's that one episode where the Dairanger play a really horrible trick on Kou, mainly Pink. Didn't they tell him his mom hated him or something?

 

[BatDan]

Also, last week was the 4th of July Weekend episode, and they didn't even bring out American Dream. Wasted opportunity!

 

[Slayven]

The Lion-haoh song is awesome. Chosetsu looks way too powerful for a midseason upgrade wonder if there's more planned.

I can't even begin to imagine how the final combo will look like. Is there a Japanese version of OSHA, cause red needs to file a compliant for that cockpit placement.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

That little shit had it coming

 

[WillyFive]

Kyoryuger is basically the Dairanger story, except rewritten to feature actual characters and to make more sense.

 

[RoryDropkick]

I feel like the weirdo here that I consider Dairanger one of my top 10, but it's probably nostalgia as part of it, who knows.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Well Dairanger characters except Kou

 

[Slayven]

Finished the first epsiode of "Sadistic Detective", the first bad guy is nonr other than Ninnger Dad. In what I believe to be a nod to Dekaranger, he was beaten by a cross dressing detective.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I really hate it when an episode is all about teamwork yet ends up with the red being focus regardless.

 

[Slayven]

It is like"Yay teamwork!!!"


"Fuck it, Red got a powerup. Time for a coffee break./"

 

[BatDan]

Some have noticed that all the seasons since Go-Busters have been way too Red-centric.
Was it because Go-Bus failed that hard, or was it due to Kyoryuger being a massive success?
"Let's slowly turn Sentai into Kamen Rider! Kamen Rider makes the money"

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Nothing wrong with a red focused series

 

[BatDan]

Ninninger 20

It feels like Bandai wants to make their own Battlizers lately. First Carnival Mode in Kyoryuger, now Transcendent Mode here.
I won't lie... that was pretty awesome though.

Nothing wrong with a red focused series

If done well like Kyoryuger, yeah. With a very charismatic Red.
But Ninninger's Red still feels off. I still don't see him as a leader.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I don't mind red-focused stuff, just as long as it doesn't have a pretense of stuff like teamwork.

 

[Slayven]

Nothing wrong with a red focused series

But you have to have a good red or it faills worse

 

[ReiGun]

Kasumi is the leader of the Ninninger, even if the show will never say it.

 

[Parallax]

Kasumi is the leader of the Ninninger, even if the show will never say it.

theyve made her infallible. its as annoying as red being an eternal idiot.

 

[Slayven]

And don't say shit, too treats that make someone annoying when together.


Chase does it right "You didn't ask", he is infallible in some things, while still learning.

 

[MrJames079]

So Crunchyroll have announced that they will be simulcasting Ultraman X as it comes out.

Really awesome news, the Ultra subbing community isn't exactly the strongest thing so having a guaranteed fast release is pretty nice.

Oh that's pretty cool.
Have not watched Ultraman, but I'll support this.

Crunchyroll have some of the other seasons up as well. I'd recommend Max or Mebius if you're interested.

Say whaaaaaaaa-!?!

This is an amazing stride for toku. (Now to get simulcasts of Rider and Sentai...)

Though it's weird how there hasn't been little to no subs of Ginga S yet.

Ninninger 20

"You've learnt about how teamwork is important... again! Here's the tools for you to become a one-man army!"

I've been enjoying Ninninger and I don't mind Red-centric shows, but it does strike me a little odd for Ninninger to have this fixation on its Red while also focusing on the moral of teamwork and the whole "there can only be one Last Ninja" thing.

 

[Tiu Neo]

Ninninger 20

...one day, they'll work as a team and not depend on Takaharu too much. Maybe even make the team not worthless without him. One day. It's kinda sad, because alone, at least three of them are pretty competent.

The new power up is cool, hope the others get to use it too. Or the new Ninja allies making each one of them have new forms, since it looks like that the lion will be Red exclusive.

Yukio singing his own theme song was awesome.

 

[WillyFive]

Focus on the red seems to be a directive from Bandai or some higher-up; kids always want to be Red so the company decides to focus more on him, which creates a never-ending cycle.

They aren't even trying to hide it with Ninninger; it feels like it's two sides clashing, one side trying to sell the Sentai teamwork angle and the other making Red the most important person alive.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah honestly why not just make a singular toku with red motifs?

O-oh...

(but seriously in the early days of toku red solo heroes are pretty common and big)

Also is Ultraman X gonna be good?

Who knows, but I like the look of the suit and those monster armors that its getting also looks pretty cool. I'm gonna watch the first few episodes and decide from them if I'll follow it as it comes out

 

[Boss Doggie]

I guess I should be thankful GB existed, but even then older Sentai wasn't this Red-pandering.

Studio Meganne's 8-bit cover of Ninninger's opening

Yeesh, the comments. I don't think Ninninger is that bad, I like it better than ToQger at least.
