Really enjoyed it actually. So first things first, the opening is awesome. Soundtrack as a whole seems really good. And the ending put a huge fucking grin on my face. Real fun stuff. Episode was cool too. Not a massive amount of characterisation or anything, but the characters seem fine. Fashion sense is a bit suspect but I guess that's just the 90's. Lore seems good. Suits are great. Action was neat, though I dunno about the comic book sound effects. Some pretty uncharted territory for me here. Only my fourth Sentai, first before the 2010's. Actually my first toku from the nineties now that I think about it. So I expect to run into plenty of new things, Sentai-wise and probably as a whole. I know several Sentai do this, but a sentient robot is already pretty fresh for me (cubes aren't quite the same). I look forward to watching more. |

Kakuranger is a fun and creative series. I'm glad you're getting into it.

Since I didn't have time to watch another Carranger disc I watched the first 3 episodes to Changeman. They're all right. Nothing to write home about right now, the mecha seems to be just a repainted DynaRobo and about as exciting to watch as that one (aka not at all).

Abaranger 18
First of all, I finally realized how much I enjoy Ryoga, he's great and unique for a character in these kinds of shows. But holy fuck Abarekiller made this a LOT more interesting

So today I watched Disc 5 of Carranger and I have no idea what happened, but the timing of the subs were pretty hit or miss. In fact, they were down right awful on episode 26 as they appeared usually a second or two before the dialog even started. The rest of the disc had a couple of mistimed subs, but nothing that was as bad as this episode. They weren't horrid to the point where you didn't know which sub went with what sentence, but it did kind of kill the jokes Signalman and Minoru were making in the second half of the episode.
Also, while nothing horrible, I was disappointed in that they didn't bother to sub the Zoku Ranger song lyrics during the battle. That is half of what makes that battle so great. :-( Those two things aside, another batch of outstanding episodes. We got a really cheesy one with episode 27 and then some really serious stuff with 28-30. In addition, I watched episodes 4-8 of Changeman. They were enjoyable, but so far the only character that has had any sort of development is Giluke. Everyone else is pretty much one dimensional at this point. Yeah, there are still 47 episodes to go, which means a lot of growth is bound to happen, but it would have been nice to have at least one ranger with some sort of backstory or something by now. Also, I can't for the life of me take Bazoo seriously. It's like they put a head on a spaceship or something it just looks so damn ridiculous. Is he seriously the all powerful ruler these goons are afraid of? The Bowzock from Carranger are more threatening than him. |

Also, after watching carranger, you won't see power ranger turbo the same way you used to again. |

GEKI 29 and 30!
Ken gets the Soujuto back. Ken loses the Soujuto. Mele reveals that she prefers fair fights, and prides herself in it. I actually really like this. She's still a martial artist at heart, so cheating is the equivalent of admitting you're not strong enough to win. When she had to do so to get the Soujuto, it put her in such a state of weakness that she exploded with Dorinki. Kata's lesson of hatred can be internalized, too, it seems~

I've always thought PR Turbo sucked though. Easily the worst of the Zordon era and one of the worst PR series ever. Last edited by Dr Kain; 05-01-2017 at 01:38 PM.. |
