爆竜戦隊アバレンジャー Explosive dinosaur Sentai Abaranger
Note that Abare and renjaa share a single "re" between them, so Abaranger is a portmanteau of those two words. The middle r should not be capped. Same reasoning applies to Abared's name. Abare is Japanese for "rampage".
Super Sentai series number 27.
February 16, 2003 - February 8, 2004 (50 episodes)
Two sentence summary
A parallel Earth, Dino Earth, where people evolved into Ryuujin and dinosaurs into Bakuryuu are invaded by the Evolian. This battle continues on into our world (which they call Another Earth).
