My thoughts on Gokaiger
First thought: Red has a big mouth and kind of resembles Katori Shingo from SMAP.
Second: Where to they find these crazy tall blue dudes?
So I kind of like it so far. I think the overall team look is better, Blue's height is offset by Red's broad shouldered build which is a step up from last year, I always thought Hyde made Alata and Eri look like kids. Also my anti red bias has not kicked in yet which is pretty impressive 'cause the last time that happened was back when I watched Time and Abaranger. Whilst I appreciate that the Red is the focal point for the series I nearly always find the other characters more interesting. Whether or not this will turn out to be true, I don't know but it would be nice to get an atypical red and I think the pirate motif will allow it. Blue, I like Blue, nothing out of the ordinary there. Appropriately interesting past please. Yellow, liking. Green, liking, I just hope they don't overplay the physical comedy. Pink, hopefully the manners will mellow a little but I think the 'Princess' character could be a good counterpoint to the pirate mentality.
In all: Toei, you've got something good, don't screw it up.
