More Carranger (29-32)!

It's still amazing.

...Okay, I'll go into more detail. I really enjoyed the whole introduction of VRV Robo. It's a great example of what I've been saying about Carranger not sacrificing drama in the name of comedy. What I mean by that isn't so much that it's going to bring you tears or anything so much as that it keeps a sense of tension. When the Carrangers are in trouble, it feels like it. Like, it's actually pretty crazy seeing mooks climb all over the giant robot, smash into the cockpit, force the team out of it, and then take it for their own use. It's sort of hard to describe it adequately. Obviously it's not edge of your seat, intense, high stakes melodrama, but, especially given how often Carranger is referred to as a parody, I expected more of a straight up farce than I've been getting.

Speaking of parody, episode 32... did not quite live up to the hype. I still really liked it though! It was awesome seeing Kyousuke try and be Kyoryu Red (and do a pretty dang good job of it, all things considered), but being sort of an epilogue to the episodes right before it I don't think it stands out on its own the way some of the other episodes have.
