J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai fast track viewing list

We keep going back in time! This time we made a list of the most important/relevant episodes to watch of J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai 

With this Sentai it's a bit complicated to categorize which episodes are "filler" and which ones are the important ones since this show doesn't have mecha or new weapons.  With this show, we categorized as important if it includes character development, character backstory, new introductions, and departures. Also, the first episode and the final episodes.  JAKQ is the second and final Sentai created by Shotaro Ishinomori hence you won't find the typical tropes you will later see on the other shows/seasons.

Special thanks to our visitor Aly for additional comments on the list

By cutting all the episodes that we vaguely considered "filler" we cut JAKQ into 15 episodes. (The show only lasted 34 episodes)

Kagaku Sentai Dynaman fast track watch list

WARNING: If you have photosensitive epilepsy or you're sensible to flashing lights, don't watch this Sentai.

We're going really old school! This time we made a list of the most important/relevant episodes to watch of Kagaku Sentai Dynaman.  This Super Sentai aired in 1983 and during Gokaiger we saw their powers in action.  In 1987, six episodes were given a spoof dub and aired on the USA cable network under the simplified title DYNAMAN.


Remember that these are the episodes that you cannot skip because they include: Mecha/zord introductions, new powers., new rangers, deaths, important character development, new allies, new villains, etc. 

Kagaku Sentai Dynaman has 51 episodes, but by cutting all the filler you only need to watch the following 14 episodes:

Ep. 1: The Tailed-People Clan's Challenge (有尾人一族の挑戦 Yūbijin Ichizoku no Chōsen)
Ep. 2: Warriors Who Chase Dreams (夢を追う戦士たち Yume o Ō Senshitachi)

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger Fast track viewing

 

A list that only the essential episodes of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger are shown. Skipping all standalone non-critical episodes. As usual, the important episodes of the season are: Premiere/finale, introductions of characters, mechas/zords, allies, power-ups, deaths, a family member of the hero introduction, new ranger, backstory explained, cameos from the past seasons, specific plot points of the season introduced/solved, etc. These are the episodes that you cannot miss! By cutting out the filler, Gokaiger is left with 43 episodes and two movies. It's a sentai anniversary season hence the lack of many filler episodes.

Announcement

Hello everyone!

The blog has not been abandoned! And I'm not gonna stop updating the fast track watchlists of each sentai series.

 I forgot to say when I opened this portal that the blog will not be updated in a specific schedule. A new list it's posted every time I finish watching a Sentai season. Since GoGoV was so fucking bland, it took me longer to finish watching it. 

Remember to share the blog with fellow sentai fans so they can also skip all the crappy filler episodes and go straight to the action.
