First episode impressions: Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger

Alright, for this post, which may be my last text based one for a while before switching to video reviews that parody the nostalgia critic somewhat (no I am not following the example set by that awful Irate Gamer), I am going to be giving my first impression on the first episode of the newest installment of the long running Japanese franchise, Super Sentai. This year, once again for the third time, we are treated to a sentai based around dinosaurs, and judging by the opening, this time there is no yellow ranger! I can probably imagine how this will anger American fans when this series gets adapted into the Power Rangers series around 2017. Overall, the plot of the episode is good, though I cannot get over the fact that they do not do the morphing sequences like they used to, instead it is all done in realtime in the middle of the action, rather than in front of a green screen. Also, the morph, like in the season before, is less detailed than its predecessors, which also makes me mad. Despite the inferior quality morphing sequence, it is a good throwback to the seasons I watched here in America.
