Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger
Nov. 26th, 2011 03:27 pmWhere there is life, there is a roar of justice!
The 25th Super Sentai, Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger is a very heavily merchandise driven series; Hyakuju in fact means "One Hundred Beasts", so the fact that only 24 or so Power Animals are actually used in the show could be considered a sign of restraint on the part of the toymakers. Another way the merchandising manifests is that for the most part the Gaorangers do not address each other by their civilian names, but by their colors, much the way a small child who's not paying all that much attention to the character bits would probably do so anyway.
( More thoughts behind the cut. )
