Am I Just Literally Too Old To Be Thinking About Toqger?

So I'm gonna move away from the whole kids turning into adults is disturbing argument because let's not pile on right?

Also that titles confusing. ToQger doesn't hate adults btw. The core team is kids grown up magically. The show didn't talk down to its audience though. The plot got intense and pretty serious and the team are all kids. They're gonna be childish and not to mention were trying to figure out who they are and where their home is. Pretty deep for a show that is trying to talk down. I don't think ToQger was trying to offend.

Guys, I am sorry. But, I am just never gonna understand why people like Toqger so much. I mean, I don't understand why Toei couldn't just make the main five child actors who played Right, Tokkachi, Mio, Hikari and Kagura be the actual characters of the show, instead of the adult actors, themselves.

No offense to the five main adult actors who played those characters, but I think it could've been better, if the five main child actors were the ones wearing the Toqger suits, and were battling the Shadow Line in the manga universe or in the anime universe, instead of the adult actors doing all of that in the real world as part of the show's storyline. Hell, the concept should have been like Big Bad Beetleborgs, but in reverse where this time, the entire series is taking place in either the manga or in the anime series of Toqger being brought to life and the child versions of the main characters were sent into that world where they actually get to be their favorite heroes in that universe. That could work.

But, with that being said. Aside from Akira/Toq #6, the music, and the villain designs which are absolutely bad-ass in my opinion. I am just never connect to this series at all. I mean, I am glad I saw it, but I just don't think it really connects to me at all much like Timeranger, and Shinkenger did. And they were also handled by Yosaku Kobayashi quite well. But, I guess Toqger is a lot more memorable than pretty much anything that has happened in Gingaman and more baerable to watch than Gaoranger and Magiranger, nowadays.

So, if you liked it, that's okay. Me?! I am probably among the minority of people that really aren't into this particular sentai series for a lot of other reasons besides the train-themed suit designs.

I would rather listen to Aphex Twin's entire back catalogue played on a banjo than watch another episode of Magiranger, but I still agree its writing is better than ToQger's (I like Gingaman and Gaoranger a lot more)

There's no way they could have done a Sentai team of child actors though - Sentai actors have a punishing schedule and work very long hours, plus the stunt actors have to be adults so at the very least the heroes would need to grow to adult size in suit.

No matter how many times you say it, it's still not disturbing. But, no offense taken.

Also, the twist wasn't tacked on. It was hinted at from the very beginning. It's not all that controversial just because you happen to think that the twist is disturbing when it isn't.

^ Well yeah I find it disturbing since I have a unique viewpoint, nobody else sees it like I do. I doubt kids would've liked the twist. When I was a kid, all I wanted to watch was adult superheroes, it's still my favorite genre. Adults are people that kids can look up to and idolize. The ToQGer kids were there for flashbacks and memory recollection sequences since that was the original plot.

Neither of those ships appealed to me. I only cared about Tokatti/Wagon and that was destroyed by the reveal and controversy of adult/kid shipping. However I chose to ship so it's my fault that I was disappointed. At the same time, I'm not some weirdo who enjoys making illegal ships, I made a simple mistake and confused Tokatti for a genuine adult. Therefore, I'm technically innocent.

Zyuranger is a team of 65000000 year old adults, definitely not kids. I have the right to dig as deep as I want to. Izayoi Kyuemon isn't the first half human in Tokusatsu. There is also Takaoka Eiji and Kurenai Wataru. There's no such law against humans having relationships with Fangires and Ashu even though they're different species. So I don't see why anyone would call that disturbing if they're willing to accept the existence of mules and ligers.
