 The 36th Super Sentai is almost here! Starting February 26th, Tokumei Sentai Gobuster debuts on TV-Asahi. Rumored to follow a super spy motif, here a few details regarding the team's powers courtesy of JEFusion. Similar to the previous Super Sentai series that aired after an anniversary series (Hurricaneger, Gekiranger), Gobusters will start as a three-man team made up of RedBuster, BlueBuster and YellowBuster. As rumored, they have their own partner robots: Chida Nikku, Gorisaki Banana, and Usada Letas.  You can find more info here. Thoughts about this new team of heroes? |

| Bunny helicopter? Cute. The mecha concepts seem ok. Not a fan of the sunglasses, but it worked foi Gokai Silver. Black pants are in lately, huh? The silver, the collar and those black things in the "jacket" are a bit strange, but I guess I'll get used to it. The metal hero partners are a new idea. Let's see what they'll do with it. Red's seems to have handles in its head. Maybe it becomes a bike... It's been ages since I've last saw a bike on a sentai. But it looks cool. Yellow's looks like the result of a threesome between R2 D2, C3PO and a rabbit. It seems to have wheels so it might turn into a sort of vehicle. Blue's looks too bulky to me, but the main problem is that face. But the binnocular blade looks terrible and I'm not very sure if the gun will look cool. I wish we had more info on the characters and on the enemies... |

It's been nearly 6 years since a sentai series last featured a male yellow ranger.. i don't mind if they turn the blue ranger into a female, or if it follows the all-male format of sun vulcan as long as the yellow ranger is male once more |
| YellowBuster has a skirt, man. It's a woman. |

Thoughts about this new team of heroes? it's also similar to transformers, except that they are animals and vehicles instead of humanoid robots to vehicles and/or animals |
| mr pogi, try to write everything in a single post instead of writing multiple posts. And stop quoting the whole 1st post. Quote only what you're commenting. And let's all try to post picture in spoiler boxes. |

| The TV station isn't theirs. Toei is just one of the many owners. They can't just do what they want. |
| Okay, I gotta ask...why are you so obsessed with getting a male yellow sentai member? |

| So, Yoko looks young, but she also looks convincing in her special agent role, even though she has her comedy moments. She is kinda bratty. Ryuji is the cool and professional guy. It seems he acts as an older brother for Yoko and he showed a little sense of humor. Hiromu is the big hearted red. Don't know if he'll be a leader yet. Nick acts kinda like Hiromu's best friend. Usada should be the cute one, but he is kinda rude and ironic. But I lol'd when he answered Roger Rabbit. Gori is a worry wart. Oh yeah, and he is Jiro. Fabulous french speaking villain. So, the main villain is called Messiah? Messiah no Burajira, messiah the mother of horrors... Where is their creativity? Not much on the commander or the male operator. Miho is pretty cute. So, it's morphin time and let's morphin? Also, the enemy giant was a megazord... The kaijin are machines infected by a virus and the giants are standard models with some weapon from the main kaijin... I wonder if the kaijin will somehow pilot the megazords. I'm not sold on the clothes yet. I'm just too used to the usual fabric. It looks like they're still using the civillian jackets many sentai have... The weapons look better than I expected though. CB-01 and it's forms were cool, but if he is that bulky alon, imagine the gattai... Nice to see a sentai member in a bike again. Didn't like the way they just throw their sunglasses away. It's a waste and it doesn't look that cool. That transportation method they used reminded me of Cybercop. They really nailed the whole special operations feeling. They really look like pros, unlike the guys that said they were pro all the time in Dekaranger. Nice dancing ED. My 1st impression was very good. Let's see if they can keep it up. |
| Episode 1: Well, that was interesting to say the least. Great cinematography during the giant robot sequences. Definitely a sense of scale you don't normally see in sentai going on there. The time-limit before transportation is cool, but I can see it getting old fast. Gonna take me a while to get used to the leads. Hiromu looks like he could be a cool lead, but I feel nothing for Ryuji or Yoko yet. Good god, there's a HUGE discrepancy between Yoko and when she transforms into YellowBuster. Far too noticeable to make it believable she's actually fighting. I've never been a fan of dancing endings, so...yeah. Meh. Still, there are a lot of interesting ideas going on here. Let's see if they can continue to make them work. |

| Yes, I actually watched episode 1. It was not what I'd expected, but enjoyable. The cast doesn't leave much of an impression. I dug their outfits, however. Though they look less like the usual sentai uniform, I like the fabric and simple style of them. I'm probably going to snicker every single time I hear "it's morphin' time!" because I did this episode. |
| <---made of awesome! |
| I guess we'll eventually get used to it. |

| It could? It WILL. But it can be funny if it's done right. Like how Momo fears dogs. |
| Ep 2 is watched! I don't even know why I like this one. Yellow is indeed a mess, Red has zero impact, and only blue has some interest for me, being a fair bit older than the other two. I think it's their Buddyroids that amuse me. Reminds me of KR Den-O. I only snickered a little bit this episode, but I was distracted. ;) Oh, I like Red's freeze-up, but I'm disappointed that didn't give Blue and Yellow something more computer-like as well. Blue's is just barely there. Their comparison to computers is the aspect of the show that most excites me. |
| <---made of awesome! |
| Blue overheats. That's very computer-like. As for yellow, she has a limited battery that must be recharged we sweets. It's more notebook-like, but still computer-like. |

Yeah, I'm surprised we didn't see Blue's weakness this episode either. Would've been the best opportunity. Susan said: but I was distracted. ;) Pr0n? :P |

Well, as I said I accept Blue's, but Yellows is pushing it. Too human-like as well, and I would've preferred she needed an electrical charge or something. I mean, Red literally freezes in place like a mannequin. That's hilarious and very visual, but seeing that yellow collapses without any sweets? Come on. =/ It's just not... interesting. I suspect one our upcoming members will have something like a subjectivity to viruses/colds (constant sniffles), which would've been cuter for Yellow, but they had to make her a little tough girl. |

| In response to Susan's post in the Fourze thread: Normally, I ignore the mecha fights in sentai as well. They tend to be bland, uninteresting, and wholly unnecessary (I love Bioman, but the mecha fights in that series are ungodly terrible). That said, what I love about Go-Busters's mecha sequences are that they stick out. They're dynamic, they're cinematic, they're DIFFERENT. In what has so far been a rather underwhelming sentai, it's nice to see something unique in this show. And I'm sorry, but YellowBuster's nonstop bitching for these past three episodes has gone beyond understandable and veered right into completely ridiculous. It really doesn't help that the actress is completely terrible. I agree BlueBuster is boring, however. He hasn't gotten nearly enough screentime for me to care about him at all. |

| Did I seriously post that in the Fourze thread? Oy vey. Copy-paste power ACTIVATE! Ep 3: I didn't think yellow was that annoying this episode. Blue, on the other hand, better get some focus soon because he's sort of boring. I think it's a guy thing to pay so much attention to the mech fights. I almost never do, and the gorilla-on-the-bridge thing wasn't that impressive. I mean, it's nice that they finally realized they can do better in the effects department, or at least have the budget to do so, but it's nothing to really wow me so far. |
| <---made of awesome! |
| I disagree with pretty much everything CC said about the show, except for the mecha fights. Normally it's just: "let's get into the big robot and kill the enemy". But in this series, they have, at least until now, a lot of different things to do. Being different is good. Oh, Yellows actress isn't good. But the others are crap as well, except of the commander. It's hard to see a toku with good acting. Or maybe my standards are high. Either way, I just ignore it. |
| I don't really care enough to notice yellow being a bad actress. |
| <---made of awesome! |
| Pretty much that. It's not like the show depends on the busters being good actors. Ok, sometimes bad acting can be a pain, like in Genta's case. But that didn't make Shinkeger a bad show. |
| ... But I loved Genta. He was my favourite. |
| <---made of awesome! |
| If they want this team dynamic to work, then yes, I believe acting skills are important. Hell, I'd say the acting in Super Sentai is more important than the acting in Kamen Rider. I dunno, I just found this episode incredibly bland outside of the mecha action. And considering it's just episode 3, that's not a good sign. And yes, I remember hating Genta too. *fist-bumps m4rc0* His bad acting didn't kill the show, but it did weaken it. I'm not saying it's JUST YellowBuster's acting that hurts the show for me. It's the uninteresting characters, the use of the "weaknesses" as just a lame gag instead of an actual debilitating handicap, and yes, the bad acting from all 3. I'm not ready to drop this show like I was with Go-Onger around this point 4 years back but this show is giving me a serious Goseiger vibe, which is almost worse. |

| I agree about the Geoseiger vibe. I do feel like I could drop this one at any time. But you guys gotta stop baggin' on my buddy Gents!  He's just a student of the Nicolas Cage school for overacting. ;) |
| <---made of awesome! |
| CC, you need to have patience. They only had 3 episodes. They will use the weaknesses. Yes, he is one of Nick's best students. |
| Nah, I disagree. Nic Cage is awesome (he kicked too much ass in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance). Genta....eh...isn't. :P |

| Well, he hasn't picked up Nic's finer points, and I never said he was the best "student" either, but like Nicolas Cage he was fun to watch! |
