Like, even the designs of the Gorangers themselves sit very comfortably alongside guys like Rider #1 and Kikaider, both because they have such similar aesthetics, and because those aesthetics are so freakin' good.

So the interesting thing about Gorenger? It wasn't always the first Super Sentai. For a long time, Battle Fever J was officially the first Super Sentai series. Gorenger and JAKQ weren't added to the list until the mid-90s.
