[GoldenXtreme]

So, if you remember, I was watching Kakuranger, said I was not excited by the first episode or 2, then made no more comments. Well, it's finished now, and I loved it, despite my initial reservations! Oh, where to start...

For one, the cast was probably the most lovable I've seen yet, with Tsuruhime and Jiraiya as my favorites by the end. Tsuruhime was portrayed like the protagonist of the show, instead of Sasuke, which was really cool, and Jiraiya was just adorable. Even my least favorite of the Kakurangers, Saizou, was far from terrible. The show was also absolutely hilarious, its bizarre sense of humor was spot on, and has aged really well. The Santa episode nearly killed me. In addition, while the show was largely comedic, when it did choose to have more dramatic episodes, it handled those excellently too. It was a really solid all-around package. Sorry Dairanger, you have nothing on this!
