as for ‘why toei’s baby train toy commercial is worth watching’:
It’s written for children in an intelligent way, there are a lot of lessons that I thought were delivered kindly and conscientiously
It’s written intelligently in general, both the heroes and the villains have goals with a lot of room for interesting progression; the heroes start with trying to regain their memories, the villains start with trying to resurrect the emperor of darkness, and both storylines are balanced really well. Some of those twists and developments Got Me
It’s mostly lighthearted, very sincere, and some of the emotional beats are really devastating… episode 32 does make me tear up every watch
The fight choreography is fun! Since the theme is imagination, they can get pretty goofy/playful in some eps
One of the gimmicks is that the sentai team can switch colors, which means while it has a traditionally structured sentai team—male red, 2 girls and 3 guys—there are times where the gals are red and the guys are pink, and I like that :)
The villain aesthetics
