Thoughts on Gokaiger and Power rangers Samurai

So I figure I should post something once a while and what better way then to talk about the awesomeness that is Gokaiger. Seriously it's almost impossible to coherently describe my feeling on this show, and it's only been one episode.

Okay so the first thing we see is the ranger war, all of the past 34 sentai teams fighting a gigantic horde of foot soldiers, I've seen it five times and it is still one of the most awesome things ever. After the fight and the sentai teams lose their powers taking out a fleet of spaceships we get to see the Gokaigers, and their robot parrot. They find out Earth has the greatest treasure on it, which pleases Luka who really likes treasure and money. Unfortunately the empire, the bad guys from the ranger war, are back to attack Earth, so the Gokaigers attack them in what is easily the greatest mecha battle I've seen involving the Gokai-oh taking out a lot of ships.

After taking out all those sips the rangers finally appear on Earth, where they proceed to ask the civilians to hand over the treasure, naturally this confuses the civilians who have no idea about the treasure. Captain Marvelous, yes that really is the red rangers name, wants food, which he'll pay for by selling Luka's ring, and Luka's reaction is hilarious.

So they sell the ring and then head to a place called the Snack Safari where they all order curry, only for the building to explode, it takes the Gokaigers a little while to work this out though. They go out and find the ship that caused the explosion, except Luka who picks up as much money as she can.

They first decide to run back to their ship but Ahim stops being reminded of her home planet, they eventually decide to help and we get our first morph which is good, nothing spectacular but that's the point. Then we get an awesome fight scene, I would talk about what was awesome but I'd be here forever, I will say the dual wielding of guns and swords were brilliant though. Partway through the fight they transform into the Gorangers, aka the first ever sentai team, which is cool and then they transform a football into a garbage truck which sucks up a bunch mooks.

So eventually they beat the monster and the civilians they saved thank them, Marvelous brushes them off saying they only did it because they ruined their meal.

So that was it, and it was awesome, all the characters look great, especially Don who seems like a sentai Ziggy, and Marvelous who just manages to scream badass while coming across as Luffy from One Piece, not that Luffy isn't a badass.

As for Samurai, well the first two episodes have been alright, nothing spectacular but very average episodes, of course as everything that's been said implied we'd be getting another version of Mighty Morphin' I wasn't expecting anything big and so I like it but it's nothing compared to Gokaiger
