i loved jungle fury only because of the martix dude and the new rangers in action

I can't stand listening to that fucking lisp.

I've heard Mystic Force and SPD are pretty big turds. The Disney Era has been pretty hit or miss so far.

>>4930761
I enjoyed Mystic Force, great characters and great family love at the end. Good ending =)

Favorite: Mighty Morphin
Least: Ninja Storm, GOD IT WAS BAD
I like Galaxy and In Space, is it me or did the red ranger in space look like Legolas?

Also, Dino Force was badass because 1. Return of Tommy 2. The theme was awesome 3. The main villain was really creepy and had this attitude of "I WILL kill you.....slowly"

>>4930766

Rita was mentioned in Mystic Force right?

The first half of Turbo sucks - including the movie, which how it got a theatrical release is beyond me. I think that's the reason it stick out in most people's eyes as a bad season... but when you get past the halfway point, where they had a switch of head writers (Chip Lynn, who would go on to do Space-through-Time Force and the second half of RPM) and a cast changeover, it actually becomes pretty damn good. It's not as epic in scope as the following season, but it doesn't need to be - it's a prelude, foreshadowing that shit's about to go down with the whole Millennium Message subplot.

Also, TJ is easily my favorite Red Ranger ever - Jason was always too serious, Rocky was a goofball, and Tommy, by the time he wore red, was basically going through the motions... TJ was the first Red Ranger who had the right mixture of personable and competence. Even when Andros took over, it wasn't really a demotion - he just happened to have more experience as a Space Ranger, but he was a loner prone to going off on his own. TJ was still the one who made the important calls, who the other Rangers looked to when the going got though.

>>4930761
SPD was ok, it wasn't good but not terrible. The first "special" ranger that was BARELY EVER USED was pretty cool, I liked his costume.

>>4930772
>>I like Galaxy and In Space, is it me or did the red ranger in space look like Legolas?
It's not just you. Rumor has it that the writer and director of Forever Red recorded commentary for the Best Of Power Rangers DVD, but it was cut because they disparaingly made jokes calling Andros "Legolas", and Disney was worried New Line would sue them... so yeah.

>>4930780
Only to handwave the fact her actress was in it.

>>4930766
You mean The Nick Show?

>>4930787

Divatox was pretty funny in all her overacting glory.

Too bad Turbo was more or less the comic relief season of the Zordon era.

>>4930814

forgot my pic.

>>4930787
I loved that show as a kid but when I go back and watch it now, I don't get how. The villains were SO DERPY!

>>4930801
That
is
ridiculous

>ctrl-f Lightspeed Rescue

Really?

REALLY?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_vxdIAN4gU

This shows how bad Turbo was.
A kid Ranger and Jive Talking Alpha.

>>4930846
Lightspeed Rescue was MORALS, BAD ACTING, AND BAD ZORDS

>>4930814
No, when Turbo was intentionally comedic, it was GOOD. The problem was Zeo adapted the fairly straight Ohranger into a season that was darker and more serious than MMPR... but Ohranger bombed in Japan because of the Sarin gas attacks (think about how American networks scrambled to pull any and all action-driven programming from their lineup after 9/11), so Carranger, a self-parody, was made instead... but the writers of Zeo wanted to continue their storyline. So we got goofy, absurd Carranger footage and villains mixed with SRS BZNS plots about Divatox trying to *bomb* highly populated areas, with the Ranger actors playing it completely straight. The resulting clash is what REALLY makes Turbo's first half hard to swallow.

When Chip Lynn took over and newer, less "hardened" Rangers were brought in, the show was able to lean into the wacky Carranger footage and do goofy, MMPR-esque stories like "Carlos is turned into a vampire" or "Rangers have a catchy tune stuck in their head due to a monster rock band", while still turning SRS when they needed to - the finale of Turbo is basically one long, dragged out, hopeless battle that the Rangers know they can't win. And they don't.

>>4930855
>>BAD ZORDS
>>implying the SUPERTRAIN MEGAZORD is bad
HEY
FUCK YOU

>>4930859

Well yeah, the finally was neat, but Turbo epically the movie was garbage on any level. Sure now you can laugh at it, but back then it was not as funny. All i remember about it was it making me pretty much stop watching power rangers religiously. I skipped all of In Space and i casually watched Galaxy and LSR.

>>4930846

>Implying LSR was more than just an ok season.

>>4930823
I'd like to plunder HER booty, if you get my ribald analogy.

>>4930859

>about how American networks scrambled to pull any and all action-driven programming from their lineup after 9/11

THEY CANCELED MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM!!!!!

>>4930880
I think they used that zord 3 times, oh lawdy

>>4930892
That's, like, your opinion, man. EVERYTHING from "Passing The Torch" onward was good, not just the finale. Even as a kid I liked it better - it wasn't awkwardly trying to juxtapose plots about the Rangers finding jobs with Divatox as a mad bomber. It was just straightforward MMPR-style goodness. Really, Turbo v.1 and Turbo v.2 are practically entirely different shows. They even had different actresses for Divatox.

>>4930911

but they had a damn kid as a Power Ranger.

Mystic Force had good BGMs and I sadly have not found mp3s of the MF Legend Theme.

Also, Red Dragon Fire Ranger was awesome for using a flying version of Kamen Rider Hibiki-Style fighting.

>>4930914
Justin was a bad idea, but at least he related better to TJ & co. than he did to Tommy & co. Because of the retarded "Justin is actually a kid genius" thing they pulled out of left field early on, he went to Angel Grove High - which the Rangers had just graduated, so they STILL had nothing in common with Justin outside of Ranger-ing and acted like his babysitters or foster parents, basically. The teenagers with attitude had become adults who looked after a kid and spent most of their time applying for jobs - kids couldn't relate to them. At all.

TJ and co., on the other hand, were still in high school themselves, and since Justin had more experience as a Ranger, that put him AT LEAST on equal footing with them. They treated him as a peer, not as their kid sidekick. And hey, at least they had the courtesy to write him out of the show as soon as his one year contract was up.

>>4930772
>Least: Ninja Storm, GOD IT WAS BAD

No it wasn't.

You haven't seen bad until you've seen Jungle Fury.

Why they got a guy to write for a series he didn't even like in the first place is beyond me.

>>4930939
And then he reappeared in "In Space"

>>4930941
I didn't watch past Ninja Storm, in b4 "DON'T JUDGE THEN", because of how bad it was. The red ranger was some random ass ethnicity and SKATEBOARDED. The fucking motorbikes were.....god.....

>>4930945

That was a one episode cameo, just like Adam coming back as the Black Power Ranger for one episode.

Can we all agree that Wild Force, Turbo, and SPD were the worst seasons?

>>4930949
Then quite frankly I think you need to shut the fuck up and stop posting bullshit.

>>4930772
You mention "Dino Force" here, which was actually Dino Thunder and was the season directly after Ninja Storm.

>>4930799
And here you mention SPD, which was the season after Dino Thunder.

So if you've never seen anything past Ninja Storm, what exactly are you basing your opinion on? Second hand information?

Get the fuck outta here.

>>4930964
Oh hey ya.....I forgot it was after Ninja Storm. Sorry I messed up with the order and I didn't mean it literally. I meant Dino Thunder, obviously. You don't need to get bent out of shape because I made a blunder. It's apparent I've watched things after it since I knew details about the seasons afterwards. I was mostly making a point about how bad Ninja Storm was.

Favorite: Space
Least: Galaxy

I had given up on PR when Turbo premiered, but as soon as the promos started for Space I was back with a vengeance. The suits are slick, the entire team was pretty, the main villains were fantastic, the mechs were epic, and the story wasn't brutally stupid. Most of all...Astronema, Yellow, Ecliptor, and the Phantom Ranger. Sadly I have no pics pf this awesome series.

I will give Galaxy one thing: two delicious Pink Rangers.

>>4930963
Turbo and SPD cannot hold a candle to the problems that plagued Wild Force.

More production errors than season one of Mighty Morphin. Held an audition at McDonald's for actors. Terrible and inappropriate music. Made no sense in continuity. Constantly changed writers who never communicated with each other.

>>4930996
stupid whore, you forgot the Psycho Rangers! You deserve a beating!

I like the Dino Thunder theme song as much as the original.

I'm sorry.

>>4931005

Was that the season the the terrible rap theme song?

>>4930855


hey fuck you, >>4930880 is right. I'm going a little bit sentai-ish here... listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFreLSS_qQE RENKETSU GATTAI!!!


also, no power rangers samurai force. </oldnews>

I don't like how everyone always randomly has super powers in Power Rangers.

But other then that I like it well enough.

>>4931021
Mystic Force and Operation Overdrive had the rap songs.

>>4931031

>I don't like how everyone always randomly has super powers in Power Rangers.

What do you mean?

The only good things about the Turbo movie.

>>4930733
>>What Power Ranger team is the strongest?
I'm fairly certain the Zeo Rangers were the most powerful - the Zeo Crystal was described as the most powerful crystal in the universe, and in a universe full of magical, energy-filled crystals, that's saying something. Plus it gets more powerful as time goes on.

The Gold Ranger powers were so great that they were slowly KILLING Jason because his body couldn't handle the power - only a three-fold being like Trey could, so presumably he's three times more powerful than the other Zeos. Similarly, the Titanium Morpher almost killed Carter when he tried it, so it's safe to assume that they're more than the human body could handle, unless said human was raised by demons. Also, the Silver Ranger is described as "the most powerful Ranger in the universe", and the original White Ranger was capable of defeating several monsters in succession just using Saba.

TL,DR: the Zeo Rangers, and a handful of Sixth Rangers

>>4931055
Invisibility... Uh... just look at Dino Thunder or Operation Overdrive.

>>4931056
DEM TITS

>>4931056
We should totally make out.

Not reusing this suit, the main flaw of RPM

>>4931058

So the Zeo Rangers vs The Silver Ranger(In Space), The Titanium Ranger (LSR), The Quantum Ranger(Time Force), The Blue and Red Psycho Rangers(In Space), and The Phantom Ranger (Turbo/In Space).

Who would win?

>>4931056

>>4931031
>>4931055
The super powers are a Disney thing, because Disney felt that "superheroes need super powers!" The only Disney season that doesn't have super powers is RPM.

>>4931104
But then they gave the rangers additional super powers while in the suits.
I was really surprised by how good Dino Thunder was. It's what got me back into watching Power Rangers.

I really liked SPD.

I wasn't too bothered by Sam, so that wasn't a big deal for me. The main problem I had was the inconsistent relationships between the Rangers. They'd get all get along one episode, only for them to be knocking heads again in the next. There must've been at least four "learning the value of teamwork and how to get along with each other" episodes.

>>4931130
Yeah, I noticed that too. They were fun characters, but it seemed the writers didn't know how to plot out the characters' developmental arcs for the series as a whole.

>>4931107
Same here. I came for the Tommy, stayed for the Mesogog... now I like Conner, Kira, Ethan and Trent just as much as the original MMPR teens. And Zeltrax. Fucking hell, Zeltrax was badass...

>>4931130
SPD had one of the best casts in the series' history. Too bad the writers couldn't keep them consistent at all, and then would pull crap like having Jack become a selfish jackass in the penultimate episode.

>>4931363

I don't mind the idea of what they did with Jack, it's just that it could have been developed and explored better.

He never wanted to join SPD in the first place after all, he only relented when Z was in trouble and needed his help. Even though growing into the role and getting to like the team was part of his development, I could see him wanting to leave while helping people on a smaller, more local level like he was doing to begin after getting another taste of it.

If it was given some time and developed it would have been a good development and a satisfying conclusion to his story. However, all we got was "Oh hey pretty girl lemme help you hang on Doggy I'm fishin' got no time for that okay I'm leavin' SPD now".

RPM was awesome - it's been a while since I've seen any decent amounts of other series (I'm rewatching Zeo now though), so I can't conclusively say it's the best series, but it's certainly up there. If they don't adapt any more Sentai, at least the last new series will have been a good one.

Don't mind me, just being an awesome Kid ranger.

But really, I've never seen Turbo , what made him so awful?

>>4931472
I didn't really mind Justin in the Turbo movie, but I honestly can't remember anything of the series, since I haven't seen it since it was on TV here. I didn't have any problems with him at the time, but I have no idea what I'd think of him now.

>>4931472
Oh, I hate that kid.

>>4931472

ugh hes was a fag. at least have a cool kid do the part. I couldn't stand his hair. Prolly was juss hurtbutt that a fag like him played a ranger

>>4931472
they had to do "special" parts of episodes for him, and he took up screentime with "kid issues"

remember that instance of him being scolded for using his powers "for personal gain"? kid was falling from a damn tree, what was he supposed to do?

>>4931535
Yeah, the fucktarded-looking vintage '60s bowl haircut didn't help endear him to viewers. He was like a bona fide Cousin Oliver.

>>4931543
Yeah, but the part where he was tempted to just morph and beat the crap out of his bullies made up for it... honestly, that's something that a lot more Rangers would be tempted to do IRL.

>>4931543

>they had to do "special" parts of episodes for him, and he took up screentime with "kid issues"

Thats what his cameo in In Space was about too.

Favorite:Turbo
Least:ALIEN RANGURRS

>>4930855
fuck you SUPER TRAIN IS AWESOME

>>4932498

lol at Andros' SIEG HEIL

I always loved how Adam got fucked in the movies when it comes to new zords. First movie, he becomes the Frog Ranger. Second movie, the Minivan Ranger.

They can have as many teams as they want though, nothing will beat the original six.

I only ever watched MMPR

>>4932567

He actually brought that up yesterday (He was in town for a panel at our local 'con), about how he asked the director if he could complain about the Minivan like he did the Frog, but he got shot down.

>>4932567
He autographed my sister's PR movie DVD with that "I'm a frog..." line.

Time Force is my favorite. Fuck year, Quantum Ranger. Can't really think of a season I really disliked.

>>4932622
Same and if you can say anything about Power Rangers, it sure had one interesting end series with RPM.

UT SEET EYAHHHHH SEET SEET EYAH SEET EYAH

>>4932646
Unbelievable. You typed utter nonsense and yet when I audiolised it in my head it sounded exactly like Tommy's wacky karate noises.

>>4932646
Jose canseco can do that!

And Zeo had one epic OP.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua1LLqB7HGk

>>4932661

Remember when Lord Zedd made fun of Tommy for saying all that nonsense?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtcWAoG7Ts8

Im surpriced no one mentioned Lothor yet. He was an hilarious villain and a fresh change from the "ba ha ha, Im going to take over/destroy the world because Im evil" guys before him. To bad this didn't carry over for the crossover episode the next season. And Ninja Storm was decent overall I think, having much higher production value then the past series and I could be wrong, but wasn't this the first season with a longer ranger vs. ranger story in it.

I also have to mention the episode "Lost and found in translation" from Dino Thunder, a really nice touch and the first time they openly showed the heritage for the series in an episode I think.

>>4932854
"Lost and found in translation" blew my mind.

>>4932854
I have to say I really liked Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder. It go me interested into power rangers again when I started losing interest around the time PR In Space started. I had seen bits of Time force and Wild Force but they never interested me that much. But then the series after Dino Thunder all blew really hard on various levels.

>>4932904
I agree. I watched the original series (whatever season I don't remember, but probably the first) as a kid and then they didn't air anything more here in Sweden where I live. but then I got interested in seeing some of the newer things a few years ago and by pure luck I picked Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder. I was kind of surpriced at how high the production value was and the stories werent that bad either, being kids shows and all. I tried some series before that and some after, but they werent as impressive. I really wanted to like Wild Force for the awesome intro that was almost on par with Go go Power Rangers and for Forever Red, but it looked so cheap and the story felt really old.

>>4931130
I agree. SPD is probably in my top 5. It actually had a mature storyline for the "mentor", with a satisfying conclusion.

My least favorite is probably Operation Overdrive. That entire series* was just one long "Who gives a shit?".

*Note this excludes the two-parter "Once a Ranger" due to extreme levels of fanwankery.

>>4932904
>>4933104
You should watch RPM. Best season since the first Saban ones.

Power Rangers is so much better than Sentai. Eleven shows suck compared to how America makes them.

>>4933214
-15/10

>>4933236
It's the truth.

If Sentai was so good, why doesn't Toei market it better? It's because Sentai is inferior to Power Rangers. Saban and Disney made it more popular and well-known than the original Japanese versions.

>>4933330
I don't feel anyone should respond to this... but.

How do you know Sentai is not marketed well? Do you live in Japan?

>>4933330
Are you the same guy who was saying this stuff in the Sentai thread recently?

Anyway, there's no real market for foreign-language TV shows in America, and American media is more often exported than Japan, hence PR's worldwide prominence compared to Sentai; it's not a matter of quality (not that I've seen enough Sentai to comment either way.)

>>4933330
If PR is so popular, why is it cancelled?

>>4933214
>>4933330
Oh hey it's the troll from yesterday.

Your trolling still sucks bro.

>>4933350

I watched PR, not Sentai as a kid on TV and i don`t live in Japan. Or US.

>>4933350
Power Rangers is liked in Japan. You can't say the same for sentai overseas. Sure, the Brazilians and Filipinos might have had localized dubbing, but besides them, nobody knows about sentai.

LOL, the Japanese know that their shows CAN'T be distributed internationally because nobody wants to watch Asians.

Therefore, Power Rangers did the world a favor and removed Japanese culture and people. Nobody cares about that crap. It's a show about heroes in spandex outfits and collectible mecha that attract people. And everyone likes watching American-style shows and characters, so Power Rangers should supplant sentai. In fact, Toei should start making shows solely for Disney because they need that money.

>>4933370
That's because the Japanese are stupid not to work with Disney. Give it a year or so, they'll come crawling back and beg Disney to adapt sentai into Power Rangers.

>>4933366
It is a matter of quality. Eleven shows AND movies have to be remade for American audiences because not only do they improve the stories, they can market it globally.

>>4933371
Butthurt that your hero Burai won't be shown to American kiddies?

Tommy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>> Burai

The Japanese should start making series solely for the global community. Nobody wants to see Japanese people. They want to see people they can readily identify with like Caucasians, Latin Americans, and of African descent.

>>>4933375
>LOL, the Japanese know that their shows CAN'T be distributed internationally because nobody wants to watch Asians.
So it isn't about quality, then. You're contradicting yourself.

I find it funny how you guys don't talk much about LOST GALAXY.
The opening is really one of the best, just losing, maybe, to Mighty Morphin'

>>4933392
It's quality as well. I'm just pointing out reality. Nobody wants to watch Asian casts. And sentai plots don't relate to American and other foreign kids. Maybe for Elevens because they're weird and perverted, but Power Rangers can be shown to children around the world.

Your argument is a mess. Power Rangers is so much better, its known worldwide because "people dont wanna see asians and Toeis marketing sucks", two things WHICH HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH QUALITY. Shit, you even admit yourself to not having watched sentai.

>>4933403
Actually I have seen sentai. I've watched Fiveman, Zyuranger, Dairanger, and Kakuranger. They all suck balls.

Zyuranger especially because the plot was garbage (Dinosaur gods and kingdoms???) and the fact that the cast is piss-poor compared to Tommy, Jason, Kimberly, Trini, Billy, and Zack.

And Tommy didn't die like a loser like Burai. He just lost his powers and became the White Ranger.
Power Rangers: 1, Zyuranger: -10

And Mighty Morphin Power Rangers had a long-spanning run of several years. Sentai comes out with a new series every year that's not in the same continuity as the earlier ones. The Elevens even like Power Rangers more than the original sentai series it's based on.

Look, you people want to watch sentai, fine. But Power Rangers is better than your Nippon crap. Market that shit here and people will laugh.

>>4933419
But people laugh at Pr anyway.

Power Rangers? More like the Robotech of Sentai

>>4933427

I dunno, my little sisters surprisingly liked it very much for example. Can`t say if it happened if they aired the original show here.

>>4933427
They'd still watch it. Try to release a dub or sub of sentai in the US. Nobody would watch it.

>100 posts and 18 image
Now I'know why people are making fun of you , tokufag.

>>4933431
What's wrong with Robotech? It made Macross known in North and South America. And a lot of /m/ owes its introduction to anime from it.

Same thing with Power Rangers. And both series corrected the problems that the original Japanese programs had and made it appealing for non-Japanese audiences.

All that can be explained by the US not being used to dubbed live action, much less subs, and racism towards foreign casts. Its all marketing-related, not quality. You haven't even given a reason for it being better other than "I like the american cast so much more". Well, no shit, nostalgia glasses, so do most of us. You-re the only one biased by country of production here, not to mention being quite blatantly racist.

>>4933390
>Butthurt that your hero Burai won't be shown to American kiddies?
Not at all. Tommy and Burai are both cool, I haven't a reason to be butthurt.

>>4933451
>being quite blatantly racist
Get over yourselves. Just because I'm willing to voice my opinion on how screwed-up Japanese shows and people are doesn't mean that I'm the only one. You all have bias toward Japanese, stop acting all high and mighty.

Am I upsetting your rosy image of GLORIOUS NIPPON DESU?

And why the American casts are better? Because the male and female characters in Power Rangers are infinitely better than the Japanese. Are you really going to compare the MMPR cast to the Zyuranger, Dairanger, and especially Kakuranger casts?

That's right. They just don't compare. Power Rangers casting is better because the female characters aren't useless eyecandy and the male characters are kickass heroes. Can't say the same for the original Nipponese.

>>4933472

>>4933451
Here comes the circular argument. Things with foreign casts are remade for the US because they make it better. How is it better? Well, if it weren't, why didn't they bring the original, then?

>>4933466
Burai = cool? Does not compute.

LOL, how does some loser who decides to kill his brother and ally himself with the villains because he got butthurt that his sibling was adopted by their sovereign lord? And Tommy never died. He became the greatest badass Ranger in history.

>>4933475
>>4933472
I'd watch this but who would the villain be?

>>4933468
WE LIKE POWER RANGERS, YOU GODDAMN IDIOT. The thread is about them, if you didnt notice. You are the only biased one here.

>Just because I'm willing to voice my opinion on how screwed-up Japanese shows and people are
You have not given an opinion or reason for it beyond them being asian.

>And why the American casts are better? Because the male and female characters in Power Rangers are infinitely better than the Japanese.
>They are better because they are better
We are getting a class on debating skills here.

You know what else makes Power Rangers better than sentai? Forever Red. None of the other sentais are set in the same universe. With PR, we have an overarching continuity and we got to see all the past Red Rangers team-up and in action.

>>4933481
He was angry because his father was killed by that sovereign lord, and tried to kill Geki because said sovereign lord had taken Geki as his own because Burai and Geki's father had angered him. The madness sword Bandora gave him didn't help things.

And he died so a kid could be healed instead of him.

>>4933475

Amusing thing I noticed about White Out (and no, im not trying to make a joke) It's able to override any other taste in your mouth for about 4 or so seconds, and leave you with no aftertaste whatsoever. It really DOES "white out".


anyway, sorry for getting off topic, but i thought that bit of info would be useful to you /m/en.

>>4933468

Shinkenger cast > MMPR cast

That's just the truth.

MMPR came at a time when Martial Arts was all the rage with kids. Could they have dub Zyuranger and have it sell in America at that time? Sure, why not.

>>4933484

Lord Zed, of course.

>>4933494

Sentai is in the same continuity. How do you explain the team-ups every year?

Hey, look. A pic of a superior Forever Red.

>>4933519
This is acceptable.

>>4933496
Pssh, so he sacrificed himself for a kid? Big deal. Tommy became a legendary Ranger for several seasons. No comparison.
>>4933489
What can sentai possibly offer over Power Rangers? Violence? Big deal. Besides, the Japanese are crazy and they have a messed-up culture.

Sentai is quite boring half the time. Take away it's rudderless ultra-violent and perverse cliches, it'd just be the same as PR but with lazier music. Japanese shows always focus so much on bloody war-mongoring and bloodshed thinly disguised as "honorable and philosophical storytelling", where as PR focuses on something called MORALS and emphasizes that over the war-mongoring and "bloodshed" whilst not losing trace elements of it.

>>4933472
..Missing a Pink Ranger. However I cackled.

I watched an uhealthy amount of Power Rangers when I was a kid, MMPR, some of the Ninja Rangers, faded in and out of Turbo and stayed on for Space and Galaxy. Those made up the main ones that I liked.

>>4933529

You obviously didn't watch Go-Onger and Shinkenger... or actually any Sentai.

>>4933508
Yeah, whatever. Spoken like a true weaboo. I bet you if you show a million non-Japanese kids Shinkenger and MMPR, they'll choose MMPR.
>>4933521
Oh, this? Super Sentai vs Gaoranger. Please. It's not canon. It's just a movie that wanted to show older sentai casts.
Forever Red is superior because they actually showed ALL of the original Red actors, in and out of costume.

>>4933542
So, Forever Red is superior because...it shows the old casts? Which is exactly what you said about Gao vs. Super Sentai.

Cool trolling bro.

>>4931076
Dat Valve.

>>4933537
Yeah, I watched your precious glorious Nippon sentai. Guess what? It's shit.

If your sentai is OH SO MUCH BETTER, why aren't there more people outside of Japan that know about it?

>>4933546
Gaoranger vs Super Sentai didn't showcase EVERY single goddamn Red. Forever Red had every prior Red Ranger actor except for one dude who stopped acting. But besides, that, yeah, Forever Red is superior.

>>4933542

>million non-Japanese kids Shinkenger and MMPR, they'll choose MMPR.

So you are saying kids will choose an ancient, out of date show over a show based on Samurai and swords?
Yeah, it's not like American kids like anything Japanese...

>>4933542
Stop trying to monger hate bro. Some folks like Super Sentai, Some prefer Super Sentai.

Neither have any real need to get into a pissing contest on the matter.

Hey, if Power Rangers got uncancelled which Super Sentai Series do you think they'd grab footage from?

>>4933556

Forever Red is non-canon. It had so many continuity errors.
And Wild Force blows.

Look at Voltron. Way more popular and a better story than Golion. It's the same damned thing with Sentai vs PR. There's just no comparison.

>>4933548
see >>4933476
Though I doubt you'll even understand what's wrong with that.

What the hell happened here, I'm not going to say if Sentai is better, I like both equally.

But since this is Power Rangers thread, here is the must see ep of RPM, cuz at the end of the day, all you got to know is, I’m Scottish!

Am I the only one laughing his ass off at everyone who says MMPR > Sentai?

No Sentai = No MMPR

>>4933556
And your argument is "it's better because it shows more old cast"

Meh.

>>4933563

GoLion > Voltron

>>4933548
>Popularity = quality
-_-

Anyway, to get back on topic, I read recently that Bandai of America plans to release Shinkenger toys as their 2012 PR line. This probably doesn't mean that

This guy seems passionate enough not to be doing it for trolling, but rather he is genuinely stupid.

>>4933572
...there'll be a PR adaption of the series, but...

>>4933566
Everyone's Scottish!

Hey guys. Remember us?

Remember when we used to have fun? C'mon, put down that Red Ranger action figure and come watch us again.

Guys?

>>4933572

Usually I would care about BoA doing a Shinkenger toyline but the Figuarts coming soon...

>>4933558
They'd rather watch American actors than angst-ridden bishies and brain-dead dragon ladies.
>>4933560
Power Rangers will come back. The Elevens desperately want that Disney cash so they'll get on their knees and ask them to use sentai. And so far only Shinkenger is finished and Goseiger is running. If they use Shinkenger, no sweat, they'll just have to tweak it to suit international audiences and out comes a new PR season.

>>4933583
pics?

>>4933585

And these are the same kids that watch Yu-Gi-Oh and Bakugan and any other dubbed Anime?

DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO, your lack of marketing knowledge slays me

>>4933567
Nobody outside of you weaboos and Nipland knows or cares about Sentai. Without Saban and later Disney, Toei wouldn't get all the money from merchandising and royalties. Without PR, sentai would just be stuck in Japan and nobody would care about it.

>>4933572
Everything will be space bullshit, calling it now. Oh, and inb4 "THEY WON'T DO THAT," cause Saban did the same thing with Kakuranger and Alien Rangers, and Disney actually seems worse than Bandai.

>>4933529
>What can sentai possibly offer over Power Rangers? Violence? Big deal.
It is an action show, you know. So yeah, having better violence than PRs toned down, badly directed fights would make it superior for many people.

>>4933576
I dunno, he's using a fictional slur from a bad anime series to describe Japanese people. Pretty sure we're dealing with a troll here.

>>4933597
>Bandai
>suppose to be Saban
herp derp

>>4933581
I liked Bettleborgs. At least it was better than the other Power Rangers ripoff, the one with the knights.

>>4933600
Lots of newfags throw around memes they dont understand.

>>4933593
Animu is perfectly fine because it's dubbed in English instead of Japanese. And look at the way anime characters look, they're practically all white. Japanese people want to be white so they project their fantasies on paper and film.

Hence, that's why America kinds watched dubbed animu because it doesn't tell them about Japan and Japanese.

>>4933604
..You talking shit about Mystic Knights son?

>>4933600
This; and the certain condescending tone of his language put my troll sense on edge.

>>4933581
Now I've got the theme song stuck in my head.

>>4933610
Why, yes, I am. One of the worst shows I've ever seen. Who thought it was a good idea?

>>4933508
>dub Zyuranger and have it sell in America at that time
OH YOU! Keep dreaming. Maybe pigs will fly one day.

>>4933596
I'm not a weaboo, I just know shit. Actually, this would probably become far more popular if Saban/Disney never showed it? Why? Because then you wouldnt have to fight the Hate machine of fags like you.

>>4933626
You're just pissed that people outside of Japan (as in everybody else that matters) don't know about your sentai shit.

>>4933597
I was going to say they haven't made any big shifts like that, but then I remembered how they turned humorous Go-Onger into RPM set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, so...

Thinking about it, I actually hope they do something like that - it'd be a way to get around just how Japanese Shinkenger is.

Popularity, marketing, have nothing to do with quality. Sentai is just bough by a bigger company from a country with no culture of foreign shows. People outside of the US are used to dubbed and subbed lived action, and would like Sentai just as much, if not better than PR if we got it. We just dont.

>>4933635
This /m/an knows what he's talking about.
The only way people would watch Japanese people is if you mock them for the idiots they are.
Just like what they did with Dynaman:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi7DpNGZKao

You are now aware there will never be another season of Power Rangers.

>>4933633
see
>>4933366
>>4933476
They already adressed the shit you keep repeating, I like how those are the only posts you ignore.

>>4933636
There's no need for sentai when Power Rangers are around. They have the same outfits and vehicles so the kids could still buy the action figures and toys. The only difference is that there's no Japanese in the show. No big loss there.
>>4933642
The Japanese'll break. They need PR more than PR needs them.

>>4933646
>>4933366
>>4933476
LOL, like anyone would care to watch Orientals. I'm sorry weaboos, but nobody really cares about Asians in American shows for kids.

I'll rate the ones I've watched.
MMPR 1 - Good
MMPR 2 - Better
MMPR 3 - GODLY
Zeo - GODLY
Turbo - First 17 eps? Garbage. After that? Got good.
In Space - AWESOME
Lost Galaxy - Worse than Turbo. This literally might have been the worst season of PR ever.
Lightspeed Rescue - Awesome. The TrainZord was a bit lolwut but I liked the storylines.
Time Force - GODLY.

I've only watched three eps of Wild Force but all in all, it doesn't interest me enough to watch the rest of the season.
Disney Era PR can eat a fat dick.

>>4933633
I could give 2 shits less who cares about sentai and who doesnt, I'm not even really a fan of the series myself.

>>4933650
Umm... Sentai went on for years just fine without PR, and plenty of other stuff, like Kamen Rider, doesn't need an American adaption to survive. You're overestimating PR's importance.

>>4933659
Woah now. Galaxy was one of the best seasons hands down.

>>4933597
..Alien Rangers?

>>4933650
And toned down fights, and dumbed down story and dialogues, and sucky acting (try to tell me any of the disney era cast is good). Also can't say kill, can't even punch in the face, explosions have to happen 30 feet aways, and there has to be a slow mo scene every other minute.

>>4933663
Toei's been living on PR money for years. They're not just going to walk away from it. Toei needs PR because of all the merchandise that get's sold in the US, Europe, etc.

I watched episode 4 of Zeo earlier, and couldn't help but find it hilarious how the Megazord's heat shields are capable of protecting it while it's practically in the sun, and apparently the trip from Earth to the sun takes mere seconds. Of course, I'm sure they'll end up fighting some sort of fire-themed monster later anyway.

>>4933668
Because those Oriental savages and their shows are incompatible with American values and morals.

You really want a kid in America watching shows with this?

>>4933665
Best thing about LG was Karone. You know it's true.

>>4933657
Exactly. Thats why keep telling you idiot, you are agreeing with us. It getting remade says nothing about its quality, since the US remakes anything with a foreing cast. inb4 "it's so much better anyway".

>>4933678
And I suppose you boycott German products as well as making sure that no Red Russkie influence infects your good ole' fashioned American mindset as well as hating on the Redcoats.

Give me strength...

>>4933686
Difference is, they're all white and civilized.

>>4933678
You dumb yankees should stop expecting tv to educate your children.

>>4933689
Ok, who let the Nazi fag in?

>>4933678
I dont give a shit about your childrens education or your racism, we are just arguing which show is better.

>>4933668
>>4933678
>is pointed out everything PR does worse
>can't argue any of it, bur "sentai still sucks, because the cast is not white"
...

>>4933698
>>4933717
Gimme a break. Most of you would agree that Americanized adaptations of Japanese stuff are better.

>>4933721
No, not at all. Name one good thing that's better besides your apparent "Power Rangers"

>>4933732
Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs
Voltron
Robotech

>Arguing about things based on preferences

C'mon, I thought you guys were better than [a/.

>>4933732

NEARLY ALL-WHITE CAST AND BADASSES DUR HUR DERP

That's the best explanation you'll get from him.

>>4933747
Explain to me WHY the original Japanese are oh so good? Because if they were, wouldn't more people know about where Power Rangers came from? But they don't.

>>4933756
Its because people are stupid.

>>4933747
Plus, I have nothing against African or Hispanic American casting in Power Rangers. But Asians are comic relief at best. And don't tell me that they're martial arts masters. That's a joke.

>>4933721
No. You were listed a lot of things sentai does better, and you weren't even able to argue against them. A reasonable person would then understand why someone might prefer the other, even if he himself doesn't. You just keep repeating it sucks because the cast is asian. That doesn't make us weeaboos, we do like Power Rangers too. It just makes you racist.

>Gimme a break. Most of you would agree that Americanized adaptations of Japanese stuff are better.
All of the world but America got unedited DBZ and Saint Seiya. Most people agree that the US versions are shit.

>>4933756
You were given a load of things sentai does better here: >>4933668
You whole answer was "BUT THE CAST IS ASIAN". You need to understand not everyone is racist here, so you are gonna need a more compelling argument than that.

>Because if they were, wouldn't more people know about where Power Rangers came from?
Because the US exports more shows and we happened to get their version? Because you are an idiot who thinks popularity is a direct measure of quality?

>>4933756
>Explain to me WHY the original Japanese are oh so good? Because if they were, wouldn't more people know about where Power Rangers came from? But they don't.
So isn't the fact that they don't get interested enough in PR to learn about its origins PR's fault?

What the fuck is this? What's with all the Japan bashing posts on /m/?

Seriously, you don't like Japanese series, fine. Don't post here.

This thread confirms that subbed/dubbed toku in the US would fail because of bigoted douchebags like the obvious troll here.

Personally, I liked the original MMPR first and foremost. Jason and Tommy have always been my favorite Rangers. I wish Saban used the Dairanger costumes in MMPR season 2 though.

>>4933481
Burai was cool becuase he redeemed himself by kicking Monster ass and having the coolest Mech in all of Zyu.

>>4933756
Sentai is on the whole, better than Power Rangers is because themes of friendship, honor, self-improvement, and teamwork are stressed throughout sentai's 35 years of history.

And unlike American productions, sentai (especially in the 80's and early 90's) got away with pretty grimdark subject matter. In Flashman episode 1, the bad guys go on a killing spree against helpless civilians. And they're ENJOYING it.

Zyuranger near the end had an episode where the civilians got hit with a flesh-decaying nerve gas. Where does Power Rangers have anything close to that?

Super Sentai is a genre that combines comedy, drama, and action for Japanese children. But even older audiences can appreciate it's storyline and characters. I still remember Maskman and Dairanger very fondly.

And as for your racist diatribes against Japanese. What's your beef with them? Some Japanese dude take your girlfriend away from you? Sheesh, shut the fuck up.

>>4934701
Then japan got hit by sarin gas by the terrorist group who literally is like cobra, (they may have made a nuclear weapon) and no more grimdark!

See, the people who said 9-11 stoped this shit in USA forgot that Japan had this terrorism too.

Also, RPM was pretty grimdark, what with its robots casually murdering 90& the whole world, a kid being forced to make superweapons for a government, being denied sun because they don't want her to escape, the villians making family members fight against each other, turning the human race against each other.

See, personally the racist troll is annoying here because he can go eat a pile of shit, but I feel that the idea of this "Nihon Supremacy" is annoying at best, and harmful to the common peace and decency of /m/en at worst.

I find the idea of cheap grimdarkness for the sake of grimdarkness, to psudeoquote tomino, "Antisocial things, for when I was younger," and yes I personally feel it cheapens these shows. If they have to resort to ultraviolence it is a cheap way to be "serious". (The Burai matter, I'm feeling that that was cheap, I understand why the writers did that, but that was just the way they wrote about it, real low blow guys).

>Racist guy says Toei needs PR for money
>Ignores the Den-O Money Machine

>>4934701
ONE MORE THING

I find the concept of using early sentai to compare to the whole of the power rangers meta series unfair, because it is comparing eras that were never the same thing. It would be like comparing a show made in the 1960s for the 9 PM timeslot to a modern one, where standards for acceptable practices have changed quite largely. Japan for example has had internal standards changed, half of the shit the pre Zyuranger shows pulled wouldn't be allowed, and aren't, see that Ohranger. incident.

I'm not gonna say MMPR is much better than Super Sentai.

But Power Rangers did have Bulk & Skull and Ron Wasserman music.

>>4934772
Which is why Japan got away with that stuff in the 80's and early 90's before the sarin gas attacks. It nerfed Ohranger into the sentai with the worst ratings ever.

RPM was a last hurrah from Disney I felt. They didn't even want to adapt Go-Onger, but were forced due to contractual obligations with Toei.

I don't see the "Nihon Superior" trolls to be that bad. They're annoying as fuck, but let's be frank, this IS a board that caters to Japanese styles of science fiction and robots. People are bound to prefer the Japanese standard moreso than the American one.

I mean, I like Exo-Squad and Centurions just as much as Big O and Gun x Sword. Learn to enjoy both nations' style of animation and storytelling. Trolling about whose superior is what /co/ does. You cannot believe the immense faggotry that those hypocritical pompous neckbeards post about manga/anime while overglorifying their nearly 40-year-old comic franchises.

>>4934821
It didn't also help that Evangelion aired the same year as Ohranger and caused massive backlash from the Japanese PTA for its content.

>>4934851
We are getting Shinenranger in 2012 apparently, I guess they wanted a bit of break time so in case Japan sends another GoOnger they can stretch out a show or change it much more often.

Personally, I have seen both, and both have had their bombs (in my opinion) and their greats!

>>4934875
You really think Shinkenger can work? I mean, samurai were a feudal warrior class in pre-Meiji Japan for centuries. How are they going to explain the calligraphy brushes and the kanji on their helmets?

I think Disney should just work on Goseiger once it's finished. Shinkenger is too much trouble than it's worth.

Super Sentai has and never will create a villain as awesome as Lord Zedd.

Sadly, I stopped watching PR after Lost Galaxy. With no more cast members switching over to the next team, it lost a bit of it's charm. Keeping the cast each season, the music, the villains, Bulk and Skull and the fact I dislike Japanese storytelling for tokusatsu related materials outside of giant monster flicks is why I prefer Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers over any Super Sentai.

>>4934821
Well it just shows that Japanese were a lot more lax back then and didn't have to worry about bullshit like the Children's Television Act of 1990 from that castrating bitch, Peggy Charren.

Besides, Power Rangers didn't debut until 1993. Sentai was already an established genre from the 70's. Not Japan's fault that sentai was adapted into Power Rangers then instead of earlier. (We can all forget about the Dynaman parody dub.)

>>4934897

>>4934938
Yeah, those were the "Alien Rangers". Saban did a good job in filtering all the ninja references from Kakuranger. I mean, c'mon, most kids wouldn't even think that those latex costumes were supposed to represent ninjas.

>>4934924
Someone hasn't watched Flashman or Maskman. Watch those series and come back and tell /m/ there aren't awesome Japanese villains in sentai.

>>4934897
POWER RANGERS: SAMURAI SPIRITS

Kids love samurai and the sword toys.
>>4934935
we can all agree, Peggy Charren can die in a fire, because she set back American animation YEARS, and it is only thanks to the 90s generation and 80s generation reaching their 20s that it has recovered.

>>4934957
Peeked at the designs. They are too big to be practical for fighting. My guess is that their fighting abilities include swirling his arms around and shooting energy beams. At least Lord Zedd looks like he could jump in and kick ass if need be.

>>4934987
They're not meant to be fighters. The villains in Flashman and Maskman were devious scheming bastards who caused untold mistery on the sentai heroes and civilians. Watch those series and then come back with an opinion. Don't judge something unless you have a good understanding on what you're talking about.

>>4934983
I can't believe people listened to that self-righteous bitch. But how the hell did Ren and Stimpy or Rocko's Modern Life fall under the radar?

Meh, I just don't like the way Japanese culture is seen as this "exotic" thing for people to play yellowface. I mean, we're obviously going to see white bread actors and actresses play "samurai." Throw a token black, Latino, and maybe even an Asian, and we've got ourselves Planeteer team diversity.
But I shouldn't be surprised because we already had Ninja Storm and the whole "American Ninja" craze during the 80's pretty much cemented stuff like this.

>>4934996
>The villains in Flashman and Maskman were devious scheming bastards who caused untold mistery on the sentai heroes and civilians.

And Lord Zedd did the same thing. I'm not gonna watch two ancient sentai shows when I don't even like the newer ones because a weeaboo is pissed I dissed the almighty Nippon.

>>4935022
I'm not pissed nor am I a weaboo, but you're being a bit too presumptious with your assertions that "Super Sentai has and and never will create a villain as awesome as Lord Zedd."
You even admitted you haven't watched "ancient" sentai shows. You're experience with sentai is only based on recent stuff and your view's downright limited.

>>4934897
In jungle fury the morphers were sun glasses while in geki ranger they were magical gloves.

It isn't that hard to come up with a "magic pendant/cellphone" to use.

>>4935022

I agree that the newer ones are kind of meh.

However, I've got to point out that the late 80's and most of the 90's were perhaps the best time period for Super Sentai, especially in the department of props and costumes.

We're getting Shinkenger toys in 2012
NOT a PR adapt of Shinkenger

Favorite series was the one when I was a kid. Any other series anyone mentions that is not the first one you should be ashamed of yourselves. I mean really.

>>4935041
If those fucking sketcher superheroes commercials can get the own cartoon, shinkenger can get it's own PR adapt.
