Gekiranger has totally eaten me, oh my god. .__.

*rubs eyes tiredly* You know, you wouldn't think that Sentai would be that draining, but it really kind of is. At least when you watch over a dozen episodes of it in a single day. I'm switching between Gekiranger and Dekaranger right now, because I love both a whole lot, but it's... it's definitely Gekiranger that has finally officially gotten ( Read more... )

vs arashi, gay rainbow band, arashi no shukudai-kun, maou, tokusatsu nerdery, drama blogging, dekaranger, gekiranger

I don't blame you. There's something about newsletters that will just fry your brain. It's the same with toku--I love it dearly (obviously), but after a few episodes, my brain starts to threaten mutiny.

VS ARASHI: Yeah, raw, so I'm sure I missed a lot of what was going on, but it was still fun. And... yeah, I can think of ways to potentially unbalance the rest of them, but Ohno... how would you even try?

MAOU: I found it interesting that we never actually saw Naruse interacting with the mob? I don't think we even got a phone call? It's possible that he routed it through a third party or that I'm just overthinking this, but. I was curious why the mobsters were like, "Oh, shit, this is bad!" when Ikehata dropped through the floor, like they didn't know they were playing right into Naruse's hands?

I loved that Naruse was the one who asked Naoto to figure out why, becuase a) Naoto would have come to that conclusion/question on his own eventually and b) Naruse wants Naoto to figure it out, wants him to chase after him into hell ( ... )

At least you didn't have to go through all the Vox accounts for stuff, that always crushed my soul. God, people, did you really have to embed five videos in every single post?

MAOU: That's the other thing that makes me think twice about Naruse being involved with the yakuza, because he's been so careful to avoid being directly involved with anything. He just gets the people into the same space at the same time and nudges them in the right way, he doesn't hold a gun to anyone's head. But if he actually gets involved with the yakuza... it makes me wonder if there's something more there we haven't seen or if it's a tenuous enough connection that they'll never be able to prove it.

I-- I really want to know when Naoto is going to find out, I really want to see what happens then! It's so hard to believe we're over halfway through already. .__ ( ... )

MAOU: I don't really know much of anything about the Japanese legal system, but... how much could they really even pin Naruse with? He didn't make that guy kill the lawyer. He didn't make Sora's mother shoot Yousuke. He didn't make the guy run into a dangerous area. As things stand right now, I assume he could probably get off by pleading that he didn't actually do anything. Though, if they find the red envelops and manage to tie them to Naruse, that might be a different story.

Dekaranger: I-- I don't think I could stand fic for them and I really do not want to see makeouts or anything, but. The show does... kind of... seem to be going there? At least in a Mommy and Daddy sort of way that you're just not supposed to think about ( ... )

MAOU: It would be tricky, I suspect, because Naruse has covered his tracks well and even what little you could pin on him... it's kind of murky. Like with Sora-chan's mother, it's a legitimate self-defense situation, he gave her the gun to protect herself, unless they can prove that he knew about Yousuke's allergy? But I don't know much about Japanese law or how much you would need to actually prove there in order to convict someone--and I really doubt that jdramas are an accurate representation of Japanese law. XD

Dekaranger: It's... it's sort of killing me, because I sort of like the idea of them as a ship and I found Doggie kind of inappropriately hot during his episode, but it also makes my skin crawl because aslfkjaslkj FURRY. I kind of lean towards them because-- well, you're right, they can't really come out and say a lot because of their target audience. But this is also the show that kind of routinely has human people being lovers with batshit looking Alienizers, so. You know. Doggie/Swan-san isn't that far out ( ... )
