I remember when Go-busters first started, there was a special Sentai magazine that had interviews with the Reds and Blues from Goranger and Shinkenger, and people pulled out of their bums that it meant that Go-busters was going to continue Gokai's celebration and bring back old people and it meant Tono was one of them.<br /><br />Matsuzaka pretty much took off right after Shinkenger, so it was known by most fans by Gokaiger that he wasn't going to come back. I liked that they brought Kaoru back, though. Even if Matsuzaka was an option, Kaoru's the more interesting choice to me since she was the real Shiba and she didn't get to appear in many episodes.Shougo B'Stardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461619937425923518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696720423221574873.post-86229851769924299162021-01-08T11:48:32.782-08:002021-01-08T11:48:32.782-08:00I regret the way I worded the entry about Atsuko K...I regret the way I worded the entry about Atsuko Kurusu.

(Someone like Kyoko from GoGoFive, for example.)<br /><br />Despite doing this post, I'm not even all that convinced we're going to be getting guest stars as rumored. I'm really thinking the parallel world stuff is going to be an excuse to do vague tributes without being tied down to having to get the same exact people back.

Interesting that you picked Deathryuger, the ONLY villain ranger among the list, to represent Kyoryuger. It would be very bold move for Toei to introduce villain ranger to represent the team; if I were to choose villain rangers, it would be Hana no Kunoichi (Kakuranger), which I still count as rangers! <br /><br />Hard to believe this year marks 45th anniversary for Sentai.<br />I know you haven't enjoy recent series, but I hope Zenkaiger do well, despite your gripe with people involved, since it would be real shame if Sentai doesn't reach 50, where Ultraman and Kamen Rider has achieved, so I don't want it to left behind.<br /><br />I hope for good luck and health for cast and crew.<br /><br />Looking forward to see what's coming for 2021.

(I also thought about people who pertain to each show. Some people have suggested Yukio Yamagata for Yellow, which made me think of Kenta Sato voicing Red.)<br /><br />I'm actually more interested in who they might get to play Isao, Mitsuko and Red's grandmother.

I feel like there was a period there where he was trying to distance himself from his old genre work, but maybe that's changed.

(red = Tyranno Ranger, yellow = Gao Yellow, pink = Magi Pink, blue = Bouken Blue). I know it's kinda unlikely, and I know we prefer the actors to appear as the original rangers, but what do you think?AlexXanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14033478952760973828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696720423221574873.post-9769020280192657042021-01-01T08:19:13.913-08:002021-01-01T08:19:13.913-08:00Kane Kosugi actually recently reprised his role as...Kane Kosugi actually recently reprised his role as Powered in the English dub for Ultra Galaxy Fight so, if he's willing to return to a hated role for a YouTube series, returning for Zenkaiger might not be so unlikely and I hope it does happen since Jiraiya is one of my favourite toku characters.<br /><br />I've seen barely any Sentai from the last two decades so I'm not sure what to expect from Zenkaiger but it looks like it could be OK imo. I like the designs on their own but they don't really feel like a team to me. I'm torn on most of them being robots. They could go down a similar route to Metalder but I'm worried they'll just make them comedic relief and focus on the main guy.<br /><br />It sucks to hear that about a legend like Kenji Ohba but I'm glad he was able to reprise his roles while he still could (even if I haven't seen any of the recent movies). I agree that it would be nice to see Dyna Pink return since Hagiwara is a pretty underappreciated actress and Tsuburaya cheated her out of a return as Yulian. adfstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03563582667534329633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696720423221574873.post-33255398456379609682021-01-01T02:21:22.015-08:002021-01-01T02:21:22.015-08:00I don't think producers would want to waste pa...I don't think producers would want to waste past Sentai actors on Shurikenger in an anniversary, when these actors can just appear as themselves to get more fans happy. Ninninger example is probably how Shurikenger gonna be treated by all future crossovers.<br />Though getting him to transform into actors who played Sentai villains before could be kind of cool, but I doubt anyone would go that route either.Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07204252102904519987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696720423221574873.post-81229842110982600612020-12-31T22:45:39.062-08:002020-12-31T22:45:39.062-08:00Also, don't forget about your nightmare in you...Also, don't forget about your nightmare in your press conference post.rw1997https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999305307322889885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696720423221574873.post-84962090621741656492020-12-31T16:17:07.955-08:002020-12-31T16:17:07.955-08:00In regards to your first comment: I stopped watchi...In regards to your first comment: I stopped watching Kiramager a dozen episodes in. While I'd like to catch up with it before the anniversary, I'm in no rush to, because I don't like it. It really sucked to catch up with Lupin v Pat and then trying to keep up with Ryusoulger as it aired -- I've lost patience with bad shows.<br /><br />I was on autopilot when talking about Time Red -- I had kept typing "So-and-so returned for Kyoryuger."

I was a little disappointed he didn't do a voiceover in Super Sentai Saikyou Battle, but Satomi Hirose and Keiichi Wada went to waste there, so no big deal.<br /><br />I like the Gouraiger, don't get me wrong, but I feel like a Shurikenger appearance could be fun -- if they had him constantly transforming into former Sentai actors in a show in which former Sentai actors appear.Shougo B'Stardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461619937425923518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696720423221574873.post-23249544980029416792020-12-31T14:20:10.906-08:002020-12-31T14:20:10.906-08:00TimeRed's actor appeared in Ryusoulger, not Ky...TimeRed's actor appeared in Ryusoulger, not Kyouryuger.rw1997https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999305307322889885noreply@blogger.com
