PurplieNurplie posted:So for someone who's interest in this genre was mainly fueled by watching Power Rangers as a kid (aka really only being exposed to the Western side of these shows,) what would be a good place to start for getting into this stuff? I won't say it looks impenetrable, but it's definitely dense, and something that would be hard to get a good foothold in without somewhere to start, at least.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:If I was a little girl, or creepier, I'd check out Precure. It's explosions are more colorful, but it seems like its got the heart. PreCure is mostly a good show that follows the Rider/Sentai formula and is most of the time aimed at girls and not creepers. DokiDoki has had some entertaining monsters so far, but has some really weird characters (like the baby and shop owner) and the main PreCure's stock attack is kind of lame. The previous season Smile was kind of slow to start in that it took a while to introduce every character, like Fourze, but it ended up being a really good show with some amazing episodes later on. The series I got into PreCure with was HeartCatch, which sticks some of the general PreCure conventions on its side with the personalities of the main characters. Honestly before I figured that PreCure was a magical girl show like Nanoha, which I couldn't get through, which was way more focused on a male audience. PreCure has little to none of that and is just toku-style fun, just animated and with more hearts and sparkles.

If you want an amazing 80s action series, Bioman is a good bet. Kung fu related? Maskman. Big fun adventure that's the second longest in the franchise? Changeman. Serious but fun but pretty grim? Liveman. Dear God Liveman. ....so most/all of the Super Sentai I like was made in the 80s, what of it?

Maskman and Bioman are currently being subbed by GUIS, which gives them a high chance of actually finishing, though Bioman is coming out at a slower pace then Maskman (And so far Maskman is far better)

I figured that before jumping into Gokaiger, I'd check out the sentai version of my favorite Power Rangers, RPM. Is Go-Onger anything like RPM in tone or plot?

I've not watched much of Go-Onger, but from what I understand, its a lot more lighthearted than RPM ended up being. (Not that RPM's "darkness" was particularly deep, but it did at least attempt to be a bit more serious than your average Power Rangers season. But seriously, watch Gokaiger, its great in that I didn't find many (if any at all) truly bad episodes in the mix.

Wasn't Go-Onger stupid as poo poo on purpose? I remember someone talking about Sentai being almost dead by that point, and it being a "gently caress it" series that actually ended up reviving the franchise. I wanted to watch it a while back but I don't remember there being subtitles or I gave up in favor of more modern Sentais. VVV Oh yes I confused them. Then it is Carranger the one I wanted to watch I guess. Markovnikov fucked around with this message at 03:45 on Apr 2, 2013 |

I'm pretty sure Go-onger was part of the same rating slide that's affected Sentai ever since they thought they could run it against pokemon and not get murdered.

RPM has a grimdark background but it's really a show making fun of the Power Rangers tropes and actually uses some to their advantage (I.E. the pose explosions used as a weapon, questioning why they have to yell out "RPM, GET IN GEAR" etc.) The actors are also really great, and it would be my favorite PR of all time if they didn't pick such a horrible opening theme. I mean who rejects https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddrhqFrj-Uk and instead goes "Yeah, THIS is so much better, I will put my stamp on this" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5uBvJgNa4s

That rejected theme is kind of lame, but it's still better than the completely forgettable one that ended up with. The actual theme is way too "extreme" for its own good and doesn't even have lyrics.

Rei_ posted:That's like in one episode. At the very least, they acknowledge it. They also question why the zords have eyes and such on them (singe they were invented and built rather than being beings from another universe) and they also use the Go-Onger van for a few episodes.

Gokaiger is a wonderful show to start watching Sentai with, as it gives a taste of everything that's come before it while still maintaining a good story that's the series' own. Two things that Kamen Rider Decade (The equivalent show that used the powers of the previous series) failed on. The current Sentai show Kyoruger is really fun and goofy and so far there hasn't been a whole lot to complain about. The current Kamen Rider show Wizard is also fairly heavy on the goofy fun, but I feel it kind of lagged a little before the secondary rider shows up and absolutely steals the show with his antics.

The official one sounds like it's trying to emulate the earlier Power Rangers themes since those had more of a harder vibe compared to the fan made one. Yes it's still an incoherent pile but it's closer to the older themes than the other one.
