I've seen 6 episodes of Gaoranger now. I'm really not sure what to make of this show yet, but I thought I'd go over some of my thoughts. The show continues to feel very strange! I'm enjoying it, so many small aspects of it feel unusual, and I'm not sure if it is in a good way or not yet. The show seems fairly lighthearted, if I were to pick the Sentai I find it closest to, I'd say Zyuranger since both have a fairytale-like quality to their stories. I do think I maybe know a spoiler though, either that or I got really mislead somewhere. I think GaoBlue dies? So it might get more serious later on and advance a lot from the fairly basic drama it currently has. I am finding the cast pretty appealing so far, so that's a positive! Yellow in particular surprised me, since he is actually kind of an ass! He isn't a bad guy, but he certainly feels like an unusual kind of character for a Sentai. The dynamic between Blue and Black is cute and White seems intriguing. Red, meanwhile, is the weak link, very much a generic fiery leader type without too much going for him so far.


But yeah, this is a hard one to get a grasp on. I might try and post here a little more often than normal so I can hash my feelings out better, as opposed to my normal modus operandi of only posting at the beginning and end of a show, plus any time something overwhelming good/bad happens. I dunno if I can be like Fish and write a small essay about every episode, but I want to at least write more!
