I can tell you why.
People think Wild Force is bad, so they just avoid the source material entirely, thinking the envionmentalist message will be just as heavy handed.

I didnt think all that much of Gaoranger to be honest.

Much like how I feel about Wild Force, it isn't bad by any means. But at the same time outside of Rouki and the mecha I didn't think it was particularly good either. It was just...there.

I'm not watching something. I am WORKING on something.

:)

I like GaoRanger, but it could be because it was my very first Sentai series I watched. It isn't in my top 10 at all, but I do think it fares better than a great deal of the stuff that came after it.

I used to think that way too. But Gaoranger is an entirely different beast (pun!) than Wild Force. I don't see the environmentalism front and center on that show. There's the aspect of protecting the Earth but it doesn't even feel like environmentalism to me.
It's just really struck me as a well done show. Lots of great action and designs, fantastic and interesting villains (for the most part). Some really stellar mecha design. The overall plot just knocks it out of the park though. My only complaint might be the VS movie. Aside from appearances by some of my favorite senshi (Big One, Red Falcon) and a few other cool moments it was pretty silly.
:D Hints please?
I'd say this show will be in my top 5 by the time I've finished it. It's just been such a solid fun ride so far. Even during the filler episodes this show does well. Those typical episodes that with most shows are just boring and hard to enjoy. This show manages to change things up a bit and actually make them enjoyable.

Ehhh, I was never the biggest fan of Gao/Wild Force. It always seemed a tad weird to me, especially when trying to keep up with all of the mecha. Then again, it has GaoSilver, and he's a bad ass.

Yeah, I didn't think much of the vs. movie either. To be honest both "vs. Super Sentai" movies felt a bit of a let down. Hurricanger vs Gaoranger more than makes up for it though.
As for the villains, Tsuetsue and Yabaiba are great but the generals really bored me. I was never really fond of the "facial feature" trend they have design-wise either.

Glad you're enjoying it though! It does seem like an often forgotten series even though its an anniversary one.

It's that time of the week again...Kakuranger 11!



Rag loving monster. Okay. Talking mirror that's never explained and only appears once. Weird, but okay.

Seikai's met a girl he wants to impress. Way to ignore Tsuruhime after confessing your love for her cheeseburger, Seikai.

Seikai steals the Kakuranger's clean cloths to impress said girl and I can't help but wonder when they ever wear those cloths.

Seikai trying to sell secondhand boxers...:lol

Sorcery. Rag Revolt! :lol

The American tries to lasso the Yokai. This isn't stereotypical at all. :rolleyes

The Yokai's goal is to shut down secondhand stores. Why does this sound like something a Captain Planet villain would do?

Pretty good action this episode...except the Kakuranger Ball is still lame.

I think Storyteller is holding a diaper while talking about how usful reusing things is. Eww.

Next week: Juusho Fighters (aka Battle Borgs)!

EDIT: If the Yokai's human form looks familiar, he played DoraSphinx's human form too.

So, we starting Lets Watch today?

My question exactly.
