You forgot the gimmick, brah.
There are different color paints they can load into their morphers that confer different powers. Red's mech is actually the base mech they all pilot, but gets different armaments based on other individual colors. Sixth gets a bo staff he can change into a spear, escrima sticks, or a gun based on which USB sticks he loads into it. His mech changes likewise.
Lots of merch possibility there!
It would be bijutsu sentai rainbowja-

Today's ToQ wasn't bad.
Also there's a rip of the Sharivan Next Generation movie. Holy shit, it's pretty good. Dare I say it - it looks better than the Gavan movie. Oh and it has lots of blood.
Oh and Sakamoto handled the effects and choreography. Neat.

It seems like they'll be giving a Drive episode 0 extra dvd for people who watch the movie?

Hi Tokugaf!
I'm getting back into tokusatsu after... what, 20 years? I loved Flashman, Changeman, Juspion, Spielban and Kamen Rider Black when I was a kid. I did watch a few Goggle Five, Maskman, Lionmaru and Machineman episodes back then, too.
Watched Gokaiger earlier this year and now I'm watching Toqger, Jetman and Shinkenger. I'll probably start watching Drive, too, this weekend.
As you can see, I'm more of a sentai fan, but I plan to watch a Kamen Rider series after I finish Shinkenger and Jetman.
Nice to meet you all!

I just saw this elsewhere, a much more spoiler heavy summary of the Drive/Gaim movie.
http://www.animate.tv/news/details.php?id=1413984852&p=2&n=7
It reveals the real enemy and also seems to spoil an (expected, considering Movie Wars tradition now) surprise.
Edit: I couldn't find a source for the titles of the first two parts, but the summaries seem to be right otherwise.

See, this is what I'm talking about. The world was not ready.
I am guessing you are a fellow but older brazilian?
Maybe Toei shouldn't wait to do an experimental series directly after an anniversary season?
Boukenger -> Gekiranger
Gokaiger -> Go-Busters
I like everything about it except for the bits that tell you what it is.
Oh well... I'll buy it if it means I can own Jetman in my future.

Boukenger itself was pretty experimental though, with the multiple villain faction and the whole "collect treasures around the world" goal rather than just facing villains. In fact, I think that run from Deka to Geki was filled with shows that were experimental in one way or another. It seems like Geki's failure kind of killed that though.
Gekiranger had to compete with Den-O in sales, it wasn't going to make it. It was Geki's hammering by Den-O and Go-Onger's stomping of Kiva that finally made Toei change the schedules around so that Sentai and Rider premiered at different times of the year instead of both at the same time.
Go-Busters's failure can probably be attributed just to not there being enough stuff to buy, the show had no collectible gimmick, and the theme itself (spies) was hardly capturing of kid's imaginations. Kids didn't watch the show either, which hurt it.
I like it, even the emphasis on "Before Power Rangers...", it's a good way to introduce it. That photo-shopping around Mammoth Ranger's head is pitiful though.

Yep, guessed right! I was pretty fanatic when I was younger, rented VHS tapes every week and everything. Late 80s and Early 90s were a really magical time for tokusatsu here.
(I'm not thaaat old, I'm 28
)It sounds like Dino Charge's Gray Ranger has been renamed the Graphite Ranger
I'm okay with that name.
I'm okay with that name.
Gray isn't silver though =P

I just got done watching the raw for Sharivan - Next Generation. Wasn't too too bad, I liked it way better than say, Hurricanger 10 Years After. Looking forward to Shaider.

Sakamoto really helped with the action. Also all that blood with no gore. It's like I'm watching my animes!
That... actually works pretty well, given the probable existence of a Silver ranger (Because who knows how they'll adapt all the rangers).

Lots and lots of fake blood. I was almost expecting one of those spurt from the mouth "blood fountains" like in Dairanger and Kakuranger.
Random confession time! I'm 28, first liked toku in KR Black and Power Rangers, then go through a "japanese spandex heroes are for kids" phase in late elementary/early middle school, then blown away by Kuuga and PR In Space. So my "defining" tokusatsu would be the early Heisei KR era.
Yes, the ones with misunderstandings.

So, The Flash is pretty cool. Next episode seems to be great.
Haha, it's just that if you caught Google V and Flashman then you probably are slightly older.

I just read about how Adness Entertainment put their own money into producing KR Dragon Knight without shopping around to TV channels. Good lord, did they not know one of the important rules of film/TV production? NEVER put your own money into the show!
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Most of those shows are ultimately a big mess and seem to lack any planning, yet at the same time they've got this charm. Kiva is the last shown that really captures that feeling, and even though it sucks, I have a soft-spot for it.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
I love how they clearly flew Mitsuru Matsuoka out to America for some of those Surprise Drive PV scenes. Especially that one scene where he's just in some dude's garage. Like, that's clearly not a set. :lol

Oh, yes, I got two great times for tokusatsu here, the Juspion/Flash/Change/... time, and the early Power Rangers time.
Iirc, Google V and Maskman got translated a bit after Change and Flash.
Flashman is still my favorite, followed by Gokaiger, btw. From what I'm watching, Jetman probably will be on that top three, too.
Jetman is my favorite, followed by Timeranger. Gekiranger, Shinkenger, and Gokaiger are up there too.
The whole show in general was pretty much an amateur production, from writing to cinematography to pretty much everything. It was essentially a fan film that 4kids happened to air on TV.

That explains a lot. I watched the first episode and it felt "off".
Super Megaforce 16
I actually have a positive this episode. I liked a good chunk of Vrak's dialogue (when he wasn't dropping puns). He does act like a decent villain.
Wasn't a fan of the white Unicorn monster making it obvious that he wanted to die. "Kids won't get it" was probably the reasoning.
"These Zords still rock" THEN WHY HAVEN'T YOU BEEN USING THEM?! Seriously, the Gosei Zords just show up with no explanation of why they haven't been used. Again, I'm expecting explanations from this season...
So... how does draining Orion's life force give Vrak the ability to mirror the Megaforce abilities? It's not like Orion has those powers, all he has is Gokai Silver.
And apparently "sixth ranger energy" is a thing since that's what forced Robo Knight to turn evil.
Speaking of, hi Robo Knight. Any word on how Vrak kidnapped you?
Also, I get the feeling his name was meant to be pronounced Vrack not Vrawk. Hence the title "Vrak is Back"

I would tell you to find the original pilot/movie which seemed better than the 1st episode did but it seems to not exist in any form anywhere anymore.

OT sure is fast with Drive
Hmm, Kamen Rider V3 has an official release huh?
*checks price* $150?! Fucking hell...
There was a pilot? Wonder why they didn't shop that around...
Actually the latest (in America) was 16 not 18. At least it's almost over (with no specials).

Drive is clicking for me pretty early. Hopefully it keeps going like this. Don't really like the shift cars having emotions and stuff though.
