New Transformers Go! Episode Available on Takara Tomy YouTube Channel

Ugh, the battles in this series are so formulaic. Predacons attack, Autobots arrive. Preds send out the combiner team, they get their asses whooped. Then they combine, and the human invokes the power of the Legend Disc, allowing the 'Bots to combine. The bots take down the Pred combiner, Predacons retreat. Ho-hum,

This is supposed to be the followup to the Prime series? Really? :BANG_HEAD:

Nowonder Prime looked mortified when they was talking to him, even he cant believe it. And that kid.... :BOOM:

hes more annoying that all 3 of the kids on prime combined on there most annoying day. And the animation/cgi :SICK:

its almost like this series and Bay are in a contest to see who can put out the worst possible crap, the winner gets all the braindead zombies :BOWDOWN:

that cant wait to throw money at hasblow/takara/bay who will continue to see and prove that there indeed are suckers born every minute. But, thats just my opinion.

I'm not going to watch the episode raw. I'm waiting for either TV-Nihon to get off their butts and sub the episode, or for METAsubs to get to a point where they can sub the episode.

I understand that the folks at METAsubs have been having some difficulties they've had to sort out before they can get back to subbing this show and so I can be patient for their aubbed release, but TV-Nihon has given no such explanation and so are making me impatient with their subbed release. :BANG_HEAD:

Also, for what it's worth, guys, this is episode 2 of the Shinobi Volume.

That's the idea. It's a children's anime. And running at only ~10 minutes in length, not much more they can do for these early series episodes. This is not a full blown, high-budget, Television quality cartoon series. It's just a series of DVD shorts not meant to be taken as seriously as something like TF: Prime (which many folks seem to have been spoiled by). :roll:

Yup. Doesn't bother me. It's like a Tokusatsu in anime form.

Not of this episode, though.

1. You misspelled "Abominus".
2. That's not Abominus, that's Goradora. >:oP

3. The reason he's black is because that's his upgraded form, with his components having merged in a "Black Jaki Gattai" instead of a regular "Jaki Gattai" (even though I haven't watched this episode yet, I know this from it happening in another episode that I have seen).
4. RiD is wonderful. :-B

Too predictable, every episode has the same format, every battle is pretty much the same. They are making look the decepticons weaker than ever.

No no no no no! This is NOT a sequel to Prime a you know it. This a sequel to the Japanese version of Prime, which was dubbed in a comedic manner with a lot of jokes and gags thrown in, and which ended on the season 2 finale. As such, the events of season 3, Beast Hunters, DO NOT EXIST in this continuity.

Honestly, just read this topic - http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/the-official-sanjou-gattai-transformers-go-discussion-thread-t96203.php

Not hard to imagine, that. Maybe it's because, well, it's US animation adapted which goes against the grain there?

Yet, Animated was a smash hit in Japan.

What are the odds... :-?

But Animated already had some anime influences present, right?

True, but Prime was also animated in Japan by Polygon Pictures.

Doesn't matter, it was still too Western and not silly enough for Japan's taste, the place it was animated in wouldn't have any impact.
Then again, it might have had to do with the terrible, terrible intro music they chose for the Japanese release.

Or maybe it's how they chose to butcher the show which likely doesn't really mesh well.

I just figure Animated did well while Prime did not was due to Animated already being so darn fun and hilarious while Prime was more of a stick-in-the-mud by comparison.

Surprised Takara hasn't brought over the Rescue Bots cartoon yet (but I feel that might be due to a lack of collector-marketable toys for that show, unless they'd be willing to create all new ones on their own).
