Sunday Morning

So ~ blame, aliceheavenly for this but I've considering the prospect of Batman fanfiction, more specifically Batman, circa the 1989 Tim Burton movie.

I speak of course of Vicki Vale/Alicia Hunt.

In other news, I have, of course, started watching Kaizoku Sentai Goukaiger, the Super Sentai franchise's 35th anniversary show. As everyone knows, I am completely weak against crossovers - I love them, even for the lamest excuse. Whatever reason, whatever poor excuse of a half-baked, hastily thrown together plotline, I will be there for it. This is part of the reason why I was surprised that I actually enjoyed 70% of Kamen Rider DCD. I wasn't actually expecting anything of any real significance and yet here was this show that reinvented the previous ten years of Rider history and did it in a unique and enjoyable fashion.

Goukaiger doesn't look like it is as unique as DCD. The gimmick has already been proven and tested, we know the DCD format was popular hence its return here and the continued presence of DCD-related spin off features. So whilst not unique, what Goukaiger is, is actually a lot of fun.

The same AU premise as DCD seems to be employed in order to prevent the show from being too hampered by continuity (I can almost hear softpixels  weeping as I say that) and we are treated to, on average, the return of at least three different former teams (if only for henshin and combat sequences) per episode, not including the Boukenger style Pokérap detailing a different chunk of previous shows at the end of each episode.

The use of former powers by the core Goukaiger team is also unique in that gender is not an issue - in episode #2, we see a female HarikenYellow, a female GekiRed, a male HarikenBlue and several other paradigm shifts in terms of the interpretation of established power sets.

So, having said all that, you would be vastly mistaken if you thought that I wasn't about to write about to write Ahim de Famille as girl!KuwagaRaiger x Nono Nanami is seriously mistaken.

Hell, you might even get a new Sentai School piece out of me yet.

Stay tuned.
