Sunday Henshin Time S02E06 – Girls with Scoville Units

PISODES COVERED: Kamen Rider Hibiki Episodes 7-12 Timestamps 0:01:51 - Toku News 0:10:57 - General Discussion 0:58:14 - Actor Highlights 1:23:20 - Scoring 2:39:10 - Outro It's impossible to watch this show and not feel for the production team and the studio politics sabotaging them in real time, but also, it's hard to know what this show would do with much of its runtime otherwise? Yes, the worst parts of this show are when it's being a Kamen Rider show. But without them, what do you have? Just a show about a kid who's a bit immature for his age, but connects with a really cool dude in his late 30s, and uses that relationship and his admiration of that man to bit by bit work on his life and better himself? ...Wait, I think that would just work.

Sunday Henshin Time S02E05 – Pee That Makes You Fast

EPISODES COVERED: Mahou Sentai Magiranger Episodes 7-12 Timestamps 0:01:59 - Toku News 0:06:22 - General Discussion 0:34:07 - Actor Highlights 1:12:41 - Scoring 2:22:17 - Outro The stocks are soaring for some of our characters on this batch of episodes, despite some real rough goings with the writing. There is an eventual rise but the show doesn't do itself any favors with many of the narrative and world-building choices. The scoring of this set is one of the most contentious we've had on this pod yet, but the Rangers pull off some real magic as they lock in their first S-Rank episode. Let's hope some stinkers can't keep them too down.

Sunday Henshin Time S02E04 – CAKE FACTORY

EPISODES COVERED: Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart! Episodes 7-12 Timestamps 0:07:40 - Toku News 0:24:06 - General Discussion 0:52:29 - Actor Highlights 1:14:54 - Scoring 2:32:02 - Outro Perhaps Pretty Cure is gonna run away with it again. This set of episodes is maybe the best we've ever had on this show, with some genuinely all time stuff, and we're left floored. Porun is a great character, Hikari is coming into her own, Honoka is good as ever. If only we didn't have some serious character assassination of Nagisa in these episodes, I'd have almost nothing bad to say.

Sunday Henshin Time S02E03 – Series of Crab JPGs

EPISODES COVERED: Kamen Rider Hibiki Episodes 1-6 Time Stamps 0:02:54 - General Discussion 0:52:43 - Actor Highlights 1:13:55 - Scoring 2:03:56 - Outro The reputation of Kamen Rider Hibiki precedes it, and it is not entirely positive. Aesthetically, narratively, and production wise, this show is considered the weird one. So much of this show stands out like a sore thumb, and these first couple of episodes reflect that rocky start. Our heroes are a bit out of sorts and spending a lot of time in the woods as we critics need to map this territory out. It's a bit troubled, but we are already able to find a lot to like.

Sunday Henshin Time S02E02 – The Ostensible Senpai

EPISODES COVERED: Mahou Sentai Magiranger Episodes 1-6 Time Stamps 0:02:45 - Toku News 0:11:57 - General Discussion 1:08:17 - Actor Highlights 1:37:27 - Scoring 2:23:53 - Outro It's a good thing that the Dekarangers never claimed to be family, because when a company says you're family, it's a red flag they're trying to engender loyalty in employees so it can mercilessly f- mm, sorry, kid's show, mistreat them. But this season on Super Sentai, our rangers literally are a family. With no parents around to monitor their behavior, just how toxic will these siblings start treating each other? I don't think this show will go too dark, but there are already signs that they aren't being super cool with each other- even signs the show itself is too sexist to notice. I don't want to end this description with "too sexist," the show's pretty good so far. Magi Magi Magiro!
