Kakuranger 10-11:
The double digits kick off with... look, I don't want to call it a "clunker", it's just that, well, that's the word that comes to mind. There's an interesting enough gimmick to the monster, a Youkai who creates a "family" for himself by going around disguised as a crying baby, luring people to the stroller he's in and then stealing their souls so he can put them in his collection of dolls. That probably sounds pretty crazy and fun, and it
is
, but from a critical perspective, I can't ignore that there's nothing
else
to the episode. There aren't any exciting twists in the plot, you don't learn anything about the characters, and the action is about standard, aside from the excitement of seeing the Kakurangers pay homage to Goranger by kicking a football around, which is admittedly awesome. So, just to be clear again, the episode isn't awful, it's just I've already seen far better from this show.
Things pick up a bit for episode 11, which still isn't one of the show's best, but benefits from stronger characterization. It plays off previously established traits of the Kakurangers, namely that Tsuruhime gets no respect, Seikai is a skirt chaser, and that everyone hates each other.
And
they're all idiots. So to see Seikai tell Tsuruhime he'll help with laundry, only to go try and pawn off everyone's clothes at the flea market as part of a scheme to get a date is both logical and hilarious. Seeing Sasuke, Saizou, and Jiraiya jump straight to trying to beat the s*** out of Seikai in public when they find out what's going on is even funnier. When the episodes go this insane, they don't need a whole lot more to them for me to have a great time.

I actually wanted to mention that but totally forgot to! The comedic timing on that gag is unbelievably perfect. Everyone is standing together looking off at Seikai in the distance, and then out of nowhere Sasuke just turns 90 degrees. It's
amazing

The bad guys in Megaranger are
nasty
. I'll just leave this here as a reminder:
