I think Carranger is the most serious... ly silly.

[Paladin]

Ohranger, from what I've heard.

Because so many people hated the serious tone, they amped up the ridiculousness with Carranger.

Has anyone subbed Ohranger?

About as much as any Super Sentai pre-Gao. IE: not all of it.

It's odd you can find completely subbed versions of say, Jetman but there are iterations that have come out after that (about a decades worth) that have either never been subbed or only bits and pieces.

That generally stems from a lack of available raws to work with. Especially after the big Megaupload shutdown, a lot of precious raws were hosted there that haven't been found again. Some shows have excellent raw sources but others like say Battle Fever J, do not

Are there no ways of getting a hold of new copies then?

Lack of time and interest too, given that most groups focus on the recent stuff.

The biggest problem is that alot of raws for older shows have to come from blu-ray and DVD rips. You may not know it but Japanese home video releaess like that are crazy expensive. Full series boxed sets can cost upwards of $400 on blu-ray. A sub group would first have to find someone who could either buy it in Japan for them or find somewhere online to buy them. Then actually pay those prices just to sub them for free. Unfortunately it isn't entirely cost effective in most cases

True. But some of the more specialized groups that are still going have a passion for classic toku. Like GUIS and Harorangers.

That and Ohranger had some good toy sales apparently so they wanted a show to make kids buy more toys. I'd say Carranger would be pretty good at that.
