Finally got around to seeing the first episode. It was odd. Not much fighting going on, mostly just introducing us to the girls (what are their names again?). The one thing I really dislike is that (what are the guy's names?) the younger guy, one with the glasses, can more or less pinpoint their character type and that makes it feel like we won't be in for much in terms of surprises. The cast was a little weak, I didn't really like any of the girls but the main character. What was going on at the start? A mind battle or what? After it finished I kept thinking they were battling over what the secret ingredient was, but I really doubt that was it.
The suits, as I've said before, I love them, same with the henshin devices. I really like the fact that for once we have the guys stepping in to fight and can't wait for more in that area.
Not really sure who the enemy is since we really didn't get to know much of anyone outside of the main cast. Not the best first episode, but it was still a pretty good watch. Hopefully the next episode will have some more action and better dispersed dialog.
Questions! Would this still be considered an independent toku? Is it airing on TV? If not, how are the DVDs being released (monthly, weekly, number of episodes on each)?
