Gavan vs Dekaranger
So this is Toei's first installment in an attempt to make a cinematic universe with the Metal Heroes and the space-based Super Sentai? Nice! I'm excited.
This movie was my most anticipated Toku thing this year, and I enjoyed it a lot. Sakamoto knows how to make action scenes become a spectacle, and they were fantastic. The Dekrangers made the movie really fun and comedic, and I enjoy the continuing saga of the Space Sheriffs. The new special effects used for the morphing sequences and attacks were also awesome. I was surprised to see Retsu still fight at this age, too.
However, it seems like they intended this movie to be a crossover with Juspion and Deka, not Gavan; I guess they couldn't get anyone from Juspion to show up so they tacked on New Gavan in there and kept everything else almost exactly the same. The editing in the movie was a bit wonky, and the music choices during some of the scenes were rather absurd. Sakamoto also indulged a bit much in the torture scene near the end, but he has done worse.
Either way, I'm excited to see where this goes.

Is Graphite a puppet for the Gemdeus Bugster now?
You forgot Trakeena =/
But I meant how many times did the original human villains end up turning into a sentai villain somewhere in the show. Kinda like how the ninja girl in Operation Overdrive transformed into Boukenger's owl faction boss.
Who doesn't see that coming.

Yeah, I doubted Parado and Graphite would reclaim their status as the main antagonists

I still have to watch this, but Juspion actor retired a long time ago, so if they wanted to use the character, it probably would have to be a reboot/retelling. Still would love it, heh.
Yeah, either that or some kind of red herring. Chronos was supposed to defeat Genmdeus, right? So it could be just a step for something else.

So rumor about Build I saw recently was that he basically "builds" himself using parts---and like he's got a screwdriver and hobby knife on his helmet.
Wonder if his belt then is like some kind of Capsule Machine that *randomly gives him parts each fight to use?

Parad isn't the Perfect Puzzle or Knock Out Fighter Bugster. That's just a Gashat he uses. Deleting them would have as much effect as deleting Mighty Action X to stop Ex-Aid.

I have high hopes about their plans with the Metal Heroes and the Space theme heroes. I hope we get a crossover with Gokaigers and the Kyurangers.

Which is better, VR Troopers or Saban's Masked Rider?
If your answer is Masked Rider, then there is something clearly wrong with you.

VR Troopers.
Would love that. I'm excited about the prospect of Space Squad, Gavan v Deka was solid and gave me my DekaMaster fix for a few years. Where has DekaBright been this whole time? She's an official senshi and appeared in Deka proper but hasn't been seen since, anyone know anything about that?
I would love an evil team of senshi to fight the Kyu's led by Scorpio, at first it seemed like we may get a whole bunch of senshi this year but that's petered off since Kotaro joined. I want a whole bunch of senshi please.

Good answer! I can't forgive Saban for the existence of Ferbus.

Gavan vs Dekaranger
Dekaranger always gave me strong Metal Hero feelings, so this is a perfect fit. The narrator was at full force here. The whole plot setup was pretty fun. And, of course,
Overall, this was a much better movie than Girls in Trouble, and, as a Juspion and Dekaranger fan, the fanservice was almost perfect for me. The... big giant battle should've been a bit more climatic. It really needed Daileon and Juspion even if it was just in-suit. So yeah, that should have been Juspion vs Dekaranger, even if Gavan showed up. Retsu was pretty badass.
I like the new Mad Gallan actor, him going crazy was pretty fun to see. Poor Shelly. The action was good, and the whole soundtrack was pretty great, too.
Also, kinda ending spoiler

MOTHERFUCKING TOEI YOU FUCKERS,
YOU DID IT. REALLY. IF THAT BECOMES SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE, YOU GOT ME BY THE BALLS. JUSPION, JIRAYA, JIBAN, MOTHERFUCKING FLASHMAN, MEGARANGER AND GINGAMAN, PLUS OTHERS. MISSED CHANGEMAN THAT WAS KINDA SPACE BASED TOO, BUT EH, NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE MY HYPE GO DOWN.
I WILL FINALLY GET MY FLASHMAN SEQUEL I WANTED SO MUCH.

Rio looks so awesome, when he was sporting that coat.
It's so so so bad. So much reused stock footage, original footage is like watching Mad TV, and then there's the fact the footage used was so old.
That's one major thing about VR Troopers I don't get, why did Saban choose to adapt such old series? There was more contemporary ones like Exceedraft and Janperson. At least with Masked Rider, they had the excuse that there hasn't been a Kamen Rider show since Black RX.
And then for Season 2, they went back even farther for Shaider. What the fuck?!
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
also don't forget the "original" suits they had
it was like a fan film, the costumes was jokes, and the transation to toku footage was jarring. Not like it was 2 different shows, but 2 different shows on 2 different channels.
I wish i could talk to the editors that had to sitch that mess together.
Superhuman Samurai had the opposite problem, the Gridman footage looked ahead of it's time
Did a few years back after watching it while it aired, those kenpou feels. Has some of the best music too.

I assume Matthew Lawrence and Tim Curry are more successful than any other americans associated with Toku adaptions

Oh my god. "Let's samurize guys!" Isn't bad but "bump up the power" and everything else was terrible.

vr troopers is ASSSSSSS
id rather watch tj roberts order a pizza then watch that whack shit again. at least masked rider had the pr crossover

Masked Rider was so much worse than VR Troopers. At least, VR Troopers didn't have a reject from ALF as an annoying pet.
the only thing i saw from him was a movie where he was the new kid in town. it was pretty good for a cheap movie
no. it had a talking dog instead on top of the whack pr suits recolors

The plot for the next episode is so high-stakes and also bleak as hell. I love this show so much.
I mean, does anyone actually expect Hiiro to
not properly operate on Taiga?
doing his best but failing to save Taiga's life anyway.
Nah, I fully expect the latter at worst, but just being put in that situation is bleak as all hell. Like, dang man, Hiiro is in a pretty shitty situation.
Yeah, it was decent; but I'm pretty sure the art style for the entire movie is what killed it. It did not seem like the big budget Power Rangers adaptation everyone wanted, it seemed like a weird little thing that attract no one.
I mean, the only thing he cares about is at stake. He "corrupted" himself enough to even utilize Taddle Legacy. I am sure he is going to consider it even he does not do it.

-More Muteki. Unsurprisingly, I still love it (though admittedly the suit does look better in darker lighting conditions).
-I whine about Emu being a boring protagonist, but I do have to say the scene with him, Poppy, and Kiriya directly going to Masamune was pretty badass.
-Dang, that ending with

-The medical aspect of the show has felt pretty half-baked to me for the most part. The best example would be the cancer patient being sidelined by Mighty Bros XX's debut. However, this recent development of
makes for a nice push on the medical drama side of things.
-Dan is the god. Even when making promotions.

I saw Power Rangers recently, and I gotta say it was pretty good---but with the caveat that the human element was the best part, the Tokusatsu elements were pretty weak. No roll call, just standing around when morphing, the mecha combining hidden by lava. It bored me, but I guess with Sentai usually the robot scene is pretty boring outside the rare time they put a lot of effort into it like with Ryu Voyager's debut in Kyuranger.
Red and Pink were the weaker characters---I mean I liked them, but I really didn't get Red's issues (I'm gonna do this stupid prank and then drive crazily and wreck a ton of shit---BUT I'M REALLY A NICE GUY OK GEEZ DAD!) and Pink was a bit better but I thought her laughing as the part of the monster fall on those girls' car at the end was a bit tone deaf. That and all the times the Rangers talked about killing bothered me, especially when they went there when they first met Alpha. Black, Blue, and Yellow were a bit better, and Blue's portrayal of autism was pretty cool and something I haven't seen in a lot of films that made him a very interesting character.
But yeah, looking forward to the sequel. I'm guessing "Tommy" is gonna turn out to be a girl in this universe?

Yeah, that first Jason segment seemed out of place with the rest of his character. I know it had some reason, but they should have done something else.
Well, the post-credit scene calls him Tommy Oliver, so it's probably a guy that will receive Rita's powers somehow.

It's the same developers as the Disaster Report series. I'm glad they're finally making another one after they had to cancel the fourth game after the 2011 earthquake.
