I can't hate on Ninnin for the action alone, but it also has good monsters, Star and White. And I don't usually watch sentai. People just want their own tastes to be catered ¯\_(ツ

Yeah, action is top notch. Add Pink to that list too, she's great.
Surprise Future comes out August 8th. We might get scans in a couple weeks.
On another note, if you want Kakuranger, buy Dairanger (I already was but for those that were hesitant)
God the writing for the team dynamics of Ninninger are all over the place. Either have Red do everything or try to have them work as a team. This fence sitting they're doing is more annoying than either option.
They threw the whole team under the bus. Taka ain't shit without the others acting as support, and the others are only good as support (including Kin, who may I remind you was introduced as good enough to fight Taka, Yakumo, and Fuuka all at once).
This is reminding me of Kakuranger, where they did call Tsuruhime the leader, but she didn't really do anything outside of her Shinobi Scroll episode.
Ninninger Something before the 20s
"Oh, and they also get wild with me and everyone is stronger!"
Meanwhile, all that Star did the whole fight was throw a single thunderbolt.
Drive 37
Kyu wearing his Murmur Mansion shirts warms my heart. Krim being left out of the whole meal is the sort of interaction I hope happens more (the same way I'm waiting for the episode where Shin has to wash the Tridoron, don't let that stuff happen only in the opening!).

Well, she was the only competent member... for something like five episodes, and then Jiraiya appeared and Sasuke got his shit together.
And then the whole thing with
her father.
I've been meaning to check it out anyways.
Sasuke is lazy, but he's actually smarter than all of them and saved them several times. The others let their feelings get the best of them, and just rush in without a plan. I'm glad Tsuruhime had that sub-plot to add to her character, but she still doesn't pan out as a leader.
She didn't even get a bike...

Drive 37? Yeah, I think that's it.
Good episode. Brain in number form as Medic's "sidekick" was funny. The new single numbers look powerful, and it looks like all/most roidmudes will die after all.
Heart
and the restaurant scene were pretty great scenes too.
Banno telling Chase that
may be just foreshadowing for the movie, but I think there is something more in that.
Krim Rider as cool as always.
That's true. But on a few episodes, Tsuruhime was as smart as Sasuke, and a few times even more competent. That happened less and less as the series goes on, and by the middle/end of the series it turned into "Sasuke always saves the day", but...
And at least she was important to the series, and a few important plot points revolve around her.

From the preview, I thought 006 was Krim and he had a sick martial artist side that we were going to see in flashback form this week.
But nope, it was a single Banno tease about Krim and a whole another character doing sweeps into spin kicks.

I goddamn hate Nagi.

I don't think those forms will see much use in the show though. It's still the same red armor only changing the chest symbol.

Ultraman X Ep 1
This was a really solid first episode, I'm definitely gonna keep up with X as it goes on. I especially really enjoyed the interaction between X and Daichi in their first fight together. X is an interesting Ultra, Kind but with a bit of snarkiness to all of his dialogue.
As a bonus, its good seeing DOCTAH MAHKI in another Toku.

Ninninger was trying to show that while the other members in the team were good on their own, they don't mean jack nothing without a focal point tying them together.
Plus since Taka shouts the loudest on the team, it kinda makes sense that he would be the one to lead them.
However they didn't really show it well and since Taka got the power up and took down the Yo-kai on his own making the "I need to step into the leadership role" moral pointless.
As for Drive oooh things are heating up, no pun intended and Heart is on to Medic.
Aw that's shame, it would have been nice if the production crews knew that they had a fan base outside of Japan.

Calling it now that Medic kills Heart in the next episode and triggers her ultimate evolution and becomes the final villain.

Probably since it seems experiencing the opposite of their emotions is what triggers them

Ultraman X starts off with a Godzilla ripoff monster.
So it has finally come full circle huh.

Warning! Warning!
Scans for Kamen Rider Ghost are now out in the wild.
Ghost will be in Surprise Future. Sweet! First movie appearance since Wizard showed up in Fourze.

I like it! The Driver has the suit come out like the Silver Age Flash. The suit itself is Orange and Black, a very nice combo.

I like the Jacket/Hoodie. I wonder if the material will be more leather-like or fabric-like. Looking cool, anyway.

I hope it's not all style no content like Wizard
Then why call her the leader? There could've been a good amount of character development for her if they showed she struggling with the role. It's just wasted potential for the first female leader.
It's not bad, but I'd like to see actual photos of it. They've been on a roll with recent Rider designs, so props to them.

Found it and holy crap is this design slick!
Black and Orange halloween style colors as his primary form and a hood over his helmet! Plus belt looks to have a sort cup that you place a ball into then turn a lever to have it capture the ball to henshin. Neat!
I love it.
The "antennae" taking the form of a single horn is neat, the orange/black color scheme ties in to the motif nicely, and the hoodie is a nice way of giving Ghost something unique (and if the fashion rumor is true, maybe having different accessories?).

First, Marvel created their own Kamen Rider, now Fox is creating their own Ivan Ooze for the new X-Men movie.
Wow @ Ghost
His helmet looks like it came out of Mass Effect, very Americanized design; also, the lack of the yearly dual antenna-like design makes it look very un-Kamen Rider-ish.
Hoodie is very interesting; also reminds me of American heroes. Also, can't wait to see the Toku version of this:

Anyway Ghost looks cool. The last time I'm excited with such design was with... Wizard.

Kiva... I'm on episode 35, so much is happening each episode. I like Taiga, so the love triangle is a bit agonizing. And yeah, Nago and Kengo switched roles. Love Nago now, Kengo... eh.
Carranger, almost on 40. Would be cool to see another team with individual robots like Kakuranger and Carranger, but maybe with the Ninninger's individual robots agility.
Japanese Toku -> American Toku -> Japanese Toku.

Or maybe it'll be even worse, because we had two good series in sequence!
But yeah, I hope it's good too.
Whoa, some of those sound very cool.
Spectre to be a secondary/another Rider?

I think so.
Actually, I read that you know the little scans we have now are from the full toy catalog, and apparently the full catalog was mentioned by 2ch to show a second Rider which I guess is Spectre. Hopefully we get the rest soon, I remember with Drive's we got a few basic scans of the belt and car, and then the full stuff showing Wild/Technic and the Shift Cars.
