mashin sentai

"Hmm, what if we ditched that 'versus' concept and just did Lupinranger properly..." This week: Mabushina's mum awakens from the crown she was somehow stored in, leading to a variation of the classic "parent shows up and causes havoc" stock episode that Sentai hasn't done in a looong time...

Which effect do you want in the action scene? All of them! This week: GO OVER TIME AND SPACE!!! Yes, the Lupinrangers only ever tried to recover property but Kirameiger actually goes for straight up theivery, half the team are trying to delay Mabusheena's family while the other half are being...

Well that's probably not good... This week: the first of a two-part story (unusual for mid-season Sentai?). The rangers are teaching the kids Mabusheena about sharks (foreshadowing?) when the much-hyped curse kicks in, time for backstory, a time traveling fisherman MotW, the crew obtain the...

Kiramei Silver, standing against evil This week: the girl who was teasing Juuru in episode zero is back again, yet another 'pen-pineapple-apple-pen' reference, the team's secret identities are revealed, Juuru admires sneaky power lol, nothing can stand against the giant hammer made of scrap...

Somehow this is more sensible than their usual pose?! This episode: it's the comedy body-swap episode. It feels like it's been a while since Sentai did one of these? While the others struggle against the MotW, Fire goes to teach Juuru's art class and reminds him of the importance of encouraging...

This one-shot villainous form that just puts stickers on the visor is totally going to end up being it's own figure, isn't it? Last week: I was ill and didn't make this! Anyway, it turns out the king is cursed, Takamichi's internal monstone can take him over with a bit of help from his uncle...

They must really love that meme:- This is the second episode in a row that they've referenced this! This week: With the help of Tametomo, Takamichi enters a mysterious mansion to play lots of whack-a-mole and try to finally obtain his treasure...and it has something to do with an ominous curse...

UH! Pen-Pineapple-Apple_Pen! This week: "30 years of misunderstanding, and the unrequited feelings behind them..." and to the surprise of no-one, this was indeed written by someone called Inoue. Not the infamous Toshiki Inoue but the unrelated (as far as I can tell) Tete Inoue. I guess it just...

BUY NOW! This week: I'm pretty sure Shiguru got within six feet of that actress without wearing a mask, I thought only twins were telepathic, Crunchula somehow still doesn't have his own cereal but at least the actor doesn't have to spend all of filming with wet feet, it's down the the random...

I won't lie, I'm a little disappointed that Silver didn't pick Red up and twirl him around. This week: Juuru attempts to properly recruit Takamichi onto the team, a process that requires the destruction of a bath house, a kiramai stone garbage truck, and a variation of the old Sentai ball...

Arrange your actors to maintain social distancing without making it too obvious This week: A monster that attacks while keeping (much) more than 2 meters away from you, backstory explaining how the new ranger is simultaneously the brother of two existing characters which are not themselves...

Kiramei Silver: Still hasn't quite got the hang of being a little teapot. This week: Someone at Bandai thought "How can we one-up Thor's Hammer? I know! A pneumatic drill that can be summoned to your hand!" Yes, the alien treasure hunter appears and immediately gets to first base...which might...

The shooting position of someone being serious and not showing off at all. WE'RE BACK! And as the hiatus comes to end we get...a filler episode. Brilliant. Anyway it's groundhog day. Brilliant. Anyway it's groundhog day. Brilliant...

Just you see, this will get shipped for years to come! The other week: The villains exploit the Blue ranger's obsessive fan and manage to take out three of the five rangers, the fan and the MotW spend most of the episode giving each other piggy back rides, Blue manages to figure out some...

Is this graphic overlay re-used from Ninninger? This week: Sena meets an old friend and we learn about her hitherto unmentioned former passion for the card game Karuta...just in time for a MotW themed after the very same game! Reconciliations occur, Sena uses her speed to beat the MotW at his...

Mechs with sunglasses are just cooler Well I totally thought that I'd already posted this. Whoops! Er, last week: Juru's dreaming of dead kings, shout out to the security guards played by two reoccuring stunt actors, in case you weren't convinced this show was drawing from ToQger here's a train...

It's at this point that I started wondering why there's never been a cross-promotion between a toku show and Monster energy drink? This week: Remember how Riku Sanjou (the head writer of W, Kyoryuger, and Drive) was also a secondary writer on Fourze and all of his episodes had the main cast...

The #1 way cause of amnesia in tokusatsu! This week: Being hit by a train isn't enough so let's smash our character's head against a rock too, I suppose remembering the first five years is different to complete memory loss, being transported to another dimension is classic Sentai, and a guest...

New show! Tometomo Sentai Tamelovers! Starts next Sunday at 9.30AM! This week: Construction vehicles unite to overthrow the crimson elite! No longer will we stand to see annoying reds being handed leadership while more talented yellows stand by in junior positions! Or perhaps not, though the...

I see Sakamoto still loves his Kalish-splosions This week: Mabusheena's uncle Garza returns with a dino-train, Mabusheena wants her dad to be alive so much she loses most of her brain cells, Juuru shows up to stop Garza and reveals that he saw their planet's invasion in a dream, and a three-way...
