Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger

Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger (爆竜戦隊アバレンジャー, Bakuryū Sentai Abarenjā) is Toei's twenty-seventh production of the Super Sentai metaseries, and the first series to use TV Asahi's current logo. It aired as a part of TV Asahi's 2003 Super Hero Time block with mh:terribletvshows:Kamen Rider 555. The series is based on dinosaurs and explosions. Its action footage was used in Power Rangers Dino Thunder.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Creative concept of an all dinosaur-themed sentai.
 * 2) The zords can talk, pretty much like Engine Sentai Go-Onger.
 * 3) Decent voice acting, especially from Bakuryuu Triceratops, who previously played DemiDevimon in the Japanese version of Digimon.
 * 4) It was also surprising that they had a Female Yellow Ranger for the first time in this season, since Denji Sentai Megaranger.
 * 5) Great acting.
 * 6) Unique comedy and humor (mostly provided by Asuka).
 * 7) Even with the release of Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, till this day this holds the record for being the greatest dinosaur-themed sentai season.
 * 8) Asuka/AbareBlack works as an awesome mentor and is a great comic-relief for the team. In fact, his ability to use a harmonica is like Burai from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. They were merged into the same character in the Power Rangers universe!
 * 9) Mikoto Nakadai/AbareKiller has a very interesting backstory. On top of that, even though he was supposed to be this season's sixth ranger, he is a villain majority throughout.
 * 10) The show teamed up with Tsuribaka Nisshi in a special video.
 * 11) Messenger of Dawn Reje is an intimidating, yet charming villain, mostly because she is a girl.
 * 12) Mikoto's Death was really Heartbreaking.
 * 13) Jannu was also a cool and sympathetic villain.
 * 14) It teamed up with Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger & Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, 2 other great Super Sentai series.
 * 15) Catchy theme song and ending, especially the part that goes, DINO GUTS!!!
 * 16) It's got a decent adaptation, Power Rangers Dino Thunder. In fact, an episode in the latter, called "Lost and Found In Translation" had the 3 main rangers watching episode 10 of this show and making silly remarks about "Power Rangers" in Japan.
 * 17) It teamed up with Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It had a crossover with Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, a flawed sentai season.
 * 2) Mikoto's death can be horrifying & inappropriate for children to watch.
 * 3) Poor arrangement of segments. In every episode, there is a pre-opening sequence where the title card is shown and then the opening plays, then there is also a post ending segment, which may take up a load of time.
