Samurai Sentai Shinkenger



THE SUMMARY

For 18 generations, samurai of the Shiba House have suppressed the evil intentions of the Gedoushu, malevolent spirits that enter the world of the living from gaps between buildings and other structures from the Sanzu River. Now, the youngest head of the Shiba Clan, Takeru Shiba as Shinken Red must gather his four vassals; Ryunosuke Ikenami as Shinken Blue, Mako Shiraishi as Shinken Pink, Chiaki Tani as Shinken Green and Kotoha Hanaori as Shinken Yellow in order to battle the Gedoushu as the Shinkengers. And they later are joined by Genta Umemori as Shinken Gold who is a childhood friend of Takeru.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before this, I was always wondering whether Toei company would produce Sentai the Samurai type in future after I watched Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger. Now it is coming to be realized. Like Hurricanger, the Japanese culture are mostly emphasized on it. Not only that, the Gedoushu are also based on the Japanese folkore myth! O.O It's very great to see the monster designed into a creative modification after the Japanese folkore myth.

The Shinkenger are quite pleasantly entertaining as they provide comedy into their characters. They are are like children, still need attention from each one. Sometimes they do the silly or stupid thing like they want to show off their Shinkenmaru yet their skill can be troublesome! That's why it ended up by having them scolded by their Jii. I often laugh when they do like that. They may be children in their appearance but really noble at their heart when they are fighting with Gedoushu, without doubting whether their life would be at stake or not, they will fight until the end.

Honestly in my opinion, I found that the mecha as Origami are very ugly and weird. >.<" But when they are combined into Samurai, my jaws dropped down! It's so cool. The Origami can be changed into Emblem mode from Animal mode or vice versa, you see the Shinkengers are holding it. That's it which they can enlarge it using the Shinkenmaru as control sticks. Wow, I never expect that their Origami can be animated at own will. It are very cute "mini fight" when an Origami is attacking other Origami. Hehehe XD

Kamen Rider Decade



THE SUMMARY

The story reveals as in Natsumi Hikari's dream, there are the Rider Army that consisted of many Kamen Riders, all of whom where seemingly defeated by a figure called Kamen Rider Decade. It's all about Rider War.

Waking up from her dream, she has to help her grandfather Eijiro to deal with unsatisfied customers. However, Natsumi know who is the troublemaker, so she goes to see Tsukasa Kadoya who is a man without the memory of his past.


Soon, various holes in everywhere open, allowing the weird monsters rampaging their world. In the bedlam, Natsumi finds a corroded belt and book, recalling it as Decade's from her dream. Tsukasa demands Natsumi to give him the belt and book thus he transforms into Kamen Rider Decade.

They are told by a mysterious man that their world is being superseded by the nine Kamen Rider's world and they must go to their world and defeat the other Kamen Riders to save his own world. Their journey is joined by Natsumi's grandpa and Yuusuke Onodera @ Kamen Rider Kuuga and Kivala of Kiva's World.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm, although I never follow up the previous Kamen Rider series before this Decade, I am kinda blurred about each of their world such like the type of monsters, Kamen Rider's abilities etc. Haha XD Yet, I find its story is very interesting. Why? 10 Kamen Riders!!! Wow!!! They travel to every World to meet Kamen Rider. Not only 10 Kamen Riders, there are extra minor Kamen Rider from some of Worlds included newly introduced Kamen Rider Diend. o.O It's reasonable on why it is all about Rider War.

When I first time watched the Kamen Rider Decade, his helmet design really didnt' resemble beetle at all to me. It's very weird and ugly. -__- Hahaha... As I know, the helmet of Kamen Riders are usually designed after beetle. After browsing into Wikipedia, I learnt that Decade's helmet design is based on striped shield bug... Oh, it then becomes more much logical after all. XD

I think Tsukasa is more mysterious person as he can't remember who he is, where he comes from but he is able to remember how to transform into Kamen Rider Decade and use Decade's abilities. Not only that, he also know the type of monsters from each World. He also always brings his camera everywhere. The photos that are captured are often not clear or blurry. What's the real use of this camera? That makes me more curious about him!

Oh ya, I will include the youtube.com link for each episode in comment box. They of course, are subbed in English. Don't worry. ;)

Engine Sentai Go-Onger



If you are Grand Prix fan or any vehicle freak or Transformers fan, I'd like to recommend you this Japanese tokusatsu serial drama, Engine Sentai Go-Onger, which is currently on-going in Japan now. It's one of Toei Company's thirty-two Super Sentai serial dramas for this year. This year, Toei Company brings the motif of animals in this Go-Onger and magnifies on the motor industry and environmental issues as well.

THE SUMMARY

The peace in our Earth, more known as the Human World is being interrupted by some enemies known as the Barbaric Machine Clan Gaiark who escaped from Machine World after losing in the war. The Machine World is the one of the eleven Frame Dimension including our realm, Human World and the Machine World is the homes to the giant vehicular beings called Engines. Before that, the Engines has waged a war against the Gaiark who wish to pollute their world. Upon the Gaiark's defeat, they got through time and space to escape and ended up on the Earth.

The Gaiark sees the Human World as a good location which they can pollute to the perfection which refers to their own ideal paradise. So they begin wrecking havoc on the Earth by sending their machine beasts to pollute the lands, lakes or air. Luckily, the Engines managed to pursue them to Earth thus recruit three humans to be their partners, the Go-Ongers since they cannot exist in giant form and thus remove their Engine Souls to assume small forms called Engine Casts. Later the teams are joined by two more Go-Ongers whose two Engines managed to enter the Human World as well along with the legendary Gian Engine Carrigator!

Now together the Go-Ongers with the Engines have to fight the Gaiark in order to protect the Human World and other Dimension World.

Well..
A few months ago when I feel bored and wanna get rid of boredness, so I browsed into www.youtube.com and came across this Japanese tokusatsu television drama, Go-Onger. I found out that this drama is a very interesting and funny story. ^_^

Totally different from the previous dramas, the heroes acted such childish and innocent kids.. they always picked on each others for small things...which makes me laugh of loud until my parents thought I went nutty. XD Their portraying own character are very satisfying yet at children level. =P

What's more is that the Mecha in this serial drama called the Engines. Also different from the other Mecha in the previous ones, the Engines are really a giant vehicular being and they even can talk... wow wow!!! When they are not in Engine mode, they would appear out from their morpher and looks like a chibi in 2D form. Very cute ^_^

To follow this serial drama, you can surf into www.veoh.com and type "Go-Onger" as key search. There also have some videos that are available with the English subtitle. FYI, the Go-Onger serial drama is no longer available on www.youtube.com.

Oh yeah, the status of Go-Onger is still on-going in Japan for now on... What's more is that soon or later, the Go-Ongers will be joined by new Go-Onger and also perhaps many Engines come to their aid.. Sounds curious? See it for yourself.. Enjoy it ^_^
