So been listening to character themes lately and got to HouOu Soldiers awesome theme but also got reminded of how f***ing ridiculously OP he was in his introduction....like why even give this guy legend a mecha when he can cut down giant fleets on his own. But of course like the good ole anime trope it is...the coolest character has to be depowered or else there would be no story. DUEL WEILDERING FLAMING SWORDS = PROFIT by the way

So Ryusoulger is in its end game and it is getting real interesting heading into the end with this latest episode.
The descriptions for the next episodes sound so bitter sweet though so really looking forward to that.
Really hope to see the full team in Nobless armor in order to take down Eras..because gawd damn it this show is the definition of WE CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY ARMORS! so it should be only fitting they have the final battle with them all in a final powered up form.
Poor GunGeorge for all his loyalty to Pricious is gonna get him sacrificed....awesome design though so he got that lol
Gonna be sad when this is all over because I have really enjoyed this series....and this coming from someone who was completely apprehensive to having to endure another gawd damn dino sentai.

So finished Ryusoulger ep 46
Very nice and what a visual spectical that all climactic fight was for the episode and we finally got an actual ...... redacted as to not spoil it
But leave it to Ryusoulger to fit in obsurd comedy somewhere and of course it just happened to be there lol and had me belly laughing for a good min.
And seeing Era's final form looks like something designed by HR Giger
Final show down should be an even bigger visual spectical...if they have anything left in the budget after the one in this episode.

Ryusoulger has come on so strong with their finale episodes and this one was f***ing great because....HOLY f*** ERAS JUST KILLED....redcated for spoilers (I think) IN ONE SHOT.
But what made it even better was the villans plan....was really unique atleast in comparison to the last dozen or so sentai villans that just wanted to take over the planet and or destroy it.
Oh and that last minute or so of the episode ....CHEFS GAWD DAMN KISS....when you have to fight a Hr Giger nightmare you bring all your gawd damn toys to the fight.
But we got 1 more left and then it is onto gathering all the shiny things in the next series.

Absoloutley love this shot not just for how awesome all the armors are but for the obvious THE WHOLE TEAM GETS POWER UP ARMORS! instead of the usual Red only that is just shared between them.

Yeah I agree the penultimate episode of Ryusoulger was one of the best episodes of the series overall and sets the table for one hell of a finale.
Special props goes to Asuna's actress (Ichika Osaki) for delivering hell of an impassioned speech to help rally the team together and tell the big bad to take their perfect world and stuff it up their backside.
Also on a semi related note, props to the Kamen Rider Zero One team for getting back into the groove and putting together one of their better episodes. I'm always a sucker for the people the hero has helped along the way coming back to help the hero trope and this past episode delivered just that.

Well another reason to be interested in the coming series is this gawd damn awesome monstrosity from the villans...IT HAS A GAWD DAMN CHAINSAW TAIL! And apparently from an interview that Yellow is gonna be the leader for this team.

So finished Ryusoulgers finale and I enjoyed it...especially those first 5-7 or so minutes were just visual orgasim.
I liked that it was a more emotional finale and doing something fairly ballsy but I knew they would not stick to it....got Vs movies to do lol
Liked how they left teases for alot of things at the end....Nada's spirit in Max Ryusoul , Melto discovering more possible Kishiryu etc to have things to look forward to in the Vs movie.
All in all it was a series that got off to a slow start but when it ramped up I have loved it definetly amongst my favourite in awhile...Kyuranger and LuPat are the most recent ones I would rank as just overall better from a story aspect but and I know I am redundent with it but visually this series IMO is one of all the time best.
KiraManger is hopefully a worthwhile follow up because they got a hell of a position to be in...coming off a great series and stuck as the series before the 45th anniversary.

So finished with episode 0 of KiraMager
And I like it for the most part but as this was a raw version of the episode I could not get any hold on the story or names etc so I can only go on what I watched and visually it is already a great follow up to Ryusoulger's style....loved the fight as they got a bit or arrogance to them in how they fight very flashy.
Still not a fan of the water filter gun even though the function is f***ing awesome.
The henshin sequence is alot quicker then I thought it would be...they might drag it out for the show idk but for now it is quick.
I can't help but watch the main mentor to the team I guess and just be all like...WHY DOES SHE HAVE A BRA ON HER HEAD I just cannot unsee it
The main villan made a hell of a first impression in their introductory scene...just outright f***ing murder.
All in all I am gonna stick with this as of now.....oh forgot to mention our red for the season is gonna either gonna end up being endearing or very f***ing irritating as this goes on oh boy lol.
Here is the first henshin and fight from the episode
And one other little thing there is a very quick little connection to another sentai series you have to keep your out for which I loved because we say it with PR that they need to keep connections to other series alive as it gives a bigger feel to the overall universe...and sentai did it here hope we get cameos from this certain team.

So finally got to watch the actual first episode of Kiramager......and gawd damn is this series all over the place right outta the gate.
The villans are your usual dark brooders....with really no story other than they invaded a planet and killed its king.
Our rangers for the season for the most part I still really like them.....BUT OH MY f***ING GOD , THE RED FOR THIS SEASON IS TAKAHARU LEVELS OF f***ING OBNOXIOUS.....HE YELLS EVERYTHING , HE ALREADY HAS A CATCHPHRASE HE HAS RUN INTO THE f***ING GROUND AND HAVE I MENTIONED HE YELLS EVERY GAWD DAMN THING!!!!
Please KiraMager I beg of you if you want this season to not bottom the f*** out before it even begins either kill this red or tone him wayyyy the f*** down by the next episode , because we went from a fairly mature red in Ryusoulger to gawd damn Takaharu 2.0....Oh and ontop of his obnoxiousness they practically made him the most OP red perhaps ever with him literally being able to draw anything and bring it to life....there better be some serious draw back to this.
Other than HIM...I am lookin forward to the rest of the season the mechas look great and that is something I loved that we got to see the individual mechas in action and not just jumping into the full giant robo. Which is something that has been way underutilized for way too long in sentai so I am glad to see it and hope it is not one and done.
Again all in all it has alot of potential to be a great series....but f*** that Red is gonna kill this show if he doesn't get toned the hell down almost instantly.

So I've just finished episode 18 of Dynaman, and all I have to say is OOF. The terrible SFX for the monster growing is still around and it's also used for people moving at times. IT SUCKS TO WATCH.
Also, after episode 17 I hope it's a long while before I see another Wild West gunfight sequence because they are beyond stupid.

www.toei.co.jp/release/public/1217460_1140.htmlGlobal YouTube Channel 【TOEI TOKUSATSU WORLD OFFICIAL】 Starts Monday April 6th, 2020!! ■What’s ”TOEI TOKUSATSU WORLD OFFICIAL”? This official Toei YouTube channel will have a lineup of various shows, including “NATIONAL KID” (1960), Super Sentai Series such as “GORENGER”(1975), Metal Hero Series including “SPACE COP GAVAN”(1982), and robot anime such as “VOLTES V”(1977). We will update daily to share TOEI’s TOKUSATSU with the world. At launch, we will have the first two episodes of all 70 shows available with English subtitles! Further episodes will be available in Japanese for now, but there could be frequent updates. We plan on making a public call for subtitles in any language. ■WHAT’S TOKUSATSU?? Simply translated, it means SFX, or special effects, but Japan’s “TOKUSATSU” is something different. It is its own genre in Japan, known for a filming technique that makes use of miniatures, costumes, CG, and special effects. One characteristic of the TOEI TOKUSATSU series is the heroes are life-sized. TOEI started making TOKUSATSU in the 1950s, and has since created shows that widely vary in genre and style. Some especially popular series include Kamen Rider (a.k.a. Masked Rider) and Super Sentai, first created in 1971 and 1975 respectively, and they continue to this day. The genre has since seen success outside of Japan as well. The 1992 series “ZYURANGER” was remade in America as “Power Rangers”, which became a hit there, and continues to the present. Nowadays, “TOKUSATSU” is a word that is understood all over the world! The series uploaded to this channel created the foundation of TOEI’s TOKUSATSU culture. From the strange world view of the TOEI Fushigi Comedy Series (TOEI Mysterious Comedy Series), to the heroes of the Metal Hero Series and more, we hope you enjoy the variety of TOKUSATSU culture. ■Original Character: The ninja, CONTENMARU Did you notice the ninja fox that appears at the start? That is CONTENMARU, the official character that will support our new channel. Tasked with delivering TOEI TOKUSATSU content to the world, he’ll liven up the channel! (In Japan, fox cries are expressed as “con”.) CONTENMARU’s dream is to study TOEI TOKUSATSU and someday join their ranks as a cool hero. Powered by his favorite food, onigiri (rice balls), he trains hard day after day. *Currently accepting inquiries about merchandising! ■Releases (First Round) Monday April 6, 2020: Episodes 1 and 2 of all 70 shows (with English subtitles) Monday April 13, 2020: Episode 3 and 4 of NATIONAL KID (to be updated on Mondays) Tuesday April 14, 2020: Episode 3 and 4 of SUKI SUKI MAJO SENSEI (to be updated on Tuesdays) Wednesday April 15, 2020: Episode 3 and 4 of ROBOT 8-CHAN (to be updated on Wednesdays) Thursday April 16, 2020: Episode 3 and 4 of SPACE COP GAVAN (to be updated on Thursdays) Friday April 17, 2020: Episode 3 and 4 of JASPION (to be updated on Fridays) Episode 3 and 4 of HARD GUMI (to be updated on Fridays) Saturday April 18, 2020: Episode 3 and 4 of MAGICAL GIRL CHUKANA PAIPAI (to be updated on Saturdays) Episode 3 and 4 of WINSPECTOR (to be updated on Saturdays) Sunday April 19, 2020: Episode 3 and 4 of COMBATTLER V (to be updated on Sundays) Episode 3 and 4 of GORENGER (to be updated on Sundays) ■Other shows (Partial List) From the 60s: CAPTAIN ULTRA, YOKAI BUGEICHO, and more From the 70s: JAKQ, DEAR ROBOTTIE!, MESSAGE FROM SPACE, and more From the 80s: SPACE COP SHARIVAN and more From the 90s: POITRINE, CHANZERION, and more Anime: DALTANIUS, DAIMOS, and more

Due to current events, I decided to watch the very first Ultraman series from 1966 since I have watched each the very first Sentai series (both by the original counting and by the later revised counting) and the first Kamen Rider series.
10 episodes in and this show really rocks compared to the other firsties. Main reasons:
-I find the set-up of the show to be a real breath of fresh air with it not being a formulaic "big evil organisation sends out its monster of the week to make things bad for humans with the heroes thwarting it" but rather having each monster-of-the-week having a different reason for rampaging (Baltan wanting to conquer Earth as a new home planet, Jirass being a monster brought up by an evil scientist, one monster being fond of cocoa beans and thus attacking ships).
-While the monster suits and Ultraman's suit are suitably goofy for the time being, the fights are far more entertaining than the other firsties fight scenes, mostly due to them providing a bit of variety most of the time. Be it the fight against Baltan in a warehouse district at night, Ultraman not just killing some monsters with his Specium Ray but also by simply ripping appendages like fins, frilled necks etc. off and letting them bleed to death. Within these ten episodes I probably got more variety than I got in 75 episodes of Goranger or 98 episodes of Kamen Rider.
-The main cast is also likable with Captain Muramatsu (played by Akiji Kobayashi who became most famous as the mentor of several Kamen Riders later on, Tobei Tachibana, and who plays a really dignified role here), the comic relief Ide, overbearing sniper Arashi and the really cute Akiko Fuji. And for once they have a regular kid character who does not annoy the living daylights out of me.
Yep, really looking forward to the next episodes.

tokusatsunetwork.com/2020/03/toei-studios-closes-for-sanitation-due-to-covid-19/Toei Studios Closes For Sanitation Due To COVID-19 Toei Studios shuts down for sanitation following the news of KiramaRed’s actor Rio Komiya testing positive for COVID-19. Following the reports confirming Kiramei Red’s actor Rio Komiya testing positive for COVID-19, Toei Studios now has shut down for disinfecting. Four shoots were underway in the studio prior to the shutdown. Two of the productions were the dramas Tokuso9 and Keishicho Sosaikkacho 2020. Production for Super Sentai has halted for the time being. Officials have been blocked from getting in or out of the studio at this time. On March 24th, Komiya reported he lost his sense of taste. He was on the set of Mashin Sentai Kirameiger through March 27th and on March 28th, filming of Kirameiger ceased after his test results came back positive. The other 40 cast members have not currently reported having any symptoms. On March 30th, the studio closed down for disinfecting and have continued to do so through the 31st. Filming for Mashin Sentai Kirameiger has been completed for up to mid-May broadcasting. Broadcasters of the show stated there will be no issues with airing as of now. Currently, there is no official wording as to when the studio will reopen as it will fall under the jurisdiction of health officials. No further information on how this will affect other Toei productions have been announced at this time.

Mercifully finished Dynaman last night. The ending story arc actually helped make it a bit better but I still have to marvel at how stupid the Dynamen where leading up to it. "Oh hey, there's an old guy with an eyepatch that is fighting Dan! I wonder who he is?" Not once did they think, "Oh dear, Megido is in disguise! Maybe he's Dark Knight as well!"
On to Bioman. Without subtitles. For now. Maybe.
