Well, here we go again. A new set of notes. Yes, I’m being rather hard on Gunpei at the moment. Yes, he’s an asshole.
Go-Onger ep 2
- Recap: We got chased here by the Engine. Curse them.
- New monster: a water polluter.
- Holo-Engine!
- Lol Sousuke sleeping through recap.
- You know, looking at it… they kind of act like a family. Sousuke’s the immature brat, Ren’s the older brother and Saki’s… the sister. That’s about all I can say about her.
- So, Pipe Banki is our monster. Starts by polluting a… Ren, why are you taking notes? That’s MY job!
- Evil puddles?
- Um… Engines, don’t distract your partners. Oh, wait, it’s Sentai, you can do a full sonnet and they still wouldn’t attack.
- Sniper Shoot and Machine Shoot. They name everything on this, don’t they?
- ‘That should be enough for my test.’ *runs away*
- Bomper and the casts are being kidnapped. By… Gunpei? It’s a douchequake!
- Wait… why are Hanto and Gunpei surprised by things they knew last episode?
- Oh, all this for exposition.
- And again, Gunpei insults the Go-Onger. Man…
- And back to the bad guys. Continuing the polluting story.
- And back to Ren showing off.
- I continue to prefer Dillon to Gunpei. Dillon at least has a reason for being an asshat. Gunpei’s just an asshat because script so far. Really hope that changes.
- The bad guys using their ability to spy on the Go-Onger intelligently? Surprising.
- Exposition! Why they were chosen.
- So, we have a racer, a bus driver and… a food vendor? One of these things isn’t like the other.
- Random rainbow field. How in the world did Bomper do that?
- Gunpei calls them idiots, but if he hadn’t taken the Engine Casts, they wouldn’t be in this position!
- Finally, Gunpei gets a clue. Only took him two episodes.
- Big explosion and… Green and Black!
- And… take a minute to role call… WHILE THE BANKI IS POISONING THE WATER! D’oi!
- I never noticed Green and Black looking away in the line up.
- And straight to Engine-Oh. Like I said, I kind of wish we’d get more individual mecha action.
- ‘It’ll be easier to destroy a larger enemy.’ Um… no, you should have destroyed them while they were small.
- Engine-Oh: Freeway to freedom.
- And the world record holders for a long jump is… XD
- Oh right, Kagereshia has a tendency to get toasted on alcohol. Forgot about that.
This episode underlines of some of the things about Sentai and it’s ilk that confuses friends of mine, as well as how much of a moron Gunpei is at times. Seriously, I miss Dillon already.Pairing of the day!
