Tokusou sentai Dekarenjâ

Great casting, over the top action, and incredible sense of humor rounds up this very fine series that was made for kids, but has many adult fans.

In the near future, where space travel has become common, earth is faced with criminals from outer space. In order to deal with these criminals, Special Police Dekaranger (SPD) was formed.

There're more regular super heroes in this series, than other Sentai Series drama. There's the usual core five team members consisting of Deka Red (Ryuji Sainei), Deka Blue (Tsuyoshi Hayashi), Deka Green (Yosuke Ito), Deka Yellow (Ayumi Kinoshita), and Deka Pink (Mika Kikuchi). Add to this, the white colored Deka Break (Yuichi Yoshida), and Captain Doggie Kruger turned Deka Master (Tetsu Inada) that joins the battle, and Shratori Swan aka Deaka Swan (Mako Ishino) that takes care of gadgets Deka Rangers uses.

There's something different about this series from all the other Sentai Series. Production is far more elaborate, and more than few of the actors are A list or have gone on to become A list actors since this series. Action is bigger, and special effects that didn't rely too much on CG made the action look even wilder. This series also has one of the best props, and the best designed bad guys costume. None of the bad guys looks really evil. They look like wanna be scary guys, but instead looks kind of humorous. The humor is built into the costume, and you have to see it to appreciate how funny and awesome some of these characters looks.

This excellent series won the 2006 Japanese Nebula award in media division which was the first for Sentai Series drama, and third for sci-fi drama series after "Ultraman Tiga" and "Kamen Rider Kuga".

Fantastic sci-fi series that defies imagination in many ways. Highly recommended along with "Dekaranger The Movie" , and two other made for video specials co-starring Abaranger, and Magiranger.

Words can't describe how bad this show is. It has absolutely no plot (as of this writing the series is about to end and all they seem to be doing is introducing new toys...I mean characters). The cast is supposed to be made up of elite cops who tend to goof off and be pretty instead of trying to act.

It's convoluted junk. The acting is bad. The characters are lame. The designs are horrid. The action is weak. And since a show about the planet's most elite and finest cops happens to be a comedy in this case, the comedy is unfunny. To enjoy this heap of waste would most likely require a lobotomy.

The best show that I have ever seen - it is full of romance, action, adventure and thrills.

Tokusou sentai Dekaranger follows the adventures of the earth branch of the Special Police Dekaranger task force and their mission to combat the threat of hostile Alienizers.

I was surprised that Dekaranger the Movie was not nominated for the best picture or best foreign language film - a big oversight by the Academy in my opinion, especially when compared to the winners in these categories.

I recommend this series and the movie to everyone who is super cool.

Yes! I watched then since I was 7! Now I'm 20!. Once upon a time Dekarangers suddenly popped on my facebook page and I just simply watched it, and WOW! After rewatching the deka fighting scene my childhood memories starts to flooded into my head and made me wants to watch dekarangers again!

I'll admit, having watched Power Rangers for a long time and not realizing its' Japanese origins, I was slightly curious to find out exactly why the two were compared and the fans split into the infamous "PR Snobs" and "Sentai Snobs". I chose Dekaranger as my first Sentai show to watch since I was very familiar with the americanized version and I thought I would be able to look at it better that way...

I was simple blown away.

Dekaranger has EVERYTHING! It's funny, sweet, has lots of action, drama. No two episodes were exactly alike and it was nowhere as cheesy as it's Americanized counterpart. While Power Rangers used a lot of the same story lines I found myself enjoying the Dekarangers characters more. While I couldn't bring myself to like Jack of PR, I LOVED Ban...and all of the team.

While I still like Power Rangers, Dekaranger is MUCH MUCH better and more fun to watch and I strongly recommend it, especially if you are not a normal fan of Sentai. After this show, you will fall in love with it.
