the megazord honestly looks like... a suit actor can wear it lol. I mean its basically just a dude. Could be any toku dude.
some rescue fire vibes for me.
I wonder how many people will notice that.

Great fights scenes and glad that Shibukawa got more screen time here. The trend of great episodes continues this series.

Bookmarked. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
(I may have screamed "Fuck Yeah!" when that happened. Right next to my wife's ear. She was not too pleased.)

Has anybody check out the Power Rangers comic? I heard mix things about and I read the free comic book day issue.

I keep up with it and I like it. It being a comic allows for the Rangers to show more personality and allows us to see their interpersonal relationship beyond "Friendship and Teamwork with no problems!"

Cool. I might get some issues off of comiXology.
This video is a telling of the story collected in the first trade paper back, its got a great production and tells you the whole story, just not verbatim. It's like a motion comic, without the motion.

The art is great, and the writing pretty interesting. It's just nice to see more of the original PR team.
On the subject of Power Rangers, what's the general concensus on Dino Charge? I've just got done watching Linkara's History of and it ended on a sour note with Megaforce.

Dino Charge is really good.
What the hell. From what I could gather, Fujioka kept being a badass and protected himself anyway. Is Kenzaki's actor okay?

Only seen the 1st half of Dino Charge so far; characters are great and out-of-Ranger segments are excellent, but as soon as they start morphing and fighting, it is really poor, with bad VO, horrible foley effects, bad music, terrible pacing and very anti-climactic. They put in a lot of effort to make Kyoryuger footage seem weak, which is outstanding.
The music stands out as really bad. They need to dump Noam Kaniel, but I know they won't because he's Haim Saban's protege.
The sound mixing hurts it too. Like Doctor Who, the music and sound is often louder than the dialogue.
These are issues that pervade the Neo-Saban era in general.

apparently he was in argument with someone and that someone's friend came up from behind and hit him with a club, currently in coma but that's old news so we don't know his current condition
I'd make a joke about Leangle being the real traitor but that'd be in bad taste

A friend ask me today if there is any good tokusatsu podcast and I couldn't think of any. Does anybody here have any suggestions that I could give him?

No Pink Spandex and I think The Tokusatsu Network has a podcast.

Thanks. I will tell him that.

If you want to amuse yourself, get drunk and see if you can find old episodes of Dan's Toku Rants.
I'd generally recommend Tokusatsu Network podcasts and Rider Club Radio (which pretty much covers the weekly Sentai/Rider episodes every week).

Hm, I think I'll start watching the last few Sentai left today. Probably with Goggle V, I remember not liking it much back then, I'll get it out of the way asap.

I thought Gekiranger was pretty good for what it was.

Jan had some great moments, but he fell into the Red Ranger syndrome that some Sentai shows have.
Tiu Neo
Member
Yeah, he was like the last few shows Red, but with an even more childish/innocent personality. This gave us some great moments (like him training with master Shark), but also got a bit irritating after some time.
I dunno if it was toned down or I got used to it, but at later episodes that didn't really bother me that much.

start Blade so you can hop into cool memes and great show
Gekiranger is Top 3 Sentai. Great, great show.
Top 3? W-what? What are your other two??
hahahah
I watched the first episode some time ago actually, there was just something about Tachibana that kept making me laugh.
Nothing specific, I wasn't big into sentai back then + I went with big expectations after some hyperbolic recommendations. I actually liked the setup a lot (the fly narrator is great).

There's a pretty big change after the first 10 or so episodes in that the main villain basically becomes a parallel protagonist after a while, with a pretty big and active role even while opposing the heroes.

That is one of the cool things about Gekiranger that I tell people about the show.

Geki is within my top 3 Sentais aswell, along with Boukenger, and I want to say maybe Gokaiger.
it really did mix things up a bit in my view, and even with Jan's mannerisms, he was still a solid character and had a good story...plus there have been worse screaming/energetic Reds.
