Act 16
"Kuroko Power"
The really superficial nature of this series is starting to show, I think. The characters are endearing enough, and everything is pretty and cheery, but we're getting really shallow plots. And what's the point to having Takeru be so stern and uptight without a deep, emotive subplot to back it up? Instead of seeming like someone with a heavy burden to carry, he's starting to just come across as someone who can't have fun...
One question: is anyone else finding it a bit jarring that around half the time the Shinkengers attack Gedoushuu who haven't actually done anything wrong? They seem to have the attitude that they should be destroyed no matter what, but this episode's Ayakashi didn't do anything wrong (as far as we could tell) until he was attacked. Given that many previous sentai series have shown at least one villain who actually turned out to be a pretty nice guy when given half the chance, does this bother anyone else? They haven't done anything in the series to establish an innate evilness in the Gedoushuu, yet.
