Liveman and Jetman were among the first pre-Zyuranger shows to have complete (and GOOD) fansubs, so I think it's a bit of hype backlash. Thankfully, fansubs have given some shows more respect in the community as the subs have been completed (i.e. Maskman, Megaranger, and Gingaman).PMell2293https://www.blogger.com/profile/10500927547050548092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696720423221574873.post-34804881514096603902017-08-13T05:10:09.100-07:002017-08-13T05:10:09.100-07:00Ah, so you think it's the Banba/Big One Situat...Ah, so you think it's the Banba/Big One Situation? (I don't think seeing Yuusuke in Gaoranger is as drastic as seeing Banba in the movie and expecting him to be like that in the show.)<br /><br />I feel like the fandom has taken this turn where...there was a time when people were serious about these shows, and wanted these shows to be taken seriously. Now it's cool to just laugh everything off and make fun of stuff. So things that once rated Legend-Tier for being good and taking things seriously -- Liveman or Jetman or the Riders from the early '00s -- things that once got praised, are snickered at. (The only Legend Tier shows that haven't been turned on are Metalder and Kuuga. Where's the backlash for those two? They could use it.)Shougo B'Stardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461619937425923518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696720423221574873.post-32373821426450696292017-08-13T05:09:22.283-07:002017-08-13T05:09:22.283-07:00The people who poke fun at characters dying in Liv...The people who poke fun at characters dying in Liveman better not be fans of early Heisei Kamen Rider. NOBODY ever gets saved in shows like Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki or Faiz. Japan shouldn't even have a population by the end of Kuuga or Agito.<br /><br />It's sad that Liveman softens itself up so much, but, no, it definitely doesn't reach a Ryuki level. Liveman remains watchable. Ryuki gets so unwatchably bad and stupid that it backwashes onto the parts that you thought were good, so you're left with a mess that just pisses you off and makes you regret the time you spent with it.Shougo B'Stardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461619937425923518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696720423221574873.post-2716179305433130912017-08-13T05:08:29.072-07:002017-08-13T05:08:29.072-07:00Well, stay tuned!Well, stay tuned!Shougo B'Stardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461619937425923518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696720423221574873.post-64364838963065293682017-08-07T19:56:17.310-07:002017-08-07T19:56:17.310-07:00I think the thing that bothers a lot of newer fans...I think the thing that bothers a lot of newer fans is that they're jumping into the show based on reputation and, well, Gaoranger vs Super Sentai. Can the series really live up to expectations based on how rad Yuusuke was for only a brief appearance? Being a little more realistic on a newcomer's part would probably make the series more enjoyable...<br /><br />Maybe it helps to go into this show unprovoked. I seemed to enjoy it a lot more than most. Looking forward to more posts.

Wurst heroez"..."But Showgo, everywon dies! Wurst heroez"<br />I kid, I kid. Liveman's a fun show filled with a trio that I could never choose between. Even when it stumbles, I think Soda still had it in him to deliver a fair show and not go way off-kilter like say, Ryuki. (Butt and Green Butt can go away, though)<br /><br />Looking forward to more of these.Painted Outlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772097004882570565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696720423221574873.post-16623444878307064782017-08-06T17:08:38.593-07:002017-08-06T17:08:38.593-07:00The series ending badly intrigues me and i want to...The series ending badly intrigues me and i want to know you thoughts on itDigitalbravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18063518681628113009noreply@blogger.com
