To me, a Carranger-type show has...

Heavy emphasis on slapstick comedy.
A strong character-focus.
Little overarching plot.
A sense of self-awareness regarding its ridiculousness.
Utter sincerity and no cynicism.
Nonthreatening villains.
Little adherence to logic.
A strong emotional core.

Actually SL, I'm the kind of person that loves a balanced mix between comedy/humor and serious action.

Ah....well in that case, I'm definitely NOT a carranger-like sentai kind of guy. My villains have to be threatening. If not obviously, then the creepy kind that you can tell something is up.

Mind you, I'm only 25 episodes into Carranger. The villains are definitely played for comedy so far, but that could always change.

What I still think is the biggest strength of Carranger in regards to anything really is that the show never takes itself seriously and at the same time everyone in the show takes everything completely seriously.

The Bowzock are not evil they are just some idiots that wanna impress a women. But the characters in the show still see them as a real threat just like any other Sentai do. The show never stops and have the characters spell out that the villains are complete morons.

The key that many parodies seem to miss, not just Sentai, but in general.
To be a parody doesn't always need jobbing in front of a camera...

Gokaiger wasn't a space venture.

Different is scary. Different is bad.

The same thing is also scary and bad.

I just realized...

ToQger first combination (Cho ToQ-Oh) extends by the x-axis (width)
Ninninger first combination (King Shurikenjin) extends by the y-axis (height)

Does this mean what I think it means...?
