Dengeki Sentai Changeman

[Red Sky Ranger]

Changeman nails the whole military theme. It's everything a sentai should be, right down to the definition. The story is about the tragedy and trauma of war. The group of strangers who unite to fight a common enemy. Not only the team of heroes, but the many allies they encounter throughout the course of the series.

The story's deep and the characters fleshed out; the cast and crew are all respectful of the material. It was a well cast and well acted show, each actor perfectly brings their character to life, and each character is believable in the role. Even the suit actors are well cast, it's one of a handful of shows where you believe that the person in-suit is the same character. The villains all have depth, a history with one another -- they're not mustache-twirlin', evil-for-the-sake-of-it stock characters.

The designs by Yutaka Izubuchi are amazing; action by Junji Yamaoka breathtaking (he was intent on making the actors do as many of their own stunts as possible); the music by Tatsumi Yano is simply the best.

AND it's bad-ass.

I couldn't have said it better myself. :buttrock:

I really need to get someone to translate this series ... I've watched it raw but I need the full shibang now!

That would be awesome.

I think this is definitely one of those shows that proves people wrong when they say you don't need subs to understand Sentai.

Until the holy time comes when a translator comes forward, I suggest going to Never Stop Changeman and using those episode guides. The detail in them brings you pretty close to a sub, not quite as good as the real thing but closer than I've been before!!!

^That's pretty much what I did when I watched Changeman. Basri & Shougo helped me out alot.

I never used Never Stop Changeman, because nobody actually told me about it......SSSSSHHHHHAAAAUUUUUNNNN. Heh heh. I'd roughly understand some of the stuff that was going on in episodes, and I'd talk to Shaun on MSN and he'd help let me know what the episodes are about.

I must rewatch this series someday, and go through NSCM. I absolutely loved this series, subs or no subs. Definetely a top 5 Sentai series for me. :buttrock:

NEVER STOP! Changeman!

I love this series, I can't stop watching it. The Gozma are really interesting and I love the music and effects.

So I decided I was gonna buckle down and be consistent at watching Changeman. Although I've seen the first 10 episodes about 6 times... I re-started on it tonight. I really do enjoy this series though, well as much as I've watched of it. It'd be a crime to have it available and not watch it, yo.

What I'm thankful for about Changeman, obviously, are the themes. The catchy opening theme and the AWESOME ending theme that almost brought a tear to my eyes at the very end of the series.

Heh heh. Love Gyodai too. Just can't get his phrase out of my head. "GGGGYYYYOOOODDDDAAAAIIIII!"
