So it's not a voice role after all? Well desu it's not that hard to get Sosuke.

[Over-Time] Royal Sentai King-Ohger VS Donbrothers [AMZN] [1BA12A78].mkv_snapshot.jpg

>>22637920
At least Takano is self-aware.

King-Ohger VS Donbrothers - King-Ohger VS Kyoryuger [WEB-DL][AMZN-CBR][1080p][0EABF47B].mkv_snapshot_00.09.47_[2024.05.18_19.42.22].jpg

>>22637924
Holy fucking shit Himeno got mogged on both sides

>>22636726
Holy shit I feel bad for King honestly lol.
>>22636881
Although, King and Amy romance is the worst and tacked on.

Donbrothers vs King-Oh was a blast but man would it have benefitted from some extra five minutes or so to give it room to breathe

>>22637929
I don't understand why can't they just let both movies be a total of 90 minutes.

>>22637924
She needs to do more bikini gravure ASAP

>O-T subbing Sentai VS again after skipped them for a long time
It's because of Kyoryuger, isn't it?

>>22637949
needs more matthunt is a cunt

>Himeno and Kaguragi get what they deserve
>Rita actually gets to be happy

The alternate timeline was the good ending

The reds soloing the final boss sure is a Kyoryuger tradition.

>>22637663
Funny that it actually does make sense he'd be able come back from the dead once you remove the cause. Tsubasa and Sononi really should be permadead though.

Also got around to watching the DC of the last 3 eps, can't describe how pleased I was that they swapped out the OP playing over Kingohger ascending with the instrumental version of the Waking the King. It fit so perfectly with that scene it's a wonder that they didn't go with it in the broadcast version.

>>22637942
More reason to hate Over-Translate.

>no more Donbrothers content ever again save maybe a 10YA, if Sentai even survives that long

>>22637949
Isnt that just Spider Kumonos armor but purple?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kz_<wbr>XRUQ6l30<br>go-onger mech themes really can't be beat even after all this time

>>22638032
Which Donbro cast do you think will be very famous in 10 years?

>>22638048
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cg<wbr>HxOO7HZ0
G6 was always my favorite of the bunch

>>22638049
I know taro and inubro's actors are getting roles, but what about the others so far?

>>22637949
Isn’t that… the armor of the new Kamen rider from the leak? It was for Boonviolet all this time?

>>22637949
Probably a fake. The pose is identical to this image

>>22638060
Haruka getting a new drama role if I'm not wrong.
Dunno about Saru, seem like he's more of a model than actor?

>>22637949
Oh, so this was a tease after all...

[EiGo] Royal Sentai KingOhger The Movie - Adventure Heaven ~ Complete Edition v2 [3E9C52B6].mkv_snapshot_27.42_[2024.05.19_10.01.49].jpg

>Grodie, Iroki, and Deathnarok are Sonoi's customers
Do you think Grodie found happiness in death with Iroki?

the kibidango was actually an assassination plot by kaguragi by making the dumpling just big enough for the person to choke on it

was the bgm track used for gira's speech against dugded in his debut episode ever released?

>>22637949
>>22638096
Trying to overlay it on photoshop and yes it's fake

>>22638032
They should make Sononi spinoffs in the same vein as Yodonna.

predict how the boonboom body switch episode plays out

>>22638032
Sentai will survive that long. Sentai was born to be a hero. Sentai fights as a hero. Sentai will always be a hero.

You know something that annoys me?<br>The fact that there were only two leg Power Animals in Gaoranger so all four giant robots couldn't exist at the same time

Why did they hide Sosuke’s actor coming back? <br>We all know that man doesn’t have a career

>>22637924
Oh wow, anons weren't lying. The Shida genes finally hit her like a truck.

>>22638224
Probably just hiding his red hair.

What are your thoughts on this week's episode?

>>22638032
One of them can always return for a weird crossover movie in the future.

>>22638365
Honestly if Sentai 50 ends up being a "let's bring back anyone we can" anniversary type of show, I wouldn't be surprised if at least one Donbro comes back. You just can tell the cast loves the show enough for that.

>>22638507
Still sadden that the Go-Onger BoonboomCar is a generic bus and not the Caravan

>LEON is buddy buddy with Go-On Red
I always thought he was just some toy nerd.

>>22638584
So I guess they're just never gonna break out the old robo suits again. If they do need them they'll just CG it.

>>22638224
I dunno it was weird. Even the preview had him voiced by a stand in, trying to make it look like he wasn't coming back.

>>22638219
Not that it mattered, because for some reason they'd only use the Soul Bird after they got it which meant they'd never use more than one of the main robots anyway, the rare exception being episodes where the Bird cloned itself, or when Gaoking would form on it's own without them piloting it.

>>22637930
japanese kids die when exposed to a movie longer than 70 minutes

>Loved Power Rangers as a kid along with all the other Saban legal bootlegs like Bettleborgs and VR Troopers
>Watched up to Lost Galaxy and caught a couple like Dino Thunder in reruns then fell off
>Friend knows i love toku shit like Godzilla so swears to give Super Sentai a go.
>Current series is Donbrothers
>Not bad just not my thing
>Hear a lot of good shit about King Ohger
>Give it a try
>Hooked from episode 1
>Watch it every week
>Buy merch
>Have a memorial edition Oghercalibre on order for way too much money
>Love the characters, the music, the narrative. It becomes my new favourite series in the genre
>Oh boy now time to check out Boomboonger!
>Hate it.
>Hate fucking everything about it.

So is this how it is when each series lacks continuity? you are either locked in or just skip till the next one?

I'm just sad i won't see characters like Kaguragi or Racles again bros...

>>22638377
>>22638032
Speaking of anniversary, Fumiki Yoshikawa AP said something interesting on latest behind the scenes blog
>The appearance of Go-on Red this time was made possible by the combination of thoughts (and circumstances) of many people. Simply put, it's a miracle.

>I dare to say this in a vague way, but A new era of Sentai is about to begin. There is no doubt that we have made great progress. I'm sure there will come a day when you'll think, "Ah, this is what Yoshikawa wanted to say!"

>>22638799
So that's their desperation move, just making past Sentai members show up every show.

Have you accepted that Boonboomger is worse than Gotchard yet?

>>22638811
Is this the ultramanification of Sentai?

>>22638520
Again, Furuhara is a content creator now. Gotta make lots of connections in his new side job.

>>22638785
You were based until you said that you hated the Boomboom

[Over-Time] Royal Sentai King-Ohger VS Donbrothers [AMZN] [1BA12A78].mkv_snapshot_09.28.985.jpg

>>22638922
You say shitpost only because you fear the truth. The boomboom cannot compare to the chemstory and you know it!

I felt like the Kyoryuger movie was kinda weak. It felt more like it was making up for Daigo and Utchy not being in the in-series crossover since besides them and Yayoi the others don't even get much screentime. Also disappointing that the kings didn't get to interact all that much with Daigo and Utchy as well.

>yayoi is still malding over losing the daigob owl

Racles, His brother and his brothers husband, 2024 colourised.

I haven't watched Kyoryuger but<br>Is it just me or he looks like Japanese Keanu Reeves here

[Over-Time] Royal Sentai King-Ohger VS Kyoryuger [AMZN] [EF4C2A82].mkv_snapshot_07.53.599.jpg

>>22638785
I don't get how you can grow up with every facet of Saban's early exports and hate the Boonboom. Have you lost your tolerance for camp and status quo stories with age?
>you are either locked in or just skip till the next one?
You either lock in or watch one of the 46+ other shows until the next one. Or drop it for Kamen Rider.

the time i got baked into a giant pizza.jpg

>>22638976
So it's really written as Husty.

>>22639040
For Kobayashi's swan song for TV toku it was pretty great

>>22639042
I really wish she would do one more series.

>>22638785
A lot of people feel the same and tuned out for both Gotchard and Boomboomger, you can probably tell from how dead the threads are compared to the previous two seasons

didn't realize e-hentai has artbooks that drawings of every sentai monster up to gokaiger
It's really hard to find good pics of showa monsters elsewhere
https://e-hentai.org/g/1172527/2550<wbr>d1bf04/
https://e-hentai.org/g/1172928/5ac1<wbr>45c870/

>>22638785
That doesn’t make sense that you like early american toku saban shows because they did not at all have week to week continuity so idk what to tell you except you’re gay for hating and wanting to stop the boon.

Kingohger is evil, the robot not the team.<br>Kijino did nothing wrong.

>>22639138
It might be a site made to upload porn comics first, but there's no rule against uploading shit like art books. It's the best place for them cause of how hi-res they can be.

Haven't watched Sentai since Kyoryuger was airing halfway through and now I'm looking to return to watching Sentai again. What would you guys recommend for me? (anything post-Kyoryu that is)

>Daigo and Mana were the same year
What was up with Toei in 2013?

>>22639160
Don't forget Kamen Rider Wizard, it was pretty much the year of main character does everything but fuck that guy/girl, I prefer his/her friends.

>>22639091
she'll be out of Jojo jail one day...

>>22639244
>>22639255
Dear God, Tetsu really has aged the worst out of all the Dekarangers.

>>22639200
Hairdryer Dimension by beloved

>>22639155
The only really "bad" Sentai post Kyoryuger IMO is Ninninger.

>>22639349
I always remember monsters who become good guys

>>22639358
It's like Yatsudenwani from Abaranger. Monsters that turn into good guys are best boys.

>>22639478
Boonboomger Robo Monster looks great. Love how it uses the car as a big dragon mouth.

>>22638971
I ended up starting Toqer instead, the monster designs are fantastic.

>>22639139
There was a measure of continuity from MMPR to Space/Lost Galaxy where characters like Zordon, Alpha, Bulk and Skull and Rita/Zedd were in it for the duration. Then they killed Zordon and wrapped that up until Dino Thunder and everything after like Wild Force, Ninja Storm and so on were -outside of the fanservice crossovers- effectively separate universes with their own rules wereas before they took different sentai series and made them one connected narrative with rangers continuing on as different rangers but the same actor/character just getting new powers because the old ones got destroyed. For example instead of Carranger and Megaranger being separate shows its a direct sequel where the cars are destroyed and they have to take a space shuttle to follow a villain into space where a single new red ranger joins the team but everyone else is the same.

>>22639499
thankfully the two best sentai seasons are the only two connected like that

Imagine the alternative:
>Kaguragi has to get his drivers license
>Racles gets a ticket for road rage, Himeno is now his polite driving instructor
>Gira gets double parked by a villain and spends the episode trapped and screeching once again
>Yamna has souped up the most graish led nightmare moped
>Jeremy drives at 5mph like an old man
>Rita has a moffun decal wrap all around her nissan skyline she uses to nightrace with

Is there a list of all the things Brachio says during his stock footage anywhere?

>>22639573
Rangerwiki has one, but I think they get some of the references wrong.

>kill billions
>get to chill in the afterlife eating oden with your wife

>>22639591
Since Grodie is the type of person who won't die when killed, poor Kamejim happens to be reduced to atoms after getting dragged to Hakabaka.

Black is the best sentai color, there are no bad blacks.

>>22639676
King Ranger and Zyuoh The Worlds say otherwise.

I honestly wondering if behind the scene both Toei and Bandai's presidents are being absolutely hammered by investors and sponsor about Super Sentai's large financial decline

>>22639681
you're supposed to give bad blacks

>>22639420
Which stageshow the Yanma-Himeno are from?

The Dantetsu thing still has me in disbelief

[Over-Time] Royal Sentai King-Ohger VS Donbrothers [AMZN] [1BA12A78] [00_15_46]1.jpg

New Rider logo somehow reminds me of Dino Sentai Seasons

Remember that time the Gaiark Ministers dine and dashed at Genta's sushi stand?

Who was in the right?

Haruka / Himeno: Kids' shows should cater first and foremost to children only. The fanbase's opinion and desires do not mean anything if the target audience is not entertained.

Rita / Sonoza: Kids' shows are better off catering to an audience of all ages / family audience while keeping kids in mind, and fostering a fanbase into adulthood

[Over-Time] Royal Sentai King-Ohger VS Kyoryuger [AMZN] [EF4C2A82].mkv_snapshot_41.37.246.jpg

>>22639910
see >>22639708 Rita and Sonoza are on the right.

>>22639920
uh Stacey wasn't in the crossover.

>>22639910
Rita/Sonoza given how much money Bandai makes from anniversary stuff.

>>22639910
Haruka and Hymeno. Rita and Sonoza are just desperately coping like the anons here.

>>22639913
yayoi probably did it on purpose

>>22639910
It's hard to take Haruka/Himeno's argument seriously when kids aren't the ones buying memorial stuff and P.Bandai products.

>>22640008
>buying memorial stuff and P.Bandai products
None of that shit is saving Sentai.

>>22639910
While I do believe Haruka and Himeno have a point and it can be the correct option in some cases, time has shown over and over again that Rita and Sonoza are on the right here. Case on point: MLP, early Heisei Rider and King-Ohger itself are good examples of it.

>>22640027
Heisei Rider nearly got cancelled until Den-O came.

>>22640027
> MLP
That isn’t sustainable either though. I haven’t heard anyone except Chris-Chan talk about the new gen or at least as much as they did before

>>22640033
>until Den-O came
he doesn't cum, he climaxes

>>22640027
wasn’t MLP’s popularity just a freak accident

>>22638817
One could argue that started the moment they decided to incorporate giant monster battles into the franchise... so, 1979.

>>22639910
Haruka and Himeno should be in the right and would have been 10-15 years ago but especially in Japan there's just not enough kids anymore to sustain huge sales and the ones that are have newer interests beyond plastic toys. Same with the US, which is why Hasbro/Disney/etc cater to the manchild market so much. Japan has the second lowest child population in the world, that's not enough to get huge sales exclusively shooting to kids with all the other competition they have.

Only way to get by on kids alone these days is to have a mass global appeal. One of the most popular kids franchises these days is Miraculous Ladybug in part because it's popular worldwide especially in places where they have alot of kids like South America, Africa, the Middle East etc (ironically in Japan it's niche at best). Sentai can't do that, because of Power Rangers as well as other factors. So they either have to broaden their appeal or get Japan's birthrate up.

>>22640062
Or just make some fucking good toys. It's simple as that

>>22639910
Kids will often watch shows with their parents, which can make them a bonding moment between parent and child. This bonding will become even more intensified if the show also contains something that will keep the parents themselves interested in it, as they will truly share something in the experience

Financially, it also makes sense to have as large an audience as possible. It's likely your franchise will have rainy years in which for whatever reason its core premise simply won't be too interesting for current era kids, as very few properties manage to keep interest forever. At those times, you will at least be able to count on your core, established and older fanbase to keep following and loving the work.

Finally, none of this means that appealing to one group has to come at the expense of another. In fact, every children's story that is worth talking about contains something that also appeals to older audiences. What makes a kids's story "kids's" is not so much that it is juvenlle, but that it is very simplified, both in aesthetics (cartoons and toku are simplified and stylized recreations of real life) and in themes (where real life complexities and nuances are often abstracted away). In that respect, both aesthetics and themes of childrens's entertainment can be simplified without losing appeal to adults. And in doing so, we create a bridge between generations, we tell fundamental truths of life that both prepare the young and reinvigorate the grownups. We challenge kids with new things instead of just stimulating their dopamine receptors, and we keep adults from becoming too cynical, by reintroducing them to simple truths they may have forgotten.

And that's why I've sent a subpoena to Gira Husty for Shuggodom to acquire the rights of Me and Moffun, so it can be properly managed.

>>22639505
>>Rita has a moffun decal wrap all around her nissan skyline she uses to nightrace with
But nightracing is illegal.

Kyoryuger 20YA will be a team up with Dino Force Brave and Super Dino Charge and Yayoi will have a KyoryuRed train ran on her.

I really liked Ryusoulger opening. Really catchy song

>>22639910
Kids are smarter than most adults give them credit for, and they pretty quickly become aware of when media is talking down to them. Kids' shows that are successful and leave a lasting cultural impact are almost always the ones that cater to an audience of all ages and give the kids material that makes them feel like they had to work a little to understand it.

>>22639696
I think Rider's growth made up for Sentai's fall. Although the problem now is that Rider kind of hit a ceiling and Sentai has been unable to really recover.

>>22640157
Sentai is competing with other mecha shows, not Rider or Ultraman. You can't just blame them for Sentai's downfall

>>22640154
I feel the same way. When I was a kid, I felt like shows that didn't dumb down the material and had an established universe made me have to try to be a little smarter to understand everything about it. They're the ones I found the most enriching because I found that I understood it on one level as a child, but understood it on a deeper level as I became an adult and figured out the things they were including. When I was a kid, I enjoyed Temple of Doom because it had a guy ripping out a dude's heart and it catching on fire, but it felt like there was more to it. When I grew up, I knew more about the British regency and the Thuggee Cult and so the historical context made more sense.

>>22639910
The goal of any production is to make money immediately, alienating or worse starving out the main demographic generating that money is a stupid move. As someone who loves Go-Busters and Hibiki, I resent the retools but can completely understand how it ended up happening.

Himeno's 25% Leaf is showing in this picture

>>22640196
Or is she half-Leaf. I'm not sure anymore, but some Anon probably knows

>>22640199
Half-leaf. Her father is Canadian.

>>22640165
I mean, yeah, Sentai bricks kinda blow when other shows are making better robots.

>>22639849
Remember the time Keglesia and Kitenidas try to use "Black Magic for Dummies" to resurrect the dead?

>>22639701
Wouldn't that be Goseiger?
They use cards, they even say "Gotcha". Although Goseiger's lead is arguably a better character/actor.

>>22640062
>there's just not enough kids anymore to sustain huge sales and the ones that are have newer interests beyond plastic toys
there are plenty of kids to buy and want toys still
the problem is you can't just give them any whatever piece of shit toy like before and expect them to like it
given how many autists here and in /krg/ constantly complain about the quality of the figures, belts, mecha, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of kids felt the same way

>>22640377
Rider consistently sells great though, /krg/ are just whiny fags.

>>22638941
The problem is both movies totalled up to 55 minutes when each should have been 55 minutes so you got around 2 hours of total runtime.

I wonder why they made episode 12 a small crossover with go-onger? Was it some anniversary thing going on? I know Bunblack's actor said he grew up with, not sure if it's the same for the rest of the cast.

>>22639913
There's a theory that Daigo really looks like his father after only like 20 years later but Amy barely changes.

>>22640368
It's not about the same gimmick but more like the same "back to basic" vibe.

>>22640460
>car show
>also a car show
Wouldn't be surprised if Carranger gets something later.

>>22640481
Rumor is Toqger is gonna show up

>>22640460
The only thing making sense is because both Boonboomger and Go-Onger are car/vehicle Sentai.
This year isn't even Go-Onger's milestone anniversary unless you consider it as 15 years since the final episode in 2009.

Leak said we're getting ToQger which isn't a car Sentai but this year is their 10th anniversary, so it's a "King-Ohger meeting Kyoryuger" situation.

>>22640481
>Carranger
Get ready for CGI RV Robo.

>>22640154
Kids prefer shows like Kyoryuger over shows like Go-Busters.

>>22640487
Fine by me, would’ve preferred a wacky races movie though with them and turbo in it.

>>22640460
They’re both car sentais and furuhasa doesn’t have a career so he’s always gonna show up.
It’s not that difficult

>>22640460
Because Cars and because Go On Red is one of those guys who will come running in seconds of they call for him again just like MagiYellow. It was just the perfect set up. Now the question is if they follow it up with Carranger and Turboranger. Red Turbo's wanted a big reappearance for years now and it's Turborangers 35th

>>22640453
even with all green screen they couldn't afford that

>>22638811
>>22638817
>>22638799

50th's coming up, gotta start reminding people of the history again

>>22640381
Rider has the opposite problem, where it sells so good regardless of the quality of the show nobody really gives a shit or they keep cheaping out to save money because they'll get crazy profit anyway.

>>22640517
You're being a whiny fag, the quality of current Rider shows are good.

>>22640517
Or maybe kids just prefer Reiwa Rider over Reiwa Sentai that much.

>>22640520
Gokaiger and Kyoryuger held their own for a while but for the most part kids have been prefering Rider since Heisei phase 2 started.

>>22640499
I think the only Go-onger with something resembling a career is Saki. In fact that's why her agency didn't allow her to wear her go-on jacket in the 10th Anniversary special

>>22640592
I will need to check the timeline, but Renn is now an award winning author and an award winning weatherman. Very surprised he didn't retweet the Go-Onger appearance on Boonboom but I guess it's because he wasn't involved.

>>22640599
Good for him. I guess it makes sense to move on from acting because he's one of the worst, if not the worst toku actor ever. He looked like laughing during Sousuke turn to stone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOp<wbr>25dRqCnE

>>22640603
Harsh much anon. It was everyone's first acting job.

>>22640592
Even her career seems to have fizzled since then, to the point where she's back making Toku appearances again. But yeah her agency fought the 10th special tooth and nail, they REALLY didn't want her in it.

>>22640637
>suddenly return to toku several times after Go-On 10th (Trigger and Revice)
>suddenly doing gravure again and one of her new photo is nude (covered tho)
yeah I wonder what happened

>>22640460
I wouldn't be surprised if we get a movie with Carranger too on that space race.

Let's be honest here, we sorely need magazine scans, but because we're not getting TV-kun or Televi Magazine this month, we'll never get to know anything about Bun Violet until the start of next month, where they formally reveal who he is. We kept getting fake leaks, and Kamen Rider Gavv is lucky a few leaks slipped through. So unfair.

>>22640707
>Kamen Rider Gavv
Gets me on how quickly Gavv's trademark and logo got announced compared to the usual.

>>22640707
He'll probably being in FigurOh

Donbrothers vs King-Ohger had me giggling all the way through.<br>Donbros vs Kyoryuger wasn't bad either, makes me wish they were still making Super Hero Taisen movies

>>22640460
Ninninger did the same thing. They brought out fucking Jiraiya for an episode.

>>22639910
All ages is right, however that easily turns into a poor version of the adult show someone wanted to make. The best case scenario is a well fleshed out simple premise so kids can put it together and have ideas churning in the back of their mind. Older fans can dig deeper into the more well developed aspects but anyone can enjoy it as just fun or something more meaningful. The worst case is pretty much the 2010s lore heavy American cartoon. Where you can tell they really wanted an older audience and aren't skilled enough to retune it. So you get a half hearted version of the story that satisfies neither group. At which point a fun dumb kid show may have had a better chance at pleasing both kids and adults.

>>22640942
>Donbros vs Kyoryuger wasn't bad either

> This is our (kyoryuger cast) last battle!
> We (kyoryuger suits) will meet again someday!

>>22641000
>Donbros vs Kyoryuger
Shit, don't know how I didn't see that lol.

>>22640637
>they REALLY didn't want her in it.
Don't they have the final word on this?

What does Dantetsu have that Daigo lacks?

>>22640942
>Donbros vs Kyoryuger
I know this is a mistype but I wonder what the VS would be like? Utchy fucking up the Don Clan timeline?

Watching Abaranger, on episode 7, and I have to say that I'm very much enjoying the Evoliens
Lije is a nice twist on the typical creepy evil kid in that she's a pretty normal nice little girl that just so happens to be periodically possessed by an evil god
Michela and Voffa's rivalry and banter is fun
And Jeanne's struggle to control the armor is pretty interesting

>>22641088
>Ryoga falls in front of a black guy and asks if he's in America or Africa
>He's still in Japan
lmao

>>22641088
Abaranger is truly the best dino season if you ask me, it manages to blend absurd comedy with the darker background so well so the show has pretty damn funny and weird episodes and others that hit you like a gut punch without feeling out of place.

I finally got around to watching Donbros vs Kingohger. Did the ending make anyone really emotional? The whole special was just really entertaining and funny and the next thing I know I'm tearing up thinking about lost loved ones. I didn't expect it to get so sentimental. (Rita and Sonoza were right)

Kingohger and Kyoryuger was kind of shit though. The TV episode was really good so I don't get how that happened.

>>22641445
Kingoh vs Kyoryu was just to make up for not having King and Utchy on the TV show

>>22640501
I wonder if the background props with the other 3 car sentai was hinting at this or if it was just an easter egg and happy accident.

I wouldn't be surprised if its an excuse to make SH Figuarts...at least I hope it is

>>22641445
I liked King vs Kyo, also it's pretty much the last time we're gonna sell all the team together.

>>22641445
>Rita and Sonoza were right
They aren't.

>>22640076
>Kids will often watch shows with their parents, which can make them a bonding moment between parent and child. This bonding will become even more intensified if the show also contains something that will keep the parents themselves interested in it, as they will truly share something in the experience

I used to watch Power Rangers with my dad every week from something like Lost Galaxy to Time Force. Maybe wven earlier. (I started with season 1 of MMPR though) and I cherish those memories. I remember all the toys I got and wish I still had them.

>We challenge kids with new things instead of just stimulating their dopamine receptors, and we keep adults from becoming too cynical, by reintroducing them to simple truths they may have forgotten.

I didn't realize this is why I watched Super Sentai until Tokusatsu Gagaga touched on it in the episode with the kid being bullied.

>>22640460
>>22641452
This shit was planned way ahead, DX Full Action Engine-O was leaked before the show even began. Expect a ToQger crossover too.

>>22641471
I hope they can equip cars as weapons or whatever like the Kyoryuger mechs.

>>22641445
>Did the ending make anyone really emotional?
Not really. I'm really falling out of love for Reiwa Sentai.

>>22641646
As much as you hate Reiwa Rider? Then you really need to stop.

>>22641651
>As much as you hate Reiwa Rider? Then you really need to stop.
I guess. The last Rider I've watched was Zero-One so maybe it's a sign I should take a break from Toei shows for now. Ultraman's recent offerings are really good though so I'm not signing out of toku entirely.

>>22641653
Yeah, it's good to take a break of a year or two and then come back if the current season catches your eye.

>>22641445
>Did the ending make anyone really emotional?
No, I can't cry for gag characters.

Can you guys rate my Super Sentai themed City of Heroes character? Who does he remind you of? He can shoot beams of energy out of his hands and can fly. Basically DPS.

>>22640076
>>22641470

You have to make it for kids, but still you know actually try to make it good despite that. The biggest issue with this debate is that often people just go "well it's for kids and they're too stupid to have good taste and will just buy the shinies" and halfass everything.

>>22641445
>Did the ending make anyone really emotional?
No disrespect, but I don't know how you would have gotten emotional at any of that. I loved the special though.
Kyoryu special was shit but they were just having fun with it, so it doesn't matter.

>>22641470
You are correct. A show that targets kids but is actually well-written and does more than flash bright lights at them can be enjoyed by an older audience, while also giving the kids something to cherish for life. I'm kind of surprised (not really) that people are arguing over who's right when the answer is both.

>>22641723
It's less " Sentai" purely IMO and more like a hodgepodge of Japanese hero design from all over the block. Needs a transforming belt or a brace to sell the look more.

>>22641723
The legs are making me think of Ultraman, actually. The helmet looks a bit like the ones from Dekaranger.

>>22641723
I can see it as a toku hero from the 70s but not as a sentai team member.

Am I schizo or is Kyuranger just Message from Space but written as a 40+ episode sentai show?

Getting BoukenRed back should be easy, right?

>>22641990
Maybe, but probably not AkaRed:
https://x.com/torushome/status/1793<wbr>117084354072797

>>22641993
Well damn, I guess we won't see AkaRed again for some time. Better don't expect him for Sentai 50.

>>22641993
>>22642232
Things are gonna get hectic between these two.

>>22642251
Ozawa was involved in a similar scandal himself.

>>22641993
Kek, so much for super sentai symbols

>>22642365
AkaRed already relegated into Sentai Twitter commentator anyway, they updated the logo for the 45th but never get him to appear in Zenkaiger.

>>22642232
I take it as a sign that Sentai won't make it to the 50th.

A final farewell to my kings, going to be a long wait until Boonboomger vs. King-Ohger

Vs. Donbrothers deserved more time, but I loved the interactions we got. It's what you want in a Vs, the two teams clashing/meshing in unique ways. I hadn't seen Donbros but I like the team a lot already just based on this - Saruhara/Jeramie's shared pretentiousness (and Yanma revealing their insincerity), Kaguragi/Jiro having a manly-man off, the entire argument between Haruka/Rita/Himeno over kids programming feels on-brand for both shows given their different sorts of appeals, and I liked Gira got the bullying I had heard to expect from Tarou. Also Sonoi/Tsubasa are very cute. The isekai humor and the deaths were hilarious (if the Dons are this funny throughout their run I'll enjoy it) and yet still ends on the right amount of heart. The line about how bonds transcend life/death feels like its saying even though these shows are both done, they'll always be with you. Between the two parts I feel it gives the best feeling of finality for both its shows.

Vs. Kyoryuger was great but leaned more on the dinos, specifically Utchy/Yayoi/King given they missed the two parter. It was nice to see all the blanks filled in to complete the show - what happened to King when they chased Dugded, Prince's future, even bringing up Minnogan still frozen in a block of ice ready to exploit. The alternate timeline was neat, we didn't get much time to focus on the altered kings but the idea of what would happen if Causus' plan worked and Gira became a real monster was a fun 'What If' to base around the story, even if time-travel got kinda confusing (wouldn't the only thing they need to do to fix the timeline is stop Utchy from feeding Gira?). The final battle was more hype though, great to see one last climactic roll-call and fight from everyone at their peak and Jesters take a final defeat. Also got great laughs from Yayoi's reaction to Prince and the timeline STILL being fucked by the end

>>22642547
>if the Dons are this funny throughout their run I'll enjoy it
It's an incredibly funny show, I think you'll like it.

>>22642354
He had a secret love child didn't he. Not domestic abuse like Furuya.

>>22641993
First Gokai Silver, now AkaRed. God fucking damnit, we're no better than the Power Rangers at this point.

>>22641927
People are shitting on him in the comments kek

how come everyone writes the donbrothers better than inoue

vs zenkaiger was trash compared to donburis and vs king-ohger

>>22642950
Why people act like just because DonVSZenkai was bad suddenly every Inoue's writing on Donbro are bad?

>>22642617
Well, so far no suicides or selling of Hitler merch.

>>22643068

I see Luka is finally living up to her surname.

We got something worse than that.

>>22643414
>both are from the same Sentai source
lmao

>>22643397
>Shishiranger
False. His death cause was never disclosed

>>22643068
VulPanther is a convicted pedophile and Go-Buster's commander committed multiple acts of sexual abuse.

>>22643068
>>22643397
That was long, LONG time ago compared to cases in Power Rangers, they might as well be a completely distant memory.

>>22643437
That's a bear, anon, not a panther.

>>22643444
Afaik she went missing during the production of the first episodes of Bioman and was never found and declared dead in absentia.

>>22643436
Gai's actor is suicidal, I wouldn't be surprised if he finally bites the bullet after he ruined his own life.

>>22643450
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the reasons are unknown. The crew and cast at the time were very concerned and tried every method to find and contact her to no avail.

>>22643435
>Go-Buster's commander committed multiple acts of sexual abuse.
This is so fucking WEIRD. Didn't Sakaki actually like beat up a guy for taking photos of high school girls' underwear as the show was airing? Ten years later and he gets outed as a dick and have had no roles going forward.

Has any Sentai ranger actor ever killed anybody? If not, PR still has us one-upped...

>>22643444
Reading her JP Wiki, apparently years later Pink Five's actress talked in a variety show about her meeting the first Yellow Four's actress who's working on a <s>transvestite bar.</s>

>>22643407
>>22643452
As a Gokaiger fan and considered the season as one of my favorites, it is utterly depressing to know all the bad that transpired behind the scenes with the actors, and especially since Ten Gokaiger is very last we might ever see the full team together, the Zenkaiger vs Kiramager teamup with Marvelous, and the Twokaizer x Gokaiger Tanuki Special with Marvelous and Gai, at least for a while because Japan might not be as privy and outrage-y with celebrity scandals like in the US. After all, even after the scandal with Takahiro Sakurai a year ago, no real fallout came onto him and his future roles.

>>22643460
There's an episode of Midnight Diner like that.

>>22641445
Seeing these two prideful haughty protags from the two all-time best Sentai in recent decades covered in regal gold and counterbalancing their egos with each other is glorious as all hell.

>>22643468
>no real fallout came onto him and his future roles
Anon...
>>22642136

Of course what gets /ssg/ weirdly active all of a sudden is gossiping about actor controversies like old ladies at a hair salon

>>22643468
>at least for a while because Japan might not be as privy and outrage-y with celebrity scandals like in the US
Nah, Ikeda's career is literally over.

>>22643489
Predict which cast will have the next scandal.

>>22643492
The four King-Ohgers who aren't Gira, Racles and Jeramie.

>>22643484
is Sakurai still the replacement voice for the original Ultraman?

>>22642933
What are they shitting on Takano for?

>>22643468
You are insane. Japan is even more sensitive to scandals especially if it's related to fraud and theft. Just look at what happened to Yutaka Kobayashi who got booted after he shoplifted some shit.

Wait, so the King-Ohger TTFC special that announced on their Final Live Tour is Dekaranger with Tonbo-Ohger?

>>22643515
That said, you can probably recover from minor shit and some indiscretions. But shit like what Gai's actor pulled is impossible to come back from. Not even sure if he can even get anything beyond minimum wage once people check who he is.

>>22643159
Brrrrr I hope Mao will still appear as Luka again even if her schedule is possibly more tight than Yuki Yamada's.

>>22643838
She's playing a Sentai right now, at least

>>22643838
>possibly more tight than Yuki Yamada's
nah, Yamada is a mainstream actor, he's definitely more booked than Mao

>>22639910
I think the point of the scene is that neither side is 100% right or wrong and the best approach is to keep both kids and an adult audience in mind.

Rita is right in kids ARE smarter than you give them credit for, and it's a good idea to make something they can enjoy as an adult as well as a child rather than something that is so childish/simple there is nothing to come back to, but there are limits to how 'deepest lore' or complicated you make your show before it alienates them and loses interest and you shouldn't be afraid to be earnest and indulge in being a show with children as its primary audience.

>>22643444
>>22643450
>>22643460

Yeah they did eventually find her decades later, but for the show she just flat out never showed up at filming one morning without a word and when they went to check in on her whole place had been cleaned out and there was no trace of her anywhere.

>>22643515
>>22643554

Kobayashi lost his major boy band role but he claimed he was gonna leave soon anyway, and he did apologize so he's still active on social media, still in good graces with the Gaim cast etc. Gai's life is over. Even if he gets out of Jail he'll have to leave Japan and go to a place where nobody knows who he is to have any kind of future.

>>22643511
Because he's the Kinoshita of Sentai.

Almost finished with Kyoryuger, originally started it cause of the 2 crossover episodes of King-Ohger.
Suprised with how much I liked all of the cast. Daigo's a pretty charismatic red, and even with the redwank (Which wasn't as bad as I heard it would be) the other characters stood out pretty well.
Favourite is definitely Nossan and his puns.What they did with Torin and the Villain group are pretty good too.

>Frozen Minnogan was already used for Vs. Kyoryuger
Is there any lingering plot threads left for them to use for the plot of Vs. Boomboonger?

>>22644414
Kyoryuger is a fun season all around, it's just that the King wank goes too far sometimes and Amy is pretty meh.

Will Donbros 10YA answer what happened to DonKiller and DonKillerKiller?

>>22644469
You'll get an implied sex scene between Taro and Haruka instead.

>>22644426
To this day I'm bitter about <s>King soloing Deboss.</s> Of all the criticisms of Kyoryuger, THIS is the one thing I find inexcusable.

>>22644475
and funny how they made the final boss of the king-ohger crossover be killed by only the reds too lmao

>>22644426
>>22644475
I don't give a FUCK about King wank, the final fight is raw kino.

>Daigo
>Mana
>Haruto
Which one was worse?

>>22644475
I don't mind that much since everyone got their time to shine on the final arc, Black got the best scene.

>>22644540
I'm not shitposting, he's said shit on Twitter that has pissed off Sentai fans, like complaining about the obligatory mecha fights.

Man the first half was pretty neat, but when the show got it's tone shift it became weird, then Big One came and the show improved for a while but the last episodes I was thinking: What the hell am I watching? And then I get a 2 part final arc and the show ends.

>>22644756
The audiences wanted more Goranger, didn't get that at the start, then the staff molded it back basically into Goranger but the damage was already done. Took Spider-Man getting a mech for Toei to try doing Sentai again.

Just watched Kingohger Vs Kyoryuger and both Himeno and Amy had a part where I just though "I know these are your face actors not your stunt actors.... but is that really the best take of that you could get?"

>>22643890
Yamada is booked more, but Mao has a tight schedule to the point where she basically has no social life (she does seem to be introverted anyway). According to her, her day is basically get up, go to work aka recording for gajillions of anime, and then do some radio shows, get back home, play gacha games while taking a bath and that's it.

>>22643455
God that's depressing, I always knew him first as the Demon Wizard dude from Kitamura's Versus which was his first outing alongside other nowadays well known toku alumni

>>22644683
He's not wrong about the obligatory mecha fights

There was also a Worm crossover that was alright for, you know, a Worm crossover

>>22639563
Now that sounds like a fun crossover, the Geahs in the Wormverse(s). You just reminded me that I should read the Worm sequel.

But first I have to find a good Worm recap to recall everything I've forgotten...

>>22639566
It was the typical "Taylor gets [X Power] in the locker", with her getting a Ruji Jingu Bang relic
But also, most Geah characters had counterparts in the Wormverse that were closer to their AU counterparts in XDU, Taylor became friends with Serena who survived instead of Maria<s> and Taylor's mom was Fine</s>

You can tell that Tsubasa is a real cocknnoisseur. Eh?

>>22639547
there is nothing Sturgeon's Law applies to more than fanfiction

>>22640454
thinking about it an AU where Sonnet survived would probably be even more angsty for Chris considering that she either
>spent a good chunk of her life thinking she was dead and now has to reconnect with her
or
>had to see her mom undergo the same kind of doujinshi-tier nonstop rape as her (and probably more than in canon, their owners would've made a killing whoring out a mother-daughter combo)
<s>on the bright side, being Chris' boyfriend in the latter scenario means you're very likely to get loads of oyakodon</s>

>>22640469
oh, I forgot to mention for the second part
>her and her mom finally get rescued from starring in an ugly bastard rape doujin
>5 minutes later she gets kidnapped by a fucking supervillainess who uses magic to rape her in various doujin ways (fucking her with a magic futa cock, giving her a magic futa cock and reverse raping her, tentacles, etc)

>>22640469
>>22640477
But Chris already has a boyfriend, her name is Hibiki Tachibana. Plus I don't think Fine would want Chris' mom for anything, so instead her role would be of trying to find her daughter by any means she can, eventually leading her to contact SONG

>>22640486
well, yes, I never said Sonnet would get kidnapped and magic raped by Fine too
I just meant "Chris deals with even worse sex slavery than canon and then gets Fine'd"

>>22640468
Great, now Kirika had to go back to her own dimension for 90 days.

>>22639550
>fapfics
That one fapfic about Chris getting god-mode powers was pretty damn good if you don't mind excessive amounts of titty.

>>22639547
also, thinking about it
I'm surprised that there aren't more crossovers with KR Hibiki specifically
>obvious name connection
>music/sound powers

>>22640544
ah yes, the game that people gave you shit for liking because you picked a good game over a trash game made by trash devs

>>22640578
I wasn't aware ANYONE liked Forspoken. Didn't the studio immediately shut down?

>>22640582
>I wasn't aware ANYONE liked Forspoken.
I know one guy on /v/ loves it but I feel he only defends it because Forspoken was made byt he FFXV team

>Didn't the studio immediately shut down?
like 3 months after the game died. Like it died before the DLC came out

>>22640588
>I know one guy on /v/ loves it
He is, without question, shit posting.

>>22640168
Usually the cat wins since nature made it overpowered but you can give the rooster a fighting chance by giving it some third world Linker (drugs+a blade at their feet like they do in cockfighting)

>>22639561
Isn't suffering the entire point of Muv Luv? And most fanfics have the Geahs acting OOC.

>>22640615
Muv Luv is more about finding meaning and little islands of hope in the ocean of suffering. Kinda like real life

>>22640469
>on the bright side, being Chris' boyfriend.
And a target for angst in case you get killed. Last season XV did not hold back for making Tsubasa the punching bag as bad since the 1st season, so in your little AU there is a risk of that happening.

>>22640615
at this point muv luv isn't about anything because only the original trilogy has a consistent message
whenever I look at what their latest gacha attempt is doing, it just makes me realize how good XDU actually was.

Hibiki is for Miku
Chris is for Tsubasa
Gaybies have each other
Maria worst girl and sluts around and will die alone.
Anything else is wrong. I don't make the rules.

>>22640654
I feel like each fanbase of a franchise should only be allowed one "Let's collectively pretend this doesn't exist"-card in order for the meme to remain effective, which is a real problem when you've had 4 gacha games in 10 years.

>>22640640
Evil bloodthirsty vampire must pay.

>>22640640
look man if it means getting to plow Chris (and potentially her mom) at least a few times before I go, I'm willing to take getting fridged

>>22640676
Severe financial penalties shall come unto you.

>>22640693
But she's both homeless and jobless

>>22640694
Well she should of thought of that to start with, now she's all that on top of having a negative credit score.

>>22640695
gotta make her a single mom in order to make her finances even worse

>>22640695
Perhaps she can pay in other ways...

>>22640697
Depending on the state that might actually improve matters. That's a lot of loopholes and credit options for single parents.

>>22640658
So long as Kazanari Tsubasa exists Maria will die surrounded by food and friends

>>22640713
>So long as Kazanari Tsubasa exists Maria will die
Why would you say that?

>>22640615
No. The point, just like magical girls, is to find the hope in the midst of despair. The entire first trilogy is about working to achieve your happy ending, which many times can be so far away it can't even be seen. But it's the purpose of a hero to work for that.

Chris is the only straight Geah<br>The others keep her around to keep the gay levels down in public

>>22640864
Why was she blushing so much when she was with Basa near the end of G then

>>22640864
Of course, all that Val Verde dicking set her on the straight path. Other geahs did not get proper education like that.

>>22640687
>Accepts whatever fate that the universe throws at you.
Weak. I thought for a moment we were in /m/

>>22640804
Man,the ending of Alternative was really something, huh. I would not call the ending hopeful, but rather one of acceptance of loss and moving forward...which is the most practical one can have in real life.
Hope came to humanity at the cost of the hero's personal losses that in the great scheme of things is a small price to pay.

A real japanese HERO

>>22640929
It's a very Japanese ending, basically suffering for the greater good

>>22641057
>It's a very Japanese ending, basically suffering for the greater good

Yeah, I played a game where the main character killed himself to stop the badguy and his magic plague. Sad but well done ending.

THEN A FUCKING DLC MADE IT POINTLESS BECAUSE A BIGGER BADGUY (who wasn't a badguy before that DLC came out) BASICALLY GOES "JUST AS PLANNED"

>>22641067
Funny you should say that, the Muv Luv studio was planning to release something like that but they fucked up with so many gachas and bad anime adaptations that it's probably never seeing the light of day

>>22641033
>4Kids Symphogear
Doomed from the start since naked Biki is in the OP.
I actually rewatched S1 recently to see if my normalfag anime enjoying but fan-service hating friends would be able to handle it or not think I'm a complete weirdo for loving this show and the conclusion I reached is "no", mostly because of Fine.

>>22641198
they're just gonna cover them up with baggy tracksuits during all the transformation and undergear sequences

>>22641198
I loved S1, despite the fanservice, not because of it, tbfh

>>22641201
Is this the so called "cute and funny"?

>>22641225
I'm in the same boat. I don't have a bone to pick with fanservice, but trying to look at the show through the eyes of someone who are pretty surface level and I think the whole package is just a bit too much. Between Fine groping and her boob armor, a pretty decent amount of naked girls, a pretty the outlandish premise with insert songs and sometimes completely over the top parts like Kanade forcing the gear or pic rel.
Which is a shame because I still think the characters and arcs are phenomenal and punch well above the weight class. I love the show but I don't think my friends would, at least not until they get deeper into the medium.

>>22641238
S1 was just way too fucking weird. People are really put off by it.

>>22641198
Anon, they'd change the opening to a shitty but catchy song that describes the premise and some random clips of the show

>>22641238
Basa's Swan Song was kino though.
It's more like the random shots like pic related that can kind of throw you off if you're not used to anime fanservice

>>22641263
the parts that got comments for me were miku and hibiki bathing together

>>22641274
Yeah, they gay
Keep scrolling

>>22641277
unfortunately the person i showed it to knew irl lesbians so it was not a happy thing

>>22641277
>What are you looking at?
>Keep scrolling

>>22641071
I just don't get how you can attempt gacha 4 times and still not produce a product that at least appeals to your core audience. Their newest game already has worse sales than XDU did after 6+ years.
When the previews came out and they brought up that the characters would travel between worlds, I thought they had finally learned and were going to use an aspect of the writing that has been with the franchise from the start correctly, or at the very least rip off FGO. Instead they barely do anything at will with the idea and every event is them sitting around on their ship and dressing like whores for fun. Just the lowest effort money farm possible.
Just in year 1 XDU had a story about how Kanade survived instead of Tsubasa, how Serena got cryofrozen and ends up all alone, a timeline where Miku has to go and save an edgy version of the main character, and a world where Genjuro actually ends up beating Fine into submission. Yet they have muv luv, an IP with actual world building out the ass, and they can't come up with anything.

>>22641290
You know what they say about lightning and bottles. Only they actually had the technique for catching lightning down pretty well since they made MULTIPLE good VNs. And then they just kinda stopped. Probably due to losing key staff

>>22641242
S1 is nevertheless the best season

>>22641325
That's fine too, though I liked the slower pacing in S1 more

>>22641242
I wouldn't call S1 weird when other seasons after it exists but comparatively to other anime yeah it's pretty out there.

When did Maria and Tsubasa become friends anyway

>>22641362
They're basically the same person

>>22641362
When they had a moment alone in the locker room

>>22641325
G has Maria and wheelchair mom therefore S1 is instantly better.

>>22641389
the brainrot has spread here...

>>22641382
All the gears are jobbers, Maria is just the best at jobbing

>>22641391
I just stole it from Twitter
And some guy was saying that Sukuna could beat Hibiki in base form

>>22641394
>I'm the best at what I do but what I do isn't very nice

>>22641395
>Base form
Like when she's not in her gear? Because even then she can fucking punch a sandbag off of a tree.

>>22641413
Base Gear, I think
But let's be honest
Sukuna's not getting past Genjuro

>>22641395
now that's a fun comparison. JJK is a pretty low-power setting as far as anime is concerned, but so is Symphogear. None of the gears have anything as destructive as Sukuna's pocket nuke, so the guess might not be as far-fetched as it seemed. Most of the really impressive gear feats come from combination attacks

>>22641414
>goes from skinny to swole as fuck in 2 years
>can stop Tsubasa's blade dive with one punch
>almost solos the final boss who merged with a complete relic by himself, only stopped because he got duped by a voicetrick
>has zero explanations for being able to do any of this beyond eating, watching movies, and sleeping
>is a father figure to everyone
>refuses to elaborate further
>gets written off into the sidelines

>>22641414
genjuro is far stronger than gears in raw strength, but he's mundane only, any magic fucks him up

>>22641416
Hibiki would win against the entire JJK cast because her s1 catchline was about how she thinks that she is cursed

>>22641427
I mean we know he's nowhere close to Amalgam gears, who in turn should be weaker than their Arc-drive gears

>>22641416
I don't read Bleach for zoomers but I don't think anyone's done anything on the scale of blowing up that chunk of the moon at the end of S1

>>22641382
Raising a dog and a concert-going vamp is not an easy job.

>>22641426
>>22641511
ah, so he's the Vergilius of the group

>>22641490
It's sort of a running theme.

>>22641435
That was the main bad guy's ultimate satellite cannon built up over years (centuries?) For the specific purpose of blowing up the moon. I wouldn't call that a character feat. Speed-wise JJK is ahead, Hax-wise as well, and power-wise the Gears outperform every single JJK cast member barring the top 2 or 3 that are head and shoulders above everyone else. Right now the Manga is in what appaears to be the final battle and the main baddy just used his strongest technique, which is basically a 200m radius thermobaric bomb. High-tier characters also have pretty high-power regeneration (regrow limbs and internal organs, even heal brain damage to a certain point) . Strength-wise, we've seen casually throwing cars and throwing people through multiple concrete buildings. Pretty sure Gears can also do that. Been a while since I watched any of the fights, but I don't recall base form being too strong, although that's partly because 90% of the time enemies are just punching bag noise fodder. Tsubasa can split buildings with her big sword attacks and Chris has some big missiles but she never really evaporates a city block (because she doesn't want to, but still)

>>22641542
misaka misaki is NOT a real pairing, delet this

Dumb crossover idea
Kingdom Hearts
The Heartless destroy the Symphogear World and spread the Geahs across many worlds
Hibiki ends up in Traverse Town and accompanies Sora while trying to gather her friends
<s>Kirika ends up in Castle Oblivion where she irritates Marluxia by constantly asking him for tips on Grim Reaper symbolism</s>

>>22641728
Listen, the geahs can fight God, but fighting The Mouse is a bit too much, best not to mess with that

>We have a problem, the trash in Tsubasa's room has finally come alive and is currently trying to eat Kiri-chan

>>22641795
Time for Kiri to awaken her Giver powers

>>22641941
>Kiribati
Is Kirika ruling her own country?

>>22642157
Maria told her if she didn't stop Kiribating she'd have Tsubasa buy a city and name it that to shame her

>>22641582
Consider: Raildex x Symphogear crossover

>>22642196
Can Imagine Breaker destroy Hibiki's Kamigoroshi?

>>22642196
That would be a very ambitious crossover.

>>22642226
They got a Code Geass crossover? Maybe I should watch Raildex...

>>22641502
but Kanade and Basa were always gentle with each other
maybe Maria is just a hardass

>>22642358
>but Kanade and Basa were always gentle with each other

>>22642367
look at the gentle way she flicks Basa's forehead compared to that gorilla Ukranian woman

>>22642427
Kanae knows the best flicks are the gentlest.

>>22642427
Tsubasa was the one that asked to get her insides rearranged

I'M JUST GONNA SAY IT<br>TSUBASA AND MARIA HAVE ZERO CHEMISTRY AND ARE A SHIT PAIRING

>>22642549
I'm just gonna say it
You're a faggot and I bet you lick goats.

>>22642550
If goats is an acronym for Chris's fat milkers then yeah.

What's the lore behind Hibiki adding a midriff window to her suit between G and GX? Doesn't she get cold?

Can any of the Autoscorers drive? Or perhaps could any of them drive in a safe and road-legal way?

>>22642758
Leiur and Phara for sure. Garie can't park or dive manual, Micha and Tiki somehow end up killing more people than when they are intentionally harvesting human souls. No clue about the XDU robot.

Bonus, Carol knows how to drive perfectly but her loli form can't reach the wheel or the pedals and her adult form keeps getting pulled over by thirsty cops

>>22642242
If you can stomach random haremshit/bad comedy interludes every so often, the novels are pretty good. The powerlevels get really stupid though.

>>22642758
Realistically, there's no point when you can teleport.

>>22642785
How are they suppose to cruise for tail?

Anyone have that meme pic of Tsubasa treating the gaybies?

>Tsubasa, come quickly! They showed Kirika and Shirabe Super Size Me in Health Class and now Kirika is destroying all the fast food I was gonna eat for breakfast!

Maria comes to a startling realization.jpg

>>22641552
>That was the main bad guy's ultimate satellite cannon built up over years (centuries?) For the specific purpose of blowing up the moon. I wouldn't call that a character feat.
I was referring to Fine having a crazy bitch moment and yoinking that one part of the moon with her chain and the Gears having to fly into space to destroy iy

>>22643229
I know, but I still couldn't stop laughing

>>22643198
>implying Shirabe wouldn't want to slightly super size herself

>>22642739
She worked hard on her tummy and wants to show off.

>>22643198
>Tsubasa, come quickly!
Oh Maria, I always come quickly!

>>22643393
>Tsubasa, I'm serious, she's already destroyed all the Mcdonald's and is going for the Burger Kings!

>>22643381
Shirabe went out for McDonald's cause the film gave her a craving for it
She didn't think leaving Kirika alone for an hour or so would cause too much trouble

>>22643488
I love Nanoha but she's nowhere near the top of the Mahou Shoujo food chain. Hibiki might scale better with her God killing power but I don't think she's the strongest either.

>>22643565
nanoha powerlevels are quite low, which is one of the parts that makes it good. nanoha is tops in terms of mentality

>>22643567
Oh for sure. Nanoha is my second favorite Mahou Shoujo (only behind Sakura Kinomoto). I'm just aware of her limits. I love that Nanoha is never shy to rodeo with foes that are way stronger than her. She gives me a Captain America vibe.

>>22643658
good comparison, nanoha is very cap-esque
>no, you move

>>22643565
Yeah, I thought so too, but I just stole the pic, I didn't make it
"The most /m/ Mahou Shoujo in history vs the most /m/ Mahou Shoujo of today" would be better, I think

>>22643658
>never shy to rodeo with foes that are way stronger than her
that's like every mahou shoujo ever

>>22643565
Hibiki theoretically has an incredibly high power ceiling due to Symphogears being asspull machines, not that it matters since we will never see a symphogear that has all its functions unlocked.

> Flight
> Beam spam
> AI sidekick

Forget cap. Nanoha is Iron Man.

>>22643934
I shudder at the thought of Raising Heart getting her own body.

>>22643937
she already did in force complete with blades on the end so she can stab anybody who would try to backstab nanoha

>>22643804
I get your point but few are as Gung Ho about it as Nanoha is. She doesn't need to iron herself up to jump into the fray like many other magical girls. She does it with gusto.

>>22643940
Yeah, I know. I was talking about Jarvis turning into Vision.

>>22643947
Nanoha lives in the Japanese bubble economy

Imagine Nanoha pinning OG Shemmy's arm down and nailing her in the face and getting a single drop of blood before Shemmy beats the shit out of her.

>>22643947
Nanoha is similar to Iron Man in her powerset and her use of increasingly cooler equipment. But the military setting, color coding and Paragon presence makes me think of Cap.

Also she's big on shields.

>>22643952
i'm going to imagine nanoha fingering her cunt instead

>>22643954
>Military setting
I only watched the firdt Nanoha and do not remember this at all, does the setting get more interesting?

>>22643955
Nanoha would never cheat on Fate, delete this

>>22643958
go watch a's and strikers right now

>>22643952
>Chris: what is she doing?
>Nanoha: Sakura-san? Everything okay?
>Sakura: I've explored all possible outcomes to see if we can win against this Shemm-ha
>Chris: how many have you seen?
>Sakura: fourteen billion
>Nanoha: in how many do we beat her?
>Sakura: one

>>22643965
> Spare her life, and I'll give you the stone.

>>22643972
a's is season 2 and strikers is season 3
there are also companion manga and audio dramas called sound stages for each season including the 1st but the only really important parts of those are some extra fate backstory from season 1 which got adapted into movie 1st

don't watch any of the other movies until you watch the original, they fuck up the story

>>22643976
So when do I watch the movies?

>>22643977
After you watch the TV show preferably. The movies are pretty good as reinterpretation/recaps but leave a lot of good stuff from their TV season counterparts (specially the second one).

>>22643977
movie 1st is an accetapble but not perfect replacement for s1, since you already watched s1, you should go ahead and watch it. then watch the 2 main anime seasons, then you can go into further content if you still like the series. the movies are very pretty but not as good as the original.

for spinoffs, the vivid manga is good but very spotty in quality with lots of filler. vivid strike is pretty meh, the force manga is fucking awful so much so it got canned and the author got shoved on something they couldn't fuck up, an unnecessary manga adaptation of s1

>>22643980
>>22643981
Guess I should watch the 1st movie to recap the show since it's been a couple years

>>22643981
I recommend FORCE if you get to like StrikerS. I's not as bad as people say (main issue people have with it is mostly superfluous stuff like making a male boy the new central character of the season). If you end up not liking StrikeS then you can safely skip since FORCE is more of the same only in a darker tone.

>>22644002
>not as bad as people say
>terrible arbitrary powerlevels
>enemies who have as much moral fiber as noble red
>NAKED GIRLS NAKED GIRLS NAKED GIRLS
>the literal side squad of an entire harem anime cast complete with more NAKED GIRLS NAKED GIRLS NAKED GIRLS
no

only good things about force were the designs, iris, and the villain who was just kind of a dick, he was entertaining

>>22644007
>>NAKED GIRLS NAKED GIRLS NAKED GIRLS
I thought you were naming negatives

>>22644010
it's all about how they're used, it's completely tasteless

>>22643952
Imagine having sex with Shemmy

>>22644007
>Shocked about nudity in Nanoha of all places
So you haven't watched any of the seasons, I assume.

>>22644020
either retarded or shitposting either way shut the fuck up

>>22644011
ViVid is way worse in that aspect.

>>22644023
that's also true, but vivid has actual plot kicking in

>>22644025
Not really? ViVid and FORCE were supposed to run together and there were obvious connections building up but when FORCE was canned ViVid entered a stage of aimlessness until they settled for setting up the next anime (Vivid Strike) and rushed the whole gym thing.

>>22644028
the real plot is the olivie flashbacks and <s>einhart learning to smile</s>, the latter is one of my favorite moments in nanoha

>>22644030
That was cute, ngl.

As for FORCE you can accuse it of many thing but lack of plot is definetely not one of those. The narrative had a clear aim and part of the problem is that it was trying to many new things that some fans felt alienated. I for once felt bad about not getting to see <s>Hades' endgame</s> unfold.

Well anons, I caved in and started A's. Already spotted Maria and Prelati in the opening. Quick question though, I'm watching the [Fete Rider] release and noticed it has two variants of english subs, "localized" and "Unlocalized". What's the difference?

>>22644179
Daaaaammnn, I just remembered this and the OP song the other day. It has no business of being a decent show for an essentially a car ad.

>>22645041
It was weird, right? Like the brooms KIND of look car...ish and there's a few background shots of Subarus in the background but nothing in screams cars. It was just a nice story about friendship and astronomy.

>>22645011
idk i just all subs to kinda be ass, i listen to the words

>>22645077
so kind of like rinne no lagrange but without a totally epic second season (hope you read the season 1.5 manga or else you won't know who this new character is haha) to ruin it

>>22644790
Chris is everyone's property (her hippie parents would be proud)

>>22644790
Maria’s feeling it a bit too much

>Attack names are Black Sabbath and Blue Murder Flame
>Pre-evo's attack names include Metallica Edge, Deep Purple Flame and Blitzkrieg Bop
Perfect for Chris
Get It?
Cause Chris also uses band names for her attacks...

>>22641263
It's just meant to show Tsubasa getting her ass beat. It's not fanservice

>>22645578
They shouldn't draw it in a suggestive angle then.

>>22645578
That entire scene is her revelling in how much it matters to her that she's fighting Nehustan right now and ended with her revealing Chris was trapped in her shadow bind. They just randomly showed her fat ass to the camera for no reason whatsoever.

>>22645578
>closeup vulva shot isn't fanservice
okay retard

>>22645581
>>22645586
>>22645589
The scene is about Tsubasa feeling ashamed she couldn't prevent Nehushtan from being stolen back then and how she's unable to get it back now. It makes sense to focus on her butt to show her feelings of humiliation here.

>>22645591
do you not understand how perverted that souunds

>>22645592
That's just how art is, though

>>22645591
>It makes sense to focus on her butt to show her feelings of humiliation here
Dude, just pick a doujin, any doujin and you'll see how you just fell into the hole by yourself.

Kids are still interested in mecha today and its entirely thanks to Lego and Ninjago

What do you have to say, /m/?

>>22639055
I used to build hangars for my Gundams out of Legos, though I never had enough pipes for railing or grey bricks.

>>22639055
great? come back to me in 10~20 years when those same kids are manchildren now and if they're still mecha fans, I'd be surprised

>>22639055

Cool. But we need 50-episode animated works. Then we'll see if having children getting into mecha through Lego is worth it.

>>22639090
>we need 50-episode animated works

Lol, why? More episodes ≠ more betterer. What a bizarre measuring stick

>>22639055
Ninjago to SRW!!, if Bionicle cannot join SRW.

>>22639201

>>22639055
Kids don’t bother with legos. That has been the realm of adults for a while now.

Exo-force reference in one of the most recent sets!

I like the climber mech they've got out now it's way too expensive though

>>22639656
Yeah, manchildren shell out the big bucks, but Lego has, and probably always will, attract kids. Or at least the ones who haven't been turned into phone zombies by their parents.

>>22639287

Well, mecha to me need an appropriate amount of time for worldbuilding and resolving all story arcs. Problem is, modern-day anime are stuck having to do 12 episodes.

>>22639086
If the overlap between bionicle and mecha fans are anything to go by. I'd say chances are good.

>>22639055
Kids don't buy Lego because of giant robots. They buy giant robots because they're Lego.

>>22639090
Ninjago has 200+ episodes across multiple seasons along with a theatrical film.

>>22639658
Image search doesn't bring up anything, what's this from?

>>22639090
>>22640337
Ninjago was weirdly fucking huge among kids, I didn't really expect that. But were mechs really the selling point of it? I think it was the ninjas

>>22639656
>>22639687
It's like pokemon, it's for fat manchildren who never grew up but kids are still the main driving force of it. And adults are more into movie shit like Star Wars and other stuff, ninjago was for kids

>>22639890
the blind bag minifigures out right now have an ice planet figure (also an m-tron and blacktron)
you can scan the codes on the box to tell which one is inside

>>22639287
The point of having more episodes is to make the shows more part of people's lives. More of a routine for them. A single 13 episode show is forgotten as fast as it ears. But people who tin in for a show that lasts over a year build a connection to it. This isn't just about anime. It's a slight exaggeration but people will spend just as much time with their favorite sitcom character as they do their family.

>>22640809
Unless it's a show like that's been running non-stop for decades, an anime can only get 12 episode seasons in this day and age. And if the audience isn't hooked with just those 12 (or 24 if it was planned to have 2 cours from the start), no more seasons will be made.

>>22640809
Ninjago went on for a good long while, all that's left is to see zoomers grow up and if nostalgia will be able to be milked from them in the next 10 years
I'm a manchild but I never bothered to watch it because I don't want my Legos to talk

>>22640732
As the show went on, they started adding more mechs in each new season, I can only assume it was because they sold really well, doing a bit of research, it seems they've released 8 new mechs in 2024 alone. I guess they're less ninjas and more power rangers now.

>>22640809
>>22639717
Maybe if the series had a competent writer you wouldn't need 50 episodes to do the bare minimum. 24, 30 minute episodes is 12 hours of runtime, that's the same runtime as the extended LOTR. If a writer can't complete world building, story, and characters with that amount of time, that's a skill issue.

If the series was good you wouldn't need to "keep people hooked" by feeding them slop. They'd naturally rewatch it.

>>22641073
>They'd naturally rewatch it.
Hardcore fans rewatch things. Most people just move on when something ends.

>>22639055
Why the fuck are you happy of yet another generation of outbred to shit genetically degraded mouth breathing retards finding out about mechs? I'd rather have the entire genre die than let those SJW fuckwits inherit it.

Lego thread!
>>22641059
Lego did a survey in I think 2020/2021 that found that kids like mech and dragon sets the most, so they've been adding more mecha and dragons to the line. Personally I like the other sets (locations, planes, cars, and other vehicles) more but the focus on mecha has given us some pretty neat stuff like that transforming motorcycle and the recent battle pack-style mecha set.

>>22640434
Robot World Roller-Coaster Park
They added a bionicle reference too the motherfuckers lol

>>22641100
Retards like you are why the tumblrites took over mecha in the first place. They never cared about the robots, they cared about esoteric love triangles and gay head-canons.

Kids who are playing with Lego mechs, CARE ABOUT THE MECHS. If you gatekeep the audience that can put the genre back on track, you'll be stuck with your NuVoltron, gays-in-space shows.

>>22641073

What, you think Fang of the Sun Dougram and Armored Trooper VOTOMS weren't well-written because they were at 50+ episodes (75 for the former, 52 for the latter)?

>>22641304

Can't speak for the former, but VOTOM definitely struggled with its writing:

>Chirico has barely any motivation to do anything, 90% of the stories events are thrusted onto him and he just goes along with it.
>Uoodoo is mostly filler. Committing a heist/rescuing Chirico with barely any story development until the very end of the arch.
>side characters are mostly irrelevant after Uoodoo and somehow inexplicably catch up to Chirico repeatedly by pure coincidence.
>ancient ubermensch race suddenly added at the very end of the story with no buildup or foreshadowing.

I don't mean to rag on VOTOMS because there's still quite a few things I like about it, but if I'm gonna rewatch, its gonna be the ~12 or so episodes that were in the jungle and not the 50 episodes of mostly fluff.

>>22641073
You're not factoring in how much screen time time gets spent on mecha action scenes in Votoms and these longer mecha shows in general, which is the whole point of mecha anime.

>>22641352
"Filler" only exists in manga adaptations, as a means to give the mangaka time to write when both are ongoing. If an episode is mostly self contained instead of contributing to the larger narrative there isn't anything wrong with that, its a valid creative choice. The quality of the episodic scenarios are a relevant factor as well. I'm also skeptical of the idea that "proactive protagonists are the only good kind", it seems arbitrary and I've never heard a good justification for it.

>>22641352
I loved the Uoodoo arc of Votoms, but then I love future police too.
>>22641388
Yeah, shows like Ideon and G Dangaioh have bad reputations for not having ongoing stories or having too much "filler", but they're actually pretty good as episodic shows. I don't know why people in the anime community don't like episodic shows -- I guess it must be a minmaxing/speedwatching attitude and long shonen adaptations where nothing happens.

>>22641352

>Uoodoo is mostly filler. Committing a heist/rescuing Chirico with barely any story development until the very end of the arch.

You're right about Uoodo. As I said before in a VOTOMS thread, it wasn't that memorable to me. Comes off as a chore to go through whenever I rewatched it.

>ancient ubermensch race suddenly added at the very end of the story with no buildup or foreshadowing.

As for the Overmen, they're just the resolution as to why Chirico can survive real punishment. Though I also agree that they should have been foreshadowed better.

Ideally, a remake can fix these issues but we need something to justify making it a reality.

>>22641392
Votoms doesn't need a remake. The original show is great and all a remake will do is suck the soul out of it to make a consoomable product.

>>22641390
It's a false consciousness kind of thing - certain people read specific half baked pieces of literary theory that privileged focusing on the ongoing narrative over all else - uncritically accepted it as the "purpose" of literature, and then applied that to film because it has "writing" as well. Then people into anime picked it up. Then with enough people repeating the idea other people started to experience media through that lens and you got a socially constructed shift in standards - despite them having no real foundation. Some of it also comes from the ability to watch episodes of tv shows at any time - old shows weren't made with the expectation that everyone would catch every episode - the ongoing narrative was a bonus for the die hard fans, making each episode good as a stand alone was just as important if not more so.

>>22641393

But that's the reality: the anime has nothing to offer to modern day anime viewers, hence why Bandai Namco Filmworks/Sunrise have no love for it as a contrast to Gundam. Though truth be told, VOTOMS doesn't need much of a remake.

Another mecha anime I see that REALLY needed more episodes is Blue Comet SPT Lazyner. Yes, yes, Sanyo's faulty heaters prevented Layzner from reaching the actual episode count it was guaranteed as Sanyo was a sponsor but it still comes off unfair it'll never get the full conclusion it should have gotten back in the 1980s.

>>22641378
Why does that need to be sperate from the story? A good action scene should be telling you more about the story, the world, and its characters. If a writer can't do that, again that's a skill issue.

>>22641405
>>22641390
>>22641388
If the quality of these "self contained" episodes were such that it was fun to watch in its own, then it being filler wouldn't be the problem. In the case of VOTOMS the only episodes that I feel fulfill that requirement are when <s>Chirico and Fyana are stranded on a ship that is actively trying to trigger his PTSD</s> Uoodoo filler episodes by contrast are all pretty much:

>"ah heck, that asshole got himself captured again. I guess we'll go save him even though he seems to want nothing to do with us and barely reciprocates our sacrifices for him."

>>22641446
No, a good action scene should just be thrilling to watch and not do anything to break immersion - what it has to do with the narrative is a secondary bonus.

>>22641456
Right, that's a summary of what happens - but how about how the episodes were storyboarded, animated, choices made in the choreography, how dialogue choices communicate the personality of characters, whether or not the details of the rescue operation were well thought out or not ? I'm not saying there is nothing to criticize - but excessively narrative focused criticism ends up reducing very multifaceted pieces of art to wikipedia summaries.

>>22641284
I loved Bionicle's early years as a kid and tried to get back into it and somehow everywhere online got taken over by transgender people and advocates. Im sorry if this ruins the thread I'm just being objective as possible. Just let me have my cool balljointed lego robots how the fuck does that even happen. At least I still have throwbots and roboriders I guess.

>>22641388
I also agree that a protagonist doesn't have to be proactive to be good, but the show seemingly can't decide what to do with Chirico. The opening theme's lyrics seem to suggest that all Chirico wants is to be left alone and escape a past that haunts him, but the show actively contradicts this by saying that the only place he feels comfortable in is battle and activiely seeks it out.

The show then states that he does have a proactive goal which is to find proto one for no clear reason (I guess you could interpret it as love/lust but its still ambiguous), but he only actively pursues this goal once he's in the jungle. During Uoodo he barely makes any attempt.

Then finally at the end <s>he kills hundreds of soldiers, betrays the people who have done nothing but help him, all for the sake of tricking the demiurge so he can kill it (even though we don't know why he is so invested in doing so, I guess we can just assume its because its evil) /spoiler]</s>

>>22641489
Based, that's why as a parent, or even as regular Joe, you gotta protect kids from the activists and encourage them to enjoy hobbies. We could have great mecha again, but it does require bringing in new fans as much as kicking out the non-fans.

>>22641472
People are naturally more drawn to pretty visuals then they are to meticulously crafted stories. If you have to remind people to take the animation into account than it wasn't really worth noting in the first place.

>>22641514
Animation has much more to it than surface level prettyness though. The quality of the timing when it comes to creating tension and a sense of impact through use of antics, the sheer expressiveness that can come through unique effects patterns, the immersive qualities of the layouts and how the trajectories of motion are set up to create a sense of space and perspective, etc. Causal viewers will think that Demon Slayer is better animated than a Ghibili film because it has hyper saturated colors, CGI camera spam and particle effects everywhere, where very well animated anime will get passed over because they have a limited color palette, are less bombastic, and "look old". Votoms has quite a bit of notable work by Anime R and Studio Dove, two premier subcontractors. Toru Yoshida's work on it is particularly famous for the density of the effects animation and the complicated layouts he used.

>>22641496
I agree on some points, but there are some things that have been answered already. It's been a while since my last watch, so forgive me if some details are hazy.
>The opening theme's lyrics seem to suggest that all Chirico wants is to be left alone and escape a past that haunts him, but the show actively contradicts this by saying that the only place he feels comfortable in is battle and activiely seeks it out.
It's like smoking. A smoker knows it's bad for his health, but his body still feels the physical urge to do it, to return back to the state he had before, like an addiction. Chirico knows he should stop fighting, but deep down a part of him is still drawn to it.
>The show then states that he does have a proactive goal which is to find proto one for no clear reason (I guess you could interpret it as love/lust but its still ambiguous), but he only actively pursues this goal once he's in the jungle. During Uoodo he barely makes any attempt.
His goal apart from surviving was centered around Fyana from the beginning ever since he was sent on that mission to retrieve her body and then betrayed/imprisoned. He wanted to learn more about her and why people would go to such an extent to get rid of him, but he didn't have any leads to track her until closer to the end of Uoodo.
>ending spoiler
<s>Chirico had to kill god because he admitted to manipulating every aspect of fate and his past to bring him to that moment. Fighting him symbolizes Chirico fighting his own past. If somebody told me he was responsible for everything bad that happened to me and also put me through hellish wars, I'd want to kill him too.</s> The setup and execution could have been better, but I understand what they were going for there.

>>22641283
>>22641293
Not just Bionicle and Exo-Force, but I also see an Alien from Alien Conquest in the background too. It's a shame that most of these themes are forever going to be relegated to being background cameos in new sets while Lego continues to chase the "I want to build glorified model kits" AFOL audience and licenses, though, because I think it'd be cool to see Lego revisit these older themes with more modern building techniques and newer pieces
