More people should read Kakuranger's translations notes. They're not necessary to enjoy the show, but they are very insightful to what made Kakuranger unique. Back on topic. Huzzah! Between this and Gingaman, I'm set on Sentai for awhile. |

Kakuranger was the one to made it all about Japanese pop culture and folklore. The Storyteller is part of that. It is not unique for be comical. Fiveman and Jetman have just about the same amount of humor in them.
More people should read Kakuranger's translations notes. They're not necessary to enjoy the show, but they are very insightful to what made Kakuranger unique. The first arc of Kakuranger puts a big emphasis on comedy, and often pokes fun at both the heroes and villains. The Storyteller is there to help remind the show's original audience that this is supposed to be a comedy, and you should be laughing at the antics of these misfit heroes and villains. Remember that prior to Kakuranger, Sentai had at most comedic scenes or episodes. The idea of a strictly comedic story arc in Sentai was something the audience at the time probably wouldn't have expected. It was probably reasonable to worry that viewers wouldn't quite understand what the show was doing without (literally) a character present to point it out. |

I'm always happy when a sub group treads new territory and Ohranger is one of the older series that I've always wanted to see. Can't wait to check this out.

Watched the first 8 eps of OhRanger and I really like it. It's interesting to see the amount of bravado and arrogance that Oh-Red has. I'm sure that won't bite him in the ass at some point.
And the villains are actually rather evil here. King Baron: "I can't defeat you by normal means so I'm just going to throw you into the fucking sun." Genius. |
