As you may know car ranger was adapted into the awful show Power Rangers Turbo. Carranger however is awesome. You see Carranger was actually a joke sentai meant to be a self parody of the sentai genre unfortunately Saban and co didn't get the joke for some reason and tried to make it serious. Carranger is anything but serious. For example in one episode right in the middle of a fight the Car rangers receive their weapons along with an instruction manuel the car rangers take a brief moment to read the instructions and examine their weapons rather then take the opportunity to strike at them the enemies just wait for them to presume. In the first episode the would be car rangers are relectant to become super heroes and fight so their mentor Dappu (a weird alien creature thing) drags them out to battle. Later Dappu is injured and tells the carrangers a sad story about his mother dying he then seems to die sad for their friends the carrangers transform for the first time to avenge him only to find out he was okay and just faking it so they would become carrangers. Another episode has the monster of the day meeting a woman on a street. Instead of attacking her he salutes and bows to her greeting her she then screams and runs in fear this angers the monster who goes after her to attack her. The carrangers themselves have way more personality then any power ranger team I've seen and the villains are just as entertaining. They spend most of the time hanging out in the bar and the leader gynamo spends most of his time flirting with zonnette gazing at her a$$ and sticking his tongue out. Car ranger is the best super sentai series I've seen so far.
