(Where Wraithstrike Watches) The Toku Thread

Changeman Episode 30

So, a few things about this episode.
1)I had to watch this in RAW form, because it wasn't subbed. So I may have missed salient details.
2) I'm not a horse person, but is the blood on Pegasus' legs a result of the previous owners trying too hard to break him?
3) I went through the episode three times, because I was on the fence. I still am. On the one side, it's a pointless detail that the horse-themed ranger likes to ride horses. It's pretty lazy writing to have the Earth Force doing something for Change Pegasus this late in the series. However, it also has a badass horse, Gozma troops unable to deal with four hooves of destructive fury. The worst of it all is, the Horse does something, and the payoff is the implication that the horse was atomized, leaving nothing but the pendant on his tack.

I don't know. Is this a good episode? I can't tell.

I personally thought it was a real groaner of an episode, just too cheesy in all the wrong ways and not nearly enough awesome to make up the difference. But in a way, this episode is kind of indirectly important for a later episode now that I think of it, so now I'm not so sure.

Also, the chatbox image seems awfully small.

I don't know. Is this a good episode? I can't tell.

I don't know why people have a problem with this episode, but I liked it, and think it's pretty sad. Maybe you have to be an animal person...

Yuuma saves this horse from being put down and grows close to it, and when Yuuma's in trouble, the horse Pegasus is invigorated by the pegasus power to save him. I never really thought it was Earth Force ex Machina, but just that the Earth Force representing Yuuma is calling out to it.

Well, I can see that, but the Earth Force showing up like this has only happened to one other Changeman by this point, when Change Phoenix powered through an explosion sans armor.

Changeman Episode 31: Reveal It, the Mystery of Bazoo!

GODDAMNITSOMUCH!

 

[cypsiman2]

Oh, you didn't really think they were going reveal something that big at this point in the series? Though bringing in Nana later on to fix the thing up and restore the data is an interesting idea...

Episode 32 Nana's Dangerous Reunion

Ahames has just gotten in trouble with local traffic authorities for pulling out all the stops.

This is a remarkably good episode and it hits all the right notes.

 

[cypsiman2]

Oh yeah, this is one of the really good episodes, and Ahames is just a-ha-mazing in it.

 

[Wraithstrike]

There really should be some beastman goo all over that quarry and under the foot of Changerobo. To hell with proper protocol, there's a little girl in trouble. *SQUISH*

Episode 33: End of Giluke

Hot Damn, these episodes are just ratcheting up. And while the massive fights and escalation of the fights are great, the really shocking thing is Nana's full transformation. She's quite literally a different person, and can't go back to her human family.
