1, 2, 3, 4, 5! FIVEMAN!! - Thoughts and Opinions

No joke. I mean, the whole series seemed to use the number five as a common motif:

- The song begins with "1-2-3-4-5, Fiveman!".
- Each member is codenamed "Five [color]".

So why only three vehicles to form the Five Robo (four for Super Five Robo)?
Because they are called Fiveman. Period.
 
I am almost done with Fiveman and i must say, the series is great ... There were alot of good episodes, lots of WTF Moment and so much more ....

I am just glad that Green Flash ... err, i mean, Chevalier, showed up midway through the series and he definitely make things more interesting IMO

Anyway, if i am not wrong, Yellow Flash was the guest star for episode 35, right ? ... she looks familiar even without the Flashman outfit on


So as i was reading the Japanese wiki for FivePink (Kazuko Miyata), it states that the actress's husband is actually FiveRed (Toshiya Fuji) ... and i was like "WTF ?!" ... but seriously Fiveman really, really brought the whole cast together to a point the Twins decided to get married LOL XD
 
Just finished the series.

First of all, this series doesn't deserve to be looked down upon the way it has. Everything about it is great. The only downside is that it had somewhat of a comedic stretch, but personally I think the good completely out weighed it.

The were amazing, the suits, weapons and mecha were sick.

Some great notable things are how it is obviously our first 90's Sentai series. Our first family team, and what is just beyond awesome, it is our first and last time we got two separate changers for each gender. (I knew this long ago, but the impact wasn't as great since I didn't watch it) The 'V Changer' for the males and 'V Changer Compacts' for the females. The compact being the first necklace changer as well. These both are extremely well designed. I'm actually bidding on both as we speak, hopefully I win.

This show is great because it has a mix of the 80's and starts a trend for the 90's, as far as music, mecha, clothes, etc. Speaking of clothes, I realized at ep.7 that Remy and Fumiya wear the same clothes. lol

This cast is surprisingly a memorable one. Only thing is Kazumi looks and acts like a mom..this is somewhat expected for the older sister, but at the same time she is like the epitome of Pink senshi cliches. So that's a bit annoying.

Green Flash....wow. What a great villain performance, I was very surprised.

Billion had a great color scheme, and I liked his sword.

Doldora delivered a great last performance, very nice.

Gingaman....:laugh: That is awesome. I wish I saw the cast faces, if/when they heard about the next Sentai series in 1998.

I hated the puppets after their first 2 appearances also, but thank goodness Toei pulled the plug on them before I snapped.

This is overall a very solid series, and can fight with the best of them. I say it's up there with Flash and Change etc..shoot I think I can say it's better then Maskman.

So maybe top 5, definitely a top 10 though. I enjoyed this a lot.

I won the auctions. Woot woot!

Who would of thought, my first old school changer (s) would be from Fiveman...out of all series. That's crazy.

I very much agree. Like I said before.. Fiveman>Jetman

How much did you get it? I myself want to own one...

:hmm:, that's a bold statement. I don't know if it owns Jet in every aspect, but I fully respect that opinion.

I got both the V changer and V changer Compact for $87.53..so let's say $90.00.

That's a great freakin deal for two changers as old as they are. I don't know if it says, but it looks like the compact wasn't even opened.

V changer was opened, but doesn't seemed to be used.

I never really looked too much into Fiveman. It's kinda sandwiched between all these series' that I'm interested in so I guess I tend to overlook it. From reading this thread though I definitely want to check it out sometime. Now if HJU could only change my mind about Magiranger...

Edit: So is Fiveman as goofy as Zyuranger sounds? Because it's sounding like it switches from badass to comedy every so often.
 
Yes, please do. There are too many non-believers of the power of V

Nah nah, it just had 5 or so episode tone switch, but just watch you'll see. lol

It's not as bad as you think.
