Ike!.....Henshin!

Yes, morph time..go!. I'm having a delightful time as i write this down for all of you who read and don't bloody post, I'm joining the ranks of a special fan group, thanks to word from one of my buddies there i randomly decided to start checking up on wikipedia about the power rangers..you know..just to see what was the upcoming tonnelade going to look like....interesting and i had a little nice research but then i was struck by a motivational poster..which I'll share later on and jumped up to see the real inspiration to the Power Rangers series: The Super Sentai.

Sentai, which literally translates into task force or fighting squadron, and Super for the use of mechanical giant robots and weapons is the name for the Japanese series from where the power rangers were adapted. I was incredibly amazed to see how may they have and that they've been on air for over 30 years. But what makes these so special?..i checked them out a bit thanks to Youtube and was able to see the new intros of the series to come here on Venezuela and even the very first two chapters of all the series and dammint it was hot.. a nice plot, a more realistic setting and no TUBE ZORDONNNNNN oh.. and no Rita Repulsa..blah instead its the same actress but her name is Majo Bandora..i mean wow and the morphing sequence are awesome too..I'd really start seeing this as soon as i can.

The other interesting fact is that in most of the Super Sentai series, the yellow ranger is a male instead of the american style which has used females untill Power Rangers: Ninja Storm, since then I've been wondering if the fights footing is shared oh my god.. you get the idea...nevertheless is awesome and you should also try to look up some of it. No links for that heh..come on you know how to use wiki don`t you?

Japanese lines sound so much cooler than american english kiddies... oh here enjoy..and Psycho, you're so right..

well, indeed my dear friend jac, super sentai have been stomping balls and rocking hard since so much time ago, actually, japanese tv it's always a step ahead in ideas for shows, pretty much like in everything else. Sure, you have some drawbacks like sleeping in those cocoon like beds and having no life whatsoever, but it pays off.
Anyway, as far as i know, footage is not shared between countries, however we all know there was a d00d in the yellow and in the pink outfit, then again, we were like 10 then so for most of us it didn't mattered, we were there for the blood, so to speak.
Try catching the "Forever Red" episode of Super Sentai, i can swear they bored the monster to death with the "intro of snoring" +10 attack, but don't take my word for it, jump into youtube and let your mind make it's own jokes.
cheers d00d.

Super Sentai rocks hard baby...
And in those kenkurangers (the mighty morphin season where they had the ninja zwords) the white ranger was actually a girl; her name was Tsuruhime (crane princess), how about that?
