Sean Akizuki's Super Sentai Blog

I guess it's only normal to feature water-featured episodes because it's time for Super Sentai's summer episodes. The history of the Ryusoul Tribe gets expanded into both land-dwellers and sea-dwellers though I doubt it there'd be air-dwellers. This episode is written by Ayuri Shimo -- the same person who wrote the episode relating to being careful about what thou wishest for . The start of the episode doth show Gachileus' uttermost cruelty. He considereth Creon to have been expended. Though Creon doth seem to have some potential as he's not easily destroyed. Gachileus shattereth Creon, he turns into slime then he assembles himself back. Meanwhile, the Ryusoulgers are with Oto at where they're currently residing in. So I wonder do the Ulshades well let the Ryusoulgers board for free or what? Do the Ryusoulgers even do regular work to pay rent? Just then Canaro showeth up and trieth to take his younger sister Oto back to where they came from. The...

Well, I've reached half of Denziman. Rather than do a batch review of episodes -- I decided to do this kind of rant because I'm currently trying to focus on Kamen Rider Zi-O (trying to wrap it up) and Ryusoulger (weekly episodes though I may soon focus on other newer stuff soon). So here's my thoughts on Denziman which is pretty much from the pre-Hirohisa Soda and pre-Takeyuki Suzuki era. The main characters If you're watching some old school then learn to cut some slack. If not, you might as well not watch every old school Tokusatsu series if you feel you have a generation gap. In my case, shows from the 80s can still click with me in contrast to the way older shows. So, what's with the characters? It's obvious that everyone has their colors written over their names. The names are Ippei AKAgi (red), Daigoro Oume (blue), June KIyama (yellow), Tatsuya MIDOrikawa (green), and Akira MOMOi (pink). What's more interesting is that the red ranger's surnam...

I usually don't feel like saying or even agreeing with statements like " Lost Galaxy is better than Gingaman ." or even " Gingaman is better than Lost Galaxy ." -- I just felt like wanting to write this ramble regarding Flashman and Lost Galaxy  after some time. I did remember getting fascinated by Lost Galaxy's actually daring direction (before I decided to drop Power Rangers off my leisure list due to circumstances behind it, especially with the Disney and Neo-Saban fiascos) as the series doesn't take place on Earth. Then I thought one series that took place in 1986 actually started to get my attention more, namely Choshinsei Flashman . I still remember my Old Shame fanfiction where I just kept writing stupid stuff while relying on some synopses and summaries over the Internet (many of which contain factual errors). Boy, did I get a lot of stuff wrong about Flashman too! Lost Galaxy on its own can be a fun series for some viewers. Talk about Powe...

Well, it's time for another episode of Ryusoulger. This week, it's written by good ole Naruhisa Arakawa. If thou noticest (if ever you're an old school fan) you may notice some references from the 90s here. But before that -- the focus is on the Mosa Rex and the conflict within the Ryusoul Tribe.  Kanaro is still in the land in search of a bride. So why is finding a bride for him on land that important? Is their side of the land ahem water already endangered or what? He then useth his water telepathy to talk to the ride of Ryugu Castle.  He talketh with his younger sister Oto (who's 109 years old in human years) is also looking for a husband. Kanaro says, "But thou art still a child!" to his younger sister Oto. I just thought about how the Ryusoulgers are 200+ years old but look very young. My theory is that they age every 100 years so the Ryusoul Elder (who's still missing) must be at least 600 to 900 years old then! Hmmm I wonder how do the...

Well, it's GoGoFive's 20th year for the past few months now, isn't it? So I thought I might do a bit of picking my top ten episodes for this series. It's been 20 years and I thought GoGoFive still deserves its tribute as "Doing Fiveman right." with the Tatsumi family. Now, I'd like to pick my top ten favorite episodes. The show's so badass so it's hard to rank them so be patient with all the hasty choices, okay? 10. Rescue Activity Suspended (Mission 8) This episode features about learning from one's mistakes. Lightspeed Rescue did add a bonus by trying to replace the Lightspeed Rescue Rangers with robots. Kenji Inui ( who I wish was acted by Hiroshi Miyauchi ) appears as the rival of Dr. Mondo Tatsumi. Hmmm, can you imagine if Winspector's captain met face-to-face with a Super Sentai team? I just love how this episode shows that rivals too can be best friends. I also wish Mami Yamasaki from Winspector were the secretary alongside Inui...

Well, the summer episodes of Ryusoulger (and there's NO SUMMER BREAK ) has officially started. Does it look like we're getting a beach episode soon? It's the time to introduce Ryusoul Gold the sixth member. I remembered one of Kyoryuger's weak points (that is for me) was that the sixth ranger appeared too early. I was expecting him to appear with at least episode 17 or something. But it looks like we're getting an arc before he officially joins the team!  The beginning of the episode has a summer transition going on or is it? A new villain named Gachireus appears to where the Druidons are currently hiding. This causes Wizeru to disappear -- leaving Creon with a newer, crueler higher up! Did Gachireus got sent by a higher-up we are yet to see and yet to reveal himself or herself? The Ryusoulgers discuss the legend of Urashima Taro. The story was a Japanese fisherman who ended in Ryugu Castle for a long time. Time ran slower so when he returned back to o...
