Watched 2 more episodes of Gaoranger today!


EP 7: This episode really solidified for me that the big appeal of the show so far is the cast. From the amusing little scene at the beginning of everyone hanging out as the base (loved Yellow and his ukulele especially!) to Blue's incredible charm and nice interactions with the kid of the week. They're all just very charismatic! The plot was kind of baffling, as is proving to be par for the course in this show. Still trying to wrap my head around the logistics of how a super-powered ancient divine animal ended up trapped in the form of a random construction crane!


EP 8: This episode, the show tries to convince me that Red is a real, actual veterinarian and not just some strange guy the Gaorangers kidnapped off the streets. It was nice to get a little more background on him, and I was just waiting for the twist that the real reason he kept that photo in his wallet was the dog from the beginning. I think White was the real highlight of this one though, I liked her concern over potentially keeping Red away from his girlfriend and a community that needs him. She comes across as a really gentle and kindly person, but she also has the drive to back it up. I rather like her so far!


So, uh, yeah! This show really feels like some sort of spiritual successor to Zyuranger to me, which isn't a bad thing! Maybe not the most *exciting* thing either, but hey, as long as get some enjoyment out of it I won't mind too much.
