Fair point. A lot of Sentai don't really get into character backstories though. At the top of my head, Kakuranger automatically comes to mind as Tsurihime and Jiraiya were the only ones on the team that got any real backstory and, even then, Tsurihime's was the only one that mattered in the long run as far as the plot was concerned.

So I watched Shout!'s stream of Megaranger today which ended up being a mess. The episodes were cropped into 16x9, there were constant feeze ups, but most of all, they didn't have any of those live segments they did with Kakuranger, which was a let down. Yeah, they had that Shamus dude do some voice overs in trivia, but it just wasn't the same without a group there talking about the show.

I watched episodes 9-15 of Goggle V today. The ninth episode was pretty cool with an Edo period styled village. However, the ending had the rangers take a child with them so he could see the world and then he was just gone in the next episode. They didn't even mention him at all. I hate when they do that! -_-
The next few were pretty much standard fair, but the last one brought in a new general who just disintegrated two of the villains like they were nothing. What a waste. They didn't even get to go out with a bang. So far I'm still enjoying the show, I just wish it could live up to the full potential it has. Except for the mech battles, those continue to be snoozefests. |

I just finished up Gingaman recently and i didn't like it going it at first but i really grew to enjoy it. it got a lot more interesting for me once Black Bull showed up and it made me put the other two Sentai i was watching on the back burner to focus on it (The other two being TimeRanger and GaoRanger)

Yeah, Gingaman starts out a bit slow but the moment Sanbash is removed from the board it gets good. Can't wait to finally watch it subbed next year.

It was weird seeing Sasuke back as Hyuuga in Gingaman i didn't notice it at first but after awhile i saw the similarities
Out the ones I've watched from start to finish i would have to say my favorite right now is Kakuranger i felt like it has had a more pleasing finale than some of the others like Dairanger and Zyuranger |

Just watched discs 2 and 3 of Mega. A lot of great stuff here, but I really wish Shout! could figure out how they wanted to spell Hinelar's name. Sometimes he's Hinelar, other times it's Hineler. It's Zechs Merchise/Merquise/Marquise all over again.

Do not live in US and difficult to get the Shout's Super Sentai content. However I am currently watching Shinkengar in between of Kamen Rider. Might rewatch Gokaiger or Boukenger after I finish off with this.

So I decided to try Kakuranger again. A bit of backstory: I started Sentai with Zyuranger a couple of years ago, and all of the Power Rangers nostalgia practically smacked me in the face. I absolutely loved it. After finishing Zyuranger, I tried watching both Dairanger and Kakuranger. I hated Dairanger, and was bored of Kakuranger. Why? At the time, all I wanted was more Zyuranger.
Anyways, I don't really know what it is. I think between being stuck on Zyuranger for so long, seeing newer Sentai and how bland and formulaic they can be, and getting into Kamen Rider, my interest in Sentai basically dropped down to zero. Well, I've found myself in the mood for some old school toku, and after visiting Japan this summer and seeing a ton of temples and shrines, I've also been wanting to watch something themed around traditional Japanese culture and mythology. On top of that, the anime Ushio and Tora made me want more youkai action. So I decided to give Kakuranger another chance, and let me tell you, I already absolutely love it. Now that I'm not expecting another Zyuranger, like when I first tried watching it, it's easy to appreciate what this series is and what makes it unique. I've missed old school sentai, and this is a great return to it. I can't wait to watch more.
