What's the point of P Garo, then? I rewatched Makai Flower before seeing the movie. There's nothing romantic that goes on between Raiga and Mayuri; Raiga is just open and friendly with her, where most others aren't due to her nature. At least with Kouga and Kaoru it was more obvious that they'd...

I just finished The Moonbow Traveler. Some brief thoughts: - While the movie is good, I'm starting to think the series is purposely keeping Kouga and Kaoru in a state of perpetual limbo to avoid just killing them off, as that would upset too many people. - The P Garo side story shows Kouga has...

Huh? HououRanger is from Dairanger.

I don't think it works that way, according to a mix-and-match game Toei has on its website where you can create your own forms for the Riders. On the right-hand side of the belt (assuming you are the wearer) goes the "Godbeast" books only. That's Saber. The center slot (Blades) is for Animals...

Considering how many times they conduct stakeouts, undercover investiations, and other such police work throughout the show, that's a bit hard to believe. Sure, Dekaranger or Patranger have the full police theme all over them, but they're in their full element operating with complete...

When you just take the costume on its own, or judge based on Gluto in Time Force, it can seem that way. But the voice acting for Dolnero sells the character well, plus he does have a human disguise anyway. As for his method of flight, I wonder if, given his marine animal motif, he just has a...

The one thing I might say Time Force did better than Timeranger was the origin of the villains. Mutants who came together to form a criminal/terrorist group (a la Jiban) is more plausible than a mafia where everyone just happens to be an alien. No human ever joined Dolnero's family? (On the...

If "last time" means "This is Sentai's last time", I'd be ok with that.

This started with Ohranger, when Toei decided to retool the whole show into a schizophrenic mess after Aum Shinrikyo did their sarin gas attack in Tokyo. People are getting too upset and want to "feel better" (or at least want the kids to feel better) so the shows can't go in directions they...

I remember that article now. I even commented on it, apparently.

I don't. Though how much of that was true and not just an exaggeration/different countries defining porn in different ways? Apparently, Asami Kuru (who played Lila in Timeranger) said in an interview that Lila's outfit was specifically designed to be less revealing than the previous...

Zero-One had a lot of the "wacky anime hijinks" that Rider has had ever since Den-O. Comparatively, aside from that stupid dance and Drag Queen Tassel, Saber was pretty lowkey and tolerable... so far. And Mei is not Touma's girlfriend (at least for now). She's his publisher.

COVID has nothing to do with it. The people working on 90s Metal Heroes have been going at a snails pace for years. Even WeabooShogun has stopped being reliable, willing to drop Exceedraft for other projects when he could've been done with that show two years ago.

Most cynics begin as idealists. Both hold to their ideology and hatred of the "opposition", but the cynic is willing to exploit the cause for his/her own comfort, even if the promised future does not come.

Because the diversity police would cry racism otherwise. It got kinda ridiculous by the time they tried to pass off the Thunder Rangers in Ninja Storm as brothers as Hurricanger had done, while still abiding by that checklist by making them adopted.
