Sean Akizuki's Super Sentai Blog

I wouldn't be giving episode reviews these days. Expect me to REACT TO UPDATES. If you want updates then CHECK OUT sites like Tokusatsu News Network, UkiyaSeed, and JEFusion (I left guest writing it to pursue my own passion). Anyway, time for a bit of my random react! No. 1 Sentai GoZyuger introduces us to Megumi Osai -- another Universe Warrior. It's explained that the Universe Warriors partake in the power of the red rangers. The only true Super Sentai now are the Gozyugers. Yeah, it seems Gozyuger is some kind of finale-esque Super Sentai entry. I had that feeling when I was watching Mirai Sentai Timeranger and Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. Well, it also happened during Doubotsu Sentai Zyuohger,  which caused that line that still makes me chuckle, "The History of Super Sentai! It's over!" It was also because Shuriken Sentai Ninninger isn't all that good.  It's really easy to notice some references every now and then. The name Tega Sword sounds like MEGAZORD....

  Strange but true. I fall in love with older music when I heard some old school songs sung in new school entertainment. I remember hearing some old Chinese music while watching newer Chinese shows from either China or Taiwan. The same can be true with Japanese shows. I fell in love with the song that Maya sang in the bar of episode 5. I feel the whole song was filmed but was deleted due to time constraints. Yeah, talk about how deleted scenes are PLAIN INEVITABLE. The song came from the LONG-RUNNING series called G-Men 75. It's a long-running detective series in Japan that ran from May 24, 1975, to April 3, 1982 -- a total of 355 episodes! I'm certainly not too curious to watch it! The song "Omokage" was sung from episodes 1-55 and episodes 175-204. I don't like anything that runs too long. Why do you think I didn't bother watching Dragon Ball Super and I don't watch One Piece ? Maya Imamori plays the role of Sumino Ichikawa -- a DETECTIVE. The sad song a...

  Feeling old yet? Himitsu Sentai Goranger will turn 50 this Saturday, or reach its GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY . I heard that Goranger and Dengekitai JAKQ were retroactively added several times. Goranger and JAKQ both got into and out of the list of Super Sentai . Goranger's status was pretty much murky. I got most of my information from the Power Rangers Wiki -- which is subject to fan error every now and then! Now, it's time to look into the history of Goranger as to how it may have significantly shaken the list. Its shaky status in the 1980s I remember a strange 1980s song "Super Sentai Banbaraban" which mixed the medley of some classic Ishinomori shows with Super Sentai series from Goranger up to Dai Sentai Goggle V. Other shows added where the opening songs of  Android Kikaider , Daitetsujin 17 (which only lasted 35 episodes), and Ucchu Keiji Gavan . Feeling old yet? It added Goranger and JAKQ into the acknowledgement. Rakuten Mobile This is an interesting find. Choshins...
