Sean Akizuki's Super Sentai Blog

In Super Sentai, there were some monsters that made people huge eaters and here they are: Tran before becoming Tranza used Ant Bazooka's ants to make people gluttonous to which they even ate live animals out of hunger.  That was a truly disturbing episode indeed.  Kaori was one of his victims but fortunately she overcame it. Gakitsuki took over Sekai's mouth, making him eat uncontrollably. Pig Nejire through his "diet crepes" made people eat uncontrollably among his known victims were Miku and also Kenta's mother.  He was quite funny if you ask me with that theme song of his! Sunasusori was an Ayakashi who when spreading some evil sand, caused people to go hungry and thirsty at extreme rates.

Here's a fun photo I found of teh Maskmen eating sushi.  Yum.  And I so wanna eat with them too.  Hee hee.  I hope I can find nice new articles to write about.  Real life situations are slowing my blogging down.

I just read from Rising Sun Tokusatsu this article and I wish you can all share your thoughts: Source:  http://risingsuntokusatsu.com/2012/08/26/ratings-breakdown-kids-just-dont-like-go-busters/ Up ahead are my musing over Go-Busters and its ratings – not just its overall ratings, but how it’s doing with kids. (hint: it’s not good) Lately, there has been an increased discussion over ratings and whether or not they really matter to tokusatsu. I’ve always been of the mind that they do and that people can be a little too quick to write them off, but they’re a necessity. Why? You need to know who your audience is and whether or not your show is doing well with the intended audiences. There are two kinds of ratings, the bare rating that gives you the rating of the episode and the demographic ratings. Demographic ratings split the viewing audience into groups based on age, the group Sentai is aimed at is kids, obviously. By looking at demographic numbers, you can see which show...

"One!  Two!  Three!  Four!  Five!  Chodenshi Bioman!"  Well here's the roster of Bioman's roster (and sadly we'll never know what happened to Yuki Yajima as Sumiko Tanaka is here in her place to entertain us) in full bringing back childhood memories.  So what are you waiting for, "BIOMAN!" and remember now they fought against Gear and how the series inspired other Super Sentai series in the future. :)

In Super Sentai, there were times that a ranger would befriend a monster and here they are... Hikaru Katsuragi befriended the New Empire Gear's mechanical creation called Brain, who was the brain of Anchor Kans.  By teaching Brain about friendship, her efforts caused Brain to save the Biomen from sudden destruction at the cost of Brain's life, causing much hurt in the process for her. Daichi Yamagata befriended Sumo Bouma after he defeated the monster in battle.  The friendship disgusted the hate loving Zimba who killed Sumo Bouma, made the monster go feral and fight the Turborangers in giant mode.  Daichi felt sad for Sumo Bouma after they won the giant robot sumo battle with him piloting the Turbo Robo. Youhei Hama befriend Chime Bouma.  Their friendship was put to the test when Chime Bouma who wanted to be peaceful, was bribed by Jarmin concerning her tribesmen that she will kill them if she refuses to kill the Turborangers.  It was a pretty sad e...

Well for Super Sentai while some rangers are "pretty standard" but here are some I just enjoyed viewing their development for some reasons... Jun Yabuki/Yellow Four 2- While treated as a "shadow" to Mika Koizumi due to sudden replacement but her development was really well-written.  While starting off as a pretty childish character, she matures throughout the series evidenced by her change in outfit and her chemistry with Shiro Gou.  I find her whole episode of choosing archery and being a Bioman to be where her development kicked off and made her a fully shaped Bioman. Takeru/Red Mask- Well I just thought that his love story with Ial was an interesting backstory and seeing how it could cloud his judgment proved he was simply human.  With love as his motivation, then again forbidden love if that's what Igam calls it.  I thought his rivalries with Igam and Kiros were pretty well-written arcs especially with Ial involved- Igam doesn't approve of the re...

Well Maskman was my childhood Super Sentai and I'd like to write on the Filipino dub differences.  Here are they: The names of the Maskmen in the Filipino dub are Michael Joe (Takeru/Red Mask), Leonard (Kenta/Black Mask), Adrian (Akira/Blue Mask), Eloisa (Haruka/Yellow Mask) and Mary Rose (Momoko/Pink Mask). The name of Sanjoru Sugata was changed to Samuel Sugata as well.  To remain consistent, surface world dwellers were given English names as well. The Great Five's equipment had some name changes.  The Photon Riser Sword was called "Mega Laser Blade" with its finisher renamed from "Aura Final Burst" to "Victory Blow" and the Five Shield was renamed to "Bio Shield". Now for the bad guys there were some few changes.  The name of Prince Igam was changed to Princess Igamu, the name of Baraba was changed to Dargan, the name of Oyobur was changed to Vulco and the name of Anagbas was changed to Arabus.  What I find weird is how the...
