That's like a lily

Well we've done it, lords and ladies, we've hit the writer change. Now to see if I am still in love with this show!

... Hitomi tells Asumu that since his mountain trip with Hibiki, he's changed again. That's a great way to start a conversation with the guy you want to bang, really. YOU CHAAANGED. Even though she means it in a positive manner, that's way too much for his tiny Shounen-brain to handle at once. When will she learn to use tiny words?

( When I learn to watch a twenty-three minute episode in under an hour and a half, probably )

OH MY GODDlkjksdyjhgfdshj

k-kiriya omg you are my one true troll i don't even

oh my god what is this, what is going on, NO ONE PREPARED ME FOR THIS

Okay I told gunform that I would do this and so I am. I don't foresee myself reviewing this one by one like I do with Riders, buuut still. I will probably need to write down somewhere what all the attacks and shit means sob kanji and Japanese and tv_n.

WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY! I guess I will bullet this.

    + ... oh my god the superhero time commercial at the beginnng of this slfkgseh oh the Engrish is killing me. "Superhero time! Shinkenger! Try Samurai! Samurai showtime! Here we go!" fdgtshrj it is socute, okay :(
    + Gedoushuu: Heretic/strayed-from-the-path group. ... ... ... ... super helpful notes!
    + Holy shit is the premise of this really that if you have crevices in your house from things not fitting snugly that monsters will burst out of them oh God. That could give children OCD nightmares.
    + Is there some particular reason they are just not subbing the themesong today? I mean, wow, that would be nice. Knowing the lyrics and all. I can only really understand the SAMURAI SENTAI SHINKENGER part :(
    + ShinkenRed, you are a dick. If people were raised specifically for the purpose of being your bitches forever in this life, you should probably take advantage of that. If some old dude told ME that people were raised to be my bitches I would be on that like white on rice. Though I am willing to take "like red on Ferrari" for Takeru.
    + So our villain is a drunkard.
    + Nanashi renchuu: Nameless bunch. So I guess "nanashi" is "nameless"! Look at me, I am learning vocab!
    + Ayakashi: Ghost that appears at a shipwreck. Fits the whole "Sanzu River" thing. Though uh... these villains are kind of Davy Jones.
    + Okay, I give. Why did only one of the arrows have a suction cup?
    + Oh my god Takeru thinks he is Houdini.
    + Shoudo: Calligraphy. Or not. I dunno, they strapped it onto "phone".
    + Rekka Dai-Antou: Raging-flame giant cutting blade. Or giant flaming Cloud phallus.
    + Thanks for being the only douchebag to NOT use Engrish, Takeru.
    + Ugh written puns! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THOSE WHEN YOU SPEAK THEM. Their "origami" aren't folded-paper, but folded-gods.
    + Shishi-origami: Lion-folded god. The others are Ryuu, Kame, Kuma, and Saru. So, Dragon, Turtle, Bear, and Monkey. WHY NOT TRANSLATE THOSE, THEY ARE ANIMALS.
    + These robots look extra fake this year :'D;;;
    + SQUARES CANNOT ROLL, BANDAI
    + Ryuu Bakufuu: Dragon waterfall. 8|
    + Gokaku Daikaen: Five-sided Giant Blaze. >8|
    + omg the old man rocking out on his guitar doing the ending credits BEST EVER

Okay so my overall reaction! I don't really have one yet. Except that I am going to be hella pissy if I have to reference this post every time I watch an episode just to understand all the goddamn finishing attacks.
