Akino Ame 3:19 pm
...You know, I'm kind of confused where Levira fits in the royal family
'Cause the promotional materials said she was a princess, but there's no indication she's anything other than a servant to Prince Whinesalot
Yes. I love that I can give him the same nickname across adaptations
...Casey wrote this episode
"Written by Jason Smith"
Kaitou 3:21 pm
heheh yes
yes he did
Akino Ame 3:21 pm
Hmm. That's a name I don't recognize
The director is Yuji Noguchi
Megaforce Cast and TV.com suggest it's an alias for Akihiro Noguchi, who's been there since the days he was a Putty in MMPR
Kaitou 3:24 pm
he's moving up in the world
Akino Ame 3:24 pm
http://www.megaforcecast.com/crew/akihiro-noguchi.php
Went from mook in MMPR and Zeo to stunts in Turbo movie to stunt coordinator for PRiS and LG. Stunt coordinator/2nd unit director in LR, TF, WF
2nd unit director in MF
Action director in KRDK
And finally director in Samurai and Megaforce
That's an impressive climb up the latter
ladder
One day, a mook can direct
Kaitou 3:26 pm
hehe yeah
Akino Ame 3:26 pm
Isaac Florentine as consultant. Interesting
He's a director from at least PRiS
Pfft, Noah's being adorable
To Emma
"Shh, don't tell anyone, but I'm not just a computer geek. I'm also a superhero from time to time."
Kaitou 3:28 pm
I'm okay with this honestly.
Akino Ame 3:28 pm
Hmm. Wonder if they're pushing a Noah/Emma ship now
He's getting VERY protective
When Skatana says he'll start by attacking the "puny girl," he gets defensive and shouts, "Her name is Emma, and don't talk about her that way!"
But the original episode also was Blue/Pink ship tease too
Kaitou 3:29 pm
it was
I think Casey knows what he's doing honestly
Akino Ame 3:29 pm
Oh yeah
Kaitou 3:29 pm
he's working with very good material
Akino Ame 3:29 pm
Absolutely
And what I like so far? It FEELS original
It doesn't feel like "Well, this is what the Sentai did, so we HAVE to."
Akino Ame 3:30 pm
No. This is what Eddie pulled. It's an original story fitting perfectly with the rest of the show while also using what it CAN from Sentai
THIS is what I'd hoped from Casey
Kaitou 3:30 pm
same, and it's working
Akino Ame 3:31 pm
The monster is focusing on Noah because he's being a little mouthy
Noah challenged HIM
And the guy is getting under his skin, saying that he's hiding behind his teammates
Akino Ame 3:32 pm
And to be fair? The others are like "We have to help Noah." "He's good, but this guy can cut through BUILDINGS."
They think they're helping, but they're wounding his pride
And I LIKE IT
It's BETTER than what we got with Joe
I complained in the original that it really didn't fit as well
Repeatedly
And one thing I really like with PR now is that I can't tell which is original footage and which is Sentai footage EVEN when I've seen the Sentai
I have to LOOK
Really hard
Because they're using the same kind of cameras now
Kaitou 3:34 pm
oh yes
Akino Ame 3:35 pm
Even recognizing locations is getting hard because they're finding places in NZ that match up pretty damn well
Kaitou 3:35 pm
yeah they really are
Akino Ame 3:35 pm
Okay, props on the director
He's CUTTING Green's footage into something infinitely less derpy
Super Mega Green looks like an insanely competent fighter
THIS IS HOW YOU ADAPT
Akino Ame 3:41 pm
Oh that's nice
Jake was originally going to go find Noah
He asked Emma if she'd seen him, since he wasn't in the computer lab like normal. Then he realized Noah must be training, but Mr. Burley needed his help, so he couldn't go. So Emma promised to find him instead
Kaitou 3:42 pm
very good
Akino Ame 3:44 pm
And again, I like that Noah cuts the crap and explains. Explaining that he's shaken up because the monster was just that much stronger. Explaining that he exposed all of his insecurities about being the nerd of the team and holding everyone back
He understands he's part of a team. He's not doing this out of some Andros issue of taking it all on himself. No. He's doing it because he wants the team to be one person stronger
Akino Ame 3:46 pm
I do call bullshit on him splitting a sword in half the long way, though
Akino Ame 3:48 pm
Nice. Finally going to Super Mega Mode first this time
Akino Ame 3:50 pm
I don't remember. Was the action commander all for cheating in Gokaiger?
I want to say he was pissed about the interference. But I might be misremembering because of all the Joe duels
Kaitou 3:51 pm
he was all for winning and if that meant cheating, so be it
I watched the episode
Akino Ame 3:51 pm
Okay. Yeah, same deal
And S'gormin are officially Bruisers. Which I kind of like
Indicates that there's a hierarchy among the mooks here too
You've got your low-level grunt X-Borgs. You want it to hurt? Send out the Bruisers
Akino Ame 3:53 pm
That's why you wrote this one, Casey. JF mode
"Let's show them our full fury!"
You had FUN writing that, didn't you?
Kaitou 3:53 pm
heheh yes it was
Akino Ame 3:55 pm
Still not crazy about most of the baddies' voices other than Prince Whinesalot and Damaras
Kaitou 3:55 pm
I swear the enemy of the day was voiced by Gosei
Akino Ame 3:56 pm
Admittedly, it may because I'm used to their voices being so deep, but I prefer stronger voices for a high-level baddie
Akino Ame 3:58 pm
I still love the stupid 5 swords at once
Kaitou 3:58 pm
it really was
Akino Ame 3:59 pm
It's nice that Gosei Blue was part of the Blue Slash anyway. With the All Blue Final Strike, it's Noah using his OWN power, along with those of some of his predecessors
Kaitou (Shaun Garin) is available 4:01 pm
Akino Ame 4:01 pm
Huh. They unlock MF here
Proving in this version, it's totally arbitrary
Alternatively that they really, REALLY hate MF
Kaitou 4:03 pm
that too but they totally skipped the MF tribute episode in favor for the SPD
Akino Ame 4:03 pm
Which still wasn't as much of a tribute. More that they just unlock the powers because "Fuck it, we unlocked the powers."
Kaitou 4:04 pm
yeah it really wasn't
but as for a solid strong episode? this was a good one
Akino Ame 4:04 pm
Yes
Akino Ame 4:05 pm
Ah
Nice
You know who Skatana was?
Nic Sampson
Mystic Force Yellow
THAT'S how it was a MF tribute
Kaitou 4:06 pm
aaaaaaah
Akino Ame 4:06 pm
A META tribute
Kaitou 4:06 pm
hehe yes
Akino Ame 4:06 pm
I've got to give credit to the guy--I NEVER recognize him
Kaitou 4:07 pm
same here
Akino Ame 4:08 pm
Overall, fantastic episode. And I really hope Jason Smith writes more. So far, he's my new favorite writer
Kaitou 4:08 pm
if he's handling the next series and more episodes of PRSM I can definitely get behind it
...You know, I'm kind of confused where Levira fits in the royal family
'Cause the promotional materials said she was a princess, but there's no indication she's anything other than a servant to Prince Whinesalot
Yes. I love that I can give him the same nickname across adaptations
