Let's go Carranger Carranger!

[HenshinRenegade]

I've been looking back on Sentai history, We all know that Ohranger almost killed the franchise. If it weren't for Gekisou Sentai Carranger. Sentai would have been long gone by now. We owe everything to Carranger. For saving Sentai and giving the franchise new life. We wouldn't have Megaranger-Shinkenger if it weren't for Carranger. What are you feelings on Carranger? It's one of my favorite Sentai series.:castlerock:

Maybe Sentai should have died after Ohranger and saved us the grief of what we see now. How about that? :loltongue:

Ohranger almost killed the franchise? Really? And Carranger saved it?

Ohranger was considered too dark for Children. Toei was almost going to cancel Sentai but decided to give it one more chance with Carranger. They made it more Family Friendly. And it saved the Franchise.

I prefer Ohranger over Carranger.

Ohranger is dark? Could have fooled me...

Ohranger was considered too dark for Children.

Eh, that wasn't really it. While Ohranger did have to lighten up after the various real-life tragedies hitting Japan at the time, I don't think it would have ever been a show that was canceled for being too dark like a Metalder, even if it had stayed on its original course.

Basically, after having to change its tone (it was supposed to be a serious story about invasion, supposedly), it left the writers lost, and only able to do lighthearted fillers. The show's ratings were terrible, and Toei considered pulling the plug on the franchise, but Ohranger's toys managed to sell well, so that's why they supposedly gave it another shot with Carranger -- knowing vehicular mechas are favorites amongst buyers, and doing something a little different with the franchise (a full-on parody) helped turn things around.

How bad is Ohranger? Big time sentai fan Shoko Nakagawa has said that she "likes every sentai...except for Ohranger." :laugh:

 

[Forever Knight]

She hasn't seen Go-Onger yet.

Ohranger is that bad? I thought those were just fans over exaggerating.

Anyway. My thoughts on Carranger: Well, it's really bizarre, funny, hilarious, and weird! Love it! :laugh:

Although I tend to view Carranger as separate from the rest of the sentai franchise, due to it being completely unique, and kind of aiming at a different genre. Which is why I rarely compare Carranger to any other sentai. Same with Go-onger. I treat it as it's own thing.

So yeah! It's definitely worth a good laugh! Especially for sentai fans. Shows Toei isn't scared to make fun of their own shows. Which I like. Carranger is quite an intriguing season.

I prefer Ohranger over Carranger.

I prefer both, except the Ohranger movie. It had too many WTF moments for me to enjoy.
