Random Thoughts on Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger Episodes 2-3

Image
As said, I'll drop by random thoughts WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT. I decided not to devote myself to episode reviews. I can say that I find myself wanting to watch more Japanese stuff after an overdose of Korean stuff. I'll give my random thoughts on the two episodes and how I felt good in one and awkward in another. Credits to Dryed Mangoez for the images  Episode 2 introduces us to N'Kosopa (an anagram of Pasokon meaning PC) The first episode does leave a weird taste of sorts. I guess the crew behind Ohsama   Sentai King-Ohger decided to throw whatever they could, AM I RIGHT? We have King Racules Hastie who's practically Captain Ryuuya - a selfish douchebag with his own agenda. Except that Racules Hastie is far more obviously evil from his name to his attire, and his mannerisms. Was the guest role of Kohei Murakami in Avatar Sentai Donbrothers pretty much a foreshadowing? Though, this episode started to break my expectations and was a pretty pleasant surprise. N'Kosopa is...

1993: A Starting Year For Toei's Daring Direction?

Image
  It's been 30 years since 1993, right? I guess the 1990s can be filled with several daring turns for Toei Ltd. A rewatch of The Toys That Made Us episode about the Power Rangers franchise is there. Yes, that episode featured Toei executives, the origins based on some Japanese show (and I believe the budget got that high hence higher royalty fees), and how I still feel 1993 was a champion year for Toei's bank account . Now, it's time to do another rant which I feel doing with Toei's daring direction. Yes, we've got a lot of stuff going on! Janperson: Serve the public trust, protect the innocent, uphold the law The Kamen Rider series was pretty much on a halt. Yes, only a movie called Kamen Rider ZO came out on April 14, 1993, of that year. The now-defunct but never forgotten Metal Hero series started to experment on new stuff in the early 1990s. That's all before the formula started to return back to the Metal Heroes vs. Monster of the Week. We had the Rescue Po...

First Impressions On Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger

Image
Right now, I feel like I'm actually GLAD that we're not having another Dinosaur Sentai (the fourth one, Kishinryu Sentai Ryusoulger is FORGETTABLE IMHO). However, it seems Toei Ltd. may have been making yet another unofficial sequel for Saban Entertainment huh? After giving Knights of Tir Na Nog a "sequel" in Kamen Rider Saber (and no, I refuse to count Ryusoulger in) - I guess they're giving it with Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger. As said, I'll just do updates here when I feel like it (though I'm now enjoying more stuff on Netflix). The first episode barely scratches the surface... yet. We don't know much about how the four monarchs of the respective countries operate.  All we know is that Himeno is pretty much like Lili Roquefort in the  Tekken  series. Her status as a yellow ranger though reminds me of Summer Landsdown who had a butler. I wonder if her butler will survive though since the one from Power Rangers RPM wasn't too fortunate.  Rita Kanisuk...
