My Thoughts On The Donbrothers' End Game

Image
 Finally, it's time to wrap things up! I would admit that I didn't really enjoy Kikou Sentai Zenkaiger as an anniversary season. Is it me or does Junko Komura actually suck with anniversaries ? I feel that Komura's writing of Doubotsu Sentai Zyuohger could've made it nearly Power Rangers Megaforce 2.0 - pretty girls in a bad show! Still, Zyuohger still had a more solid plot   than Megaforce . Avatar Sentai Donbrothers was enjoyable though I was worried about Toshiki Inoue. Yes, Inoue (and no, not actor Norimasa Fuke) did appear in the finale in a cameo. Inoue did get permission to make a cameo in Kamen Rider Faiz but strangely never did in other entries where he was the head writer. Heck, I still wish that Yasuko Kobayashi made a cameo in Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters' finale after a rewatch! Note: Most of the photos were taken from Dryed Mangoez. I could draw some comparisons right now. Donbrothers is pretty much a Lighter and Softer season in contrast to how I used to

Crazy Nostalgic Post: My Nightmare In Spandex Last 2013...

It's really a crude joke that I'm using Jason Vorhees from Friday the 13th on this post. However, I feel that this crude joke might address my ILL FEELINGS. It's known (by now) that I don't like Power Rangers . It's also known (by now) that I dislike certain Super Sentai seasons when they're just bad for me. I can go ahead and blab at how much I think Super Sentai is better than the US-licensed localization (personal preference ONLY) then blab that some of its entries are PLAIN HORRID. I'd recall 2013 was indeed that spandex nightmare. It's two shows that really showed what I'd call extra moments of cringe. Sure, one of them is better than the other but I've got the freedom to dump them both.  That huge anniversary blunder that's Power Rangers Megaforce  If there's any Power Rangers season that defines what dragged it down - THIS IS IT! The return of Haim Saban simply relied on Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers nostalgia than seeking new

Finally: The Cast Of Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger

It's time for the Valentine's Day reveal. I was afraid I couldn't write anything. Now, this is the time when it's time for the cast reveal. I did remember the excitement I had when Kikou Sentai Zenkaiger presented a very atypical team. Right now, I can't wait to see how Avatar Sentai Donbrothers will end its very unorthodox team with CGI. Now, it's back to regular morphing. When I heard about royalty - I felt like that Zenkaiger's formula could be reused with one human member and four monsters to serve the prince. Instead, it's back to how things are. In this case, it looks like a mixed bag. I did write about how Toei Ltd. may have written unofficial sequels for Saban's shows . I still want to call Kamen Rider Decade  the unofficial sequel of Saban's Mashed Rider . I still feel Kamen Rider Saber seemed like a continuation of the Knights of Tir Na Nog which only tried to ride on the hype of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: The Warrior Pr

How A Power Rangers Fan May Navigate Super Sentai

  Well, the 30th anniversary of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers  is on the way, right? Well, I'd say that 1993 was the champion year for Toei's bank account . It was that time when Toei Ltd. gave the green light to Saban Entertainment to launch Mighty Morphin' into America and the world. Yes, the international market though I still find it funny how Malaysia almost banned the show for STUPID REASONS. Sure, I dislike Power Rangers but morphin ain't morphine meaning the DRUG. Super Sentai did have a few episodes where drug use was a plot. With that in mind, think of how Shout! Factory DVDs are now back on track with Hasbro. Hopefully, it can be easily available especially in Asian countries. Pretty much, I still believe that if it wasn't for Power Rangers then Toei Ltd. wouldn't have hit the American market. So, the blame isn't solely on Saban's hands but also on Toei's hands as well. Yes, I'm going to blame Toei as well. That's why I refuse
