My Current Impression on ToQGer

For me ToQger is one show that may or may not have a glimmer of hope.  Okay I'll admit that I'm not really enjoying it, I expected more from Utsnonomiya as a producer but, apparently the whole show is what I'll call, "I don't like it but I respect it for the sake of the other fans."  For Yasuko Kobayashi, I really think she really needs a break considering she's burnt out during Gobusters.  On hte other hand, I do have a feeling I might be able to tolerate this show like I did with Kamen Rider Kiva.  On the other hand, I feel like the show may actually fit in a new generation of Sentai fans.  The cast is lively and for one, may actually click with the new audience.


The idea of imagination power of changing colors is fun.  So I started tot hink that the show itself has potential for kids.  Yes kids, they are the primary target for Super Sentai.  But I would admit that Yasuko Kobayashi tends to suck at comedy (she did succeed with Shinkenger) but here, she's probably burnt out and needs a break.  The writing team for me isn't helping either- Shou Aikawa though he wrote Blade, also wrote Boukenger a show I'm starting to get indifferent about.  Akatsuki Yamatoya tends to also write pretty weird episodes as well (ex. Mr. Brown).  I just thought that the show could have been in better hands with Naruhisa Arakawa as either a primary or secondary writer.  I mean the Kobayashi/Arakawa/Takegami team really rocked in Megaranger.  Hopefully Kobayashi will get some decent help.


The team up with Gaim was done better than that of the Shinkenger/Decade crossover.  It shows what a Kamen Rider/Supre Sentai should be in future installments.  I would say that I love the crossover.  So maybe I'm indifferent with ToQGer but it doesn't mean I hate it.  On the other hand, I am starting think Gobusters may be better than this show.


Having a former Shadow Liner as a sixth ranger is a nice concept.  Hopefully they will be able to expand him more.

For ToQGer, maybe I don't like it, maybe I will like it but let's hope it will really create a better impression.  Unlike Kyoryuger with its cast which I find obnoxious or the Gobusters being blank faced, it looks like Sentai will meet a new generation change for the better.  Hopefully newer writers will come to fill fresh blood for the genre.
