I hadn't seen one of these in awhile and usually by the time I do too much time has already passed! So I thought, why not make another one? And thus here I am bringing you a late summer edition of the...

Favourite toku series: ...this is such a hard question. I like Kamen Rider Kuuga, Blade, W, Decade, Kabuto, Den-O. Garo is excellent as well, and Shinkenger and Gokaiger are my favorite sentai shows, currently.
Favourite toku characters: and now for the second hard question. I honestly can't really say. I always develop a soft spot for the main characters of the series that I enjoy, so the list would be very long.
Do you have any ships you like? I'm pretty flexible, but some that I rather like seeing are Shoutaro/Phillip, Kaito/Tsukasa, Marvelous/Jou, Ichijou/Yuusuke, and Ryuunosuke's one-sided crush on Takeru (which is totally the reason why Ryuunosuke's always bickering with Genta, because he's jealous. /nods)
Other fandoms: I have quite a couple that I stick my head into from time to time. The ones I try to write for though, outside of tokusatsu...Supernatural and Persona 3, Persona 4.
What kind of stuff can one expect to find on your LJ? Well, I tend to ramble about life, and

D'awww kitteh.

I've watched a little Kuuga (and I've really liked it so far) and have Blade and Kabuto sitting in my backlog. Oh my huge backlog... ;_;

[halcyon_iota]

(^____^)

Kuuga is wonderful~~~. Blade has a slow-ish beginning, admittedly, it takes a little while for things to really heat up, but in my opinion, Blade has one of the best endings. And Kabuto is just plain fun. XD

No worries! I still have Ryuki, and Faiz to tackle right now too. Toku series are long, dude. XDDDDD

[rocketkatze]

Toku series ARE long dude! And there are so maaaany. D:

I tried watching Blade, I was kind of bored. About when would you say it picks up? 10 eps in? More? D:

Kabuto is in my queue too. Gah there are just too many toku, too little time. :|

Favourite toku series: Mahou Sentai Magiranger, Dengeki Sentai Changeman, Kamen Rider Ryuki, Kamen Rider Agito, Garo.
Favourite toku characters: Hikaru/Sungel/MagiShine, Shinji Kido/Kamen Rider Ryuki, Sayaka Nagisa/Change Mermaid, Hikari Enokida, Kaoru Mitsuki.
Do you have any ships you like? I generally ship whatever the show tells me to ship, though I do have a marked fondness for Urara/Hikaru from Magiranger, and Kouga/Kaoru from GARO.
Other fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender, The original Yugioh, Slayers, Outlaw Star, Wakfu, Princess Tutu, Revolutionary Girl Utena, .Hack, Simoun, and One Piece.
What kind of stuff can one expect to find on your LJ? Memes, mostly spoiler free summaries of varies toku series that I've finished watching, and a large sum of ranting about terrible, awful shonen anime.
Got anything else to say? Pleased to meet you all.

[rocketkatze]

Spoiler free toku summaries eh? That sounds useful when picking out a new series to try. :D

I am patiently waiting for the new Avatar to start already. :|

[cypsiman2]

Ugh, I believe I mistyped. I meant to say "review" instead of "summary". They're relatively free of spoilers, but the focus is more on what I did and did not like about it and how it made me feel.

Do you have your Korra icon? I do. :D

[rocketkatze]

That's cool too.

Oh...no...I don't. *shuffles feet* I never got around to obtaining any Avatar icons. I suppose I should correct this... D:

also....

[rocketkatze]

That pic is freaking me out man. :|

[oddesy]

I always want to delete it from my pictures folder but it stares me down and I'm too freaked out to delete it. I figure may just die of fright if it shows back up D8

[rocketkatze]

Heh. That would be...creepy...if that happened. D:

Another Zyuranger fan! I just started it myself, only a couple eps in. Seeing several people list it as a fav has got me rather excited about it now. :O

Also Marvelous is rather marvelous.

[rocketkatze]

Oh wow, you got an impressive watch log there! I've been curious about the older shows lately and currently have Zyuranger, Megaranger, Timeranger in the works. I also have some Liveman lined up in my backlog but haven't gotten to it yet.

Curious as to which series you didn't like most since you've seen so many of them?

[mariko_azrael]

ty. <3 I'm a completionist, definitely.

Turboranger and Kakuranger, mostly because I didn't think the shift to Grim and Gritty worked. I also didn't like how while the girl in Kakuranger was supposed to be the leader and have this great story arc-- but Red kept worming his way into the screen shots, stealing screentime by even Red Ranger standards (and I LOVE LOVE LOVE his actor to death, so that's saying a lot). Hurricanger I felt the acting didn't quite fit the simpler storyline, and the first three-fourths of Shinkenger dragged (although I realize it has a lot of fans, and I quite liked it when [spoiler] appeared). /tl;dr, sorry

(I <3 Zyu/Mega/Time <3)

[rocketkatze]

Shinkenger, really? Interesting, I thought it was one of the most solid sentai I'd seen yet. But then again I haven't seen many, and everyone is different - especially with so many to choose from! And it does contain one of my favorite characters...so I am a little biased. :p

There seems to be quite a bit of love for Zyuranger in this meme, I guess I better get moving on that one.

Favourite toku series: Go-onger. Tomica Hero Rescue Force/Fire, Keitai Sousakan 7. And then there's Kamen Rider Double. Very recently I've become obsessed with Kamen Rider OOO.
Favourite toku characters: EVERY SINGLE GO-ONGER CHARACTER OMG. I love the Go-ongers themselves, especially Renn. I love their Engines, especially Bus-on and Carrigator. I LOVE THE VILLAINS. With the exception of Yogoshimacretein. I love Third. THIRD IS MY FAVORITE PHONE BRAVER EVER <3 Followed closely by 01. I also love Ishiguro, which is the main reason why I did not want to watch OOO, because I was afraid my love for Ishiguro would blind me from loving Date. Thankfully, Iwanaga is freaking genius and now I love Date too :D And Gotou-chan. GOTOU-CHAN NIIICE :Db!
Do you have any ships you like? You mean besides Keita/Seven? Or the one-sided 01/Keita? Or Yogostein/Hiramekimedes? I think my only normal ships would be Date/Gotou-chan and Terui/Akiko.
Other fandoms: Digimon, er... jdramas... I recently

[rocketkatze]

OOO is a good series to be obsessed with. :D

LOL, you recently got into Harry Potter? Why so late to the party bro? ;p

I love how Gotou just tore into that cookie.

[terrierlee]

I WAS LATE TO THE PARTY FOR OOO, TOO. I only started watching it for the EPIC BROMANCE that was Date/Gotou-chan. Meaning I had to marathon the show until I got to the recent episode, which, at the time, was 37.

And Harry Potter didn't really interest me until the movies came to an end. I borrowed all the books from the library and read them all within like... three weeks. Goblet of Fire is, hands down, my favorite book. And Neville IS THE BOMB.

It was either the cookie nom or a sexy henshin. I thought the sexy henshin was borderline spoilers for anyone who wasn't watching OOO.

[rocketkatze]

Heh, well at least you made it to the party! Oh Date. I love how he thinks all birds are chickens.

Congrats on reading the books so quick! Quite a roller coaster, that series. And Neville is dah bomb.

I call that gif Cookie Monster Gotou. :D
