I started Carranger two days ago and I am through episode 21. I can't stop watching this show. It has consumed all my free time. I love it. It is so goofy and spoofs all the serious and dramatic seasons that came before it. It is amazing, it gives me life, it pisses me off that I haven't watched it sooner, lol. This show is quickly making a way into my top ten favorite seasons

I am on episode 22 right now and I have not been disappointed yet. Toei needs to do another parody season and touch on how the show has been since Boukenger or something or how it has been since Gokaiger. Cause the nods to the over dramatized shows of the 80's and early 90's is great.

Akiba isn't an official team and that is what I meant. Akiba isn't really a parody though, it is an homage to everything that makes sentai sentai. They talk about tropes, shooting locations, well known suit actors and stunt coordinators, and talk about what it is like to be an otaku. Carranger is totally different; they poke fun without stating how and why they are poking fun. It is a true parody.

I wouldn't necessarily call Carranger a parody. After all, it's still an official entry in Super Sentai and still takes itself seriously as a Sentai team. It's just very comedic in tone.
And there are some serious parts in it. |

I kind of agree with you. I'm not fully on board with the notion that Carranger is a complete parody. There are definitely parodic elements (VRV Master is a walking parody; The show's best episode -- the one where Red Racer keeps screaming about how he's Carranger's leader -- is total parody), but I think parody is just a part of the show's greater comedic tapestry.

Ohranger, to me, was like this awesome knit sweater that slowly unraveled over the course of 48 episodes. I can see why people like it and why the toys sold well, but my main beef is that there never felt like there was a credible threat. Even during the final arc, when things are it's most dire, it never felt like something they couldn't handle.
And there was way too much mech dancing...I don't know why that annoyed me lol. |
