If you have time in future, ...Thanks for the reply.<br />If you have time in future, maybe you can post a blog topic on "Current State of Sentai/Tokusatsu" or something, where you can discuss more in detail of that topic. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726631926220557249.post-3743229963105502992014-06-21T17:06:56.425-07:002014-06-21T17:06:56.425-07:00I think the problem with the new Sentai is that th...I think the problem with the new Sentai is that things are just becoming a toy commercial and not a good show. Go-busters wasn't that, it was just a bad series in my opinion as it tried too much. Kyoryuger and Toqger are playing it safe and mostly let the toys be the money maker. I know these shows always sell toys and merch, but again Gokaiger was the opposite of that even with the many keys. Then for how things are for the other franchise, Kamen Rider easily took more risks and Gaim is easily that. Even Fourze was an interesting change for the franchise as it was more comedic and upbeat than series before it.<br /><br />With Wagon that is completely different story, I can be a snob of comedy. If it fails it can anger me at many times. Comedy is all over the place and I know the many different types as I've seen many films, series, and games with those different styles. Wagon has terrible comedy, but she just has the things I hate in a huge personal sense. She acts like a teenage girl obsessed with social media and that is something that just makes me want to uproar. Also her design is just creepy in my opinion and they try to make it look sexy and that just creeps me out. I can have an issue with over sexualization as well. Now would Toqger and Kyoryuger be fine for kids, of course they play it safe for that reason even with the questionable things in Toq. It's just I have seen story in kids shows that have done better and can be more than just a kids show.<br /><br />In the end, there will always be different opinions and I understand that. All I am doing is sharing my opinions about entertainment because I love it that much.KamenSentaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516853725559425884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726631926220557249.post-33458471738865456812014-06-21T13:56:32.634-07:002014-06-21T13:56:32.634-07:00So far, format of the show goes like this:
New Sup...So far, format of the show goes like this:<br />New Support Resshas -> Filler -> New Support Resshas -> Filler.... latter-rinse-repeat I guess<br />There's nothing with the per-say, but in terms of storytelling, it's pretty fair IMO, for a few episodes.<br />Let's hope it gets better by episode 10 and beyond, where we should get more progression of the show.<br /><br />Awwww no love for Wagon?<br />I honestly don't think she's that BAD of a character; she does serve her roles fine.<br />She's just kind of... there... which is what supporting character supposed to do.<br />I think you're too early to judge her character at this point, where we still have 40+ more episodes to go.<br />I like the suit design BTW.<br /><br />Kendama trick is pretty unique IMO, it's a lot better than Nossan-ball last year (WTF were they smoking when they come up with that?).<br /><br />Kagura <br />This next segment that I want to discuss is very subjective and it has nothing to do with this episode.<br />I noticed that you haven't been a fan of sentai or positive after Gokaiger. <br />I think the problem here is that you're setting the expectation too high, either you loved Gokaiger a lot or expecting more of the same thing, etc.<br />I'm not saying what you're doing is wrong; you have right to praise/criticize the series.<br />What I'm trying to say is that Toei doesn't necessarily make sentai that you satisfied; they always make different varieties of the series, whether they are good/bad, depend on how you see.<br />Not every series can be part of your taste.<br />Try to understand and somewhat appreciate (if possible) for what's Toei's doing right now regarding their variety in tones/shift of franchise (even though their ratings has been slipping drastically every since Gekiranger, but that's another topic).<br />You can't just set up expectation too high/low every time, and try what Toei is accomplishing. <br />(BTW, I'm not trying to say "it's just a kid show", just to remind you).<br />If you can't.... then I recommend (not demand) that you should stop reviewing series if you feel so stressful; heck you are already doing lot of things beside sentai/tokusatsu these day anyway (e.g. video games)<br /><br />That's all I have to say. Feel free to agree/disagree with my statement.<br />I'm wishing you good health and looking forward to see another review.<br /><br />P.S. I love your pacman icon on "about me". Nice choice!
