Is that seriously Ban? Wow.

[Suzie Miyazaki]

I can understand why he let it down after about a year of looking like a Yu-Gi-Oh! protaganist.

Seriously, watch the first episode and then the last. He doesn't cut his hair but it is still spiked to Hell and back.

[Otoya Kurenai]

What is wrong with that song? I thought at least the opening might be good, but yeah, that's clearly not the case.

[[Kaisu] Elizabeth Clarke]

Yeah I have to agree with Ren. That song is just...

[Suzie Miyazaki]

It's supposed to be a bit techno, since Akibhara is all ... techno-y.

But it is kind of ... I dunno a bit off.

[Reiji Kurosaki]

Akiba Red got hit by a truck?
Well, the Prius looks decent in robot mode. So they're still inside it? Must not be much room D:

[[Kaisu] Elizabeth Clarke]

... That's not techno. That's a dying, computerised cat.

That is all.

[Suzie Miyazaki]

So ... the soundtrack involves strangling Doraemon ... interesting.

I've only watched it on RAW so far, but I like how AkibaRed cosplays, with the duct tape around his jeans for Dekaranger.

Monster attacks are a regular occurrence. That's got to hinder the peace process.

I just had a thought: maybe they were trying to make peace with the monsters. Government programs being what they are, it took over two years for the bureaucrats to give up on the idea. Meanwhile Jason, Trini, and Zack are stuck filling out meaningless paperwork and trying to produce results on a hopeless project with a shoestring budget. Driven insane from the frustration, Trini and Zack disappeared into the Florida everglades and haven't been heard from since. Jason welcomed the opportunity to risk life and limb against inhuman beasts after the Hell that was middle management.

[Suzie Miyazaki]

... That ... that actually explains a fair bit.

Even with the cardboard cutout of a character that they introduced in 07, I have to say, Go-Buster easily reigns supreme over Fourze now. The fact that they condense the arcs into 1 episode is nice, too.It doesn't cut anything out, but as of this stage there isn't too much to cut out, but they do it nicely.

I'm still getting a Tomica feel from this, which isn't a bad thing at all. Also, the fight choereography is the best I've seen from a Toku so far. I don't know, there might be others with better.

[Ren Nakamura]

I agree.

It's kind of sad that it's ratings are so terrible, isn't it?

[Lucas]

I have a theory regarding the base of the Go-Busters, though.

During the teleportation sequence, it's going to have to either replace the particles of the air with what they just transported or swap the air and the weapons around.

With that in mind, that would mean that to ventilate the room, all they need is a few fans and a few willing Go-Busters to just continually teleport stuff. Right?

It would also be an interesting way to get a toxin into the HQ. Make the toxin gas-based, and aim at Go-Busters generously.

PR casting stuff.

First two Akiba episodes.

Not funny, didn't get references to the Japanese stuff, not good, not bad, just...there. One more episode, and I'm done. I want to see AkibaRun.
