Go-onger...... God, This is Killing Me.

[Dami-chan]

Other than Gunpei, and he's not *that* bad - I'm enjoying it. I smirk at the humor and enjoy the characters just fine. I couldnt stand the first episode and intentionally stayed away from the series for months, but forced myself to give it a second chance. *shrug*

And the Go-On wings rock, just another highlight. Having Tokuyama back is just awesome, I'm swooning like a little school girl.

But I guess you can't please all the people all of the time. :sweat:

Now, if you'll excuse me - I have a Go-On gold jacket to figure out how to order.

Yeah I dunno, I don't really care for Go-Onger too much. KickHopper coming on as the 6th ranger definitely has made me more interested, but I still can't say I'm that crazy about the show. Also I feel like Tokuyama's whole "low key" thing just doesn't fit well with a sentai character. All his henshin/attack voice commands are said so quietly, it worked well for kickhopper, but not go-on gold I don't think.

Where did you get those Top Gunder pictures?

They're screencaps I made with VLC Media Player.

 

[Black Fang]

ah. I was hoping there was a Metalder site out there with useful pictures of things.

What's with the Gunpei hate? Gunpei's my favorite of the bunch. :laugh: I think he's made quite an improvement since the first couple of episodes. Kenji Ebisawa's said he had trouble playing the tough, cruel guy, and I think the writers recognized that and began to suit Gunpei more to Ebisawa's ability. That is, it's shown that Gunpei is not as cool and serious as he thinks he is.

While it would have helped to simply hire an actor who could have played the part as is (duh), at least they tailored the character to fit the actor, rather than force it onto him when he wasn't equipped to play the part. Gunpei could have easily become as bad as Masumi/Bouken Black, a character who was never believable, never as "cool" or "tough" as he was intended, and just came off as completely ridiculous.

I feel like Tokuyama's whole "low key" thing just doesn't fit well with a sentai character.

Not the way Tokuyama's doing it, no. I think Koutarou Tanaka did this schtick better as Nakadai/Abare Killer.

 

[KamenGrappler]

yes! that's exactly what I mean!

Thank you Shougo:thumbs:

Keith, how much of Go-Onger have you seen anyway?

Two and a half unbarable episodes today.

I think I've seen some of the first... and a couple today which just disgusted me.

I even skipped ahead to when they add the two extra Rangers. And the addition of Rangers is usually a great event. But this is much like Abaranger for me.... I just can't handle it.

 

[KingRanger]

That's what I did. I gave it till they added new Rangers, but in this case, it was horrid. Gold can't act for ****, silver has looks and nothing else. Their henshin devices are a joke. I am huge sentai fanboy, anyone that knows me knows this, but Go-onger is awful. I am hoping next year we have a better sentai. As it stands now I am just rewatching older shows, and catching up on stuff I didn't finish. It's a good thing Tomica rocks, and Kiva is just killer. Dogga form for the win.

 

[Aoi Kurenai]

Well, if you want some episodes that were actually good, 8-9, 12, 15-16 were all my favorites, though 15 and 16 are kinda lead ins to the new rangers, and if you didn't like them, it probably won't do much, but it does introduce a really interesting and serious villain that the series really needed.

You can always go back and watch Ultraman Mebius dammit! some other toku shows in place of Go-Onger if you're not liking it enough to follow. I'll probably end up dropping the series myself unless something amazingly good happens in the next three episodes or so.

 

[Midori Ken]

I don't get why everyone is like Serious=Good, why does something have to be "Serious" to be great. I think the Go-Onger are written as being very serious about fighting the enemy and doing their jobs..

Its not that serious = good. Go-onger is enjoyable, it just lacks the sense of urgency that compels us to want to see what happens next.

I watched each episode of Gekiranger not more than an hour after I downloaded it. With Go-onger, I usually wait until I need to wait 20 minutes cooking a frozen pizza or something.

Really though, I think Gekiranger just spoiled most of us rotten.
