Third place for my favorite mecha design ever belongs to Galaxymega.

Shigeru Kanai was a ham as Yuusaku, but a lovable ham. Personally I think Eri Tanaka was the best actor (or at least the most natural) even if we didn't get too much of her. The acting was pretty good all around-not an obvious dud to drag everything down in sight. I know I playfully dismissed a lot of behavior on both sides in the last post, but I enjoyed spending a year with pretty much everyone in the series. I liked everyone well enough in the series. It was a nice trick, and it really paid off. Some really neat architecture made up for the fact that they really couldn't show us a warped Nejirejia hellscape or a Megaranger digital experience. To make up for the lack of real high-tech sets, the series used a number of really interesting locations to give the visuals and extra oomph.

This series was surprisingly sparse with the gadgets. The only one that was weak was the Mega Sniper, which is a two-piece weapon that I think only once in the entire series was used as a two-piece. Like I said, it's kind of a bummer that they gradually ruined it as the series progressed, but it is what it is.ĭigitizers, Keitaizer, Battle Riser, Drill Saber, Multi Attack Rifle, Cybersliders, Silver Blazer, etc. I needed to give this it's own shout out since I love it so damn much. There isn't a bad design among them and even Megasilver looks fantastic.Īwesome, awesome, awesome design. They're slick, uncomplicated, and fit the theme perfectly. Honestly, there are no bad Super Sentai team suits of the 90s. In no particular order I am now going through what I found to be the wins and opportunities this series had.


It's something I talked about previously.and it's something that still bugs me about Super Sentai. As I watched, however, one glaring issue jumped out at me. I really had to concentrate a little bit harder this time since, like I mentioned previously, I'm not entirely familiar with this show. I'll save my verdict until the very end, so keep that in mind as you read on. I never really said whether or not I liked the show. I know I skipped some favorites like Koichiro's foil Ooiwa and the lame duo of Shintaro and Jiro.but really, who cares? Ooiwa was a cool drunk initially and was always supportive of his students, but he always felt shoehorned into situations later on. In that part I talk about the majority of the characters that inhabit the series. Welcome back to my revisiting of the 1997 Super Sentai series Denji Sentai Megaranger! Didn't catch Part 1? Fix this immediately by reading it here.
