Plan stays. Sticking to Blade and Faiz. I'll choose between Fourze and Gaim when the time comes after that...well...that or Ryuki.

If you want a show like Den-O, I wouldn't choose Blade or Faiz then...Blade is pretty bad when it comes to character development till really late in the show and besides one 2-parter it's pretty "serious", there's not a lot of light-hearted moments as the characters are always fighting.
Faiz has a lot more cute and funny character building moments despite being darker than Blade, but also gets a bit, well, drama-city by the end.

Its weird how Yayoi keeps appearing and disappearing every other scene in Kyoryuger.
The commute from the new Plezoun base must be great.

Im not watching Blade and Faiz looking for a Den-O. I'm just already invested in them and they are both pretty badass. I'm about to finish up Blade and I generally can handle 2 shows at a time now so I thought I'd look for a second show to backup Faiz and I would make an exception for another show like Den-O. If Gaim isn't that then I'll just hold off like I planned to and just go watch something else alongside of Faiz after I finish off Blade.
Just finished Dairanger.
I enjoyed it a lot more than Zyuranger, the characters felt more memorable and fleshed out, and I liked the emphasis on martial arts. Plus, Kaku was a badass.
I didn't get the ending though. I mean, I got the part about "good and evil being an endless battle", but out of nowhere it's revealed Shadam was a puppet too. So what happened here?
Now onto something else. Is Kakuranger fully subbed yet?

Almost. Did you do Jetman?
I'll check that instead. I've heard good things.

I watched the first 4 eps of Kakuranger then never came back to it. Should do that some day.
Also OT put out Hurricanger 10 years after if anyone's interested. I'm kind of not since I haven't seen Hurricanger yet.
I was joking when I said TV-N probably leaves in the "gozaru" for whenever Utsusemimaru speaks but holy fuck they actually do

I wouldn't say berate, just questioning their practices. Plus people still remember the Kingranger days.

She's like some of the early 6th rangers, like Kibaranger, who could be completely absent one episode just to appear hanging around in the next one.
http://onoretvn.tumblr.com/ gives good reasons. I like to check it sometimes to see what they put up.
A lot of the things TV-N are pretty minor in the grand scheme of things, like mistranslating a line because they simply did it by ear and didn't bother to check the captions, not adapting jokes and instead just explaining them to you at the top of the screen, and simply leaving things untranslated, expecting the viewer to understand Japanese, and of course other stuff like poor video quality and distracting subtitle effects (which I personally like but I know why many don't). All those problems add-up, and you end up watching a show with a very poor understanding of what is happening on-screen compared to better subs out there.
For me personally, seeing MFC's subs for Kamen Rider Decade made me understand and enjoy the show a lot more than with TV-N's subs; since the characters actually spoke in normal sentences instead of broken-up English (a common trait among TV-N subs).
Why has this blog been all my life?
I don't know about others, but to me TV-N offers weaker translations which made me misunderstood a scene, leaving Japanese words for no reason (I'm very tolerant on this, but the "Can I call you nii-san?" line in Kiva is where I drew the line), effects that sometime takes focus from what is actually happening in the film, at the cost of a late(r) translation compared to the alternatives to boot.
Mind you, I don't actively hate it. I still watch their Gouraigan. But there is no reason for me to choose them when there are alternatives.
From what I've seen of TV-Nihon's subs, it has a lot of the same problems that plague other shitty fansubbers.
Literal translations, not bothering to translate Japanese, putting up explanations for jokes or attack names rather than attempting to translate them, those GOD DAMN EFFECTS!
It's the same shit Kaizoku-Fansubs pulled with One Piece for years (but that's an entirely different story).
This really could be avoided if Toei and Saban worked out some sort of Hulu deal to show Super Sentai to Western audiences.

"Leave it to a bow tie!"
You're probably gonna keep doing that until the half-way point. Trust me when I say that Kakuranger really picks up around that point, and the tone of the series begins shifting.
It just takes a long ass time before you'll see anything for the plot.
ALSO, if you wanted to watch 1080p W, these guys got you covered:
http://live.ozc-anime.com/
They are ripping the Blu-Ray box AND using O-T's scripts.
Nice... This is good news for me.
Meanwhile, Zyuranger has been... unimpressive through 4 episodes. A bit too cliche and not enough variety in its plots.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Perfect. Been wanting to watch W again since hearing about the BR
It's a problem when you understand it less with their subs, and even worse, the little of what you end up understanding is incorrect because their translation was incorrect.
It's such a big problem because TV-N subs are BY FAR the most widely distributed ones out there. If you go to watch Toku on streaming sites (like the vast majority of people), you will only find TV-N subs. Not everyone wants to download special codecs and programs to play .mkv's. It's a big bother.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
You understand far less with their subs.
No problem, I simply made a choice. They are still inferior in many places and have their subs later to boot.

James Rolfe's hosting another month of Monster Madness - this time it's another Sequel-A-Thon - and one of the series he covers this year is the Gamera series. He went into detail for most of the movies, although he only gave a brief overview for the '90s trilogy and Gamera The Brave because covering those individually would have taken up too many days of the month. Even so, I think the reviews are still a decent summary for the series.
Here's a search link if you want to filter out the other reviews he's already uploaded and will upload in the future.

MEGA spoilers:
Megaforce's final morph
Alien invasion and cliffhanger into Super Megaforce
And for fans of Troy
Meanwhile, on Nick, we are getting the Halloween episode today. Most likely a clip show.

People get offended very easily.
Megaforce Halloween
Only half of it was a clip show, so that's an improvement.
Remember when Saban actually tried to hide the show was in Japan? I'm not referring to the cards again, but the Japanese signs all over the walls. Hell, one scene clearly showed Japanese citizens and cars that drove on the other side.
I'm not sure what you mean by "Cuban Bed", but they weren't going to even touch the idea of fallen angels.

you know.. they don't really do shit with the whole army thing in gokaiger lol. I don't recall many all out war fights outside of the beginning.
Yeah, it was certainly a budget thing. All the great exploits of the Zangyack outside the Legend War all happened either off-screen and/or before the show started.

There was also a battle against the entire armada in the final two or three episodes. Almost no ground troops though(not more than a standard monster of the week attack anyway), just the ships.
The whole angel theme was cut from Megaforce. But, yeah, they didn't evil replace it with evil Power Ranger or anything. Vrak/Brajira is just Warz Gill/Vekar's brother in Mega Force.
When you flub something and just keep going. And they could have made whats his name a evil ranger that played everyone.

The new Gaim episode was pretty dang good, I really loved the scene where Baron and Gaim had a whole crowd watching while they henshined. Looks like we get Zangetsu vs Gaim and Ryugen's debut next episode.
Somebody pointed out that Gaim is pretty much Spiderman. Fucking around with his powers until he learns responsibility.

Oh yeah, I'm actually really happy that he's continued to fart around with his powers without abandon because when shit really goes down in a few episodes, it's gonna hit him that much harder.
Loved Gaim's third episode. For those who are better in Japanese, I'd like to ask a question...when Kouta shoved money to her sister's face and she rejected it, did she say something like "If you got money this way, only Team Gaim will be happy? I hope so because I liked that scene. Showed that Kouta, despite being a good man, can be still very immature when it comes to certain things.
One weakness I found is, without reading the premise and interviews, we have no idea why dance teams are serious business. And why is a person like Kaito joined a dance team to boot.

Unrelated, but this commercial played during the Gaim broadcast and I thought it was worth sharing:

I can't wait to finally see who Guridon is...
All the interviews keep mentioning how his character is "appealing to adults" and how he's a "lovely character".
I'm pretty sure it's gonna end up being "Goro-chan" finally getting to play his own Rider.

I think he will be an old man jokester type like Nossan.

Actually, seems people are thinking it's the "ladies man" dude from the newest episode, as he got spotlight in the character book. The leader of Team Invitto, Hideyasu Jonouchi.
And then the leader of Team Raid Wild is apparently "Kurokage" people are thinking.
Real talk, I love the way the Baron dude says "Raid Wild". He said it like he was born with hate in his soul for the team. My money is on Mai being the Peach rider. I think there should be two riders per team.
Yeah, I noticed that too.
That...didn't appeal to me at all lol. When people say "appealing to adults" I'm thinking of Hibiki, Date, and Nossan. We know nothing about the guy now though.
