It started off a bit slow but I think the Sentai Daishikkaku show has found its stride again. Episodes 2-4 kind of fell into a standard "fight against the local big bad guy" thing which I do find enjoyable, but the stakes weren't the same. There were peeks into things happening elsewhere, but due to the abilities on display the plot was focused. It was still very enjoyable in the standard shounen-y way!
Having watched episode 5, I can say that it's really done a great job of re-establishing the things I liked about it begin with. Lots of complicated motivations and factions and some mystery to go with it as well. You can't tell what's going to happen next!
I feel a bit limited on what I can praise about it without spoiling stuff, unfortunately. The visuals are still really good and this studio is definitely continuing to improve on things there.

Seeing this for the very first time with this thread! It does seem interesting at first glance, I might give it a try at some point. In the meantime, please tell me, why does he wear the mask?

He has a lot of loyalty as a monster with it being his actual face and not a mask. No wait that's not quite right...

I have not watched the latest ep yet but I was definitely not feeling the last arc so I'm glad to hear it picks up again.

Well, I thought the culmination of the arc was really good. Some great visuals going on and some new things were revealed raising new questions. The usually muddying of good and evil that make the story more interesting. Maybe I've oversold it, but I think there's maybe 2-3 people that will watch this on kissu and maybe 5000 people on the whole planet so it's worth trying to get more people interested. I'll upload some clips later... maybe.

This is a good example of the stuff that makes it seem quite interesting visually. Even if the visuals in this moment are simple, the way it's showing the scene with the cutaways is quite novel and cool if you ask me!

What a cute and innocent girl!

I find the simplicity part of it's charm and how it acknowledges it's simplicity with the animation styles. They don't try to stand out with interesting frames, it just fits in very simplistically making it easy to understand

Hm, I could see that. It does look a bit simple, but it still looks great. Unlike a lot of other shows that focus on making a few seconds look really amazing at the cost of the rest, this one just keeps things looking pretty good at all times. The 3D looks pretty decent, too, especially for what must be a limited budget.
I also just really like the fights in this. It's cool to see the abilities and artifacts. The way that everything is a mystery really adds to the excitement of seeing things in action.

Also, wow, a LOT happened in episode 7. This show has a real feeling that you don't know what will happen next that really makes the episodes seem like they're 2 minutes long due to the way it engrosses you. I guess attempting to kill each other is normal for the Dragon Keeper faction. The way everyone is expendable, even the leaders, really drives home the fact that the "heroes" are not what they seem. It contrasts a lot with the Ourboros monster. There's like 4 factions now? or 5?
Why is it that the shows I love end up having like 1% of the popularity of other shows? IT'S NOT FAIR!

I'll be getting up to speed with it tomorrow... I'm interested in seeing how it goes since manga readers have hyped it quite a bit.

Yosh, so we're at the Invader Rights Association arc, which I often see this referred to as the best part.
What's nice about this story is that there are several characters with reasons to go against the status quo and they're not inflexible in how they choose to go about it. The timeloop arc in the manga had more bonding moments between Hisui and D that help explain why she'd cozy up to an invader (although it was worth skipping for the sake of pacing), and Yumeko has her uses for D in enacting revenge against the rangers, and with Usukubo's reveal his harem has been assembled.
Can't help but unfavorably compare this to ffffucking Dead Mount, as this series actually has setup and payoffs even while introducing more people.

Now... I'm gonna go lay down a bit.

It feels like there's a lot of keikaku going on lately. Who is pulling whose strings? This stuff is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
I'll have a theory going, but then there's another episode that makes it unlikely or impossible. This might be an issue of what feels like condensing so many chapters into a single episode. I might have to start looking at the manga to follow along.
I'm very curious about Red now. I thought he was just an evil jerk, but maybe he's a monster boss? Or does he have clones? Was he pretending to be hurt by D two episodes ago? Or maybe it's more simple and he just has lookalikes that interact with the public for events?
I also still don't know who to root for. Sakurama seems like a good guy, but naive. This doesn't seem like the kind of story where he would naturally find the right answer as the "good guy", either.

I think there's a lot of bad options. It's a very distopian show where the only decent option is the status quo. So far no one other than the rangers have been able to move the story while the fighters or pacifists are dominated by monsters who are in turn destroyed by rangers.

Cute yellow or D might try to effect the story but the rangers could do or overpower any of the things they're trying.
Hibiki is useless and not engaged with the story.

>the only decent option is the status quo
Thing is, this whole mess comes from the status quo being bad. The rangers did some fuckery to get their divine tools, to power up Red (who, remember, is superhuman even without transforming), and instead of eliminating a threat to humanity they decided to drag it out and build an industry off its spectacle, so after many years there are now several people coming together to get back at them. Weight of their sins, internal contradictions, you know how it goes.
>>7337
I'm thinking Red's nature ties into the bioresearch the yellows carried out in the past.
>lookalikes
Quite possibly.
Besides that, it was a fast episode but it was by no means incomprehensible. Rangers got baited, then IRA (begorrah!) used their viral fame to pull their next move, and the keepers decided to follow the congregation assuming something would go down.

It's not really a bad status quo, and Green Butai is the only one actually doing it's job while the others dick around and Pink is relegated to service tasks. Blue idk... the anime didn't explain it. Red of course being the frontline troops who do nothing causes the biggest issues.

The inequality creates problems, but the Japanese "Co-Existence is not an objective truth" suggests that there is a wrong side here and it's not trying to both-sides the issue. The monsters are in the wrong, and D is only correct in that he's a person who grows empathy as he deals with others.

The monsters are obviously in the wrong and the executives have all been soulless monsters, but the rangers still handled the situation poorly and the bad things happening right now, like the kaiju attacks, are a consequence of that. The ideal timeline would've been the one where the invasion is quickly dispatched and rangers act according to their duty without forming this perverse system of half-assed exploitation.
