I like stoics that can turn into burning if pushed hard enough. Naive ones make me want to burn down a forest.

Yeah this gives off a Kakuranger vibe which is a definite plus in my book. Hopefully the theme song for it will be the same vein as Kakuranger.
And those toy figures....they are power rangers buff which is unusual for Sentai merchandise.
Here's hoping the OP is good (like Kakuranger and Hurricanger before it).
Come back. dancing ED. My life has been devoid of joy ever since Kyoryuger's dancing ED has not been around.
Eh...
I'd say that ever since Double, Rider OPs have been good (with the exception of Wizard). Drive's had me going "meh" at first, but I'm warming up to it.
Sentai themes lately have been pretty same-y to me for some reason, the last really good OP being Goseiger (or maybe Kyoryuger for... reasons). Guess it's just more of a matter of personal taste.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I hate Takeru's asshole attitude that didn't make sense the more you put them together.
Hell, you know I like Hiromu, even if I think he's a weak character in GB, so that's another weird thing for me.
that was funny the first time i heard it. his english accent makes him lose that arrogance
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Lot of exposition in this week's Drive. I enjoyed the cliffhanger.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Over-Time has also released Drive Episode 0 as well.
So I'm watching the Super Samurai Chistmas special. I don't mind clip shows but wtf. The monster short circuited the zord? Isn't it powered by symbol power? Also, where the hell is Antonio? Why does this guy disappear so much??
Also, Mike's acting is at an all-time low this episode. It's like he just phoned it in, Seeing more of the cockpit was pretty cool I guess.
EDIT:
Whelp, done with that episode. It was actually pretty good. I liked seeing more of the Mega Mode suits and the cockpit. Could've used more fighting but it's nice to have those relaxing episodes every now and then.

Episode 0 reveals pretty much what we expected
Chase was Proto-Drive and was defeated by Heart

Why's it have to rhyme
Because there wasn't enough time to think of a better line.
Wow, the final unmorphed fight was used in the Super Samurai Halloween special.
EDIT:
Crap, double post. My bad.
EDIT 2:
Wait a minute. Lauren said the Shiba Fire disc could only be used once. Yet, Kevin used it for the blazing strike and Jayden used it to activate Shogun mode?

So I just watched Kakuranger 29 and let me get this straight...
Cool arc, but it's kinda funny how the scroll trials essentially get worse as they go on.
Sasuke's trial had him going with a themepark with PteraPink and climbing a mountain (that is, after she died) to get his scroll.
Tsuruhime's trial was going back to her mansion, chilling out, then watching her friends (or rather, dolls of her friends) die one-by-one to get her scroll.
Saizou and Seikai end up: getting confronted by Prince Jr, getting turned into Krappa yokai, end up fighting each other, and only live by having the Doro-doros taking pity on them.
Then finally Jiraiya: faces his old sensei (who raised and teached him), learns that said sensei killed his father, has a brutal out-of-suit fight with him (complete with blood spurting from their mouths), learns the real truth behind his sensei killing his father, and only then he gets the scroll.

Figures this was the case. Can't wait for the reveal in the show. Gonna be good stuff.
It's just Saizou and Seikai's trials that was terrible in the Shinobi Scroll arc, otherwise, great arc nonetheless. Also, I didn't know Tsuruhime was the leader of the group, considering she didn't act like she was until this arc.
I still consider Sasuke as the leader of the group, because he's smarter than all of them and he saves the day most of the time.

On my quest to watch every sentai, one month ago or so I started watching Zyuranger, Abaranger and Kyoryuger.
Yesterday I finished Zyuranger. It has some pretty good moments, but overall... it's a pretty boring sentai. It's like they took some of the few boring Jetman episodes and turned into a sentai. And Jetman even had some better "kid of the week" episodes than Zyuranger. A few great episodes made it worth watching, anyway. The evil Burai Arc and the last five or so episodes were my favorites.
Today I'll finish watching Kyoryuger, only two episodes left. Tomorrow, Abaranger.

If anyone in TokuGAF is in Kentucky, Reiko Chiba (Mei from Zyuranger) will be at Lexington Comic-Con with Yuuta Mochizuki
Interesting to see more Sentai actors attending American conventions.

They're allowed to use the word "fight" again?
uns:Probably using it as promotion for the Zyuranger release.
They haven't used the word fight in the Neo Saban world?

I just remember Ron Wasserman saying that after season 1 they weren't allowed to use the word "fight" in any of the songs. Particularly the song titled "Fight".
Which was 20 years ago.
Pretty sure this is no longer an issue.
Despite how childish the last four seasons have been.

Yeah it was 20 years ago but childrens television is even sissyer than it was back then. Remember they had to censor the Dragon Zord Battle mode drilling through that monster in the 2010 version?
I didn't watch the 2010 revision. Well, I tried to watch the first episode, but the new effects made me go "nope!"
Also, I think the reason is that Nickeloden is cable and MMPR 2010 aired on ABC , a network channel.

Shelby already sounds like she'll have at least a bit more depth to her than Amy did.
Don't worry. There's still plenty of time for her to get Gia'd
EDIT:
So I'm rewatching Megaforce now and I can't figure out what happened for Super Megaforce to get so bad. Megaforce is a relatively decent season. The early episodes are pretty good, characters (gia excluded) have personalities and they got a LOT smarter about the battle banter and puns. There was a writer change, right?
That's what I heard. Something along the lines of Tzachor firing everyone and bringing back the Samurai writers.
Explains so much.
Also, I just noticed that Dino Charge Red's character (who I thought was named Tyler but apparently he's Lucas now) is exactly like Daigo. Adventurous and missing father. Hopefully we get the Black and Green profiles soon.
I don't mind Koda being a caveman.
Wut, Jiraiya's trial saves the arc. Dat roundhouse kick.
3 KICK!!!!!

Those two episodes... man just as good as the Dairanger episodes where Jin shows up.

Finished Kyoryuger yesterday. The whole series was great, but those last episodes... I didn't expect them to be sooo good. Great series overall. I just wish Daigo didn't steal the spotlight that much, after the first half of the series, in the end I was kinda tired of him. Liked all the characters too, hope we get more members like the Spirit Rangers in the future.
Today, I'll watch 100 years after and the last two Abarangers episodes.

Sasuke is maybe one or two pegs above Saizou and Seikai when it comes to smarts, and even that goes out the window when there's a gag to set up.
Tsuruhime's been calling the shots since the start; it just rarely feels like it because everyone operates on auto-pilot for the first 10 episodes or so.
Probably the worst place to drop a 'p' that I've seen this week.
That's one of those local heroes, right? I think someone else posted a different episode of that show here before. It's silly, fun stuff.
Blacks Bio: Chase was destined to slide by on his charm and good looks. But given the opportunity to be a Power Ranger, her learns the value of pride and teamwork.

Greens Bio: Small in size, but big on brains, Quinn is quiet, confident, and disciplined. He is equally dangerous with a sword or puzzle game.
https://twitter.com/BigMike8109/status/544902171796324353
I like the names. I wonder if they'll adapt Ian's womanizing bits or just throw em out in favor of something else.

Jeff Pruit provides more uncut Zyu2 footage
The Zyu2 footage starts at 5:25, first few minutes is Dairanger footage, shown to demonstrate how the footage process worked.

Great for these things to be out in the open. No wonder the footage always looked terrible, they were sent using VHS tapes.

I thought the same thing but those are obviously not the exact things they used otherwise when their aired they'd have the numbers all over them.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
I think I should clarify. I didn't mean to say that the arc sucked. But rather, it's funny the trials all of the Kakurangers went through got way more intense with each progressive one. You'd think Sasuke and Tsuruhime would get the tougher trials, but Saizou/Seikai and Jiraiya ended up getting them (though I understand the importance of Tsuruhime's).
That Jiraiya two-parter was amazing (especially adding the fact that his sensei is actually played by his real-life father who's a leading actor in some martial arts movies.)
The scroll arc was pretty good (even though it made a few concessions that avoided the whole "we all gotta split up" thing). Really would like to see if a modern Sentai could pull this type of arc off nowadays.
I imagine the numbers are from the VHS player they are capturing from as opposed from the tape itself.
