So, I just bought Season One Volume One.<br /><br />I don't know if I see the connection between Trini and Mika, though. Mika was supposed to be tough and rebellious -- she never would have been like "Nanbara! You're too high!!!!!!!!!!" :PShougo B'Stardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461619937425923518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696720423221574873.post-36638239859386409952013-01-04T23:43:55.856-08:002013-01-04T23:43:55.856-08:00Here are some of my thoughts on the matter.

When Rin Takanashi arrived in Shinkenger, I was remembered of my Kimberly fanboyism. Crazy.<br /><br />2.) Power Rangers Time Force is a decent season though I would really compare Jen to Mai in Changeman than to Yuri. Yuri imo is still good herself in some way. Just can't really compare them both. I do have some issues with Ryuya vs. Alex- Alex was more tolerable than Ryuya was. Ryuya, seriously he's pathetic. Those elements make Time Force a good season as it doesn't copy/paste everything from Power Rangers and Ransik's backstory was also good. Sadly, PR bashers tend to hit even the good seasons.<br /><br />3.) I do blame U.S. TV standards to why Power Rangers tend to suck at times. <br /><br />4.) Go-onger felt to me like MMPR in some ways- some bad acting and corny humor. <br /><br />5.) For MMPR I had mixed feelings on it. First season was good, to be honest I wish it ended like that but that overextension came and ruined it. IMO Lord Zedd wasn't helping things out either, he wasn't for me that competent and his marriage with Rita may have made him more dangerous but, still I felt MMPR was a show that went downhill due to overextension. MMPR for me also had the one thing Bioman failed- Trini for me was what if Mika stayed for a whole season.Sean Akizukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004289668366730936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696720423221574873.post-78995665276064056872013-01-04T23:24:23.156-08:002013-01-04T23:24:23.156-08:00Speaking of Power Rangers RPM call me crazy but I ...Speaking of Power Rangers RPM call me crazy but I don't like that show as much as I don't like Gobusters.

Very "sentai-like" not as in G0-onger but amazing writing, depth of character development, and a PR first and only, a character even DIES on film in one episode, Id say better than Time Force! May I ask you something I'm dying to know- as my obsession with 80s and 90s Sentai continues - Id love to know if you can tell me anything about the costuming? For instance in Changeman Tsurugi suit outfit and Sayaka's white boots and mini skirt seem to be very fashionable for the time period, maybe "designer"? but then in some seasons like Jetman and Fiveman both red rangers wear brand names and like you mentioned in Liveman the Budweiser jacket. Do these brands contribute to finance the actual production of the particular show? Id love to know anything you can tell me about the civilian clothing :)Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497494680684144156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696720423221574873.post-75300465988688964262012-11-26T14:55:23.545-08:002012-11-26T14:55:23.545-08:00I actually didn't watch any of RPM -- I usuall...I actually didn't watch any of RPM -- I usually watch at least the first episode of a new PR to see what they do with the Sentai, but I guess I hated Go-onger so much that I just didn't want to put up with their ugly outfits and mecha any longer than their actual show. :P<br /><br />People will tell me that RPM was good, but I couldn't stand what Disney was doing with PR when they had it, so...Shougo B'Stardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461619937425923518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696720423221574873.post-55711827477293681002012-11-25T21:04:59.591-08:002012-11-25T21:04:59.591-08:00Shougo I'm curious to hear what you thought of...Shougo I'm curious to hear what you thought of or if you watched Power Rangers RPM??Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497494680684144156noreply@blogger.com
