Plus, bad practical effects look way better than bad CG effects. Suitmation all the way.<br /><br />Also, can someone list all the stop motion in Sentai? I did not know stop motion was used at all and I always assumed the Shinkenger origamis were CGI.

Suitmation looks as good today as it did fifty years ago. <br /><br />But ultimately, Gokaiger only uses the GokaiOh CG model to do thinks a suit actor or electric model couldn't, and I can't object to that. <br /><br />My only real complaint is that the leaden, cumbersome movements of a robot suit actor feel more realistic than CG GokaiOh's spry, agile motion, but that's just creative differences.C.

Seriously, not!<br /><br />Yes, CGI could be better, but I think it still looks way better than what you see in some made for TV movies...and there is a certain charme to it.
