The show that became Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 3, Kakuranger will stream for free on Shout! Factory TV later this month.
Remember when the Alien Rangers showed up in Power Rangers and they seemed kinda ninja like? Remember when the Zords turned into a giant Japanese building? Why did the Tengas exist? Well, thanks to Shout! Factory, all your questions will be answered when they stream Ninja Sentai Kakuranger on May 20th.
Kakurangerholds a unique place in the history of Power Rangers/Super Sentai. It was the first time Power Rangers used a full different team from the Sentaiwhich was a sign of things to come. Since Kakuranger, Power Rangers began using most of the Sentaiteams instead of skipping them, as they had done with most of the Dairanger team.
Following up their succesful stream of Dairanger last year, Shout! Factory will be streaming several Kakuranger episode for free on Shout Factory TV. Previous Sentai streams have included factoids and trivia about the season's being streamed so we're looking forward to hearing some unheard facts about Kakuranger!
The complete series of Kakuranger is already on DVD, so if you haven't picked it up this is a great way of gettting a look at the series. No word on how many episodes will be streamed but if it's like previous marathons, it'll be the first seven episodes. In past marathons new Sentai seasons have been announced to be coming to DVD. With Megaranger already recently announced, could a Gingaman announcement be on the way? Only time will tell.
