Anybody Like, Love or Dislike Chou Sei Shin Gransazer?

[Forever Knight]

Watched episodes 1 to 4 and so far I'm diggin' it.

Gransazer is fucking awesome. The music was the first thing to catch my eye. It's a Gottenberg style Melodic Metal. But ya, other than that the series is great. There are 2 arcs, then filler, then final arc. Definatley watch and then go onto Justiriser and Sazer-X.

As for the one with the big "gonzangaz". She is fucking incredible. I'll never get over her face kick to Tarious and then a year later to Glen. I love her. She was even cute in Guyferd. Excellent martial artist. But the pure sexiness goes to another hottie that comes in the series later.

Also, this was the series to get me to break "free" from the Sentai/Rider only viewing.

My bad. I guess what I mean is I don't get what made him so "badass". =P

But like Takumi, I thought that the music used and the fighting scenes were awesome.
I'd have preferred it ended with an all out war inspace against the Belzeus controlled Uofumanafu fleet.

Logia is fucking cool.

He has one quote which I love, yet I cannot remember since it's been years since watching the show. If I remember it I'll post it.

Don't **** with Impactor Logia.

DaiLogia = the **** too.

I enjoyed Gransazer very much! I think Toho created a much cooler version of the Super Sentai Series (with Saint Seiya mixed in) than any of Toei's more recent offerings. The hero designs by Toho/Godzilla veteran Shinji Nishikawa (who also did the manga adaptation!) were impressive, as were the transformations! The giant robots, designed by Fuyuki Shinada, are just as impressive.

SPFX director Kouichi Kawakita has come a long way from his mixed work on the VS Godzilla Series (on which the Millennium Series improved upon). He's really improved himself in Gransazer! The giant robot and mecha work (mecha is Kawakita's trademark), as well as the miniature effects, are quite breathtaking. Kawakita has really outdone himself. He's getting better and better.

And the acting . . . Let's just say, these "pretty boy/pretty girl" actors are no wimps! I was very impressed by the actors/actresses used for this show.

It's a shame that this series is being Power Rangerized, er, "localized" for Zodiak Guardians, because this is one of the better Japanese superhero shows worthy of being seen in the US as is. Gransazer is a solid winner!

Logia = teh Hotness...nuff said.

The fights and sequences: Amazing and blazing quick.

Characters: not too bad as far as development goes.

Music: KICKASS LOVE the OST.

Story: not bad. It's plausible and it really didn't have that many fillers or inconguencies.

Episode 9-10: Teh Absolute Most Mature Dramatic Two Eps I've seen yet in Toku-dom. Bar NONE.

I might be mistaken on the eps # but it was the Akelon Arc.

 

[Saejima Kouga]

It's where they all find out that Karin is an Akelon, and Akira kills her to stop her from killing Tenma/Sazer Tarious

 

[ForeverRed]

Gransazer > Justiriser and Sazer X.

Really? Karin's death was that early on? :O

But I gotcha. Dramatic indeed.
