Bizzare and disturbing but my son loves it
27 January 2024
It feels like an anime written by toddlers, and I would rate this series higher if it didn't have so much inappropriate expression of emotion. The premise is so strange it's almost watchable as an absurd comedy. The main characters are child-like animals similar to sentient stuffed animals, they are a four member defense team with a commanding officer who contacts them in times of need. In their regular day to day they live with a pre-teen human girl who is their caretaker. She has a home which they live in, but doesn't have parents, also is bullied sometimes by other human kids. There is an overlapping metropolis of humans and animals who go about their lives in a strange parallel symmetry. When a villain inevitably shows up the animal team members transform into human power rangers to fight and also have corresponding mech vehicles. They often combine, transform, and do other power ranger things, but the perspective shifts from power ranger battles to anime soap opera drama in domestic settings. Dialog is so terrible and cliche that it is hilarious. The only real irredeemable quality is the emotional immaturity and outbursts of characters could teach your kid to be a brat, a bully, or otherwise disrespectful and annoying. But overall I'll put it on from time to time to entertain my kid, just in moderation. Side note, if you're looking for something to get drunk with friends and watch this will have you laughing in no time.
