Hurricanger Thoughts

I just finished watching Hurricanger, which now makes 7 sentai series finished. Now Hurricanger is a bit of a odd show as normally a toku show would normally be a little bit more comedy or more serious but Hurricanger manages to stay right in the middle with a little bit of comedy to it. but there are a couple problems about the series in all. The first problem is there are about two or three episodes where there is one character who forgets the stuff they have learned and relearn it in that episode, the second problem i have is that they are supposed to be ninjas and yet they do not do many ninja stuff like in some episodes that they can jump long distances in a short time but they almost always end up using their hang gliders or they run and they have all these techniques but they use the same moves over and over and my final problem is the ending now the ending is really good except in the beginning like ninja storm the schools the Hurricangers and Gouraijers are captured and it is never established that they are dead or not and yet in the ending only the Hurricangers and Gouraijers are shown and the other students are never shown after the first episode and flashbacks so in that way i prefer the ninja storm ending a little better as a ending but i still like think as a series is a lot better as a whole and megazords are some of my favorite designs and as characters go i think that the Hurricangers are better even though they have very few character development episodes so overall i do like Hurricanger as a show even though somewhere between 45 and 50 it does go a little slow it is worth a watch 7/10

The return of Kei Kishimoto

I just read the new chapter of gantz and in it came the return of one of my most hated characters in Kei Kishimoto. now when the readers were introduced to her in the first chapters i was like many where i thought she was hot and i would like her but as the chapters went on her personalty began to show. now at first Kei Kurono tries to hook up with Kei Kishimoto as Kei Kishimoto develops  feelings for Kei's best friend Masaru but she cant live with him because of his family so she goes and lives with Kei. now here is when she starts pissing me off because Kei is giving her his bed now granted they both have to sleep there and if i remember she uses sex to pay for rent but it has been two to three years since I read it but even after giving her a roof to live under and food to eat and a shower to keep herself clean, SHE IS A FUCKING BITCH. while yes Kei did grope her and try to have sex with her over and over until she finally gives in yet still every time is in the same room as Masaru, she runs right to him and avoid Kei all together, even asking him to be his pet and even when they are in Kei's home she does not stop talking about Masaru nonstop. she did die when she sacrificed herself to save Masaru from dying while he indeed does die later but was brought back. but now Kei was brought back and I am not looking foreward to it because I absolutely can not stand her as a fucking person in manga or real life, and while gantz has benn going downhill i will do a review when no if the series ends
