As a person who is used to seeing newer Tokusatsu and not really look back on the past, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the first episode of Goranger. While I agree a lot of the aspects of it hasn't aged to it's greatest it still is a pretty fun ride to go through, along with the fact that it made the Black Cross Army actually threatening and terrifying, legitimately scary, something you don't always have with newer Toku. I also like the way it portrayed some of the characters and the way they would act to give the audience information about their personality without having to explain it to us with senseless dialog alluded to what's to come 20 episodes later. It kinda brought me back to a simpler time where an episode was more of a fun experience then a giant start to 50 thousand different plot threads. Not that I dislike or can't tolerate newer Toku, trust me I love the shit out of it, but if it's one thing Goranger has inspired me to do it's look back on older Showa Sentai and Rider series, because even if the style and way of working is dramatically different from what I'm used, that just means when it's good I'll probably enjoy it tens times more.
This is a great review man, glad I met you at PMC and this was a great video. I know watching all of Goranger isn't an easy task but I know it was worth it. Great job on the review
I wouldnt mind Shout! putting this series on DVD!! It would probably be the only Pre-Saban Sentai that i would buy because it was the first Sentai show!!
Fun fact: Daisuke Ban (the guy who plays Kenji’s childhood friend Tetsuya Yokota) would later appears in Battle Fever J as Battle Cossack II and both characters had similar sad deaths
I have a few gripes with reds review 1. The reason there aren’t any Mecha fights, simply stem from giant mecha not being popular at the time fallowing giant robo in 1968, in fact it wasn’t until daitetsujin 17 and toei spider man that helped popularize mecha fights again 2. The kkk inspired design was used before-multiple times, mostly Kamen rider, hell! Satan egos from battle fever j, even has a kkk inspired look (red if your reading this, nice job with the space hitler thing, it’s not like people are gonna ignore the kkk and their crimes eh?) And 3. It’s a toku show from the 70s, kikaider, inzuaman, and even Kamen rider, all have dated special effects and stories, and yet we like how campy it is, think of it like the 60s batman series, where the visuals are dated, and yet we still like them for it
Hey, Marvelous in Red, we met in PMC and recently met back up at Japan World Heroes; to jog your memory a bit; at JWH, I was the Decade who did the Super Hero Taise pics with you on Day 2 or was it Day 3? But antsy, I finally got around to seeing your channel as well. Sure, Gorenger hasn't aged that well but at least it was the one that started it all. It's still remembered fondly in Japan. When the Sendai Earthquake hit, Akarenger's statue in front of the Ishinomori museum survived. That statue along with Ichigo's statue became symbols of hope while Japan was recovering. It got remembered well enough to have Akarenger lead all of the Super Sentai in the Legend War against the Zangyack Empire. In fact, from time to time, Akarenger has been featured in Japan's Red Warrior shows alongside his sucessors. Its effects may not be up to par to today but it still carries the same positive messages Super Sentai has always carried throughout the years and I appreciate what this show did and what it paved the way for.
Many of the same complaints can be applied to the first Kamen Rider and other early toku shows: Low budget, inconsistent, and often poorly scripted. So? For the audience at the time, they were new and exciting, and many old-timers like myself remember them fondly. Don't judge Gorenja too harshly, when the "sentai of the week" shows have begun to blend together into an indistinguishable, mass-produced sequence of series. Generation Kikaida represent! =^[.]^=
Wow, these special effects have not aged well. It's really amazing to see how the campy, cheesy effects, odd comic relief moments, and occasionally outlandish evil plots clash so much with the attempts to make a serious/violent series.
James Bevan yeah the special effects were the best for it’s time keep in mind their was no cgi all the bad were miniatures and other filming techniques😜
Though it did not hold up to the test of time, Gorangers was a enormous hit in Japan when it came out that year and it started the Super Sentai Franchise. This and JAKQ would not be part of the franchise until 1995.
In terms of writing, direction, and designs go shows like Ultra Q and Kamen Rider did a far better job also I don't know why Goranger didn't have any Mecha or gigantic creatures because at the time of its run both Terror of Mechagodzilla and 76 King Kong in the theaters. Also, why was red the only one with a gun?
I really hope you get more subscribers, this is amazing. It's like a more concise version of History of Power Rangers, though I suspect the episodes will get longer as plots become more complex.

Great review love gorenger it’s a great sentai huge sentai fan on vacation in Dayton beach Florida with my family a friend of mine sent me a email he is sick🥴😎
I guess you have bad standards and the show was not ment for you. Also it seems to me that your from North American region, so correct me if im wrong but dosent Power Rangers suit more for your personal taste.

Ditto. It needs an official international release thru Shout Factory or Discotech Media. Long overdue.

Lightspeed Reviews 🧐
You even forgot to mention the movies that they had
切れ味最高＆気分爽快！
15:51 That's f'n hysterical.
I'm sure he just walked it off, though.
JLRules 👍
I found a Super Sentai fast track guide that recommends watching 23 episodes out of the 84 episodes on Goranger. Does that make it worth a watch?

I couldn't finish watching your video due to your commentary. Sorry. I only clicked your video because I loved Goranger as a kid.
ELIASyIBARRA GONZALES-BAUTISTA your so lucky I saw gorenger on the archive website in 2008 with English subtitles 👍

Can anyone help me where I can watch all super sentai episodes? When i searched in RUclips i can't see so please help me ☺️
@Thomas Meehan is there a link to it.

Great review love gorenger it’s a great sentai huge sentai fan on vacation in Dayton beach Florida with my family a friend of mine sent me a email he is sick🥴😎
What episodes would you recommend for a short or at least faster watch ?
Also great content
Thanks for the support! I recommend JAKQ, as it's only 37 episodes, and is still quite enjoyable despite some wonky narrative.
Femi Alaka recommend the episode where train mask greets everyone so funny😆
Yo dude it's cool that you know the episodes but... From we're did you watch it?, it's hard for me to find all the episodes especially subtitled.
I'm pretty sure it's on Kissasian if you're still looking
@@mikeyburris5596 it's not
@@WGPhil-uw5cs huh weird. I remember being able to find it. Krdl.moe has it then
@@mikeyburris5596 when i used it they had battle fever as the oldest sentai with subs
W.G Phil awesome 😎
23k views but 918 subs man that sucks
1975 Made in Japan. 秘密戦隊ゴレンジャー
I guess you have bad standards and the show was not ment for you. Also it seems to me that your from North American region, so correct me if im wrong but dosent Power Rangers suit more for your personal taste.
Rain Enn gorenger is a great sentai 👍
I like the theme actually, it really suits in its time. Most people back then were still having a post-WWII traumas.
4:18の子かわいいけど誰？Who is that cute girl?
わかった。本田みきだった。
❤great sentai
Marvelous in Red Where did you get the footage for this?
