Sean Akizuki's Super Sentai Blog

  The Super Sentai franchise underwent some turbulent times. Before Super Sentai - it was just "Sentai" with Himitsu Sentai Goranger and Dengekitai JAKQ . One series was so good it reached 84 episodes of overextension. The other was so bad it got rushed to only 35 episodes. I felt that JAKQ really can help me justify why I didn't like the Disney rushed Power Rangers seasons. Super Sentai nearly faced cancellation after the hiatus that happened after JAKQ which Battle Fever J became the standard bearer of a yearly Super Sentai. It was in the late 1980s when Kosoku Sentai Turboranger started to have its ratings decline (hence why the Nagare Bouma got introduced in hopes of fixing it) and the controversial Chikyu Sentai Fiveman meltdown. Fiveman was SO BAD for its time that it nearly killed the franchise. Winspector was doing good at that year though. Though, I still feel both series served as important lessons for making better series such as Gekisou Sentai Carranger (thoug

  It's obvious that I'm losing my Toku spark one way or another. I think I might want to exit it but at least leave a bit of a mark with some good memories of the franchise. I find myself not paying much attention to Zenkaiger when watching it. However, a new article from Henshin Grid discussed about the sci-fi influence with Power Rangers .

This will be a pretty exhaustive post which I want to write because it's been five years since Kyuranger aired. With that, I decided to celebrate its fifth anniversary today with this post!

The success spawned the rise of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi - all before Disney's &qu

Right now, I admit that I'm currently on hiatus from watching Zenkaiger . There's been a lot of stuff that happened and it's not been easy. Lately, I find myself watching more stuff on Netflix such as I'm currently watching  Love You at the End of the World starring Ryoma Takeuchi of Kamen Rider Drive . I even feel more distant with Super Sentai the older I get. It even happened to me in my 20s. Though, it hasn't stopped me from actually giving comments on the future of Super Sentai. I even think that the royalties involved with Super Sentai might not be justifiable. I mean, I really want to ask why the Philippines still airs Kamen Rider but not Super Sentai. I feel like Super Sentai is getting rebooted  every now and then. 1979 was when "Super" got introduced into the title and 1995 was the year when Goranger became part of the Super Sentai franchise. I. The cast of characters as revealed I decided to read through Orends Range to which gave me the latest
