TOQGER IS FRIGHTENING AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT

[Akurei Nagisa]

OKAY I DON'T FOLLOW SENTAI AND I'VE ONLY STARTED WATCHING ALL THE KAMEN RIDER STUFF AND KAMEN RIDER IS BETTER ANYWAY BUT I HAVE. TO COMMENT ON THIS. BECAUSE JUSTIN HAS SHOWED ME THIS RESSHA SENTAI TOQGER STUFF AND IT IS SIMULTANEOUSLY LIKE THE BEST THING AND ALSO TERRIBLE.

OKAY HERE IS THE FIRST EPISODE DESCRIPTION.

"When the evil Shadow Line begins to use their evil train the Kleiner to kidnap children, a young man named Right is amongst those nearly captured. He then sees the prismatic Rainbow Line and its Ressha trains appear, along with four of the ToQgers, inspiring him to help protect the children with them."

I COULD GO INTO THIS BUT REALLY I THINK IT STANDS ON ITS OWN. ALSO THE ENEMIES, AT LEAST LIKE THE NON-MOOK ENEMIES?! ARE CALLED SHADOW CREEPS AND THE FIRST ONE IS NAMED BAG SHADOW. I KNOW THIS IS A SENTAI SHOW BUT GOD DAMN.

ALSO THERE'S THE FACT THAT EVERYTHING IS POWERED BY IMAAAAAAGINATIOOOOOOON. EVERYTHING.

OH HEY, DO YOU KNOW WHO THEIR VERSION OF ZORDON IS? DO YOU? IT'S SHINN. IT'S FUCKING SHINN ARITH, OF OUR VERY OWN GAME, GROWN UP AND AS A TRAIN CONDUCTOR. SEE THAT MONKEY PUPPET ON HIS HAND? THAT'S THEIR ALPHA. IT'S LEGIT A MONKEY PUPPET.

OH ALSO GUESS WHAT? THEY'RE ALL AS GOOD AS DEAD. ALL THE RANGERS. THE MONKEY PUPPET SAID SO.

AND THEN THERE'S WAGON.

HELLO, WAGON. HELLO TO YOU AND YOUR SUSPICIOUSLY PLACED UTILITY HANDLES.

Vega Crescent:
also I'll draw your attention to the utility handles on the robot girl >_>
callsignhusker:
....OH GOD
Vega Crescent:
Right on the back of the hips >_>
CAN ONLY BE FOR ONE THING
Use your imaginaaaaaatioooon for that one <_<
callsignhusker:
;___; I DON'T WANT TO
Vega Crescent:
Hint: FOR RAILING HER
it's a pun >_>
get it? 8D
callsignhusker:
I am simultaneously snickering and also enraged
Vega Crescent:
XDD
callsignhusker:
OH MY GOD HER NAME IS WAGON
RAIL THAT WAGON
Vega Crescent:
XDD
forgot to mention that
*insert caboose joke here choo choo* >_>
callsignhusker:
IF THIS WAGON IS ROCKIN' THERE'S ROOM FOR MORE KNOCKIN'

LOOKIN' PRETTY SEXBOT THERE, WAGON

FINALLY HEY DID YOU KNOW THAT WHEN THE BLUE RANGER LIKE TRACK CHANGES OR WHATEVER INTO GREEN THIS KIND OF SHIT HAPPENS BUT THANKS TO EVERYTHING BEING IMAGINATION ANYWAY IT MAKES SENSE

SHINN WANTS YOU TO IMAGINE WHAT THE FUCK'S NEXT

EDIT: I FORGOT TO MENTION HOW THE VILLAINS' PLAN IS TO BUILD AN EVIL RAILWAY OUT OF THE TEARS AND SADNESS OF CHILDREN SO THE DARKNESS EMPEROR CAN RIDE HIS PERSONAL TRAIN DOWN THAT RAILWAY TO EARTH AND CONQUER IT.

[Crescent]

8D

...I should have you watch the first episode of Carranger, thinking about some of this.

[Akurei Nagisa]

NO YOU SHOULD NOT.

[Crescent]

But. But CAR MAGIC 8D

A Super Sentai about TRAFFIC SAFETY

[Akurei Nagisa]

Oh God what is their mentor even, he's like if Dobby had a baby with Mac 'N' Me

[Yoshino Shurensuki]

I'm telling you, this thing is gonna fry Cam's brain.

Still, better Shinn grow up to be the Imagination Conductor than his fate in Kamen Rider Kiva. >_>; *nod*

[Akurei Nagisa]

We can all agree that anything is better than the Spider Fangire. X_X;

[Yoshino Shurensuki]

I see what you did there, Conductor-san.

Cadence Sama:
um. Have you seen the "Putty Patrol" of ToQgers?

Cause I think Xavier has.
Cadence Sama:
........I keep forgetting Sentai have the weird costume villains. >_>;
callsignhusker:
The Kuros are actually a definite Digimon design, yeah, although the Dominomon are based on the Masquerade Dopants from Kamen Rider W, I believe o 3o
Cadence Sama:
Funny, it sounds like "Crows" though. And that makes more sense... O_o;
Cadence Sama:
Well.
Cadence Sama:
I guess Kuros. Also.
Cadence Sama:

Cadence Sama:

callsignhusker:
...oh God I thought those were eyes, not mouths
callsignhusker:
Oh God you're watching it
callsignhusker:
Oh God ; A;
Cadence Sama:
>_> This is awesome.

If only for the fact you would have blown out your brains by now.
Cadence Sama:
XD
callsignhusker:
;__________;
Cadence Sama:
I love Pink/Kogura.
callsignhusker:
I'm not coming home
Cadence Sama:
XD

I think my only complaint so far is that I couldn't make the train puns if I wanted to, they make most of them IN THE SHOW ITSELF. I feel cheated. D:


Also, for anyone interested/afraid to watch but still wants to know, "ToQ" is pronounced "toh-kyuu". So it's "toh-kyuu-jaa", "toh-kyuu-oh"...

By the way, have I mentioned that I love Pink?

Toq #1 - (Toh-Kyuu Ichigo!)
Toq #2 - (Toh-Kyuu Nigo! *arigatou!*)
Toq #3 - (Toh-Kyuu Sango!)
Toq #4 - (Toh-Kyuu Yongo!)
Toq #5 - (Toh-Kyuu Gogo! *hai~!*)

[Benjamin]

When Saban gets it grubby mitts on ToQger, the conductor will be played by Ringo Starr or zombie George Carlin. >_>;

[Yoshino Shurensuki]

XDD And... Probably Ticket will be voiced by Barney.

[Akurei Nagisa]

....oh my God after seeing the first episode I fucking wish for a crossover episode between this and Gaim. Not the giant Kamen Rider thing from Kamen Rider Taisen, just Gaim. Fruit vs. Trains.

[Yoshino Shurensuki]

I found this and I couldn't NOT post it as a reply to you, Graham...

[MasterDJ]

XD Is it bad that both Mariah and I absolutely loved the first episode? Seriously, ToQ Go-Go is our absolute favorite.

Also, fucking love the mook designs.

How can you not like this show, though? These people are walking Green Lantern rings!

[Crescent]

1. Spider Fangire's the man 8D

2. Over-Time's translating the mooks as "Crows". Checking on it, they're named "クローズ" which probably does point to Crows, especially since the Shadow Line guys all seem to have a bird motif.

[Yoshino Shurensuki]

I really like "Crows" better, and thank you for the Over-Time link. The Youtube Sub was good translation but bad quality, the TV Nihon was kinda weird subtitles but good quality. I got both good from OT.

And well all the Shadow Line guys have names relating to 'Black' in various languages. >_>;;

Also~ FUCK YEAH. I LOVE KAGURA. 8D Yay!

I like how she also sorta breaks the 4th Wall on the first ep with "Me neither". XD

I watched the RAW Second ep and was surprised I could understand more than I thought I might. ^ .^ Still looking forward to the Sub though. >_>; Also previews of Ep3 = Kagura!

[Benjamin]

Y'know, I think I will need to watch this in its raw form. I do not understand a lick of Japanese, but do I really need to in order to enjoy it? It looks like a bad maple syrup trip to me. XD

[Akurei Nagisa]

"KOUTA-SAN, STOP EXPLODING! ;_;"

Also as much as I ranted about it this shit is just...it's silly in the best way. XD It's really charming. Especially Kagura and Right, both of them are boss.

...I'm still outraged by Wagon though, but hey, I suppose Conductor-san got some physical needs >_>

Ben: I think you'd enjoy the subs, but really, in raw form Jess was still able to enjoy the hell out of the second episode, so I say go for it. XD

[Yoshino Shurensuki]

I too think you'd like the subs, Ben. ^ 3^

It isn't like. .. necessary to understand Japanese, I feel, because the action gives you the general idea and if you've seen Power Rangers, you have general premise. ^_^;;

But Graham makes it sound like I haven't studied Japanese and don't understand any of it. >>; I understood half the ep because it is a Kid's Show, so it's not super-complex, language-wise, and I have a basic understanding of the language. >>;

[Benjamin]

Well, I meant that it looks hilarious and possibly moreso without any sort of context. And uh oh, Professor Ben want to make a comeback regarding "signifiers" and such. >_>;

[Yoshino Shurensuki]

XD

It probably would be outrageous without any context. lol
