Kosoku Sentai Turboranger DVD Collection Vol.2

Well, after many years of only catching occasional clips of these series, I finally got to finish this. I thoroughly enjoyed this series overall. There's a certain charm about older tokusatsu, specifically series that predate Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. Turboranger was one of the first, if not the first, Super Sentai series to feature an all student team i.e. the original "teenagers with attitude". So all of their adventures involve trying to balance their youthful school life while simultaneously saving the world. Seems lots of tokusatsu actors can also sing. The Red Turboranger sings both the opening and ending themes of his own series. Interestingly, he also sang the opening theme to Zyuranger. Now, while the series alone is worth 5 stars, this DVD release has slight downsides. One of which is that there's no subtitles, Japanese or otherwise, whatsoever. I can understand not having English subtitles since this is a Japanese release, but no Japanese subtitles seems like a strange choice to me. Even Japan has deaf people and people who just can't hear well, doesn't it? My Japanese is decent enough to understand most of the episodes, but having Japanese subs always helps with those words I'm not familiar with. There's also no recorded interviews, commentary, TV spots or other behind the scenes material included on disk in this collection. Although there is a printed insert with some behind the scenes info and interviews with some of the cast which is a nice bonus.
