Gekisou Sentai Carranger "Fighting For Traffic Safety" Review

 


Power Rangers fans even tho it's been a shockingly long time since I last reviewed anything to do with Power Rangers. I thought that now was the absolutely right time to review something from the franchise that spawned Power Rangers that of course being Super Sentai and so then join me as I review the first episode of the show is a parody of the Super Sentai format and formula with the show being called Gekisou Sentai Carranger and the first episode being called simply just "Fighting For Traffic Safety" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is after his home planet is destroyed an alien called Dappu arrives of earth to find the five heroes who will begin to bring peace to the galaxy. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes plot being the stereotypical plot for a first episode but one that is also rather enjoyable and fun to watch play out in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Yūji Kishi as Kyosuke Jinnai , Yoshihiro Masujima as Naoki Domon and Yoshihiro Fukuda as Minoru Uesugi. Also starring in this episode is Yuka Motohashi as Natsumi Shinohara , Atsuko Kurusu as Youko Yagami , Mari Maruta as The Voice Of Dappu , Rika Nanase as Beauty Zonnette , Hiroshi Ōtake as The Voice Of President Gynamo , Kyousei Tsukui as The Voice Of Deputy Leader Zelmoda and Takashi Nagasako as The Voice Of Inventor Grotch.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With all of this episodes quite clearly trying to make this material work however this episodes script just doesn't give any of this episodes cast anything to work with what so freaking in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


This episode has a shockingly dark opening since we open upon the episode with a gang destroying an entire planet. Which was something that you'd never ever see on an episode of Power Rangers and yes they do confirm that all of the planets inhabitants died in the explosion which just goes to show you just how dark this episodes opening scene well and truly is and it oddly works well enough in this freaking episodes favour in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


For those that don't know this particular sentai is actually meant to be viewed as a parody of the sentai format and formular and as a parody this episode does work really well. With this episode having alot of good jokes that not only take aim at the Sentai franchise but at every day live with the five main heroes having to literally be dragged into action which is just the best joke in the entire episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I don't really think that this needs to be said since you can quite clearly tell by the pictures but this sentai had it's footage used in Power Rangers Turbo. With from what I can tell very little footage from this episode being used at all in Power Rangers Turbo but I could be wrong tho but given that this sentai is meant to be a parody it makes me wonder why the makers behind Power Rangers chose to adapt this sentai since it's quite clearly something that's not be to taken seriously in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


For some reason this show chose to make it's main guardian character seem fairly unlikable and really annoying. Since he's given this really annoying voice and an irritating personally with him lying to our heroes in order to get them to do whatever they he wants him to do which makes him seem really unlikable and so I can only hope that he gets better as the show goes on but so far this character is not of to a good start at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had a grand total running time of exactly nineteen minuets and fifty nine seconds and so then lets round all of that up to twenty minuets shall we. I will admit this episode could have been a bit longer since it throws so much at you in such a short amount of time that it's hard to keep up with what's going on story wise and so if anything this episode should at the very freaking least have been two episodes long in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


So now then this episode does have alot of action within it and so then that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. However that's also the issue because of the fact that this episodes action isn't that particularly good ether in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall this episode was a good episode and you can quite easily see why Power Rangers Turbo is considered to be such a bad season of the show since this episode features alot of what makes that show so bad in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from this actual freaking episode being the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page actually has a wide varitity of images from this actual freaking episode all of which are currently featured / up and on the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.
