I have to say I spent a little too much time this 2nd episode rolling my eyes. I gotta say, I have a certain limit for cheese, and the rubber t-rex suit was WAY over my limit. Akiko annoyed me in the first episode too, including the slipper thing, and annoyed me more in the second
( ... )
I didn't really mind the T-rex. I mean... yeah, it's really really cheesy, but we've known about it for months, so... I dunno? I knew what to expect going in. :D;;;
(And my impression is that it's still less cheesy than super sentai, for what that's worth, although who really knows since I've seen very little sentai, and what I HAVE seen includes this. And also this Hide sings!!! *_________*. So there you go
( ... )
I'd say that's just as stupid as a show where one of the bad guys is a STUFFED OWL, but Stuffed Owl show had the benefit of my favourite actor being in it, so I was grimly determined to watch it no matter what. That said, I had to fast-forward thru most of the "battle scenes" in Boukenger, even if it meant me missing Yasuka say some brilliant line like "EURGH!!" or "It's come back to life!!" Ditto with this episode of W. Ditto with many parts of Shinkenger. I just have a limited tolerance for this stuff, so it reduces the amount of the show I'm going to actually watch. Being a fake boy band is fine, btw. XD
I like to go in shows as innocent as a new-born babe! So I had no idea. This means I spend most of the show a while being utterly clueless
( ... )
Yes, well... Okay, I will say this, it's WAY WAY less cheesy than the first episode of Ultraman Moebius. I love Dai-chan, but... I just couldn't. But I totally get it. :D
Yeah... another thing about the female character dislike is that I'm painfully aware that in the past I used to be a tad wanky. The kind of wanky that would annoy the shit out of me NOW. So I try really hard to... not bash things needlessly, I guess. But yeah, the Kamen RIder stuff I've watched has females characters I've downright ADORED (Natsumi, Misaki and Gon from Kabuto, Mari from Faiz, Mana-chan in Agito, Reiko in Ryuki) and many others that I at least LIKE a lot, and then others that I don't mind. Like I said, Hiyori was the one I liked least, but I would have been as meh on a male character with an equivalent personality, and she WAS an integral part of the story, and.. I liked Tendo and KaGAAmi's interaction with her, so even though I was meh on HER, I didn't mind her presence.
But yeah, basically what you said inthe last paragraph.
I'm loving the show, but not the girl. I couldn't stand the girl in Decade, either, although I didn't mind Hana in Den-O. I haven't had any complaints about the girls in sentai series, but the toku ones don't appeal as much to me.
And I must respectfully disagree with our mutual friend dilettantka about Koishite Akuma; I found it to be a beautiful, compelling series with wonderful acting and characters we fell in love with. :)
