| You have to keep in mind that those eps were their debut eps. The focus of the series is on them right now. It won't be for long and they won't have that much space in the episodes. I hope they can keep things interesting, but it might not be enough. |

| Dropped! It just bores the hell out of me. At first I was excited for Jin, but he just can't overshadow how terrible the rest of the team are. The action is great, sure, but I miss having compelling characters and a bit more complex plot. |

| I didn't watch Go-onger, but I know their last mecha is famous for being a clusterfuck. But I think this new gattai might be just as bad. He's already as bad as samurai haoh. 20 |

| mikikamote, that was a huge spoiler. That needed a spoiler tag, even if it's still a rumor. Also, when posting spoilers about rumors, make sure to write that they are rumors otherwise you might spoil people that are up-to-date. You don't need to delete this post because I already edited it, but be more careful. |

| New OP? In a Sentai? That's very unusual. Jin in the dancing ED and a longer version of the dance. I guess he's used to it since Magi. 28 |

| Hrm. I think I might pick this up again... |
| <---made of awesome! |
| Well, they are doing some big changes in the show. Not sure if it'll be enough to get you interested in it again. |
| Well, I quite before Escape appeared... I'm already a little bit interested by that. But some of your comments lead me to believe there's still been quite a few episodes of the GoBusters' crappy characterization. So I'm kind of unsure... |
| <---made of awesome! |
| Normally is the other way around. Good characters make me enjoy series that aren't that good in termos of plot, but in this series, I like when they don't use the main characters too much in the plot. |
| Yeah, that's exactly how I felt about this show. Whenever the episode was focused in on one of the characters, be it Hiromu's sister issues, or Yuko's myriad of problems, I really tuned out. A lot of it doesn't make sense either. Like Ryuji's lack of self esteem and how he felt "behind" the younger team members because they started training earlier in life. It was stupid. Enter was amazing, in comparison especially so. He had some truly brilliant plans, but somehow he was always beaten. It felt weird rooting for the bad guy. I feel like I'm talking myself out of watching it again. Hrm. |
| <---made of awesome! |
| It's not like enter looses everytime. Sure, the megazords are always destroyed, but his goal is stealing enetron, and he always gets some. Also, he managed to steal blueprints and minerals he needed. He also had a success recently (though he thought he had failed). |

| ^I'm interested to hear how this series ends... |
| <---made of awesome! |
| You know, despite the terrible main characters, Go-Busters ended up being a very well done series. I wrote the main problem with the characters in another forum: Ryuji was supposed to be the big brother, but they gave him a passive personality that doesn't really fit with the role. He started to get better after Jin showed up and he started to be less serious and found his dream again. Also, he had the best characters to interact with in his episodes and got a rival. Hiromu isn't a real red. He isn't a real leader. That's his biggest problem IMO. Also, his bluntness is just there. If they made him an awkward guy because of that or something... He just can't shine. He has a flaw, but no real positive or funny aspects to make him a good character. That's the problem with Yoko. What are her traits? She's bratty AND dumb. And they don't make her bratty and dumb enought to be funny, so she's just lame, the poor girl. And what's worse, they threw lots of episodes to try to force us to like her. She does get better later though, when her bratty side gets downplayed. And all of them start to work better when Jin shows up. He breaks the seriousness, acts like a mentor and just makes the team interact more with each other on a personal level. As for the buddyroids, Nick is a good character. He has his good points and his flaws, which are most funny. Gorisaki is a pain in the ass and Usada is funny as the snarker, but they made him a trashbin that can't really interact with people... 43 |
| It's surprising they didn't try for other emotions, seeing how a greater emotional spectrum could only benefit Messiah... |

| They did. They tried despair and overcoming despair, love... |

| 50 What to say about GB? In the beginning it seemed very lame with the characters throwing glasses to look cool and a weak main trio, even though it had awesome action, some of the best and most varied giant fights, a great effort in building the scenario and an awesome villain. But bit by bit it started to become a great series. they cut out the silly attempts to look cool and started to focus on the plot. The introduction of a great 4th buster and his buddyroid wer also essential for that. What really made me stick to this series, besides the great action and Enter was that they created several different situations. It wasn't just the MOTW randomly destroying the city and the rangers fighting him. Enter always hada a plan and the busters had to devise a plan to counter his schemes. And while the metaroid was always deleted, Enter managed to accomplish his objectives many times. Those varied situations also gave birth to the different kinds of battles and actions they had to perform in the mechas. The fact that many times they had to split in order to fight both the metaroid and the megazord was also another breath of fresh air in comparison to most series. The scenario was very well built. I like the attention they gave to details and how true they stayed to it, instead of just creating magical solutions. The mass produced giant enemies was also a great idea. The plot was good and I really loved how everything they showed proved to be important in the end. Everything was there for a reason and I can't remember a single loose end. It was fantastic. I also loved how they made the characters sacrifice things to win, instead of just coming up with some courage power up to save the day. This made everything more interesting. The fact that they didn't forget the main characters special powers and weaknesses as the series progressed was another good point. The music was ok, but it surely wasn't one of the strong points in comparison to other series. I didn't like the second ED theme very much. It would've been good as a BGM theme, but the original was better. I already mentioned the great action choreography and the excellent giant fights. As for the characters, Nakamura and Morishita didn't have much screentime, which was a shame. Nakamura interacted more with the main characters, but poor Morishit only had a little arc to show he was more than just an operator. Kuroki was an awesome commander and he had enough time to show that. He even had time to show a more comical side of himself. As for the main characters: Nick was a good character. He was funny but also did his job of Hiromu's partner and common sense very well. Gorisada was a pain. He was lame and annoying. The fact that he couldn't interact with the other vbecause of his suit made it worse. Usada was funny as the funny as the snarker, but they made him a trashbin that can't really interact with people... Ryuji was supposed to be the big brother, but they gave him a passive personality that doesn't really fit with the role. He started to get better after Jin showed up and he started to be less serious and found his dream again. Also, he had the best characters to interact with in his episodes and got a rival in Escape. Hiromu isn't a real red. He isn't a real leader. That's his biggest problem IMO. Also, his bluntness is just there. If they made him an awkward guy because of that or something... That's the problem with Yoko. What are her traits? She's bratty AND dumb. And they don't make her bratty and dumb enought to be funny, so she's just lame, the poor girl. And what's worse, they threw lots of episodes to try to force us to like her. She does get better later though, when her bratty side gets downplayed. BUT, all of them show real fiber when they sacrifice A lot to save the world. And they are brave and intense. Yes, they aren't the best main cast, but they were very well used in the series. And they had some development. And their actors pulled the serious moments off, even if they weren't really good. And then there was Jin. He really changed the series. His presence made the interactions of the main characters and Kuroki flow better and he added a lot of comedy to the series. He was very smart, cunning and resourceful. He also was very brave and could be very intense. He acted as a mentor to the main trio and did a great job at it. J was also a good character. He was full of nonsense, bringing a lot of laughs. And yet he had a serious side that cared for Jin and the others. But GB wouldn't have been this awesome without the main villains. Messiah was just a raging head. I'm talking about Enter and Escape. Escape was obsessed with fighting and helping her papa. She seemed lame. But she started to grow as a character as she interacted with Enter and the Busters. Her rivalry with Blue was also nice. A pity she didn't have much time. And what they did with her backups made us care for her more. And Enter... What to say about Enter other than that he's the best Sentai villain? He was brilliant. He made great plans and managed to accomplish his goals many times. He also grew a lot. He started as a calm and calculating machine but started to get more and more like humans as he interacted with the busters. He was sarcastic, funny and witty. And his forms and moves were pretty cool. I really like how they made him learn emotions and use them agains the heroes, like they do against the villains. The only thing that was totally lame in the series was the Gavan crossover. They lost 2 precious episodes just to advertise the movie... Let's hope kyouryuger is good/ |
