Ressha Sentai ToQger - Ep 1. "Starting Station- Let's Ride the Express Trains"

[Dr Kain]

No way man, there's totally definitive answers!:redface2:

Why do people always have to try and assert their opinion? Its fucking ridiculous and its in no way helped that we do it literally constantly. Sometimes this fandom can be so embarrassing.

Can't we move on and talk about something new?

Yeah, how dare a discussion board hold discussions that contain multiple opinions.

 

[LaZerwolfX]

The problem is not that theres discussion or that everyone has different opinions; clearly. The problem is that its the same discussion; constantly. its always:

"This series is good!"

"No it isn't!"

"I thought it was passable!"

"NO! Clearly all of the series are following this arbitrary pattern I came up with!"

"No! The pattern is actually in reverse!"

"I don't like patterns!"

"Well I don't like you!"

Its the same **** over and over again. Its fucking stupid.

 

[Aoi Kurenai]

Generally it's always the same few people bringing up that pointless cycle. The rest of the time, yeah, there's fairly decent discussion going back and forth.

And I always have to roll my eyes at the "cycle". In the last ten years there have only been three shows I actually think are bad. The rest range from average to great.

 

[Xtreme RX]

Oh come on, not the "cycle" again. :redface2:

Yeah, how dare a discussion board hold discussions that contain multiple opinions.

Well, I tried to start a discussion when I wrote down my interpretation of the whole show. Was expecting an answer, or someone telling me "no, your theory sucks because point 1, point 2, and point 3" and I would have argued that "Well, but my point 1 and my point 2 are that this and this so I think my theory stil works, but your point 2 is actually interesting, I didn't see it that way".

In such a manner that, after discussing both our theories, we could have come up with a new one, or not, but we would have had a nice discussion where we found out new ideas.

Nope, I wrote that idea, and the next thing I know, people are saying that there is a pattern, that some shows are good, some not. I don't care if you don't like a show. But I do care to know why you didn't like it.

I have a friend and with him, we discuss Tokusatsu that way. He eventually made me watch Gekiranger and Gokaiger, both shows I wasn't interested in at first, because he explained to me why he liked them.

After reading up so much negativity about the show, and then finally watching it, my verdict for the first episode is...

I liked it.

The theme song caught me right away with its "Go, go, go, go!". Not the best or the most ideal Sentai opening theme, but I was swept by it straight away so it did what it had to.

Between ToQ-1 falling down after the explosion in the opening and the various off beat humor moments of the show, I'm seeing this show being a comedic semi-parody show. To be perfectly honest, I'm ready for another straight Sentai show that doesn't take itself seriously and is gonna have fun with itself.

My only real complaint is Light/Right(by the way, I'm inclined to think he's Light because of the ToQgers' role to bring light to the Shadow Line's darkness) and it's purely how he looks. Sure, you may be a martial arts practitioner, but if you're groomed that much you won't be able to do three punches without ruining your make up and breaking your fingernails:redface2:. At the very least, Hikari/ToQ-3 looks like he's ready to kick ass.

 

[Toku Prime]

My only real complaint is Light/Right(by the way, I'm inclined to think he's Light because of the ToQgers' role to bring light to the Shadow Line's darkness)

Check Over-Time's release post, where they mention it and give three reasons why they went with Right:
1. Apparently there was a trivia questions segment after the show where they asked if his name was "Right" or "Left".
2. None of the other four have names that mean light.
3. The image that first showed us they were called "ToQ 1Gou" etc also had the characters names on, and listed him as Right (plus, there's the massive R on his jacket lol).

Who knows, maybe it is Light and it's just the L/R thing at work, but IMO that first point certainly seems to indicate their intent was for the word "Right".

 

[Solari]

^on point 2. 4gou's name Hikari means 'light'

Don't forget the episode with the man that was going to commit suicide until he met Ryouga inside the villain's dimension.



Wait, the conductor is Usopp?

No, the monkey puppet Ticket is voiced by Yamaguchi Kappei.
The actor of the conductor is Sekine Tsutomu(a comedian)

 

[waterballoon]

I actually really like this series!

Red was annoying because most Reds annoy me with their personalities.. he's ugly too. Blue and Green are F-I-N-E and Blue is so so so adorable and funny

Yellow reminds me a lot of Luka/Gokai Yellow, but we shall have to see more.

AND I HATE PINK SO MUCH. SFM. SFM. SFM. Why the f*** is she a sentai hero when she's so.. ugh?! Only cool thing is her weapon is the cutest **** I've seen in sentai history.

Train mecha is ugly as hell but the gattai scene reminded me of Carranger.
