Sean Akizuki's Super Sentai Blog

Well, sorry really if I'm not giving Zenkaiger updates because of personal stuff. I'm watching Zenkaiger but I'm doing it at my own pace. Heck, I'm watching some new stuff in Netflix and there's also personal stuff to take care off! I do feel the need to watch it at my own pace or maybe I'll soon drop it. I only react to updates - NOT GIVE THEM!  So, I thought about what Nihon Hero revealed about an age-restricted spin-off film . Granted, actress Nashiko Momotsuki appeared in GARO VERSUS ROAD which isn't a movie for children. I guess it's only normal to have an age-restricted film, right? The age restriction also made me think SOME bold stars did star in Super Sentai. For example, both  Turboranger  and  Carranger  had a bold star namely Kanako Kishi (Jarmin) and Rika Nanase (Zonette). I wonder if Toei really knows what they're doing in allowing such actresses to be starring in what should be a kiddie show?  The plot will also involve older alumni r...

  It's no question that Toei Ltd. had created a lot of childhood. For Asia, they were responsible for the creation of Kamen Rider, Super Sentai , and some discontinued franchises like Metal Hero and the Super Robot Anime . For the West, they provided animation by their studios for Hasbro (such as for  G.I.Joe  and  The Transformers ), World Events Productions (localizing  Golion  and  Dairugger XV  into the  Voltron  franchise), or the rise of the Power Rangers franchise via Saban (which ironically, it's now held by Hasbro after Saban temporarily regained the rights from Disney). Though, it seems I'd like to say a lot of companies today are husks of their former selves. Disney really isn't the same Disney I grew up with or the Disney my parents grew up with. Nickelodeon just produces more garbage these days causing Butch Hartman to leave. Saban's return to Power Rangers made the franchise worse than Disney's. I wonder if Toei Ltd....

  I was thinking about the record of low Super Sentai toy sales. One such show that had it coming was Shuriken Sentai Ninninger - a show that was SOOOOOO BAD that it took the horridness of Power Rangers Ninja Steel to "bail" it out! Now, I was thinking about Bandai Namco's record for this year  which really makes you think about it. Kamen Rider is somewhat "still going strong" for a reason that it beats both Ultraman and Kamen Rider. I confess, I haven't been watching Ultraman and my preferences have slowly migrated to South Korea while I still love Japanese products. A record of total toy sales which would show that Ucchu Sentai Kyuranger had better toy sales than Kaito Sentai Lupinranger vs. Keisatsu Sentai Patranger . I speculated it based on the economies of scale that perhaps, Kyuranger toys were doing much better so there was a surplus. Some toy buyers probably bought the Kyuranger toys a year later while Lupinranger vs. Patranger was airing that same ...
