Kyoryuger Scans Galore
So yeah I'm a bit late on these, but here are the scans from the Juuden Sentai Kyoryuger first quarter toy catalog.
I won't be translating these seeing as how I don't know Japanese, but translations have emerged on some other sites. My personal feeling is that I love these designs. I didn't really like the suits when the first grainy images appeared, but the designs have grown on me a lot. The changer being a revolver is something that I just adore, and can't wait to get my hands on the toy. I personally plan on getting pretty much anything that comes with those batteries, and you can expect reviews on everything I get related to Kyoryuger.
Newsy, news, news... kinda
So this post is all about whats going to be happening in the next couple days.
- First on the discussion list is that I have officailly cancelled my Let's Play of Kingdom Hearts 2. Trying to film it was getting tedious, and the viewer base was very low, so I decided to just go ahead and stop doing that.
- Second on the list is that, yes I know about the Kyoryuger scans, but I was waiting until the majority had surfaced to post them here, so those, along with my thoughts will be up within the next few days.
- Next, I have decided to start doing reviews in the tokusatsu merchandise that I have, and will be getting in the future. these reviews will cover Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Power Rangers, and any other toys I find worthy of review. I'm going to start off this review schedule with S.H.Figuarts Gokai Green. and his review should be up tomorrow.
- And lastly, yeah I got very behind on the episode reviews, so from here on, I will skip to the current weeks episodes with Go-Busters episode 42 and Kamen Rider Wizard episode 14. Sorry, but there is just way too much of a back log and I just can't get to it all right now.

Episode Review: Go-Busters 24 & 25
For the sake of time(mostly my time), I'm going to combine 24 and 25 'cause they weren't too crazy important and I'm trying to get caught up as fast as possible.
Episode 24
So, this episode begins with Ryuji and Yoko wondering where Hiromu went with Nick. Gorisaki then gives them a pamphlet for a summer festival which Nick dropped. When they arrive they find Hiromu dressed like a clown again 'cause he's helping his high school performer club friends who somehow don't know he's a Go-Buster. Soon after, a Metaroid starts attacking, and they are about to leave when Hiromu's middle-school teacher shows up, so Ryuji and Yoko go alone and meet up with Jin and J to fight the CottonCandyroid, who can spin up enetron like cotton candy. After they learn that Enter is attacking festivals for some reason, they try to cancel the one Hiromu's at, but his teacher doesn't want to cause she's weird and friendship and she wants this to be her last performance before leaving the country. When the Metaroid shows up, Blue and Yellow fight it while Hiromu saves his teacher from the Megazord while Go-Buster Beet is fighting it. Red then joins them in Ace, and Blue uses the Metaroids own attack against him and destroys it. Ace then uses SJ-05 to destroy the Megazord. Hiromu reveals to his teacher that he saved her, and the festival begins.
So, not a great episode, but it built up on Hiromu who we don't know that much about. It had some neat fight scenes, and I thought the Metaroinds powers were pretty cool.
Episode 25
Wooooooo Scary monsters! This begins with Jin telling Ghost stories on the roof to everyone except Ryuji, who is asking Kurorin about the origins of Jin's avatar. The next day a metaroid(I think he's a candle) appears, and the three go out to fight it. He tricks the Go-Busters into looking at his flame, and they fall asleep and start having nightmares(giant chicken, zombies, and the chick from Jin;s story). Jin and J show up as he's leaving, and shoot his flame out which cancels the nightmares. They learn that whatever happens in the dream happens to you in real life(Hiromu's frozen and Ryuji has a zombie bite on his arm). Knowing this Ryuji tries to talk to Jin about his avatar, but Jin just tells him to be strong enough to get into subspace. They soon learn that the metaroid is trying to use television to broadcast his flame, so they go to the station, and then Escape show up, and Blue fights her thinking he might get answers, to no avail. The megazord arrives and Cheetah fights the magnet states. Yellow finishes the megazord, and Buster Hercules finishes off the megazord. Ryuji then accepts that the people trapped in subspace may have lost their physical forms, and Hiromu says that they will discover the truth.
This was a pretty good episode, and I can;t wait to figure out about the people in subspace.
Episode Review: Kamen Rider Fourze 46
All right, where were we. So Sagittarius shows up and beats the crap out of Fourze and Meteor, and turns towards Pisces who intends to fight Gamou. Gamou is like whatever bitch, and leaves. After Kengo passes out for some reason, he sees himself with some weird switch and we hear a crying baby. At kengo's hourse, Yuki makes him some not space related food, and then he goes to check out that sweet flash drive. Meanwhile in the Rabbit Hatch, Libra says that their only choice is to break in to Gamou's office and steal the other switches, and Oshugi is freaking out that Sonada was Scorpio.
At Gamou's office (lol Wikipedia says lair), Libra, Gentarou, and Ryusei enter the eggchair room and are attacked by a Gemini clone. Libra sacrifices himself so that the two riders can escape, but they are both immediately attacked by two Leo Dustards which they defeat with the best use for the magnet switches ever.
Ran runs away to confront Leo, who kidnapped her best friend, at the beach. Upon arrival her switch turns from blue to red which signifies that it is finally mature (apparently switches have to go through puberty before they can be used). They start fighting, but Fourze shows up, but it's not the real Fourze, it's really Libra, who turned out to be a lying dick the whole time (love him). So he steals the switch from Ran, and Gentarou transforms and fights Libra while Meteor fights Leo. Then Sagittarius shows up, kicks the two riders asses and then gathers the twelve switches to transport himself, but then Kengo arrives and is like "Hey he has no defensive power when he's doing that shit." So Fourze goes Cosmic and tries to limit break Sagittarius, but Libra jumps in the way and dies. Then Kengo glows and cancels the horoscope ritual thing, and the two Zodiarts leave as the weird switch from before appears from Kengo's body.
So this episode was absolutely fantastic. I thought it was very well written. Libra's "betrayal" was amazing, and it cancelled out the rushed feeling from the last episode. All in all, this is probably my favorite episode of the show. Despite staring to get really good, Fourze took way too long to start getting good. 3 episodes to the end is not the best place to start.

News: Super Sentai 2013
As some of you may already know it has been confirmed that the trademark for the 37th Sentai team has been released. The next sentai team will be Jyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. This translates to Electric Beast Sentai Kyoryuger (Kyoryu = Dinosaur). So we're going to have some type of dinosaur themed Sentai as soon as Go-Busters ends in early 2013.
Personally, I enjoy the idea of a new dino-themed sentai. I do like dinosaurs, and I can;t wait to see which ones they choose to represent. In my opinion, having a tyrannosaurus, triceratops, and pterodactyl again would be a little stale, and I think they might be able to choose something different this time. That being said, anyone who believes this is a throwback to MMPR is stupid. If Kyoryuger isn't a typical sentai formula, and it does stuff differently like Go-Busters, I will be extremely happy. I think most likely the season will start off with a team of 5 ranger.
Enough of my ramblings for now, and yes I will be trying to get back on track with the summaries soon. If you have any interesting thoughts on what they could do for this season, please leave them in the comments, I would love to read them.

Episode Review: Go-Busters 23
If you're wondering why this is so late, read the beginning of Fourze 45's review. Also this isn't going to be long cause I'm lazy and don't feel like writing a lot right now, but I know I need to get this uploaded.
Anyway episode 23 of Go-Busters is a charcter development episode for Yoko and unexpectedly Jin as well. It starts off with Jin talking to Kurorin(yes I'm going to continue to call him that cause its funny and easier to type). After Kurorin says that Jin can come to Yoko's birthday party, he hangs up and we see Jin's back fizzle. At the party, Jin says some stuff about how he knew Yoko's mom ;cause she test piloted his Megazords. Meanwhile, Enter and Escape are talking about how they should work together and whatnot, and they create the Magnetroid. The Magnetroid then proceeds to shoot needles into things that, wait... you should know what magnets do so I'm not going to explain. Hiromu and Nick get stuck together and Ryuji and J get stuck together which is pretty funny. So those four go back to base, and Yoko finds a girl who's crying 'cause she can't hug her mom(Magnets!). She talks to her about shit and Jin has a flashback of her mom. So the Magnetroid starts doing his thing again so Jin and Yoko go to stop him while Gorisaki sends them armor that will deflect the magnet needles, but they can't morph with them on. More foghting happens with most of Jin's armor getting blown off and Escape showing up. Jin then explains how if his avatar is destroyed his real body gets damaged. So then Yoko says some stuff I don't remember about being able to protect herself she runs towards Escape and transforms and destroys his headband caontroliing the magnets, and then destroys him. Oh yeah and the Magnetzord appeared and started siphoning Enetron. So Go-Buster beet arrives and reverses its magnetism and destroys it.
Overall, I thought this was a really great episode. Not only did it build Yoko's character and show the armor development, it also was a nice unexpected development episode for Jin which I thought was nice.

Episode Review: Kamen Rider Fourze 45
Sorry if it matters, but this review/summary will not have pictures. Sorry this is a little late, but I've been busy getting ready for school to start, playing Kingdom Hearts 3D, and watching Kiva. Anyway, on to the episode.
This episode begins with the KRC celebrating Kengo's birthday for which he receives an obnoxiously gigantic key chain. Then, we see Gamou making soup in the cafeteria for some reason and he tells Gentarou that he doesn't need friends and then Kengo faints from his plot convenient illness. Then Gen and Yuki visit that guy who was the fly Zodiart and his chick friend. Soon after, the principal shows up and tells her she has to leave and they speed off in his car which is then ambushed by Leo. He wants Ran for some reason and the Principal transforms into Libra in front of everyone and Gen shows up and goes Cosmic states and fights Leo who quickly leaves. Principal man then explains that Ran is the final Horoscope and is trying to protect her so he doesn't die and in order to gain the KRC's trust gives the Libra switch to Ryusei. He then proceeds to explain Gamous plan of gathering the 12 switched so he can travel to see the presenters. Kengo, JK, and Principal go to Emoto'sw study to look for clues about killing Gamou, and Kengo finds a flash drive with his name on it. The KRC then decides to try and hide Ran at Miu's house, but the Zodiarts find them with some piece of Aquarius or something. They chase Leo out, Gen and Ryusei transform, and somehow Meteor drops the Libra Switch and Leo picks it up. He then summons two dustards with wigs to hold of Fourze and Meteor while he chases Ran. When he catches them Ran uses the damn switch to fight Leo. After some fighting sequences, Gamou shows up, and reveals himself to be Sagittarius and the episode ends.
This wasn't a bad episode at all especially by Fourze standards. Some of the stuff I didn't like were that it seemed too sudden for Libra to have that major of a change of heart and why did Libra tell Leo that Ran was Pisces. Also how the hell did Meteor drop the switch that was in his pocket before he transformed. Did it phase though his suit? Who the hell knows! It wasn't a great episode, but it is probably one of the best so far.

Series Review- Tensou Sentai Goseiger

Warning: This review probably contains spoilers!
Also it's fairly long :)
Also it's fairly long :)
Alright this is my first review of a series as a whole, so bear with me as I'm not sure just how I want to format these yet. I've been trying to finish Goseiger for a while now, and I'll get into why on a bit, but it probably took about a year or so to actually finish watching the while series(and movies). Now, Goseiger is to what most sentai fans call one of the worst sentai series ever, but after finishing the series I can say with pride that it was actually fairly good.
Story
I guess now would be the best time to talk about the story. The whole concept of this series was that these 5 Gosei Angels in training are trapped on Earth after the Tower of Heaven(the bridge between our world and theirs) is destroyed by the Warstar aliens. So basically, they have to defeat the Warstar and try to find a way to get back to the Gosei World. Throughout the series, despite its hardships, I always loved this concept of the angels who come down when the Earth needs to be protected being trapped here. But, some of the things they did along the way annoyed me a bit. These 5 angels: Alata and Eri from the Skick(Air) Tribe, Agri and Moune from the Landick Tribe, and Hyde from the Seaick Tribe. Why only one from the Seaick Tribe you ask? Spoilers, cause Magis, Hyde's partner, died. So after the TOH is destroyed, they all meet each other, and befriend this kid named Nozomu. (Btw, fuck Nozomu) Anyway, Nozomu decides to let them stay with him and his astromoner dad while they are stuck on Earth.
- Warstar Arc
- The Warstar aliens are the monsters for the first like 12 episodes or so. So the main baddy Mons Drake, Dereputa, and Susei no Buredoran are the leaders of the Warstar and they attack Earth and what not in the generic kill all human villain style. It ends fairly quickly with the Goseigers blowing up the ship This was undoubtedly the hardest arc to get through, not because of the villains themselves, but because of the god-awful character development episode, specifically Eri. Datas is cool though, he shows up during this arc and helps out the Goseigers in detecting monsters.
- Yuuma Beast Arc
- In the very next episode we see the debut of the Yuuna Beasts, Makuin and Kingugon. Now their mission is to basically polute the whole world so all living things die. Oh yeah, and they were sealed up by the original Gosei Angel a long time ago. So after they appear, we see Buredoran, who apparently survived the giant ship explosion, and he has a new look and is calling himself Chupacabra no Buredoran and wants to help the Yuuma Beasts and he does. During this arc, we see the debut of a couple cool things mainly GoseiKnight who is all kinds of badass. GoseiKnight is an ancient header who transforms into a knight and can fight on the ground and can become a zord. We also see the debut of the Super Goseiger power. Now throughout this arc we see Buredoran trying to betray Mukuin and Kingugon many times and eventually he dies. Oh and Nozomu gets a boner for GoseiKnight for some reason. So in the end of this arc Master Head gives the Goseigers the majority of his powers so they get GoseiUltimate and they defeat the Yuuma Beasts. The end of this arc is where I feel the series really started to pick up the pace and catch my interest a little more.
- Mantorintis Arc
- After the long battle with the Yuuma Beasts, this new robot empire from anciet times shows up called the Mantorintis. The Mantorintis is composed of Robogog and Metal Alice. So they have all this data on the Goseigers and build robots best suited to defeat them, but alas cannot. After a few episodes the Mantorintis build a robot out of Buredoran's corpse, but steal his memories. They fight tthe Goseigers, and Alice gives Buredoran his memory back and he of course betrays Robogog and kills him.
- Burajira Arc
- So now, it's revealed that Buredoran, who is the Gosei Angel, named Burajira, who originally sealed the Yuuma Beasts a long time ago. After he sealed them, he time-traveled 10,000 years in the future to right before the Warstar attacked, and has been using the other three groups to gain power to destroy the world then rebuild it for himself. So he kidnapped GoseiKnight, and made him fight the Goseigers, while the Goseigers defeated 3 monsters that would become dark gosei power drills. These drills are supposed to go into the Earth and destroy it, but of course the Goseigers stop him by defeating him, and then using some Gosei Global technique. They then become full-fledged Gosei Angels, but choose to stay on Earth.
So in the main story line department, Goseiger's was very good. Despite the horrible filler episodes, the last 12 episodes or so really got me hooked into the story and the show in general. Now, onto design.
Design
- Suit
- My thoughts on the Goseiger suits is that they are okay, but I have nitpicks about them.
- Pros
- Side helmet designs are awesome.
- Tribe logo on the chest is very cool
- Each tribe logo lookis like a set of wings
- Cons
- The lips on the helmet are a bit too pronounced for my taste
- I don't really enjoy the white pants, but I guess black pants on angels would be a bit off putting
- GoseiKnight
- I love him and his suit and i have no complaints about him
- Gear
- Blaster was cool, the header addition was pretty cool.
- Tensouder was big in my opinion, but it made sense and worked well in the series
- The personal weapons were nice, but they could have gotten rid of the giant card things on them
- Leon Cellular was cool, but seemed a little bit unnecessary to me, but it looked cool
- Leon Laser was really cool and I hope we get a good toy release of it in America
- Gosei Tensword = stupid gumball machine stick
- Super Gosei Armor was alright, but it really didn't need the giant headers on the chests.
- Datas was fun.
- Zords
- Individually i liked all of the zords minus the mystic brothers
- Gosei Great, Gosei Ground, and Gosei Ultimate individually looked very cool
- The Great/Ultimate combination looked rushed and had no thought and wasn't very good
- All of the multiple combinations looked too clusterfucky to me with all of the headers and such
- Now i'm not going to go into each character in depth 'cause I'm lazy and that would take way too long. Instead I'll provide some general thoughts. Alata was too naive, laid back, and silly to be a red ranger. I really just didn't like how he transitioned from being carefree to like attempting to be super serious. Hyde was probably my favorite character, besides GoseiKnight, he was serious, but he always had a presence about him that he was serious about the job he was sent to do. Agri was a good character too, but at times he seemed too reckless and focused only on himself. Moune was alright, but nothing really stood out to me about her character. She was just a tomboy who just got angry a lot. Eri was extremely annoying, and was just was too childish to even be a ranger, and I hate her so much. Besides their crazy personalities, one of the things that bugged me about them was their physical features: i.e. Alata's teeth, Eri's ears, and Hyde's freakish height.
- Side character wise, we really only had Datas, Nozomu, and the Professor.
- Datas, while very annoying at points, did his job, and I felt he added a lot to the show.
- Professor Amachi provided great comic relief, and I loved that he somehow got caught in like every villain's plan.
- Nozomu, as you may have noticed, is a completely unnecessary character and I think he should die. Besides providing love to GoseiKnight and a home for the Goseigers, he was otherwise a completely useless character.
- Now you may be asking: Hey, why didn't you write anything about GoseiKnight's character?
- Answer: cause he was awesome and I loved everything about him.
Villains
- Warstar
- Fairly useless, but I liked their design, and they provided a good introduction to Buredoran
- Yuuma Beasts
- Great villains, who actually had somewhat well thought-out plans. They provided the show with a background to Buredoran that we didn't find out was important for 10 episode after they died.
- Mantorintis
- While I enjoyed most of the designs, the Mantorintis only proivided us with two things. The provided some nice GoseiKnght development, and they brought Buredoran back into the story which I thought was fairly well done.
It's common knowledge that most sentai fans would tell you to skip Goseiger cause it's horrible. I am also guilty of doing this at one point or another, but that was when i was only at episode 19 or so. While it isn't the best sentai in the world, I would say to give it a shot if you haven't already. Watching the beginning of the show is definitely extremely difficult to watch, the last 15 episodes or so are just captivating and really highlight what the series was all there for. I don't love it, but(never thought I would say this) I really ended up liking it.

Go-Busters 22 Review
Alright let's start this review off with a summary of my sentai experience. As of this posting, I have watched Shinkenger, Gokaiger, and I just finished Goseiger today.(My thoughts on that in another post) I am also currently watching Magiranger and Gekiranger. Anyway, I love this show. Now onto the review/summary.
This episode stats off with Enter fighting this hot chick pictured above. He's asking her about who she is and she introduces her guns Goku(black) and Magoku(white)*. She then says that she was created cause Enter wasn't pleasing Messiah enough,and she finally introduces herself as Escape(which unless you don't follow toku news, we already knew)
*Note for now I will be using Goku and Magoku instead of Gock and Magock
Anyways, back at Go-Buster headquarters, they have recieved an email saying that whoever sent it is going to steal all of the Enetron out of this skyscraper. The Busters aren't sure if its real or not so the main three go to investigate. In the skyscraper, some sort of contest is being held to see who can follow clues and escape first(I loved this pun). So, Hiromu, dressed as a very cliched Sherlock Holmes, and Yoko are going in to investigate while old-man Ryuji keeps watch outside. Inside the building we see this boy talking to his two friend about how he's got the whole thing figured out cause he works with the GB and of course his friend don't believe him. Oh and Hiromu sees a chicken on the flyer and freezes in the middle of the room.
Meanwhile, in the parking garage below the building, Escape uses her sweet-ass iPad to create the Keyroid, who looks all kinds of cool. They run outside, it uses its key to lock every door in the whole building at the same time, and Ryuji comes and begins fighting. Kurorin and friends figure out that the mysterious email was sent by someone who is in the skyscraper and it turns out to be that damn kid. So Escape shows up in the room and Hiromu begs to her that she doesn't kill him, so she leaves. This act makes the three kids think that he is a total pussy and that one kid look like a dick. Back to Ryuji fighting Keyroid and it locks his Ichigan Buster so it doesn't work. Beet and Stag Buster show up to help and they break his key arm which unlocks everything, ans the three of them leave.
So everyone starts evacuating the building and the little kid confronts Hiromu, and Hiromu's like dude I was only doing that so no one would get hurt and stop sending threating emails to be cool. The kid hears his friends and rushes to be a human shield and then Hiormu and Yoko show up and do some awesome out of suit fighting and the kids see how awesome they are at life. Then, after Hiromu gives a be yourself speech to the kids, Keyroid shows up with Escape, and Ryuji, Jin , and J show up and Jin makes some comment about Escape's boobs, then they all morph and fight. Blue, Beet, and Stag fight Keyroid while Red and Yellow fight Escape. Enter is watching and says something about how he shouldn't have given Messiah such ecstasy so soon.
Keyroid is destroyed and then the megazord shows up and creates another artificial subspace like last episode. The Go-Busters form Great GoBuster and go into the sphere. The Megazord then locks Great GoBuster and continues to beat its ass. Jin then graces us with more of his English cursing skills. The Great GoBuster then pulls a Samurai HaOh and destroys the Megazord and saves the day. The kid then admits to his friends that he lied about knowing the Go-Busters and they have happy times and the episode ends.
So it wasn't the best episode of Go-Busters, but it was still really good. Escape and her reason for being there were both very well done. I thought that the Keyroid's design was really cool, and its powers were equally cool. The whole thing with the little id could have been left out, but it was still a really good episode. Next week we get to see some stuff about the development of some armor which I hope turns into the upgrade armor.
Kamen Fourze 44 Review
What the hell is this?
It's not that i don't like the switch gimmick (the suit isn't my favorite), the thing that gets me the most about this show is it's over preachyness about friendship. It's like another awful Yu-Gi-Oh! spin-off.
Alright now back to the actual episode, this time we continued the Evil Yuuki is Gemini story arc. I actually thought the whole Gemini spitting you into your light and dark halves thing was a cool idea, I just wish they hadn't done it with the most annoying character in the whole show. Anyway it starts off with Gentarou being a whiny bitch about how he's a bad friend and everyone going out to search for real Yuuki who ran off cause her face disappeared. They all meet up and shocker, no one found her. Then, out of nowhere Gentarou gets a call on not the Magphone and apparently Yuuki went home. Meanwhile at Yuuki's house, Fake Yuuki and Dr. Maki are trying to be overly comedic while eating chinese food. Then real Yuuki shows up and takes the switch.
Now this is the part I don't understand. She ran away from the KRC cause her face disappeared, so wouldn't you think that if you had no face and the switch that maybe your friends might actually think that you're the fake Yuuki. So of course they do, and she starts being more stupid and actually pushes the damn thing, thransforming herself into Gemini. Fourze proceeds to Limit Break her ass while fake Yuuki cheers him on. Kengo realises that something's up and that it not the real Yuuki, Sagittarius and the other Horoscopes show up, they go somewhere else and spill out their plan while Burgermeal watches and then leaves. Meanwhile Tomoko is watching Ryusei's exploded body.
So yeah, the Horoscopes have real Yuuki and are gonna have this big ceremony for when she disappears. Gentarou has some flashbacks and realizes he needs to find some box at his house. There's this big "funny" scene with him and Kengo trying to find it and bam we are at the ceremony, which is apparently being held at stonehenge. So the rest of the KRC shows up to the ceremony and they sit down to watch. Gentarou shows up with the box and shows Yuuki the wait for it....... the ticket to space she made him. Yeah, that happened. So that re-awoke her memories and she got her face back everyone transformed and we had a big fight with Gemini being. destroyed.
At the end of the episode Gamou is upset because his teen crush is gone and Libra realises that he's being used. Meanwhile, in the Rabbit Hatch, Yuuki gives everyone a freaking ticket to space except for Ryusei, whose ticket is attached to Tomoko's.

So this episode just proved how, pardon my french, shitty this show is I mean cut it out with all the friendship nonsence. The bad part about it was that I liked the last episode and thought it had potential to be a really good arc but apparently not. And the whole thing with Ryusei and Tomoko at the end was just ridiculous. I enjoyed that whole chemistry before, but now they're just forcing it to give Ryusei's character something to do. All in all, I cannot wait for this series to be over, and let's all thank the Olympics for keeping Fourze off the air for another week.
