Gekisou Sentai Carranger: The Complete Series Reviews

Before Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, There Was Super Sentai!
See where the worldwide phenomenon began with the original Japanese series that inspired the Power Rangers franchise!
After the Bowzock, a ruthless — not to mention reckless — gang of interstellar biker thugs, destroy his home planet of Hazard, Dappu visits Earth where he discovers five humans with the ability to harness "Carmagic." With this power, these five heroes can defeat the Bowzock before the band of witless bikers is able to add Earth to its list of wrecked worlds.
With the 20th season of Super Sentai, Toei opted to go for a much more lighthearted approach to the franchise, creating what some consider a "parody" of itself. The result is the quirky Gekisou Sentai Carranger, a season that has become a fan-favorite throughout the world.

So, if you want a funny super sentai series with good action scenes, this is the set for you. If you remember from power rangers turbo, there were some quirky ranger footage that didnt really make sense. In Carranger, they make total sense since well, it is a comedy series, and it pretty much pokes fun at itself and the genre a bit. Even with this being a comedy series, its filled with great banter and fight scenes. the zord battles are actually really good and the finale is nothing like the turbo finale. so if you want some actual uncut footage with rangers vs the henchmen that were originally featured, then you'll have some good moments with this set. as the majority of carranger wasn't at all shown in power rangers turbo!

To take sentai seriously is, at the best of times, a tenuous effort. Kamen Rider's less-dour sibling is known for crazier, more kid-friendly fare. Then there's Carranger, which doesn't even TRY to be serious. A parody of other Sentai, especially Turboranger (ironically, it's adaption would be Power Rangers Turbo), it prided itself on being totally ludicrous from the beginning and racing right for the jokes every time. If you want a serious story, look elsewhere. But if you want to have fun and funny action, this is the one for you.
