Lately I've been remembering all over again how much I love Ninninger, and because I can be super impulsive this way, I decided that's literally all the reason I need to finally dig into at least one of the other two ninja Sentai out there. I mean, while on I'm a ninja kick, anyway, right?
So then...
Kakuranger 1-3:
This was a perfectly entertaining set of episodes, but I'm off to a bad start when it comes to posting about my viewing experience, because it's hard to process what I even just watched when I have
absolutely no clue what's going on
.
The basics are pretty simple. A bunch of Yokai sealed by a bunch of ninjas got released, so their modern-day descendants get together to go show em' who's boss. Like, that's the
premise
. The problem is this show's
style
is so extraordinarily unique, and I feel like the heavy pop-culture theming is mostly flying over my head without proper context. I can recognize what I'm literally seeing, it's just that I rarely know what Kakuranger is actually trying to convey. The narrator in this show is like if Aruto from Kamen Rider Zero-One got old, went senile, lost all his charisma, and then decided to occasionally hijack a Sentai show to make largely unneeded observations about completely self-explanatory things. I'm not gonna lie, he's already getting on my bad side. These episodes don't even run over twenty minutes, who's got time for this?!
Pretending for a second this is just a regular Sentai, though, it's doing everything about right. It's always interesting when they decide to not have the whole team together right away, and while I can't tell you much about their personalities at the moment, I do like that everyone seems to hate each other a bit at the moment. That generally makes for good character development later down the line, so I'm looking forward to that.
The action was fine, too, but I mean, I probably don't have to explain to anyone that the Kakurangers just
are
cool. Their suits are aggressively efficient in design and their robot is literally a fortress. What's not to love?
