Gaoranger 03.

So this episode was just as dumb in the original huh? The first two episodes were solid, this one...not so much. I dunno, it just felt really cheap, the designs are solid but the execution of them...not so much. And when it wasn't cheap, it was just sorta naff. This was supposed to be a focus episode on Red to make him look badass, but in reality he didn't really do anything to deserve the fanfare he got.

I mean it isn't to say there aren't some interesting things, the way they capture each Rangers uniqueness is a little different to how they do it in other shows and I do like how the Yellow ranger is crucial to the show, like when does that ever happen? But just the general dated look and feel of the show makes it painful to watch at times, especially when you realise this came out in 2001 and not the early 90s. Ironically it seems to save most of its budget per episode for the giant stuff, then does very little of interest with them.
