Meh, mediocre team-up with Lightspeed Rescue. Not that Timeranger VS GoGoFive is any great shakes -- it's seriously one of the more underwhelming versus movies in a sea of underwhelming versus movies -- but this thing's just going through the motions in terms of story, but cranking everything else to 11. Villains are large and hammy, the action is Koichi Sakamoto going insane. A lot of noise, little substance. While I think the Lightspeed Rescue cast seems decent, I still wouldn't want to watch it since I like GoGoFive so much. It would be really difficult to get past how ingrained that show is on me.
A couple of things to note. In this, Trip recognizes the Lightspeed Rescue. In Time VS GoGo, only Tatsuya knew who the GoGoFive was, with the others being like "Who?" It made sense that the ones from 1,000 years into the future didn't recognize them, and that was actually kinda funny.
This episode ends with the Time Force gifting the Lightspeed Rescue their cop uniforms, with the Lightspeed Rescue gifting the Time Force their jackets in return. A little weird, but it beats giggling awkwardly at each other for the entire duration of the ending credits as seen in Time VS GoGo. Also: the Time Force uniforms are probably made from material not yet invented. Timeline tampering! Time Force, you're supposed to be fighting this stuff. Who do you think you are to be so reckless, the Timeranger?
"There is alot of noise"
ReplyDeleteFor the Timeranger/GoGoFive crossover, I found it to be pretty decent myself. Hmmm speaking of reckless - I do agree that the Timerangers are indeed reckless with what they do.
