satalasers WHAT A CUTE SHOW.
- I'll be honest: I did not expect to like it so much. The first three episodes were rough for me -- even though, when I think back on it, they're fine, actually, as is -- because Yoko and Hiromu did not get on. But then Yoko, who was the most belligerent, realized what the problem was, realized that Hiromu still saw her as that four year old girl who needed protecting, explained to him that she wasn't that person anymore, she could protect herself, and she herself stopped seeing Hiromu as the guy who abandoned them, so they become actual friends again, and it really was smooth sailing from there.
- Saying that, I actually kind of like that rocky patch now, because it shows Yoko and Hiromu's growth, and guess what, by the end, I was shipping them because they're super cute together.
- I also really like Hiromu with the Phantom Thief/Pink Buster Reika, who was definitely flirting with Hiromu and wants to steal his heart. I'm extremely sad she never appears again, because I was extremely charmed by that episode.
- I also super loved Ryuuji. Blue is once again my favourite ranger, just because he's lovely and a big brother to both of them, but also because when he overheats, he has the capacity to go full supervillain and hot headed, and that's actually really fun to watch too.
- I also adored Ryuuji's friendship with Jin, the fourth ranger. I just like how he teases everyone, but especially loves winding up Ryuuji (and Kuroki), and whenever Jin mentored him a bit, I was charmed by their friendship.
- I did not expect to cry over Masato Jin, though. I loved him from the get go, because he's a gadfly, and he's a loser, but he's fun to watch, and he made my heart break. The first time I cried over him was when it was revealed that the more sad he gets, the happier he tries to act, and joke around, and that -- that is incredibly sad, especially since Beet J Stag is the one to reveal it. The next couple of times I cry because of him was the build up into sacrificing himself and knowing he's going to die, but convincing everyone that it's okay, it's going to be fine.
- He dies a hero, sacrificing himself because it's the only way that Enter will die, but god, that made me so sad. I did not want him to die. Kuroki knew the second he died, and god, that tears me up, because they're best friends.
- I did love him goofing off with J though, and how J always tried to steal the limelight, and Jin always getting cross at him for doing so.
- I also liked his past with Yoko's mother, and the episode where Yoko and Jin bond is super sweet.
- I adored the limits those characters had though. The chicken phobia of Hiromu, the need to replenish by eating snacks of Yoko, and the overheating into a supervillain by Ryuuji, super delightful.
- And the buddyroids were so cute! I love how all of them compliment their counterpart so nicely! I love that Chida Nick (a cheetah-inspired bot) is a motorbike, but he's by far the most grounded out of the three, even if he's sometimes dim and gets lost easily. I love that Gorisaki, is a coward and a worrywart, but he's the cutest by far, and he's kind of jealous that Nick and Usada get to be parental figures to their rangers. I also just love that Usada Lettuce and Yoko bicker a lot, but they become a lot closer by the end and don't bicker so much, and so them making up from their fights become very sweet.
- IDK, I just thought all of them were adorable, and it was fun to see them have a robot counterpart, who helped them when they went into mecha mode.
- I actually really liked the homebase crew! I loved how Kuroki was pretty much a father to the three Busters, a little bit strict, but also fair, and shows that he cares in small doses. I liked Nakamura being a big sister to Yoko, and I thought Morishita was great too, though I don't feel like he did as much as the other two. Anyway, them all remaining friends in the epilogue was extremely adorable.
- Let's talk about the villains! The Messiah wasn't much, but I did enjoy his spoilt antics by the end, though I was super shocked that he absorbed Escape just like that, after she did so much for him? Why? That being said, did not expect him to be defeated by the two-thirds point, and Enter takes up the role as final boss.
- I super loved Enter. His devious mind. His french expressions. His costume changes and taunting. I kind of ship Enter/Escape a bit, just because he maybe developed love to save her that one time, and then hates her copies, because they're not quite Escape. He was just fun to watch, and I liked him becoming unstable, and craving perfection. But I also liked Enter/Ryuuji, just a lil bit.
- Escape was cool! I liked how much of a bruiser she was, always up for a fight, and getting drawn to Ryuuji because of it, repeatedly. IDK, she was fun, and chaotic, and I liked how when Enter was cool, Escape was impatient, but when Escape was more strict, Enter became more whimsical.
- Can I just say, Enter implanting the final card into Hiromu, so the only way he could die was if Hiromu died, so Enter could no longer revive himself, is a genius move. Absolutely horrible, but wow, incredible thinking.
- Seeing him get destroyed was absolutely worth it, but oh man, the price it cost was too much.
- Shelly and Sheriff Gavin were cute, but I'm a bit sad they were only two episodes, TBQH.
- I really liked the MMPR references. How cute! It's morphing time!
- The opening song was really good, even if I was confused why that was the tone of the opening? When I expected it to be grittier, for some reason? Anyway, it grew on me, and even if liked the second opening song, part of me did miss the first, and was happy whenever it played in the later episodes.
9.5/10, because Jin's fate makes me so sad, but perfect ten in everything else. It's just a delightful show that I really like.
