And with that I mean the fact that, like it happened with the Spiderman Toku and the Avengers Toku going by the name of Battle Fever J, once again an IP that some people like myself never liked in the first place - in this instance, the useless Harry Potter movies - are translated into something even haters of said IP can fully enjoy, de facto trumping the original sources in every regards (it's no secret this Sentai was spawned by the success of the Harry Potter movies in Japan). It's also a nice reminder that, once again, the Sentais - barring the awful exception of the Big One from JAKQ Dengekitai, one of the worst sentai characters ever put on screen period - are better at giving the idea of a superhero team than the american mainstream products like the JSA, JLA and the Avengers (where you can always bet there's a member destroying the artificial need for said team to exist in the first place) because the connection between each member feels real and believable (in this case they're all siblings), maybe not at the same level of the 90's Sailor Moon but still very real and believable nonetheless. Also, having started this series because I wanted to see Michiko Soga's cameo in the role of an heavenly saint while I'm waiting for a Celestine The Living Saint from Warhammer 40K action figure to be delivered to me (courtesy of JoyToy), I'm very happy for her cameo in this series and in the linked movie, which is better and more sensical than the awful Abaranger movie by a mile even if Abaranger was better as a series on the whole. I also appreciated the fact that, as it will become clear towards the end, somebody apparently took notes from the underrated work Toshiki Inoue previously did with Choujin Sentai Jetman. As an ending note, this completely demolishes any reason to watch the american clone, this is the real thing and you don't need anything else to enjoy it because there's nothing difficult for a westerner to understand. Highly recommended.
