So this is a thing that apparently exists.quote:The upcoming Power Rangers series is using our beloved Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger as a toy commercial for the twentieth anniversary that rightfully belongs to the original Japanese Super Sentai Series which is an iconic artform in Japan. Saban doesn't understand how much of a masterpiece Super Sentai is and has continued to create season after season of a show that talks down to its audience with bland characters instead of teaching them better and more realistic life lessons with sophisticated characters that are well loved and cared about. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger is going to be the next victim in this copy cat massacre. As fans we have a god given right to speak up and not let good art go to waste. Let the american people and Saban know that corruption has to stop even with good television shows.  Yeah have fun with that buddy.

He's right though, Sentai is not one big toy commercial. Now let me show you guys my collection of Ranger keys, Hidden Disks, Engine Souls, and Batteries...

I was with him in concept. On the whole, Sentai is much better at not talking down to the audience (and seems to have much better acting [but that could just be the language barrier masking bad acting]) than Power Rangers. But he completely lost me at calling Super Sentai an 'iconic artform' and 'great masterpiece', as well as going on about our 'god given right' to protest.

I think that is also a case by case basis, but then again I prefer Power Rangers just because I really like connecting stories and how they can build up to amazing things. See In Space for that. Mind after In Space that has largely dwindled, but I'm hoping it'll change in the future. And yeah, that petition is all kinds of hilarious.

All the Sentai shows take place in their own pocket universes (except when they don't, like teamup movies and Gokaiger), but the first 6 seasons of Power Rangers had a pretty good through-line narrative, despite rotating cast in and out.

It's just one huge waste of time really. Want to boycott a TV show? Just don't watch it, how simple is that? I don't even understand to logic behind this petition, how would Power Rangers going away benefit Sentai one bit?

I'm really curious how they're going to take Go Busters and Dancin' Dinos. Go Busters is just such an odd show in general, and PR adapting Parody Sentai in the past has lead to two very, titanically different things. Turbo, which is arguably one of the most godawful things ever produced Japanese or American or Chinese or whatever, and RPM which was loving fantastic. And that's without realizing/considering that they're almost definitely going to combine the two the same way they're combining Gosei and Gokaiger. It's just, what in the hell are we going to get here? The future of Power Rangers is a scary, bizarre, wonderful thing.

I really can't see how they could possibly combine Go-Busters and Kyoryuger. It makes even less sense than the Goesi-Gokai merge.

What Saban needs to do is make a Summer season and then Winter season to get through the back log. Seriously, one year for 20 episodes is dumb. Just crank them out.

Do we even know when Megaforce is coming back on the air? Its been, what 3 or 4 months since the last aired, we've been seeing all sorts of Super Megaforce stuff, and all I've seen is "Megaforce coming back soon"

This is assuming that Nick keeps them to the schedule they're forced to have. Which is also something to remember, Saban is not purposely only making 20 episodes a year-that's a mandate from Nick. If they changed channels you'd likely see a shift to the old style again. However I'd still lay money down that we'd get another hybrid season, purely so that we aren't three years behind anymore.

Is being three years behind a bad thing, though? It's probably easier on the people working on the show to have some breathing room to know what the whole thing is like so they don't get blindsided by some twist near the end that they have to suddenly take into account and I doubt the people who stick exclusively to PR would give a poo poo.

Well Saban owns a Saturday morning block on CW, so I assume that's where they are going as soon as possible.

Yeah, part of this mess is because Nick split up Samurai into two 20 episode seasons instead of the one 40 episode season that Saban had intended. This is also why Saban bought that Saturday block to program their shows however they want. They do like the added time between the Japanese versions and the American versions. This way they get to see the entire show before deciding what themes to push. That way you don't get things like In Space having shuttle Zords despite the Japanese version having nothing else to do with space. Or TimeRangers where they supposedly travel through time but they only do it once. Fezz fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Jul 19, 2013 |

Yeah, no, that's pretty unlikely, especially because Goseiger was a good series.  The reason for the split was more likely that Gokaiger didn't have enough usable content. A huge chunk of it is made up of nostalgic callbacks to shows or situations which didn't get an English release. By combining the two shows you get enough content to use the parts of Gokaiger you want to use but not the parts which are less workable.

If not, there's no reason they couldn't do GoBusters over two years and take full advantage of their budget over the two years. Especially because the source material would make it extremely easy thanks to the change from Messiah to Enter as the end boss. They could even do a special parody episode ala Dino Thunder using the Bestial Battery GoBusters special.  EDIT: Hey look at all those new posts.

That got them even further behind, I'll note. It's kind of lose-lose for Saban. He is only allowed 20 episodes of Power Rangers a year, and he is, at present, three years behind, roughly. Personally I'd be up for an extreme VR Troopers style multiSentai season just to burn through the backlog and get back on track. Otherwise the time gap will become more and more obvious as technology improves.

At the very least, they need to be allowed to do more than 20 episodes a season. 26 at a minimum, so you could do two 13 episode arcs. I agree that there's enough there for a full season based on Go-Busters, but I don't want to wait an extra year to get Power Rangers Dino Samba Ole!

I'm curious how much new suit footage they're shooting for Megaforce. Gokaiger was pretty heavy on gunplay and I don't know how well that's going to go over here. Same for Kyoryuger and the Gaburivolvers.

I'm just waiting to see how they're going to explain the black Megaforce ranger getting a green Pirate suit. That does assume they use the pirate stuff as upgrades, rather than outright replacing the gosei suits.

Scratch that, I'm most interested in watching the Gokaiger's mannerisms with the Megaforce teens' voices. Gokaiger was my first Sentai, and thus this will be the first time I see the adaptation after having seen the original. It's gonna be painful. Especially when we get Gokai Silver, because they cannot cast someone as cool as Gai. The only person that could come close would have been JDF because of his history with the team. At least they can use Gokai Silver's Gold Mode in Super Megaforece, since the 6th Rangers on the armor start with Zyu's Green.

Haruto just murders the energy of a scene any time he shows up. He's like a sentai villain only real, sucking the life from all things around him. Presumable after someone blows him up all the excitement and energy will return to Wizard as a series.
