Family, Code Geass, and Other Things I've Put Off For Far Too Long

Back in K-town and it feels . . . the same. Oh well, at least there is free food this time, and now I have time to catch up on everything. Gonna be watching the end of Code Geass R2 tonight, so I might be ranting on that in the morning, but more importantly, the first part of the Chou Den-o movie trilogy is out. :-/ . . . At least it's something to watch.



Also just finished Kirby Squeak Squad, which was kinda fun. What you'd expect from a Kirby game. Should have a review of that and Fallout:NV by Sunday at the latest. If I can get and watch OOO 11, I should have a review of that by Thursday.

And I'm sure many of you have noticed the lack of Super Sentai coverage. There is a reason for that: Goseiger sucks. I'm gonna finish it on principle, but if you haven;t started it, don't. Just re-watch Shinkenger or Go-onger, which are infinitely better.

Why is it so bad? Alata, for starters. He's one of the most worthless red rangers ever, plus he's absolutely hopeless. For those who don't know, the Goseigers are part of a league of angels who protect the Earth. This team, composed mainly of rookies, becomes trapped on Earth when . . . snore. . .
Ah, even explaining it is freaking boring. Later in the series, the pick up a kid, force him to give them a place to stay after they save his life or whatever, and things get stupider with each episode. The powers a terrible, the equipment is not cool in the least, and the mecha is almost as complex as Go-Onger, only not in a funny, quirky way. The entire series is forgettable

Now the next Super Sentai series sounds amazing. Entitled Kaizoku Sentai Goukaiger (which translates to Pirate Squadron Goukaiger), the series will feature a five-man team of time/space/dimension traveling pirates who meet previous rangers and collect their powers. A tie-in to the Super Sentai anniversary, this series sounds like it's going to be like Kamen Rider Decade on speed.
The Goukaiger team will be fighting Ghost Pirates (not Pirate Ghost, since they are ghost that made a decision to become pirates), and instead of having forms of their own, the rangers will take on the forms of past rangers.


Sounds awesome right? Inoright! They do have their own mecha, and each ranger will also be equipped with a pirate sword. Not much else is know about the series at this time, but keep an eye out for it in 2011.
