I posted this review on MDL but I might as well repost here with some extra comments.

Firstly, I DID started watching Ninninger when it was still airing and YES I loved it. But then I put the series on hold, not because the story was bad but more due to the fact it gets annoying seeing how the fandom kept shitting on the series as well as Nishikawa Shunsuke. As much as I can just ignore those things and just enjoy the show, the negativity and toxicity of the fandom was still bothering me so I decided to take a break from it. That, besides the fact that life also gets in the way. And I did resume the series in the end.

To be honest, the series was quite decent. Not too bad nor too silly, contrary to what some people might claim the series to be. And in terms of acting, I don't see that to be any worse issue compared to any other Sentai series before or after Ninnin. Even for the actor playing Takaharu. Also for people who still question Nishikawa Shunsuke's acting ability, he IS a good actor honestly as you could see in later episodes where Takaharu's personality totally change whenever enemy monsters get up to their tricks. Or if you disliked the idea of a cowboy ninja, dude, Kinji's already is a Japanese cowboy prior so having him embracing his new ninja side shouldn't be weird.

Sometimes seeing how the fandom is going about ranting on Ninninger, I feel like I'm part of the rare ppl that actually still enjoying Ninninger, as well as not minding Takaharu as a character.

I mean... If you argue that the actor was not good in acting, well, shouldn't that apply to a lot of past toku actors when they started their series? Also, if you argue that the show been focusing too much on Takaharu, tbh... I agree on that. But I don't think it's as bad as Daigo's writing on Kyoryuger.

That aside, I feel that Takaharu's writing is just fine. You'd argue that I set my standards low... but hey, considering that the main demographic are little boys, I don't try to think too much on stuff.

Also, to be frank, Takaharu being focused more in this earlier part is not too bad. (I might change this thought later on if the show still focus on him still but atm I don't think his character was that bad) I mean, from the start of the show its already established that Takaharu was the one really into the ninja thing. the others, not so much.

And only later on, the others started to really get serious on being the Last Ninja thing... either due to not wanting to lose out to Takaharu, or them realising that they do want to continue being a ninja. Cos of this, I don't really mind Takaharu being as he is. Sure, he's a bit dense on some parts... and I understand how his contant outbursts of being on fire can get annoying, but in a way, Takaharu acts as a catalyst to encourage the others to be a better ninja.

I mean, perhaps due to Takaharu (and Fuuka) being part of the main family line, he's being written as having the strongest ninja potential amongst the five. Yet, skill-wise, the other four would be much better than Takaharu. And that's fine, actually. And so far in the series, I like how the writing made use of this setting.

It's been a while since I typed these kinda stuffs~ 

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger 41

This is like... a grand tribute to my OTP. XDDBecause seriously... YES. Throughout the episode...my eyes just focused on the two because it's so... OTP. I always been shiiping MarvxAhim for the most unlikely fairy tale pairing of all... so yes, I'm hyper about this. I mean... a pirate and a fugitive princess! YES? Though I'll still giggle at the thought of Marv trying to be Ahim's knight in shining armour. XP. Eventhough... that should not b so surprising... this pairing.

Like that time Ahim hides behind Marv because she was embarrassed about the Abare Pig costume. And when Ahim was all flustered because Marv wanna see her cosplay pics...

As well as some random MarvxAhim moments hear and there~ <3

Kamen Rider Fourze 13

Oh mai Garren/Tachibana/Tuxedo Kamen/Mamoru <3

It's so APT that the Hayami Kouhei/Principal is a LADYKILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean.... the LOT OF REFERENCE in that!!!!! XD From both Blade and Sailormoon! I wonder if that was intended who're you kidding? It's so obvious they were planning that! (I always had a feeling that Amano-san was cast  as Tachibana due to his part in Kaguya Shima where he literally screamed like a girl in it. XPPPPPPPP)

Rewatching 199 Super Sentai again. First without subs... and one with OT's subs (for now) to better understand.

All my tears? ALL MY TEARS!!!!!!! )

Yeah... I like this VS movie. No lies. Like when I watched Ultraman's anniversary series (Mebius) and the two movies, or on Kamen Rider anniversary (Decade) and Movie Taisen. Makes you wonder if people wanna make more anniversary let's regather all the teams in the main series franchise stffs like these again. I mean... there's that VS with Gavan. I mean... GAVAN. My heart~~~

Not sure Godzilla ever had something like that, though if there is I'd probably just root on Godzilla and King Caesar. Hahaha. Wonder if Choseishin series or Tomica series gonna do that... XP, that'll be like a way to make people watch the old shows. LOL. Nah... I rather not jinx it... it might happen for real~

I'd be even worse toku-hardcore than I already is. XP

Okay... that's it for this post. Back to watching GoGo V.  
Just as I was thinking about doing this part of the chapter, 199 SS raw came out. So I might as well~
And considering my head was not responding for my NaNo...

Title: Passing the Torch: Oh Red and Oh Pink
Fandom: Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger/Chōriki Sentai Ohranger
Characters: Hoshino Goro, Maruo Momo
Rating: G
Summary: Based on episode 31. Sometimes, things just don't go according to plan.
A/N: My general disclaimers for series I'm not really familiar with would be standard, I think. Any chapters involving series I'm not familiar with would be focused and based more on the episode themselves as well and wiki. At which I'll be crossing my fingers and hope anyone who read it actually could accept them and I still wonder why I'm continuing this hahaha. Running out of Heisei 21Century sentai aka the series I'm actually more familiar with aside from Flashman and Maskman.

--------------------------

The mission did not turn out as expected... )


Title: Passing the Torch: Yellow Lion and Red Falcon
Fandom: Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger/Choujuu Sentai Liveman
Characters: Oohara Jou, Amemiya Yusuke
Rating: G
Summary: Based on episode 30. Jou ponders about him meeting Joe.
A/N: Not really sure where I'm going here. Basing this from the episode as well as what little impression of Yusuke I had from Gaoranger VS Super Sentai. As well as wiki... /shrugs

So, during the random odd times, I took time to watch old toku series. Because for some odd reason, ever since I typed about it... TOEIcojp stopped allowing non-jp people to watch their vids. And I thought it was funny that I didn't receive any more updates from them. /wry

After Hurricaneger, ended up finishing Gaoranger. And a part of myself just laughed at me at my disordered way of watching series. Because after Gaoranger... I ended up watching Timeranger. Which is... when you looked at their timeline, you'd realized that I'm working on the series backwards. Since Timeranger comes before Gao.... and Gaoranger comes before Hurriken~

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu~ )
