A typically absurd moment from the latest sentai series, Dekaranger.
I’m enjoying the series despite my general apathy towards Power Rangers-ish shows. (I don’t think I’ve managed to sit through one of Haim Saban’s reimaginings for more than 10 minutes.)
Dekaranger, while unrepentantly formulaic, is irresistible cheesy fun. There are some pedestrian attempts at drama but the series is definitely at its best when it’s being tongue-in-cheek.
Special mention has to be made of Doggie Kruger, the blue-furred alien with the dog-like head, whose stylish Dekamaster incarnation is an outstanding character design.
Dekalinks:
- Torrents for TV-Nihon’s subbed episodes.
- Jillun has episode summaries.
- HLJ’s listing of the merchandise.
