Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger Episodes 25-6
Despite being initially impressed, it's not had a big hold on me.
It has great ninja effects.
It has an excuse.
That end battle was basically a crossover fight.
Who is Satorakura Jr? I get that he's supposed to be a joke of a character, but that joke is rather lazy and one note. Is he out for the death of his father of 10 years or something?
Insarn beats them up.
Gokai Yellow gets her boobs grabbed despite being the better fighter of the two females.
Maybe they could've made them different from their parents.
Doesn't have the Goraigers or Shurikenger, the larger appeals of the series.
I think it would've been cool for the Hurricangers to fight the Gokaigers out of suit for the powers.
Just fighting Satorakura Jr
And then Sandayu Jr
Live and Aba are used vs them by the fighting veterans.
The Pocket Dimension is sorta lame and could've been replaced with anything. There's no reason why anyone would've gotten hit by that.

Kaizoku Sentai Hurricanger: Episode 26 5 Years Later
The Hurricangers stand despite being supposedly captured.
Why use Barizorg when Joe isn't out there? Maybe to be different, but doesn't feel fitting. Him vs Gai could've worked. Gai using Dekabreak to dodge bullets would be cool too.
I sorta don't know about not having the Hurricangers not know what would be in the sack, and get captured trying to save them.
But if you're going to do that, you figure Doc or Gai would save the day solving puzzles.
Having Insarn fight the girls, and Barizorg fight all the non-Red was fitting though, it didn't do much with Joe there.
The Sword Attack by both Red on Satorakura was good.

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger 12 review 5 years later
Joe wants to protect kids.
I regret not seeing a darker Joe as it could've showed him being ruthless before and how that could've been the reason why he was a Zangyack or pulled into it.
However, killing kids is no doubt dark, so why not?
Maybe he's afraid they'll become like him.
Insarn teases Cyborg Barizorg.
Barizorg scoffs at her for being inferior to him.
The former Cid regretably had no facial movements.
Cid is my sempai.
Warz Gill is still injured.
Eating food.
Marvelous tells a story of saving Joe. It's a bit flaky, but looks really cool action wise.

No mention of the Red River demons being Pirates.
Marvelous ducks.

Not sure if this is the first time the Gokaigers all fight out of suit.
It's the first time the Prince steps on Earth though.

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger vs Uchu Keiji Gavan The Movie review: 5 years later
This was pretty good.
The beginning starts with a scene of Dol fighting the Gokaigers. It did look a bit like something was off screen shooting at them and there was too much CGI, but it was exciting.
They also wasted the opportunity to use MagiDragon vs Dol.
Gavan captures the Gokaigers.
His teleport sequence looks quite accurate.
Gavan lazily does the turn to good, after naively just believing everything his so-called boss that everyone knew was a villain says. Now that the script's out of the way, can we continue.
Gavan II I'll call is in a more red-dish suit. Later on, he uses Red Lasers and Light Sabres compared to Gavan. He's really cool. He sorta reminded me of the Rider Hunter later on.
Seeing Kenji Ohba's 3 toku roles, I really do wonder why he was never a Kamen Rider since he's been here since Battle Fever J.
I don't get why the Battle Kenya Key can do lightning.
It was cool seeing a cameo from so many of the Super Sentai villains.
The flirting felt a bit whorish from both the human woman and guys in suits.
Alligator guy from Abaranger
Vancuria
Dark Shadow
The Go-onger villains flirting with the
Fly.
Go-busters cameo was a good cameo, but I would've like to have seen more i.e. something unique like having Basco hold onto the powers prior to the end of the series, since he was running out anyway. He also could've added on Metal Heroes and Kamen Rider powers till the end.
The budget in the end spent on Marvelous being saved by Gavan when young is sort of a waste. They never add to it, and it's not that great of a payoff for a storyline anyway.

Power Rangers Ninja Storm Episode 1 review, "The Prelude to a Storm" is a really well paced, executed script to screen first five minutes
A little bit of background between me and Ninja Storm:
I was a dumbass teenager who didn't give a shit about Saban losing the brand. It wasn't cuz of shit like Kid Rangers, or Justin or the cast getting fired in Mighty Morphin, but I just didn't really know what the fuck that meant.
I watched Ninja Storm every morning it was out on ABC Saturday Morning, despite liking Wild Force more, despite not even realizing Wild Force had changed stations, despite watching the End of The Power Rangers. (It doesn't make sense what I wrote, but you sorta get what I mean...)
My main memory was liking the Thunder Bros concept, it not turning as legendary as Tommy or Burai, being disappointed Cam was the Sixth Ranger, that Cyber Cam existed, laughing at the villains in a LOL not actually laughing way, and being horribly disappointed with the Shane arc.
What was my end result after 10-15 years later?
One major problem with the intro is that they show what Ninja Storm is in the credits prior to it supposedly being a surprise that they're ninja students.
Tori looks at her watch, signalling something important is distracting her from the live and death situation of recreational surfing.
Shane hangs out with his skateboarding friends without discussing through exposition that he's a skateboarder, instead doing the moves and explaining what his athletic abilities are.
Dustin is introduced to friends in his motor place that is actually
Rock music. Grungier.
Boo, remember me, is a sign that he's a ninja sneaking up on her.
They are shot using dialogue on in a van where a lot of stuff happens.
The van tells a story, with its bright blue, showing youth, that it's Tori's color, that it bumps like crazy, possibly having another backstory, about why it's like that due to origin or preference.
Dustin talks about Power Rangers.
Tori doesn't believe.
Dustin reflexive.
Yet, Shane is the one using the mirror, being the risk minded. (Is he though?) Aren't they all?
Tori, logical. Drives the car.
The forest is a big contrast to the city.
It makes the episode and journey feel bigger.
When they get to the forest, the Rangers are normally in center.
To use the ninja effect and in addition go in the point of view of the rangers, they use blurry pans, a very non special effect to get across the idea of ninjas and ultra high reflexes.
There are some special effects with the ninja shadow attacks.
They make a cut so that the ninjas go from not there to there.
They cut from the Rangers with clothes to Rangers throwing clothes to having ninja clothes.
Is Dustin an homage to Saban's Masked Rider or Power Rangers Turbo with his humor?
In fact, in contrast, the whole intro reminds you all the friggin time who they are, which is very expostionary.
