[Sh Ranger]

I just finished my rewatch of Kakuranger, including Act 3. I enjoyed it even more this time and have thus promoted it from third to second favorite Heisei Sentai!

Act 3 is a decent movie. It's cool just to see the team back together once more after 30 years. While the premise does basically rip off Abaranger 20th, I can forgive it since it's thematically appropriate for the hate-powered Yokais. A little concerning how Jiraiya's body is canonically healthier than Tsuruhime's. In terms of plot, it's okay. We get a kunoichi villain who shares an actress with Gotchard's Himeno Hijiri. If you love cool ninja action, then it's totally worth the watch.

So I'll be starting my final Heisei Sentai, Gingaman, this month for sure!
