They're great just for their time travel. Especially Time Shadow. And I kept wondering if there was some subtext to the fact that the scene of planting the flag on the moon was linked to Dracula and Moses crossing the Red Sea.
I am especially fond of the idea that not only do you go through a Time Portal, but that you also have to get punted by a giant robot. It's funny whenever I think about it.

Plus a fascinating story about fighting fate, which isn't just reduced to a "we can overcome our destinies if we try hard enough" sort of story. I'm a huge fan!
Carranger is also great though. I actually wasn't too into the humor in the first half, but found the second half hilarious. So since you already enjoy it, it might become even funnier for you from here on out!
I certainly don't mind either way when it comes to portraying "fighting fate" but I do agree it was very interesting to see how it played out here. Another thing that stands out to me is the how the government got involved in the Sentai affairs, which I know isn't too uncommon with some of them being commissioned by governments or having connections to it like in Boonboomger, but the fact that outside of a group of colorful, spandex clad strangers, we also had another deterrent fighting the monsters, which I thought was neat.
On Carranger, I do get what you're saying, mainly I get a laugh whenever a new monster shows up, since they all look so wonderfully ridiculous and catroony along with how over-the-top they are, or even the fact that they grow giant by eating Imo-Youkan is enough is certainly enough for me.
Also, I see Signalman might be a spoof on the Metal Hero series given his theme song, to his name "Kobaan" possibly a spin off Micheal Corben like the other Space Sheriffs, I strangely really enjoy this guy and the hijinks the series has as a whole, especially after the introduction of the Zokurangers who have a variation of the Carranger theme song!
