I'm not one who usually watches Japanese live action Dramas like the super sentai. The only Sentai type series I enjoy is the newer Kamen Riders like Decade and Kiva.
That said, I have to talk about a series I just discovered: Keitai Sousakan 7 or Phone Braver 7.
First thing first: It's stupid and when I say stupid I mean funny and entertaining.
basically some Shinji Ikari wanna be (as in a total wimp teenager) Gets involved with Under Anchor, a secret organization involved in stopping Net crimes such as hacking and viruses. With the Use of Phone Braver 7, a talking walking cellphone, the boy known as Ashimima Keita joins Under Anchor and solves cases. He eventually gets involved with 01, a rouge black phone braver who previous Buddies (human Partners) died. Shit happens, things explode, people nearly die and so on.
Ok. Like I said, the plot is kinda stupid, but the character development is really good. Keita slowly goes from total wimp to someone who puts himself in danger to help another with no fear (til it's over at least) The battles are actually cool and the graphics are badass (the graphics was done by I.G Productions, the same people who did Ghost In The Shell S.O.C so I'm not suprised.)
The Music is catchy and sets the mood and comedy is top notch for the most part.
Now for the Cons:
Some Episodes I felt weren't needed (Fillers) some scenes felt half hearted or plain useless and some of the characters didn't connect to me, the viewer.
Overall, I enjoyed it and think everyone else should at least check it out on youtube . TwilightKong has the entire series on his profile. And it's legal cause it hasn't be licensed in America yet. Although there are rumors that there are plans to adapt it for america like how Power Rangers was for Super Sentai (as in same basic principal but totally different plot and characters)
