The Use of Horses in Super Sentai

Image
Considering it's the year of the horse, here's some horses in Super Sentai as far as I can remember... Megiddo rode a horse at times to battle Yuuma was Change Pegasus.  Okay the Pegasus is mythical but it's a winged horse. Later, Shouji would be the Tenma (Pegasus) Ranger in Dairanger and had a horse themed mecha. The Gingamen were horse riders. Shinkenger had horses.  Takeru Shiba used his horse at times which he drew out of a mojikara.  In the Shinkenger movie, they all rode on horses. The Zangyack had ther flagship known as the Gigant Horse, which was shaped like a carriage pulled by horse. Missed any?  Let me know!

My Categories as Types of Super Sentai Fans (Not Fantards)

Image
Well I'm here to cater to Super Sentai fans, never fantards.  Now for some types of Super Sentai fans which I have categorized as: The Gai Ikari type.  They love Super Sentai the most but they are either neutral or liking other Tokusatsu entries like Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, Metal Hero, Ultraman, etc. but for them, Super Sentai is the best. The Gentaro Kisaragi type of fan that is the Kamen Rider fan who loves Super Sentai.  This fan loves Kamen Rider more but will watch Super Sentai and Power Rangers. Clearly not a Kamen Rider fantard. The Nobuo Akagi type.  These are die hard Sentai only fans who may not accept anything else but Super Sentai for them.  They may dislike Power Rangers but not speak ill of it or two, they may not accept something else could take over Super Sentai.  Power Rangers fans who like Super Sentai or in short SS/PR fans.  Their subcategories are those who like Power Rangers more and those who like Sup...

Super Sentai Villains That Were Beaten or Killed by the During the Introduction of a New Mecha/Combination

Image
Some villains and not the monsters of the week were defeated by a new mecha/combination.  Here is as far as I can remember... Warning there will be spoilers ahead as usual in the major plots analysis series so don't read further if you don't want to be spoiled . Zimba was defeated by the Turbo Builder right after he defeated the Turbo Robo.  He was enlarged by Yamimaru. Jarmin after she transferred her soul into the enlarged Kuroko Bouma (her other half) she was defeated by the Turbo Rugger. Ragorn was defeated by the newly combined Super Turbo Builder. Gasha Dokuro was defeated by the newly formed Kakure Daishogun resulting to his death.  His mad professor assistant died being squashed by a boulder.

More Reactions to the Updates on ToQGer

Image
Well Orends Range has as usual beaten me to this.  Now for some information aside from the obvious revelation that it's ToQGer, so what do I think? I can't really expect much since Super Sentai is a career launcher for mostly newbies but I hope they get acting lessons.  So far, I'm thinking that maybe I will give it a chance or two, I'll probably leave this decade of Super Sentai to the little kids.  So they are childhood friends.  It would be interesting to have another group of childhood friends who become a Sentai group.  With the producer/director tandem I hope Yasuko Kobayashi will give them more charm than she did with the somewhat stiff Gobusters cast. I can't say it would be a bad show just because suit designs suck imo and also the mecha doesn't impress me since I'm a very choosy person in some way.  I mean, I'll just admit that I didn't like the colored visors of Timeranger at first neither did I like the Shinkenger designs at first. ...

Trying to Understand Nobuo Akagi's Love for Super Sentai in Akibaranger

Image
While the part that he's a 29 year old guy still into Super Sentai and so moe with Aoi-tan, actually it seems that the only Tokusatsu he likes is Super Sentai which can be evidenced in season two... He sees every store in a Toku toy store but the only toys he wants are Super Sentai.  Plus over the course of season one, he only talks about Super Sentai.  You can see a Gavan toy but he only wants the Super Sentai toys. In Akibaranger season two, he doesn't only say that you can't like Powerful Rangers (but doesn't call it bootleg neither do the others talk like he does) but also, when Prism Ace arrives and it was revealed within their own continuity that Sentai was going to be cancelled, it was bad news for him.

Why Gobusters is NOT An Anti-Power Rangers Series

Image
This is really outrageous as how Sentai fantards continue to read my blog but fight with Power Rangers fans who like Super Sentai.  Now I'll show you why Gobusters is not an anti-Power Rangers series: First if the heroes were against Power Rangers, why are they using the call "It's MORPHIN' Time!" huh? So some people say that the term Megazords were used for the enemy mecha.  No.  Megazords are used for the term of EVERY giant robot whether it's good or bad in Gobusters.  Why don't they rewatch the show? It has also taken some Power Rangers RPM elements.  For example, Messiah is similar to Venjix and Escape might be RPM's version of Tenaya except she's purely an avatar. So I wonder why those Sentai fantards, not Sentai fans continue to insist on that ridiculous notion?

What I Think of the "Feeling Mature" Crowd as a Super Sentai Fan

Image
Here's me about to turn 29 years old and somewhat still into Super Sentai.  To be honest, while I'm not really an open fan due to my age and two, it's more of my sideline obsession since Super Sentai for me is very secondary or tertiary to me.  It's kind of sad to think I'm a 29 year old bachelor, dateless after many years of break up with my ex-girlfriend who resembles Mika Katsumura.  So let's start with Sentai fans, not Sentai fantards.  Although I don't live the way like Nobuo does (that is overly obsessed with Super Sentai) but I'm proud of the fact that even if I'm no otaku, I still have a soft spot for Super Sentai, Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, etc. even if I've moved on with more "mature stuff" like martial arts movies.  I guess fellow Tokusatsu critics who read my blog know the stupid reason why I watch Super Sentai.  It is possible to be a mature Sentai fan that is, liking the genre without being childish or overly obsessed wi...
