I am inspired to do a similar entry from Henshin Grid's entry " The Rules of Gokaiger " and here's writing on the show itself: It's based on the Legend War. Yup so we won't be seeing the team going back and forth in different time periods. Hmmm... so did those dead warriors temporarily revive? As TheChick said to me saying, "Apparently, the legend war took place in the past, and this series takes place in a very near future. The warriors could have used time travel, magic, or replacements for fallen soldiers or whatnot. Don't think too much of it, because continuity conundrums will give you a headache and stop you from enjoying the show." However if she wishes to do more discussions, email would be better. So they're not from Earth which was already established since episode one. I believe Power Rangers had a strong impact here. The idea was incorporated into Sentai in Goseiger but the idea of aliens as rangers came from Power Rang...

Here are some interesting Shinkenger stuff: Presumably at the end of the series, the Shinkenger main cast pose at a hotel with Gorou Ibuki who played as their mentor Hikoma. A V-Cinema photo. Rin Takanashi's outfit looks kinda funny. At a theater with Masahiro Inoue?! Now I'd like to ride that bus! Ha ha ha!

Apparently unlike Goseiger which I stopped making reviews because I didn't pretty much like the series, Gokaiger is too well written and it's been since Naruhisa Arakawa wrote for Super Sentai. Here are a few interesting things: Aka Red is involved. So perhaps timeline issues have caused him to exist. Just who is he anyway? His badge was changed to 35 and he was the one who gave the Gokaigers their keys. A boy realizes in this episode that with great power comes great responsibility when he couldn't fully use the powers of Shinken Red properly. It's pretty interesting that the two girls become red rangers as well. Forever red! The Hurricanger suits modified for the Hurricane Yellow and Fanged Ninja Kuwaga Raiger suits and well, the Hurricane Blue suit goes male. Kai Ozu is shown at the end of the episode. Well I wonder if this show's brought back the flying fortress after so long? Hee hee.

I have noticed that in the later Sentai series, there seems to be concepts that were ultimately "hybrid" or merging concepts and themes of previous Sentai series. These are: Gogo V- As a series, it seemed to combine the concepts of Fiveman as a sibling team with Maskman (technology vs. supernatural) as well as a bit of Kakuranger when it comes to enemies. I pretty much thought of it that Toei was making rip-offs within its own company. Hurricanger- The concept of the ninja came from Hurricanger. However it also had elements from Liveman such as the primary robo, the addition of two more rangers in the series and the themes of revenge, redemption and academics. Abaranger- It had the dinosaur concept from Zyuranger and the multi-gattai concept from Gaoranger. Go-onger- The color coding was taken from Liveman while the comedy concept was taken from Carranger.

One of my followers Ling pointed me out this link (http://plaza.rakuten.co.jp/totatarumi/diary/201012190001/) and I ran into these photos. Here are some Sentai senior photos you'd like to see: Shishido Masaru still looking great but too bad he's not in red. Ryosuke Sakamoto in a funny expression. Keichi Wada doing a thumbs up. Third red ranger in a lone picture here. Keichi Wada and Ei Hamura drinking some liquor. Matsumuto Hiroyuki of Kamen Rider fame with Teruaki Ogawa from Kakuranger. Kihachiro Uemara and I can't recognize the other one. Keichi Wada with Shigeru Kanai. Satomi Hirose hasn't aged much and still looks cute. I wonder who's her husband. Yuji Kishi and his wife Mika Kikuchi-Kishi. Oh yeah, it's time for picture taking isn't it?

The Gokaigers would like to wish you all... HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! Just hope the Zangya doesn't attack when you're on a date! Ha ha ha!

Gokaiger- the first episode is kind of what I'd call a stroke of genius from Naruhisa Arakawa. They did make their first appearance in Goseiger vs. Shinkenger in cameo just as the Goseigers made their cameo appearance in Shinkenger vs. Go-onger. Well here's just some of my thoughts from pictures found from Henshin Grid: The idea of a flying ship is cool and the music rocks too both opening and ending themes. As usual, I like most Super Sentai themes over Power Rangers themes but let's not fight about it okay? The Gokaigers look like a promising bunch. So far here's my first impressions on them: Captain Marvelous/Gokai Red- Why do I get the feeling he's royalty? He looks kinda cocky if you ask me. Joe Gibken/Gokai Blue- He's the most pirate-like of the group and he's the most calm of the group, probably more sensible than Captain Marvelous. Luka Millfy/Gokai Yellow- Although she's a woman, she's the ship's lookout. She's the only one in ...
