Sean Akizuki's Super Sentai Blog

Well, I'm back with my debate with Shogo B'Stard -- this time he presents his entry called Time for Jen's Revenge . I decided to present my own version called "Time For Yuuri's Revenge" which actually presented two crucial differences -- Jen's trauma was a more recent (ex. losing Alex who she was about to marry) one while Yuuri's trauma itself has been there since childhood. There's a pretty interesting scene of Jen training which we don't see Yuuri doing in Timeranger. We also saw Jen actually fight Steelix out of suit all the while in Timeranger -- Yuuri was about to become a long range assassin. I guess all the badass moments Jen was given was made to cover up for plots that could have been inappropriate for Power Rangers. Yup, no one can deny Timeranger's brutality is really sky high -- which serves as a shallow reason for me to have my favoritism for the series. I guess the whole training scene Jen has is her still trying to cop...

Well it's time for a crazy nostalgia for last year's Super Sentai and I decided to do a crazy post yet again. If there's one thing that I can't get over is that I've actually said that Lucky is Lone Starr in red spandex . You can go ahead and think I'm actually watching too much Spaceballs though I haven't seen the short-lived Spaceballs cartoon. But I'm not going to stop with Lucky as I want to put Garu as Barf -- even if Barf is an anthropomorphic dog and Garu is an anthropomorphic wolf. I couldn't help but notice that series of events make me want to think about the friendship that these two managed to develop. At first, I thought about how they met and how they became partners. What I wanted to notice (at first) was how Lucky is what I'd call a really idiotic fellow who's the main character -- that would remind me of Lone Starr from the parody movie called Spaceballs. Lone Starr is a hapless, idiotic protagonist who just goes around w...

I remembered some time ago when I wrote about Timeranger as a complex battle with fate  -- love them or hate 'em -- I'd like to write about the Asami Family in Timeranger! Spoilers ahead so read at your own risk! I thought about casting decisions and everything. Fujita Okamoto was known for playing as the Turborangers' mentor Dr. Dazai. But here? He's the super cold Wataru Asami! I thought about the first few episodes that would explain why Tatsuya can be such a douche -- something that may have been amplified in Kamen Rider Ryuki's Shinji. So how does it work? Wataru once tried to escape the Asami Ship but ended up coming back in the end -- which was revealed in the episode when he got into critical condition. I dunno -- there were many times I really wanted to beat up Wataru in more than one occasion. I know Tatsuya can be bull-headed at times -- but we know where he gets it from -- his father. I think it's crazy how Mrs. Asami can endure her husband...

Shogo B'Stard has begun his latest Time Force related post called " Time For A Blue Streak " and I thought of bringing up one area in Timeranger where I'm mixed -- it's the whole story of Ayase suffering from the Osiris Syndrome. Okay, just a warning -- there'll be spoilers ahead so don't read it unless you don't mind getting spoiled! Anyway, let's continue if you don't mind the spoilers. Personally, I'm somewhat a fan of sickness drama -- call me sicko or whatever but seldom -- I tend to watch some Taiwanese or Korean TV drama where people have a terminal illness such as heart illness (in Lavender) or the common leukemia sickness in K-Drama. In the case of Timeranger, we've got one terminally sick member called Ayase -- and he's got that incurable disease that resulted from a magnetic radiation disease from space. It exists in that space age era which can lead to a serious cardiac arrest. Ayase had an interesting plot with the ...

Bonjour my readers! Well il's le time to enter into my obviously fake French mode again as nous (we) have another weekly review of Lupinranger vs. Patranger review. Cette week, nous get a look at a bit of lesson of le week for Kairi. Let's start, shall nou?  Le episode starts with Detective Zenigata ahem Keiichiro out on a walk where he meets Zamigo Delma -- le Gangler who caused le loved ones of le Lupinrangers to die out. He doesn't suspect a thing yet as he has no idea yet of what's going on. Meanwhile, at Le Bistrot Jurer, le Lupinrangers discover that celebrity designer Emma Gordini (acted by half-French, half-Japanese actress Ota Midori Laurence -- she does look familiar) is coming to town with her pendant. It does look like a part of Le Lupin Collection. Le whole incident has le Ganglers involved wanting le pendant. I admit, la's some really cool action involved. I love how le Lupinrangers and Patrangers are always at each others' thr...

Back then, I was just relying on various opinions on others or just read summaries, I pretended to be an expert in Tokusatsu by just doing so -- it led to me writing something that's an old shame by now! I just remembered how some time ago -- I read some extensive Timeranger summaries then started watching some now-taken down, super-bad quality videos with bad subs on Youtube. Later, I watched it when TV-Nihon and Over-Time raced towards time to finish it -- which Over-Time won't get it because Shout! Factory is releasing Timeranger on DVD soon this year. Now it's time to think about it that while Shogo is doing some Time Force related posts  -- I would like to confess that I'm actually guilty of extreme favoritism for Timeranger. The series just blew my mind off with the whole idea that  fate is the main villain of the series . Here's the reality. I tend to get defensive (on the inside) whenever somebody states that they personally find Time Force better than T...

Cette week's episode of Lupinranger vs. Patranger is kind of a thriller or not. Le last week's episode , Tsukasa has suspected that le three phantom thieves are indeed le Lupinrangers. Now it's time for le global police to try and confirm leur suspicion.  At le Global Police headquarters, le Patrangers and leur chief Commissioner Hilltop are discussing the possibility cette le three Le Bistrot Jurer employees are indeed le Lupinrangers. Sakuya refuses to believe il (it) because he has a crush on Umika.  Work seems to go on at the Le Bistrot Jurer mais (but)... Yup, Tsukasa uses her instincts and slowly investigates everything. Sakuya still refuses to believe (at cette point) that Umika is Lupin Yellow. Meanwhile, Detective Zenigata ahem Keiichiro moves out. He suspects cette Kairi is Lupin Red. However, cette doesn't stand too well as his suspicious are yet to be proven. At le restaurant, le Lupinrangers are discussing about leur past about how i...
