    I'm now up to episode 15 of Spielban and I'm really liking the series so far and Machiko Soga did a great job as Pandora.

    I just finished Hikari Sentai Maskman which makes this series my third Showa era Sentai season I have watched all the way through. I am also halfway through my Magiranger re-watch. Will probably watch Bioman next and then either Flashman or Denziman. I also need to get Turboranger taken care of just so I would've indeed watched every single Super Sentai series within the Heisei era and then eventually finish the remaining Showa era seasons.

    I have watched Bioman for the last few days and I've already gone through the first 16 episodes. I can definitely see why the second Yellow Four is considered as everyone's favorite ranger in that series. I'm also up to episode 30 of Spielban and I should be able to finish that series in the near future.

    While I am planning to watch Jiban next, Metal Heroes-wise, I'm honestly tempted to watch Shaider afterwards instead just so I can officially say I have seen all three shows that were used as source material for VR Troopers like I have with two of the three 90's Kamen Rider movies (ZO and J respectively) plus Black RX since they were the source material for Saban's Masked Rider. Decisions, decisions.

    I have just finished Spielban and it is another Toku series I can officially cross off on my own watch list. While Metalder still remains my overall favorite Metal Heroes series so far, Spielban, at least for now, is a pretty close second. I am also two-thirds through Bioman and I'm honestly enjoying the series so far.

    Seems like Black Rx is going to be released soon by Discotek given they have a trailer for the show on the Black Blu-Ray.

    From Discotek? Given they have released Gavan, Kamen Rider Black, and Cutey Honey The Live since then, with Black Rx soon, it must have sold well.

    Managed to finish Bioman as of last night and it is a pretty good show. I can see why many people like this particular season of Super Sentai. I'm now trying to figure out where Bioman would be in my Sentai ranking list. The next series in the franchise I'm planning to watch next is probably Denziman.

    I'm not as big a fan of Bioman was others are. I found it rather boring, though, it did have its moments.

    To be fair, I’m not really sure whether or not I would consider Bioman as one of my personal favorites or if it would, at the very least, being among one of my honorable mentions. Might be leaning towards the latter, though. While I do get why one would be bored with the series itself, I never felt that the show was boring, not even once, and it certainly didn’t even feel like a chore to get through. If nothing else, it’s definitely better than some certain seasons.

    I have managed to watch two more episodes for my Magiranger re-watch as well as starting to watch Denziman.

    After however long I put it off, I am finally finishing up the final disc of my copy of Megaranger’s DVD series set from Shout Factory.

    I am also up to episode 35 of my Magiranger re-watch and up to episode 22 of Denziman. It did took a little bit but the latter series is effectively growing on me. I’m even two episodes away from officially being halfway through Gavan.

    I started watching my copy of Timeranger series DVD set from Shout Factory not too long ago and I already finished the first disc and started on the second. I also managed to finish my Megaranger DVD series set from the same company.
