Boonboomger is really about “the world is dark and run by monster paid by other monsters, and people with power are selfish, and the police will turn on you if the powers that be demand it, even the ones you think are your friends, and adults that help you “grow up fast” don’t see you as adults, but by god, why let it get worse? Why not stand up and fight anyways? Why not be the adult you needed when you were young and scared? There are people who will make you feel whole. Surely Tomorrow Will Be A Beautiful Day.”

I gotta say that I love how every time the Geats team came back so far they went “wow Sara was amazing, let’s make another one” and we all went “wow Sachika and Minami are amazing”

Michinaga is so consistent. He grows but he doesn’t change. He believes that happiness is just living with the simple things needed to be happy like food. He knows the world isn’t about grand ideals but has assigned himself to the endless task of destroying the systems that cause suffering. He wants to care and never knows quite how.

“My wish is to crush selfish Riders like you” to “This is about those who hurt others for the sake of their own happiness”, he is the same, But he is kinder, and he is happier, and he is more mature.

So Toku is always hilarious to talk about but Geats has to be one of my favorites bc one sec I’m thinking about the thematic core of Geats being rooted in the dehumanization of the entertainment industry and how Geats successfully balanced fan expectations with fans who genuinely care and the pull of both executive influences and fan influences and the next moment I’m like “okay so in the among us round—”

It’s weird being a Toku fan in the middle of the american entertainment strike bc like. Luckily I run no risk of my favorite shows being paused or canceled. But also I am very aware it would be very good if the Japanese entertainment industry got its own major overhaul.

Geats ot4 is so much comedy bc Keiwa and Michinaga have the most Just Some Guy styles and their boyfriend and girlfriend are STYLISH INFLUENCERS but like Ace and Neon definitely go back and forth on forcibly providing them with new clothes due to the fact that Kekera and Beroba dressed their Oshis up for their evil eras. Cut to Keiwa and Michinaga in the ugliest fucking rental suits at a party and Ace just instantly breaking and taking them shopping.

Okay but Michinaga’s final form weapon being a giant claw shield????

It’s large and it’s unwieldy and it’s dangerous and it’s violent but not for a moment does Michinaga not have control of it. He can only use something like this BECAUSE of how much control he has. It is his base form extended, not something new. Because what he is good at, he knows and he’s mastered.

But more importantly it is a SHIELD. It’s not just an offensive weapon. In a movie about showing and saying that he is not the same, that the Jyamato are only evil if they choose it and everyone has a heart, this twisted power builds not on his theme of undead but of invincible. This was a power made to defend.

Michinaga doesn’t have to be a force of destruction anymore, but he is no less powerful for it.

Actually the most insane thing to me about Ayaka Loves Hiroko isn’t even that Hiroko has a sempai named Chinatsu who absolutely looks like a lesbian version of Takatora it’s that the screenwriter had a goddamn Ranger Wiki page.

She did Kaku30, Mama League, DONBURIS, and now the fucking Natsumi Hikari GL
