Lovelica was amazing.
I don't know how old the character's supposed to be but Niko's actress is 18 so her relationship with Taiga isn't too scandalous.

I know this is old but it looks like Noboru Kaneko(GaoRed) is going to be at Japan World Heroes this year.

I have a questiosn about Super Sentai, it occurred to me today, even though I have known about Sentai since Ninja Storm brought me back to colored heroes.
What's the official name of a Sentai? my question arises from Zyuohger and Zyuranger, like how do they do the disctintion between different "______ranger" ?
Are all those words made up? Is it just a fancy way to address that season? Ad the real meaningful word is the one that goes before Sentai? In the case I posted being Doubutsu and Kyouryuu respectively.
Sorry if that's and stupid questions and thanks for your time
Talking about Zyouhger, will it be the next one adapted or is Saban going to Kyuranger? I think the suits of Zyuoh are cool, but no one ever comes close to Gokaiger's.

Depending on the series, the word before -ranger can mean something.
Boukenger, bouken meaning adventure in Japanese.
Gaoranger, gao being onomatoepiea for a roar.
Kyoryuger, kyoryu being dinosaur in Japanese.
Kakuranger, kaku meaning hidden.
It goes on forever, some of the names are puns, some are allusions to the theme. It really depends, season to season.

We don't know yet. Will depend on if Saban/Bandai think Zyuoh's toys can sell or not, I guess.

The next one is most likely Kyuranger, since Bandai of America participated in its design process, and Zyuohger performed fairly poorly in Japan anyway.

This was a fun episode. But they really need to tone down Lucky and his focus a bit. He's not as bad as some Reds, but he's not one of the best too. Naga and Xiao alone can carry this series, if needed. They also need to give a bit more of focus to the other members. Raptor, Stinger and Garu are just... there. Champ had some more scenes, but would be good to see a bit more too. Balance had a few moments, but it's one of the best characters, so he deserves it.
I don't really like the boy, but his transformed fighting is pretty cool, using the scarf to attack. At least I don't hate him right now, like I did with KibaRanger ever since his first appearance.

18-19.
Huh, so I guess a romance sub-plot between the two of them isn't out of the question. Eh, after this episode, I really don't mind it.
Kamen Rider Wizard (FINISHED) though I haven't seen the movie yet...
Similar to Fourze, I was expecting to dislike Wizard a lot after hearing a lot of hate for it online. However unlike Fourze, the hate for Wizard is MOSTLY deserved. People are right on this one, the show is largely boring, and unlike Hibiki which was slow paced it isn't carried by good actors whatsoever.
Fourze hate is just a cry for friendship.
Good question. I'm starting to wonder why they put so much effort into that Ex-Aid blurb if they're not gonna sub it.
If Shout Factory were to sub Kamen Rider, where would they even start? Black because of Masked Rider, Ryuki because of Dragon Knight (which honestly needs to be released digitally) or say fuck it and go with a more modern rider?
starting with black/rx puts them at the right spot to run through the heisei series. wed get kuuga and agito next

Lots of new things to watch today, huh.
Snipe Episode Zero 1
This is... actually an important part of his story? This should have been on the series. Well, it has a lot happening already, can't really complain.
So, we never got a decent rip of Brave, after all? I was waiting for it, but may watch the bad rip anyway.
Will watch Ex-Aid and Amazons later today.

I mean, you could still put "Before there was Power Rangers" on the box lol.

Ex-Aid 27
Nico is pretty competent. They should just give her the compatibility operation already. But then there would be no belt for her, I guess.
The new villain group is actually pretty entertaining. Reminds me a bit of early Roidmudes. Of course, the president is less of a Heart and more of a funny bastard. Then again, we could say Pallad is in command here, and all we know about him is that he's protecting the Bugster (when he wants too, but is ok with killing some of them sometimes), and that he has some kind of rivalry with Emu.
Nico and Taiga are easily the best characters since Dan died. I see what you are doing, Toei, don't even think about killing either of them.
Next episode, Poppy will be back (or brainwashed, kinda like Chase was... twice.)
EDIT:
Kamen Rider Amazons S2 02
Aroma Ozone, seriously? Heh.
Iyu's story is... not what I expected. Kinda explains why she's almost indestructible, and yed so... vulnerable? Chihiro is growing a bit as a character. I'm interested in what he'll become and what's his backstory. This looks more tragic than the first season, from the start. A bit more gory, too.
Team X didn't last long after all, huh.
And... dat ending. Can't wait for the next episode.

kyuu -10- pretty good episode im actually rooting for kotaro. hes no justin at least.
one thing though, are there female suit actors amongst the mooks?
aroma ozone season 2-2 aroma ozone.... hilarous. i didnt mention it last week, but lady karas has some thick calves. very nice. and i was correct about my theory, but whoever came up with that is beyond fucked up. and iyus past... fuck. ocular trauma makes my skin crawl. kinda curious what haruka is there for. i thought he was protecting amazons?
extreme aid- 27taiga, jesus. why the hell was he dressing like someones moms who had to come down to school because they were acting up? and hes deathflagging all over the place, id like a plot twist, but i dont see that coming

Well, Chihiro and Iyu are killing Amazons...
But it is strange for him to be so preemptive after last season's ending.
Don't worry, what's-her-name will bring him back once she wins Chronicle. Am I the only one who can't remember these character's names? Like, they're cool but their names are so forgettable this season, other than Emu. I only remember Poppy and Dan because their names are said so often. Otherwise, I don't even know these people's Rider names.
These aren't his type of Amazon though. Hell they aren't aware that they are until it's too late and they don't seem to have any humanity anymore.
Tiu Neo

True, but it could be that he just thinks those Amazon deserve a chance too, or something like that. However, those Amazon are pretty much feral, so I'm not too sure of that too, heh.
Well, we'll probably find out why next week.
Wouldn't DoReMiFa Beat have worked?

Apparently Kyuranger isn't doing so hot ratings-wise, with only 1.8 in episode 7 (crossover episode - although Ex-Aid got 3.2 on that). It's the third lowest rated Sentai episode of all time apparently, and so early too as most of them are usually in the midpoint of the show.
TV Asahi's experiment isn't working I guess. The shows (both it and PR) need to head to Youtube where it's target audience is. Any Sentai or PR video gets massive numbers there, even subbed versions of Rider and Sentai movies get millions of views despite not being official releases.

We got new information about the new Ultraman series in the wild now.
That'd be a weird experiment. YouTube exclusive Toku. Granted the majority of the money already comes from toy sales but would it work.
Maybe Toei should look into Netflix. Saban certainly needs to.
They're already doing amazons on Amazon, s o they are looking into streaming, just not for the Kids shows yet.
But I'm not sure the ratings matter that much, what they're really interested in are toy sales.
Not sure if Netflix will cover as much of their demographic, but you know what worked rather well? Twitch (at least for PR).
That's a damn good point.
Got people that only cared for MMPR interested in the later seasons. Did a way better job than Saban and Nickelodeon have been attempting for the past 7(!) years.

Well, they already had net-exclusive... things? some time ago, they could try that again on youtube to test waters.
How is Crunchy doing for Ultraman? Toei could test something like that with a older series, but they would have to sub it, which is probably more work than they want.
Probably just the new Bullet Hell Bugster.

Not being subbed makes it a pointless release over here.
Really wish Crunchyroll will find a way to get KR on their J-Drama side. Does Saban have a license to KR in the West?
If anything, I feel the lack of Sentai/Rider on Crunchyroll is more or less due to Toei/TV-Asahi being stingy or clueless on what to do with overseas distribution.

TVJapan is just a wholly JP language TV channel. Nothing on there is subbed. The only surprise here is that Toei are allowing it to be aired somewhere outside of Japan.

I agree that they should be like Sunrise with Gundam and drop their stuff on YouTube. Alternatively, work out the licensing issues and get it up on Crunchyroll or Amazon Instant. Then you make sure that it's easy for worldwide customers to buy your stuff.
Done.
I mean considering the goals Kouta and Kaito had, it really shouldn't have ended in any other way. It just when it happens that's literally the peak of where the series could go more or less. The last two episodes feel a bit tacked on in comparison though I do enjoy the time spent resolving loose ends and character arcs.
I'm gonna post my full thoughts tomorrow. I have a few criticisms with the show. I will give Gaim credit in that it has so much content to discuss that if Wizard was done up at Gaim's pace all 50 episodes of Wizard would be in 1 or 2 episodes instead.
NeonZ
Member
I think the problem with Gaim's ending is that they make this entire build up about Kouta
challenging the laws of the world but in the end he just stands around and let's Sagara leave without doing anything.
Even if they didn't want something cliche where Sagara gets a monster form and blowing him up solves everything, the show should have ended with some kind of challenge to Sagara's system. Maybe Kouta pursuing Helheim everywhere to stop it from spreading to other worlds, rather than just taking care of that one planet, or even a failed attempt to defeat him just to show that even with Kouta's power that's beyond him.
