They should come up with a better way to celebrate a Sentai season anniversary rather than just releasing DVDs and Blu-Rays.

Since you brought it up, would Degrassi be more akin to Inoue's style? I'd say the MMPR we got was more Saved By the Bell-ish.

Maybe. I haven't watched Degrassi.

Question:

I grew up on Power rangers but aside from that movie reboot, I haven't watched it since I was a kid. So when I watched Zyuranger as my intro to Sentai, I absolutely loved having Power rangers nostalgia + discovery of something new and exciting. Now, I'm 10 years in and have seen muliple seasons. However, even though I had hopes to, I never got around to watching Dairanger or Kakuranger. But lately I've been having a craving to go back and revisit mmpr.

So I'm wondering - should I revisit mmpr first? Or should I hold off and finally get around to watching Dairanger and Kakuranger first? What do you all recommend?

Well, if you have the desire, why resist it? MMPR has its advantages, otherwise the show wouldn't have spawned such a long-running franchise.
Although, for me personally, rewatching it was disappointing because I realized how stupid the writers consider their audience. I understand some Japanese yōkai can't be adapted directly, but Greek mythology is something we learn at the end of elementary school. And what about fairy tales? Most of the target demographic is certainly at least briefly familiar with them. So I think if the Minotaur weren't such a popular monster, they'd have named him Cow-Boy and voiced him with a Texan accent.
So for me personally, the peak of PR is from In Space to Wild Force.

I’d watch MMPR first, that way you can get a ton of “Oh, that’s what that was!” moments when you watch the Sentais. Especially for Kakuranger because MMPR changed so much of it.
