Was the moral at the end of the story too preachy for you? Did it work for you? https://mjmunoz.com/2022/01/26/stc78/ CREDITS SUPER SENTAI: Himitsu Sentai Gorenger – April 20, 2021 Writer and Artist: Shotaro Ishinomori Translation: Alethea & Athena Nibley Adaptation: Alexis Roberts, Dawn Davis Lettering: Bambi Eloriaga-Amago & Roland Amago Pages: 352 SYNOPSIS An evil secret society called the Black Cross Army threatens world peace, and only an elite task force known as the Earth Guard League (EAGLE) can stop them. After the Black Cross Army destroys EAGLE's headquarters across Japan, five young recruits survive. Hiding in a secret underground base, they are given enhanced battlesuits that empower them with superhuman abilities, transforming the youths into an unstoppable squad to combat evil. This book has an insufficient chapter breakdown, so I did it on my own. I decided that Chapter 2, which I will dub "Robotosaur Rumble" runs from pages 146-253. Gorenger Chapter 2 opens with a team discussion of the suits appearance and capabilities, then sees the team go up against a dinobot which they alone are unable to destroy. TOPICS Suit Tech Ultraman, Masked Ricer and Godzilla Manga Gags Team Balance Filler? Pacing "What can we do?" Was the moral at the end of the story too preachy for you? Did it work for you? RECCOMENDED? Yes.

SSSS.Dynazenon 11 What Wish Can't Come True? June 11, 2021 Writer: Keiichi Hasegawa Director: ??? Yomogi and the others begin to resume their everyday life, and the Kaiju Eugenicists who have lost their Kaiju also lose their place in the world. Static ‐They almost made the show have no final villain. That would have been novel and exciting, but they pulled back from it. -Again there is no mention of the innocent people being killed by the rampaging kaiju and that feels odd, as it was a big deal at the start of the show. I'd be fine with a single exclamation from anybody. How intrusive is it to have someone gasp and shout "Those people!" or something like it? Sizzle -Sizumu's kaiju looks cool -I thoroughly enjoyed seeing more of these characters as they figure out their lives outside of the roles as Dynazenon pilots Soul -Chise just got Goldburn. She is losing Koyomi, her little kaiju and the rest of the Dynazenon crew. We also see her headed back to school. The fact that she hasn't been going tells me she that she wanted to avoid it and had a substantive reason for her aunt to permit her to loaf around with Koyomi. We saw her tame Goldburn and remark that she almost became a Kaiju Eugenicist as they passed her school. She seems to be a sensitive soul and Knight sees that her having to part with Goldburn will be hard for her. I doubt he knows the larger context, but we do. Knight advised Chise to prepare her heart for when he and the Second leave because they will be taking Goldburn. Supposedly all the "kaiju seeds" are gone and this world is safe from kaiju, but for the one in Sizumu has. Sizumu attacks Gauma with a beam from his heart. When Knight attacks him, his heart glows with a white light and projects a barrier that wards off the attack. Sizumu thanks Yomogi and Yume for showing him so many emotions. His heart is bent on evil and destruction, but it has become more powerful as it has become more complete. His kaiju is well-fed and a more effective vehicle of destruction due to the richness of his heart. Chise will have to struggle to become like him or bear the pain on her own and refuse to make others suffer because she is hurting. That's a choice we all face in our own way. Speculation -Was Kano the princess? Debate -Is Chise being treated like a fifth wheel? Rating 4/5 Knights telling Chise "Prepare your heart" struck a chord with me because all we really have power over is what we do in response to the world around us. The condition of our hearts determines what our first impulse will be. Our experiences and how we process them alters the condition of our hearts. We have seen so much growth and change in the Dynazenon crew over the course of the series, that despite the little action, I was enthralled watching them figure out how to live now that the kaiju battles were over. It only works because I care about these characters thanks to what we've been through together. #Tokusatsu #anime #SSSS_Dynazenon #review LINKS https://www.dynazenon.net/en/ https://ssssgridman.fandom.com/wiki/SSSS.Dynazenon ___ Talk to me on MeWe - mewe.com/i/mjmuñoz Contact- https://twitter.com/MJ_Scribe More Content- https://mjmunoz.com/ Support- https://mjmunoz.com/support/

Is Inoue working in dramatic irony to tell this story? #SuperSentai #AvataroSentaiDonBrothers #tokusatsu Full Show Notes - https://mjmunoz.com/2022/08/23/sss025/ CREDITS Avataro Sentai Donbrothers 25 The Working Man's Hero - August 21, 2022 Writer: Toshiki Inoue Director: Hiroyuki Kato SYNOPSIS Tsuyoshi is in charge of a store whose performance is deteriorating. Because of this, he is fired by his boss, Yamada. Unable to tell his wife Miho about it, he begins working hard on part-time jobs to make ends meet. While working, the Hitosuki, Daiki appears. Tsuyoshi, who is exhausted from not being used to hard work, is unable to fight and lets Daiki escape. Taro, who heard from Tsuyoshi that he was not feeling well and "I can't turn my neck," misunderstood. DOWNS -Tsubasa being so alienated from the others is weird -It's so ludicrous, it has gone to plaid with the contrivance of the team helping Tsuyoshi -Tsuyoshi hiding his job loss from Miho -The Cerebrans have been gone far too long. Not enough of them this time around -Has the thread been dropped on them AND the Beastials? --Tired: hiding info for "mystery" Wired: Layered storytelling with theme and ongoing intrigue UPS -The Cerebrans are back and are villains again, maybe -Tiger Jirou is back and he and Dragon Jirou are chatting -The team working to help a friend of a friend is sweet -Oni Sister being "ogre joyed" was fun --AR World version of that Hitsosuki looks cool, they even made the RIBBON menacing! WHATS -Why does money burn Saruhara? Is it just a joke? -Super Sentai Maid Cafe when? --Where is the Double Jirou story going? Are there really two of him? SCORE Episode 25: 6/10 The story has been stretched far too thin. The episode was just barely enough to keep me hooked. I don't get why it is like this. Is ny of this building towards the overall narrative? REFLECTIONS Is Inoue working in dramatic irony to tell this story?
