the epitaph of twilight

At this point I have now seen 20 Super Sentai from beginning to end and so I've decided to rank them up, going from least favorite to most favorite, and I would like to stress that every series on this list has something going for it and even if some were disappointing, they still had aspects to them that made watching them worthwhile. Also, there are going to be spoilers, though I did try not to give too much away.

The post itself is too long to be brought over to livejournal, so here's the dreamwidth link.

Six thousand years ago the Daos Empire was torn apart in warfare between the Dai tribe and the Gohma tribe. In the present day, the remnants of the Gohma have begun reasserting themselves and their schemes to conquer the world. To stop their evil ambitions, the mysterious martial artist Kaku gathered five young people with high Qi-levels to become the Dairangers and fight!

Gosei Sentai Dairanger is a heavily Chinese martial arts themed series with each character practicing a distinct martial art, the uniforms looking like martial arts uniforms, the red ranger's dragon mech is able to transform into a very light and agile staff fighter while the combination mech is patterned after a Chinese warrior and so on and so forth. Also, the main three villains wear leather bondage gear. Interesting.

Gosei Sentai Dairanger has also not been completely subbed so for the last fifteen episodes I can only glean the more obvious plot points.

( It is still very worth it. )

In summation it's a very good show, and I just wish that the whole series were subbed so that I could enjoy it even more.
