Is it weird that I remember it starts with Gosei because of Goseigers? Well time to jump in no? Tenshin da! Kiryoku da!

A few era-style special effects thrown in again. Oh man, those old spark globes that would conglomerate where ever you place your hand. They are a total blast from the past!

I do like how the mecha is moving according to Dairanger red’s movements in the cockpit. You don’t see that often! Well Shun does that to a degree in Kamen Rider Fourze’s mecha. [I will miss him!] And-d-d evil dude is down! Or is he really? You never can be sure. The great windmill reminds me of Magi Pink’s or any of the newer pink rangers that their element is wind. Or the flying embers when you burn something down would probably work better here since red’s element is fire.

I thought “Oni-chan” meant brother not “dude” but I’m guessing that he’s not really related to the boxer in the ring. [Friend clarified this for me: “Depends on who's saying it to whom. It can be meant in the same way we say "dude" or "bro" to friends/gang members/homies.” Ok now I get it!]

They reused a setting again we saw in the first episode, giving it some solidary to places. I’m trying to think if any of the newer Super Sentai/Kamen Rider series does this. Besides their main headquarters I mean. Again where we see the villain in front of that same setting we saw the last villain in human form. I would like some change-up here. The part where Blue Dairanger says he’s pathetic since he couldn’t save his friend is sappy and silly. Red Dairanger could not save his sister in the last episode though he did not know about fortification into the Red Dairanger. Oh gud, red hamburger made by mom? That just made me laugh. Interesting how these footmen are actually talking then the newer footmen even going as far as these Cotpotros using code-words.

And we see the ship again. Not that I do not mind them using the same places over again, I would have liked to seen them another episode not right after we had just seen them in the last episode. Some of the older doctor who suffers from reused sites also but they like to space them out, though loads of reused sites were in old rock mines.

How does not move from there mean let’s go monkey bar under the bridge? Oh well, very rash he seems. And the Toclafane have returned again! I will just refer to the balls floating in the air as the Toclafane for now. [For those who are not familiar with Doctor Who: click Toclafane to be taken to a wikia about them] For some strange reason Shinken Red/Lord when he get’s stuck in a neko cat pose just popped into my head. But instead of Shinken Red/Lord it is Pink Dairanger/Lin instead. Is Lin able to hear what is going on around her, I wonder since she moved her head in that one scene.

Enjoyed that it was not the Red Dairanger that said their main saying and he wasn’t in the middle. I can not think of any other Super Sentai that has a different ranger say their main saying. Not sure about this whole cheeky/taunting going on in each episode or so it seems. Oh cool this part did not need a mecha. I like that. It was slightly mecha-less if you do not count the mecha battle that spilled over from the first episode.

Screencap Gallery:

Now I have watched the older Doctor Who back in black in white so I am familiar with bad special effects. There are some iffy special effects but they do not take away from watching.

The little boy with the yo-yo begs the question: is he suppose to resemble a nerd? Reminds me of the doll suicide arc from Puppetmaster Sakon for some reason. I know it’s the subbing but You-Power? That sounds really odd. A few scenes/similar items that I’ve seen in other shows keeps on popping up. The globes that you see behind Lieutenant Colonel Gara, made me instantly think of the Toclafane. The bike-chase scene reminds me of that Ch0 Den-O movie where we meet Yuu. The waiters hitting their friends on the bikes was funny. Looks like there will be some laughter for me in this series.

The rangers totally have their own style you can see it when they fight. Some use only their legs others use their staffs. Is Qi similar to telekinesis? That’s what it seems like, well for the Red Ranger at least. Near the end the special effects of that era really stand out, but I’m fine with that. My question is does only the Red Ranger have his beast with him? That’s what it seems like right now.

On to the next episode! Review for it will be posted tomorrow I hope! Ooooo next episode looks interesting.
Op: Ok… Interesting.
Ed: Lots of chanting style & very little eye candy since most of the scenes are reused

Edit: Forgot to add the screencaps I took Oops!

Blue Swallow from Choujin Sentai Jetman

10. Blue Swallow (Jetman)

This is a series I haven’t seen, however one look at the outfit and I did fall in love with it.  Perhaps it’s because blue is one of my favorite colors but it’s not fair to say that’s the reason.  What I do know about Jetman is the bird motif their costumes are supposed to reflect.  While each of the costumes has a similar design patter, their color combinations and/or cut of the outfit don’t look right.  The male costumes look a little awkward and the colors for White Swan look a tad bit awkward (with the pink leggings instead of white like the rest of the team).

Blue Swallow’s blue, white, and yellow combination is beautiful and her helmet wonderfully reflects her animal, the Swallow.

HououRanger from Gosei Sentai Dairanger

9. HououRanger (Dairanger)

Pink is not one of my favorite colors, but goodness!  Is her costume not gorgeous?  The helmet detail is a bit small to make out on the image there but you can see it better here.  Lovely gold and black detail.  I feel like the skirt aspect of the female sentai outfits give their costumes a little more to look at than the male costumes.  The only thing that sets her costume a part from the other members of her team are 1) color combination (and the pink, gold, and white is beautiful), and her helmet design (which reflects a phoenix) which is sleek, detailed but not so much that it looks cluttered, and beautiful.

AbareMax from Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger

8. AbareMax (Abaranger)

Now I said that generally I prefer the female costumes over the male ones but that isn’t always the case.  AbareMax is pretty much a secondary variation of AbareRed.  The Abaranger costumes alone are fairly dull.  Really it’s just their respective color plus white (or for AbareBlack, his color plus gold).  But AbareMax’s suit is just fun.  AbareRed (Ryouga) can change into AbareMax when he’s given enough “Dino Guts”, which he usually get’s from AbareYellow and AbareBlue so the colors change from red and white to red, gold/yellow, and blue.  While I’m not sure how mixing the Dino Guts of a Tyrannosaurus, Pterosaur, and Triceratops creates a Styracosaurus, it doesn’t matter.  This suit is just awesome.

AbareKiller from Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger

7. AbareKiller (Abaranger)

Yet another Abaranger suit and while I’m generally a sucker to detail and colors, AbareKiller’s outfit is just a simple black and white with gold trim.  It’s sharp, clean and sleek.  As for the helmet, it’s simple, has a small motif that reflects his Bakuyuu (a Tupuxuara named Top Galer), and the design of the section that allows for visibility feels sinister.  Having red be there instead of the black sunglasses look the other helmets have could be the reason why.  If there’s any outfit that perfectly matches the personality of the person that it goes with, it has to be AbareKiller’s…well it matches his personality well before he decided to be good anyways.  Either way, it’s an epic suit.

Legend MagiBlue from Mahou Sentai Magiranger

6. Legend MagiBlue (Magiranger)

Tough choice between her legend form and her regular form but the sucker for detail that I am, I had to go for legend form for a few reasons.  Firstly, no cape.  The capes themselves are nice and flowing but they don’t need to be there.  Secondly, the boots, the gloves, and the chest/shoulder armor.  While I don’t really care for them on the other suits, somehow it works with MagiBlue.  Something about the blue and gold combination…I like it.  And thirdly, the helmet itself.  I was already a sucker for the mermaid fin design it has.  But I find myself really liking the dorsal fin at the top.  The only part of the legend helmet design that I don’t like is the back of it.  That aside, it’s still a gorgeous suit (though if I were to ever attempt cosplaying her, I’m sure I would just go for regular MagiBlue…capes are useless but they’re also fun and flowing).

Gokai Silver from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger

5. Gokai Silver (Gokaiger)

I generally like the 6th ranger costumes and his is no exception.  Love the anchor design on the helmet.  The yellow as the section for visibility just looks awesome.  Not to mention it looks like one of the world’s coolest pairs of goggles for some reason.  While I might not be a fan of gold accented with a little bit of silver, I am a fan of silver accented with a little bit of gold.  Plus a silver and black color combination is just something that I love (as it will show up a bit later on in this countdown).  Aside from his helmet, the actual cut of his suit is no different than the rest of the Gokaigers  So when it comes down to which Gokaiger suits I like best, the only factors I can judge are helmets and colors.  Speaking of which…

Gokai Pink from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger

4. Gokai Pink (Gokaiger)

Like I said earlier, pink is not one of my favorite colors, but I just absolutely love Gokai Pink’s suit.  And like with Gokai Silver, this really comes down to the helmet design.  The helmet’s just adorable with that heart design on the front.  And the pink with that bit of a pirate hat design is just too adorable for words.  When you think pirates, I’m sure the color pink is the furthest thing on your mind but in Gokaiger they make it work.  It’s sweet and feminine, just like the character behind the suit (Ahim) and somehow I fell in love with it just for that.  In fact I’d have to say that it’s this suit alone that makes me like the color pink more that I did before.

Shinken Gold from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger

3. ShinkenGold (Shinkenger)

It’s interesting…I was introduced to this character not though watching Shinkenger but from watching Power Rangers Samurai.  As soon as he entered the series, not only did I fall in love with his character, but his suit as well.  Never did I think that I’d like the combination of gold and navy blue but then again I do think that gold and blue is a beautiful color combination.  I must admit thought that mostly this outfit appeals to my love of all things shiny (seriously…do you see how amazingly shiny that fabric and the helmet is?), but really I do love the colors and I love the helmet design.  Great suit for a great character.

GekiViolet from Jyuken Sentai Gekiranger

2. GekiViolet (Gekiranger)

Out of all the series that I’ve watched so far, my least favorite suits have to come from Gekiranger.  They’re just bland.  Nothing special to them until they go into super geki mode.  But still they feel bland.  And then Gou was introduced.  And once he was able to transform (well into a sentai and not a werewolf…that was cool too though), we see this.  And my first thought was “It looks like a hockey uniform but who cares it’s awesome!” or something like that.  It’s a great change of pace from the dull two toned suits the other 3 rangers had.  While his helmet looks more feline than wolf-like, it’s still a very awesome design.

Go-On Silver from Engine Sentai Go-Onger

1. Go-On Silver (Go-Onger)

Again, this is another one where it came down to color and helmet design.  Like her brother (Hiroto/Go-On Gold), they both have a similar suit design save the helmets themselves.  But the silver and black design is more aesthetically pleasing to me.  And as for the helmet, I much prefer the design of Miu’s over the cross one for Hiroto.  This is pretty much that appeals to me on all levels.  It appeals to my love of all things shiny, it’s clean, sleek, has beautiful colors, is simple yet detailed, and easily reflects the pilot theme that the Go-On Wings needed to have.

And thus concludes my list of my personal favorite sentai outfits.  I hope you enjoyed it.  Is there anything that you would’ve wished to see on the list?  Or what are your favorite sentai/Power Rangers suits?
