Karato retrospective, and nostalgia

As you know Karato was Saban's next Americanization of a Toei superhero show.

It used footage from Kidou Keiji Jiban in it's first season for the titular character, and Tokusou Robo Janperson for the titular character in Season two along with his sidekick Silver Ray.

As well as footage from Blue Swat, and Rescue Hero all series long for the supporting heroes the Mega Patrol.

As you also know the show's two seasons have recently been put on Netflix, and Shout Factory has released it on DVD

So I felt it was a good time to talk about it.

I'll start by saying that I liked how Karato, and Silver Ray where the first gay robot couple on a live action children's superhero show.

I also liked Dr. Baron von Madman he was a pretty cool villain so were Goldex, and Wingar.

As for my favorite episode I'm going to go with Dr. Madman had his monster Elepunk steal little kids brains so he sell them on the black market.
