Watched episodes 16-19 of Carranger. This show just took off, man. Going into this I was kind of worried it wouldn't live up to the hype but now it's like "where was this show all my life?!".

I mean, it hasn't even been a week yet and I've already pounded out nearly half the series. I've been in this rut watching new shows lately where even if I like them I have to consciously make myself sit down to watch more than one episode every couple of days but with Carranger I could probably do another two or three right now and not get bored.

It's sooo good. I mean, everyone knows that already but that's only because it's true. It's totally hilarious and yet still hits all the notes you'd want out of a Sentai without coming off like a total farce. It even manages to make more sense than some other shows in how nonsensical it is. Episode 16 introduces a new villain who's set up to be a really smart tactician type only for him to resort to pretty much the same MotW plans as usual. This would be pretty expected for any Sentai but Carranger actually justifies this by having the whole joke be that the main bad guys hired him on the cheap. That's so genius!

Speaking of which, episode 19 was indeed fantastic. Given how spot on Dr Kain's picks for favorite episodes have been so far, I'm now really looking forward to 25 and 32.
