So I'm going nuts because I have no idea what the Zyuohger's are actually saying when the sub says "instincts awakened." Same thing with "Ginga rebirth" and "suit up." Can someone transliterate those phrases for me?

Thanks!

Ginga rebirth: ginga tensei
Instincts Awaken: honno kakusei

Where did you get "suit up" from? If you tell me the series I'll know the proper transformation call by heart.

I'm guessing "Suit up" is from Gogo Five.

"Suit Up" is GoGoV.

Thanks for the transliterations!

From the Gogo Five wiki page: Go Go Brace (ゴーゴーブレス Gō Gō Buresu?): The Go Go Brace is the team's transformation devices. The team transforms by opening the faceplate on the brace with the activation call "Suit up!" (着装 Chakusō?) before pressing a button to activate it.

"Chakusou" is also, coincidentally, Space Sheriff Sharivan's transformation call. And I think it's used in a Chou Sei Shin show as well. It's a phrase that finds its way around toku.

The word for "launch" or "take off" or the like is also very popular. And that gets translated into all sorts of different phrases in various Gundam series. I did hear it in a Super Sentai series, maybe even GoGoV, but I can't remember for certain.

Another thing that drives me nuts is the translation being used in the introduction to Zyuohger. The sub I'm watching has seemingly settled on "caravan" which makes no sense. The wiki page has this quote:

"Earth..home to countless forms of life. A Human and 4 Zyumen have met each other, forming their own herd to defend this planet!"

But wouldn't pack make more sense than herd? In English anyway, I have no idea what the Japanese word is so if it translates to herd then herd it is.

First look at the Ranger suits for the Power Rangers remake movie:



They're apparently supposed to be alien suits that grow around the wearers' bodies.

Wow, that looks awesome, though it'll definitely clash if the movie is too cheesy. At any rate, can't wait to see the 'Zords

[Sabrblade]

And yet the girls have big boob-hugging sacks and impractically high heels built into their suits. Progressive!

Honestly, I hardly noticed that until you pointed it out, but if it grows around them, then the tight chests at least makes some sense, the shoes, well, not so much, but I digress...

[Sabrblade]

Also,



You don't think... Would they?

[Madeus Prime]

I actually like them. Yeah they hug the girl's a bit tight, and yes, the pump heels are a bit much. But I think they look great as a Pacific Rim-ish, Man of Steel-esque armored suit. I do like the glowing lines though!

[Bradimus]

It's an interesting re-imagining of the entire concept. When I first looked at them I thought Rita's armor looked very similar, and seeing the side by side image makes me think Rita's armor is what's left of the Power Ranger armor Zordon is arming the teens with. So maybe Rita and Zordon will have a very interesting history?

[Sabrblade]

Also, about the glowing Iron Man-esque energy chambers on their chests...

[Bradimus]

I stumbled across this:







Also, it would be really cool if the mouths moved on the movie rangers helmets when they speak.

[wilcosu35]

That is actually very well-done

I don't know what TV-Nihon is doing but I hate it on principle.
Meanwhile Over-Time is deliberately changing the phrasing each week to a different word for a specific group of animals. Flock, herd, congress, etc. I think that's kind of clever.


regarding the new Ranger suits, I'm kind of indifferent to them. I wish the helmets were more defined and unique. I'm a bit annoyed that the girls have heels and huge breasts because OMG GIRLS. These are early designs, though, so they may be tweaked by the time the film comes out. Especially if (god help us) the suits are CG.

I'm not watching TV-Nihon. I was watching Over-Time until my streaming source disappeared so I went to a different source that is something else but still gets it wrong and I don't think it's intentional.

[King Kuuga]

I didn't even realize anybody other than TVN or OT were subbing this in English. As it stands I just download from OT each week (automatically even) so I don't have to worry about getting different subs.

[Madeus Prime]

I just use KissAsian to watch my toku shows. Good hosting, fast loading for my computer and multiple quality settings besides 360p and 720p

[King Kuuga]

I'm good.

[Bradimus]

I'm good.

Only 448 GB of free space. I'd say you're more than good.

[King Kuuga]

It was worse when I kept my anime on there, too. The disc almost filled up. Ultimately I bought another external hard drive and split them off, and then started downloading a bunch more stuff to get to where I am now.

Of course you did.


In Sentai watching news, I'm through episode 31 of GoGoV so I watched the team up with Gingaman. It was good, one of the better ones, actually. Somehow those too series' characters matched up well. But I like Gingaman vs. Megaranger better because Kenta was too funny in that one. What a great character.

If only the same could be said for its Power Rangers counterpart, "Trakeena's Revenge", which sadly wasn't one of the better team ups.

So, some new forms and a new rider for Kamen Rider Ghost!



So the crystalline form is the Mugen Damashii, getting a heavy Wizard vibe and an X Exceed vibe

The black and white repaint of Boost is Kamen Rider Dark Ghost, along with two new forms owned by him, the usual evil repaint for their summer movie.

Blue with the hat is the Napoleon Damashii, which looks pretty awesome, can't figure out what the faceplate is based on...

And the Orange one is the long overdue Darwin, with a taxonomic chart as a FACE!

Only thing I wish was that Dark Ghost was using more forms based on villains of history, like Napoleon, Alexander (or Julius Caesar), or Genghis Khan.
