There's always such a time when a franchise can go "HUH?!" I still think Tensou Sentai Goseiger is a franchise that wasn't easily well-received. Some may have called it bland and boring during its first broadcast in 2010. Just because an entry didn't do well during its year of airing doesn't mean that history won't vindicate it . I think Goseiger itself is a series vindicated by history. Personally, I found this series bland and boring (at first) until one big disaster occurred. But before talking about that legendary mega-disaster that's Power Rangers Megafail - we could talk about how Goseiger felt like it was overshadowed not ONCE BUT TWICE in its whole career. Goseiger is overshadowed by Shinkenger It's no secret that Samurai Sentai Shinkenger is a fan favorite for that long. I even dare say Shinkenger is overappreciated. Tori Matsuzaka ends up becoming what I'd call a really big shadow of a red ranger. The role of Takeru Shiba just o...

Well, after one week without Super Hero Time - I really think about something else. There were leaks that suggested that Dai Satan from Zyuranger was returning. However, it turned out that the costume used in Super Sentai Strongest Battle has just been repainted.  The beginning has a nightmare scene. A mysterious figure shows up and yup - it's a Dai Satan repaint. The wiki calls the monster as Satan Menasaur. Okay, I do hate it whenever the name Satan is used just for a monster of the week (such as Satan Megas from Bioman ) rather than to use it for the Bigger Bad like Zyuranger did.  Canaro is now and already communicating with the Mosa Rex. They're told that a greater challenge is about to emerge after the Ryusoul Calibur was taken. In RPGs - this would be that moment when the final boss is about to arrive.  Meanwhile, the remaining Druidons and honestly the show hasn't established them AT ALL and this is freaking 2020 already! I mean, I can understan...

It's no secret that Mirai Sentai Timeranger will be turning 20 years old, right? It's been 20 years since it aired in the year 2000. Now, it's time to consider it as what could be called an overly ambitious TV series. Some might call it to be an overly ambitious era from 1999 up to 2000 with GoGoFive and Timeranger . Yasuko Kobayashi's work as a head writer in Super Sentai did leave some impact. One can consider that some fans think Shinkenger is her best work. Others have a different opinion by saying that it's  Gingaman , Go-Busters , or ToQGer  depending on the viewer. Until now, I do still feel Dryed Mangoez's ToQGer review is somewhat weird even when I appreciate him for defending Go-Busters . I still think about how I was that big on Shinkenger though my opinion about it changed over time. Timeranger just happens to be that show that also shook my opinion on Shinkenger . I still probably hold it in high regard among Kobayashi's works. So, I think ...

It's no doubt that the 2020s have begun and the 2010s have ended. So, I decided to do a bit of a nostalgic throwback to make us either feel young or old. The Sword of Time can be very cruel too you know. The same time that strengthens your resistance will eventually weaken you! Now, it's time for a bit of throwback... 45th anniversary Himitsu Sentai Goranger Goranger is turning 45th this year. One can't deny that the show may already be very distant with newer fans. You can tell why some people just don't watch old school Super Sentai for very valid reasons. Kamen Rider Stronger The fifth installment of the Showa era Kamen Rider. I heard Kamen Rider was supposed to end with Stronger until Skyrider came in four years later. I admit, I watched this show and I don't really enjoy Showa era Kamen Riders that much! 40th anniversary Denzi Sentai Denziman A very basic Super Sentai. While I do usually like most of the old school but some of them just age b...

I'm thinking about possible Super Sentai series that may be getting over-appreciated or underappreciated by some Power Rangers fans. Super Sentai didn't get known to them until the dawn of the early digital age followed by English translations. Overappreciated Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger Should Zyuranger even get the top spot in being overappreciated? Granted, there were once baseless rumors that Mighty Morphin' was more popular in Japan than it. However, I do feel Zyuranger does tend to become that series that gets overly appreciated by the Power Rangers fans ever since translations. Before, it's just hard to appreciate a show with a language barrier, right? Some people are willing to read subtitles but just don't want to learn another language. I mean, it's the very source material of Mighty Morphin' and without it - the show couldn't exist! Shout! Factory DVD decided to release Zyuranger so I think it makes it to this list. Though I think Dairange...
