Final Thoughts: Fall 2012



 Final Thoughts: Fall 2012

It’s the end of another year, and as such the end of another anime season. This season was surprisingly emotional. But before we get the shows that ended this season, let’s look at the shows that I will continue to watch into the next season.

Engine Sentai Go-onger



Engine Sentai Go-onger Review

When I was a kid, I loved Power Rangers. I loved the action, I loved then characters, I loved the mecha fights, I loved the villains, and basically I loved everything about the show. I watched it religiously; right up instill Power Rangers SPD. I started sleeping in more, so I would miss the initial broadcast, and I just started to drift away. I would sometimes watch a random episode if I would happen to catch it, but I was no longer invested. But then college happened. It was here that I found a love of tokusatsu, and I learned where the action scenes and some of the plots for Power Rangers came from. I was ecstatic, and decided to watch some of the more recent seasons. I watch Jungle Fury, and liked it well enough, it has some problems but overall I feel it is an underrated season. And then I watched Power Rangers RPM at the insistence of a friend, and it was amazing. A post-apocalyptic Power Ranger season with little filler episodes, good acting, a great plot, and some of my favorite characters in the show since Adam and Tommy from the old seasons, made this one of the best seasons of Power Rangers since In Space. With this knowledge, I decided to watch the RPM’s Sentai equivalent, and let me tell you I am still recovering from the whiplash. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This is Engine Sentai Go-onger.
