Yay, you're watching~!
And yes, the character of Cane is very different, and much more of a character people end up liking right off the bat. The series is probably the best of the three Star God shows and really handled its cancellation quite well. It's got some really fun humor, the one with Takuto and Blaird stuck in a trash compactor is absolutely hilarious.
(I also got the feeling that Blaird seemed to be Momotaros before Den-O aired, and probably better done at that)
And I don't care what anyone else says, those suits are damn sexy, some of my favorite tokusatsu suits in general.
How far are you into the series?
Now we just need Toei to hire Takuto's actor in something and all three boys will be in their toku. (Gaku Shindo/Ad, is voicing one of the generals in Gokaiger, so that makes me think he's going to get a human form since he's mostly a drama actor)
