Hey, CivilShark here. Just wondering which Sentai season takes itself the most serious? I've only been watching the current season and Akibaranger so I really have no clue what a less light-hearted Sentai series is like. While we're at it might as well discuss which Power Ranger series is the most and least serious as well.

Out of the shows I've seen, I'd definitely say Liveman is the most serious followed by Jetman. Out of more recent series it's probably been Go-Busters, but that had a fair amount of comic relief padding it out too.
Power Ranger-wise? In Space, Lost Galaxy and RPM are probably my picks.

Yeah Dairanger is a reasonably serious one too. To be honest most shows from the late 80s/early 90s period are for the most part serious ones.

Does that apply to Carranger? I read somewhere that one was somewhat of a parody. It doesn't seem to be on the same level as Akibaranger however.
Edit- Nevermind, just watched the first episode. Definitely silly. Last edited by TheCivilShark; 04-29-2013 at 06:47 AM.. |

I haven't seen many Sentai, but of those I've seen, I'll give it to Dairanger as the most serious (Odd that it's immediately followed by Kakuranger, which is probably one of the most silly series).
For Power Rangers, I think I'll give it to either In Space, Time Force, or RPM.

Time Force had a dude who pulled a bone out his body for a sword (with horrible disfigurement) and the first Red dies in the first episode. Pretty "gritty" for Power Rangers I'd say.

I'm have to go RPM for one of the most serious Power Rangers.
Now I haven't watched any series full through of Super Sentai but the ones I think right now are Battle Fever J (Okay it has sillyness that takes away from the seriousness but it has some dark scenes in it), and Liveman. Liveman in just one episode is pretty grim.

I don't watch enough of either to say, but for Super Sentai the most recent one has to be Gobusters. Shinkenger is also pretty serious, I'd say.
Power Rangers, it would definitely be RPM, but also Time Force.

Depends on your definition of serious. Jet, Zyu, Dai, Oh, Mega, GoGoV, Ginga, Time, Geki, and Gokai are serious. Aba and Kaku are serious with comedy mixed in.
