Sean Akizuki's Super Sentai Blog

CBR.com has an article on the eight harsh realities of being a Power Ranger . These are pretty much carried over because there are also harsh realities with being a Sentai Ranger too. Yes, I prefer to use the term RANGER over WARRIOR even if I dislike Power Rangers . So, I decided to make my own version which can be easily observed. Some Super Sentai teams didn't get trained before fighting the bad guys I wonder what in the world is the logic with choosing novices who haven't learned to fight just yet? It may be, "Don't question logic and just enjoy the show." However, there's got to be a HEALTHY MIX of suspension of disbelief and logical parts. Sure, maybe it's best we ignore how Japan keeps getting rebuilt EVERY WEEK but we need to think about the vulnerability of people. A good example is how Goggle V chose five random civilians to fight Deathdark. Sure, they had their qualifications BUT seriously? Shouldn't they get training before fitting the more...

I may not like the Power Rangers franchise but I felt that the shows have common "screw logic" situations. So, I decided to write this post about the harsh realities while watching Super Sentai . Having watched a lot of old-school entries and new-school entries (and some older Super Sentai series just get dropped off due to generation gaps) means I could observe it. I think these are realities that Super Sentai fans really need to face. The inspiration for this post is based on CBR's " Ten Harsh Realities of Watching Power Rangers ".  T he tendency to have an uneven distribution of development in some seasons There's really the truth that the Red Ranger is the star of the show , right?

I think Maskman (even if it's a favorite of mine) tends to focus TOO MUCH on Takeru in terms of moving the plot. Sure, we ...

I haven't watched all Sentai series from start to end. But here are those Super Sentai series I've watched from start to end in chronological order and I admit, I was all the time pretending to be a know it all until I realized I needed to be just myself to be a true fan plus these are the only series I've watched from start to end, the rest is just reading here and viewing here and there: Chikyu Sentai Fiveman This was the first series I saw its ending, which I thought I got boggled to why MMPR kept stretching and Sentai has a definite end back then. For me, this series is a guilty pleasure. I know it's Soda's lower series but I still find myself enjoying this otherwise awkward series. However I'm willing to see it in Japanese with valid subs but so far, Fiveman's Tagalog dub was better. As for the finale, it was pretty rushed, I felt like WTF Vulgyre was only added into the finale arc and no hints in between to his identity, Chevalier was just as ...
