Legends War In America

Well news has said that a scene will be made similar to the Legends War from Gokaiger, but with post-zyu teams. This easily means that Goseiger will be skipped and Gokaiger will be adapted next as Power Rangers will unite to fight a great evil. There is a lot wrong with that though, sure I have been thinking that an adaption for the series is an good idea, but the big issue is the Zordon era. Everyone knows what I am talking about, the first four series connected to each other somehow. After the Power Coins were destroyed the heroes got the Zeo powers and for some reason those powers were ignored as the Turbo powers were introduced. The original team did leave though and gave Turbo to a new team, but soon four of those members went into space and became a new team with a new leader. How can this possibly happen I know Sentai had past actors do roles, but they played as different characters. In Power Rangers Tommy is labeled as four rangers, Green, White, Red Zeo, and Black Dino. Maybe the powers were restored and could have been given to new heroes, but that would easily kill some tribute episodes. This does give light though that the adaption won't be using pre-zyu teams which is better since showing the older teams will make no sense in the Power Ranger universe. Along with tributes they would have to change the feeling of some like with Turbo since it tried to act like a darker series even though Carranger was a comedic series. Overall I am mixed about this since Power Rangers have mostly lost their powers when they are just brought back randomly with no explanation. I'm just hoping that the new cast aren't cut and paste of the original characters even though they are great I want to see Saban do something different. Another thing what would be the title of the new show then, would this be the Megaforce series?

Gokaiger Adaption?!

News about the new power ranger series casting has been cancelled and it could be the possibility of Gokaiger being adapted. It was cancelled because since its going to be the 20th anniversary in 2013 there is going to be some new creative thoughts for the next season. So casting had to pushed as it will continue in March or April of 2012. Now this could mean a simple adjustment of using the Goseiger footage or they will use their own. "Elevate the season's creative to entirely new heights" Could mean that or they could just be using Gokaiger. I am hoping Gokaiger wont be adapted because it will be very hard for them to use it. The adaption could easily just cut out the use of older sentai powers, but that would be a lot of editing to do and how Samurai is looking I have a feeling they could get lazy with the task. This could be good news though as it could mean they are thinking something different for the Goseiger adaption. If Saban does skip Goseiger though, the Gokaiger adaption will probably be a bad series because of how they will use the footage and again Samurai is just copying episodes so they could do the same for that series. The worst part about that is that Gokaiger has a lot of homages to previous sentai series and if Saban just copies them they wont be very effective for American auidences since they have no idea what Sentai is. Overall, there is a higher chance that they are just changing the Goseiger adaption because they never skipped a sentai series expect for Dairanger (Kakuranger still counts because they did use their suits and the Alien Rangers did have a mini series).

Stay away from this series Saban!

Power Rangers Ultra Megaforce A Video Game Motif?

Now there are rumors around that the Goseiger adaption will not have the angel motif because for some reason it cant be done. If it is really because of religious beliefs, bullcrap who cares the show is fiction its not going to say to follow anything or something like that. Well it seems it could follow a video game motif and with the word Mega the first thing that pops into my head is Megaranger. I heard from PR Sentai Universe that this adaption could be using the Megaranger script. Really Saban, so you are changing this adaption, but still ripping something off! This angers me a lot and now this could be even worse than Goseiger. I dont hate Megaranger its a good series of what I saw so far, but think about this. They are using an older script and the team are high school students. People still say that MMPR did this with Turboranger because of some character similarites. I havent seen Turboranger so I wouldnt really know. Anyways how will this even work I guess Saban will be using a lot of their own footage this time which could be nice if done right. How will other things be handeled though will each set of villians be treated as a level or something like that. Actually that sort of sounds interesting each set of villians can be like a new level as the team get new powers to fight the harder villians. Saban could use that idea, but who knows by the way Samurai is going with only like 2 episodes I actually really like so far this could be really bad. Lets just hope this series wont be just for MMPR nostaliga because we know how that is going for Samurai right now.

Same color scheme as well

Adding To The Name Megaforce

This is going to be a quick post because I think a couple of sentences will explain this easily. Saban has now registered "Ultra MegaForce" Really at first Megaforce was bad, but now its even worse with the name Ultra! First it is classified as live action, but why Ultra? I am thinking Ultraman when I here the word Ultra mentioned with live action, so is this an ultraman adaption? Probably not, but the name got worse thats all I have to say.

Goseiger Adaptation: Megaforce?

Well Saban has announced another Power Ranger series called Megaforce which will be the Goseiger adaptation properly. Still what kind of name is Megaforce?! Will this team even be angels or even have that motif or will Saban actually change that. I would be shocked to see another complete different series with this one because Goseiger is my least favorite sentai series its boring and only has some good things like Goseiknight. Now will Saban show the new team when they have the Samurai and RPM crossover like the Shinkenger and Go-onger teamup movie did? I know some people may go wait isnt the new rider movie called Megamax and why arent you bashing that title then? Well first its a movie and not a series you actually have to call the team Megaforce. Its a completely stupid name and sounds like they just pulled it out of a hat and went with it. This dumb name though could mean the series could be a lot more different than Goseiger compared to Samurai to Shinkenger.



PowerRider.org!!!!!

Well news of this got out with RRR http://ridersrangersandrambles.com/2011/08/17/26466. Now this means that its going to happen! Still no news of which series it will be though. Everyone is saying its Decade which could be bad or good. It could be bad because of the fact of Decade's writing of how it went all over the place at times. This could be good because they can easily make new stories with the many worlds and even for the main hero. How will they use the other riders though, we know they can use the Black RX world easily because of Masked Rider, but there was also Black in there. Who knows maybe it will just be a solo hero who has mutplie powers fighting villians could be that simple. Saban could easily drop the world travel thing and just have Decade fight monsters which means they will have to use their own footage. Then everyone will be confused on where these powers came from so the original riders could have lost them like in Gokaiger with the sentai warriors. This could also mean new beginnings for other riders like Kabuto. If they do want to use Kuuga and Agito high chance they will use their own scenes. Its just I'm shocked now that this is actually real, but I'm still wondering which rider will be chosen to start a new franchise for Saban.

Who should it be?



How Goseiger Could be Adapted

Well there is casting for the new power ranger series up now as seen from http://sentaifive.blogspot.com/ so I guess its going to be a different series from Samurai. I'm glad because there are so many things Saban can do with this series. First if they want to try the nostalgic factor again they can do it here because Goseiger has the same colors as Zyuranger expect for the sixth's, but I think Goseiger should be the nostalgic season. First the Goseiger has a talking head like figure to help them, Zordon much? Also there is Datas who is like Alpha being a robot who helps the team. They can try the teenager team again, they just have to make sure that the characters just arent copies of MMPR. Saban still could work with the angels doing their duty if they want, but I think it will be nice to see a teenage team again, but with today's society that can be a bad idea, thanks Disney.

For the villians they can try a Boukenger or Gingaman like feel. Having the mutiple villians fight each other or being a team. Buredoran can easily be the leader or a villian who changes sides at times or maybe being forced to be changed. Buredoran could easily be a space invader at first and is killed during the final battle with Warstar and the Yamajuu find his body or him almost dying and change him to survive. For when he turns into a machine it can be a stragey to kidnap him to use him for killing the Yamajuus and then appearing his mecha form. Then finally he can just go beserk and steal powers from Master Head to become the Fallen Angel form because he is tired of being used.

Then finally there is GoseiKnight who I think can be human in the adaption because they could try another Bullblack move like in Gingaman and Lost Galaxy. It wouldnt be creative though even though Knight was an awsome character and one of the only good things in Goseiger, but seeing a human becoming him will be awsome. First he should be the oldest memeber because he can easily be a mentor for the team or be a rouge because the team is still too young, sort of like Gosieger. He could just join the team because maybe they can make him a follower and his faith gives him the powers. There is also another thing that could be done which is Knight is an actual angel sent down by Master Head to help and teach the team.

Overall this is what I think how the series could be adapted. First having a new teenage team will be nice and nostalgic if Saban does it right and doesnt try to be like today's tween shows. The villians can all be facing each other or a team, but Buredoran still needs to swtich sides or be the leader. Then finally Knight can be an angel to teach the team the truth of protecting the Earth and he can punish them for not doing things right (Mostly just because of the source material anyways a teacher who actually teaches the team a lesson will be nice) If you dont like this I am fine with that, just dont be rude and I will like to see what you think how this can be done because no matter what its all better than copying it! Mostly since Goseiger was not a good series with only some good things like Knight and Buredoran. Also I will call the show Power Rangers Heaven Force. Hell Saban could even use GoseiGreen just for notaglia, would be nice to give him an actual importance to the show than just one episode.

Power Ranger Samurai Second Season?!

Saban why must you do this to fans, stop trying to make Samurai into MMPR! It seems that Samurai will have a 2nd season like MMPR did and it just makes me more worried than ever. First this happened with MMPR and it worked greatly because of a new villian and even Saban made their own monster for the series which was a big strong point. They couldnt use the stock footage at times though because they kept the original suits and didnt use the Dairanger suits and for some reason they didnt get the monsters from it so they had to do some really bad editing. With that though they did use their own footage which was nice to see that Saban could use it more and more. They even used the same mechas from Dairanger and the sixth ranger which worked greatly because they were somewhat similar to Zyuranger mechs even though one was originally green and not black. Also it was odd seeing a really big difference from having dinos turn into a great warrior to mythical creatures turn into a samurai. Still with some original ideas and original monsters MMPR still lived on, but how will Saban do this again with Shinkenger?

Zedd was awsome!

Now with the past seen could Saban do the same thing again? Could they just use monsters and the mechas from the next sentai series and just skip it? That will be very weird because first Samurai is well as a samurai motif how can they use footage from Goseiger with an angel motif? First the mechas have no similarity to Shinkenger's so how will that work out and how could they explain it in the series? Also the monsters vary from space invaders, pollution monsters, and machines neither of them can relate to the Gendou. Sure the Yamajuu can be used pretty easily, but there was always something with Ayakashi mostly all of them expect one had a tone of red on their body. So I think someone will notice something is different. Maybe they could use their own monsters again which did work out sometimes or they can finally use some monsters from Shinkenger that they skipped! This also could be the time that they use the Decade footage because I think the so called "Power Rider" will come after season one so that they can show who this new hero is and then show him with the team when he gets his final form. This could also mean a new villian could be introduced maybe Akumaro could be revealed in season two and become the new leader if they use the final battle footage early.

They better not skip it because there is a lot of potential for Saban here

If they do skip Goseiger what will happen to them? They will become like Dairanger and will never been seen in America, but what about GoseiKnight. Remember they used Kibaranger in MMPR season 2, but GoseiKnight could never fit in with Samurai because they're samurai and they already have a sixth ranger. I cant just cant believe that there is another season coming up because it just making me wonder what will happen to the series and Goseiger. Saban could do their own scenes again, but could they do the same for mecha fights and where will they get monsters from will they really use their own for a whole season? Either way I have a really bad feeling that season two will become a way to be nostaliga to MMPR and Samurai has been doing bad with that. I am hoping that Goseiger will still be used because Saban can easily use it.

Possibilty Kamen Rider Decade Adaptation

Well now Saban has actually registered a new series called Power Rider. Now this could easily be Decade because Saban is using Shinkenger right now and we all know of the team up they had. Also why would Saban attempt this again, the worst part is that Decade is a crossover series. Their first attempt was Masked Rider which used Black RX and ZO footage and near the end of the series other riders appeared. For Japan this is awsome because these are the ten original riders, but for America we have no idea who they are and their names were completely messed up (I AM AMAZON!)

Also there is news that Steven Wang who worked with Adness who adapted Ryuki into Dragon Knight says that he wants to adapt Faiz and Kabuto. I say let him I think the adaptions of rider series will be better if Steven does them because he actually had original ideas with Dragon Knight. Unlike Masked Rider where its mostly cut and paste for a lot or only minor details are removed. Maybe he could work with Saban with this new rider adaption and if it goes well this could bring more new adaptions. High chance though they wont use any rider series before Kabuto though because showing Decade which was made in 2009 and then skipping to a series in 2003 deosnt sound that smart. Who knows though they could easily just reimagine the show then by using their own footage the whole time and just use the suits. There is also the fact that now the Zecter Knights poster is a fake because of what Steven said how he wants to adapt Kabuto that means there is no production of it yet, but it could be real someday. Also the name Power Rider sounds so dumb its just so it sounds like Power Rangers!



My favorite American Toku Series

Now I'm not a big fan of the localized toku shows, but there are some good ones out there. So I will start with my favoirte Power Rangers series which is Lost in Space. I barely remember it as a kid all I remember was that it was in Space. Beofre looking back into it I saw about 20 episodes of Megaranger and so far its a good sentai series. So I finally got back into Space and I was surprised that even though Megaranger has a video game motif Saban still went with the Space theme. Which it did work this series was the most original so far having many new ideas. The series was also pretty dark for a power ranger series mostly the ending which all fans will remember. I will do a full review on it sometime, but not now, but I do know this PR series did a lot right, but it still had it's flaws like the TMNT crossover episode.

Why?!!!!!!

Now sadly Kamen Rider was only adpated twice for America and we all know how much the first attempt sucked, but the second one was good. Dragon Knight came around 2008 and adapted the 2002-2003 rider series Ryuki. It sure is a big time gap and the series was cancelled, but it was still good. Again there was original ideas used and there are big differences between it and Ryuki. Another thing is that it kept Kamen Rider. I guess they were trying to keep people away from the thought of Masked Rider even though Kamen means Masked. Well the series did keep some darkness with losing riders going into eternal slumber in a different world, it sort had a death feeling. The villian was even impressive sort of similar to Shiro giving the powers to certain people. Xaviax wanted to rule both worlds (OF COURSE!) and he was limited on who becomes a rider because of the mirror world. He was a smart villian and gave off the impression Lord Zedd had before he got goofy. They both had the look of having power and seem like the emperor, this was shown at times with Xaviax threatning riders. The series also used some of their own footage, but they had some bad editing with that at times when they had to use the original footage because of the time gap. This was a good attempt and there should be more in the future just not with Decade start with Double.

There were then Metal Hero series that were adapted and I barely remember some of those and one of those was Big Bad Beetleborgs! I loved this as a kid and there are still some moments I remember a lot like that one episode where they actually had Janperson in an episode or the Shadowborg arc. I do remeber the blue Jay Leno though and now he just creeps me out at times. For the other monsters they're okay, but pointless. The heroes maybe kids, but it was used better than Turbo with Justin. I dont like the fact they just get powers just because of a wish and now they have to fight evil because Jay Leno released the villians. This was adapted from one of the most popular metal hero series Juukou B Fighter. I only saw the first episode, but I have seen clips and MV's and I can tell I will love this series. I remember Shadowborg as my favoirte badass back then and now that I know more about Black Beet he is more awsome since there is more character behind him and he has one of my favoirte songs from toku. The villians were good there are the three goofballs and I bet they're not all goofs in B Fighter, but the leader uses a similar method in American Toku or Toku in general which is the emperor feel and in the final episode of the Shadowborg arc we see the heroes couldnt finish him off even after three deadly attacks. I didnt like how he was then tossed aside for the new villians because I would love to see those two groups work together.

"Its offical, you suck."

So those are some of American Toku series that I remember or love the most, I will easily try to find more again like Beetleborgs and thanks to Netflix that is pretty easy. Even with some good ones from America there are a lot more original toku series I love.

Possiblity: Decade in Power Rangers Samurai



I still hear of this from fans that Saban bought the footage with the Decade and Shinkenger team up so is this true? So far there has been offical news about this, but I hope this doesnt happen because it could lead to the same mistake Saban made in 1994.

Yup this could cause another if Decade shows up in Samurai. This was done before in MMPR with a Friend In Need where a new hero is introduced. Sometime after the episodes the series was made and everyone knows what happened. It failed big time and is still known as Saban's worst series ever. What exactly went wrong with this series? First showing him teaming up with the Rangers was a mistake I think because it proves that Power Rangers were too popular that the only way they could make a show is to introduce a character in that series. Also kids were into teamwork motifs so having a solo hero didnt appeal as much because Power Rangers was stuck in kid's heads. The show itself though had problems like the characters and their acting wasnt good at all. The show tried to be as corny and funny as MMPR, but it couldnt compare. There was also the thing that will never be mentioned again (GRRRRRRR I HATE THAT THING!)

Whats odd is that both Black RX and Decade crossed with other riders. Black RX teamed up with the ten original riders in an episode arc while Decade teamed up with diff riders in every arc. For Masked Rider we know what happened to the original riders (I AM AMAZON!!!!) as their names were mixed up or were just dumb names, the only one they got right was ZX. Now it is the 21st century now, but I worry if a bad name could be given to Decade. The worst part though is that not only Decade will be shown many other riders will appear too (matters on what footage they use). Diend, Kuuga, Blade, Raia, Scisscors, and Den-o appear. Even monsters from kamen rider are in as well. For kids with the original riders in Masked Rider they were just were other riders who appeared to help with no back story. If they use Decade there has to be story with the riders, they already got Dragon Knight down, but what about the others? Could showing Decade first give birth to even more Rider series?

Decade also had a Black RX's world which lead to a teamup with Black as well. This could be very interesting to see how they can use that world. Dragon Knight will also be interesting since that series did have many differences to Ryuki. For the other rider worlds they could use the original stories from those series and not Decade's to give potential to new riders series even though they are before Decade.

There is no offical news yet, but if it is done that could lead to Decade being adapted by Saban. Lets just hope an occurence like this doesnt happen again. (Watch the video to understand)
