I think the Ninninger footage has a ton of western appeal, and its toy line has been very successful. I'm fairly confident Bandai and Saban will adapt Ninninger.

I have not been enjoying Ninninger. The problems I had with the show was Takaharu's comical acting like whenever he is excited, he overdoes it by shouting to the ceilings. It makes it hard to feel for a character that feels more like a cariacture.

Yakumo's dislike for ninjas was not explained and the show didn't explored his mysterious wizard skills such as how he obtained it and his connection to it. The wand that he welds look funny like he is holding a twig.

Dragomaru looked like a force to be reckoned with like the Dragonzord but felt underutilized in the Megazord battles. With the mechs being A.I, I would have liked it if Shinobimaru and the other guys like Paonmaru and Surfermaru could talk, giving them distinct personalities and making them interesting.

Starninger's revenge on the Werewolf Yokai was poor because in the megazord battle, the Werewolf just stood there waiting for the Mecha to kill him. No effort in some of the megazord scenes.

Kyuemon Izayoi being a male when she was a still a human was odd and was not mentioned why her gender changed. The Ninningers didn't seem surprised by it which is funny because you would think such a reveal would garner a big reaction.

I still think Saban will adapt Ninninger despite its poor source material. It is a strong theme, has beautiful ranger suits and yokai suits, and cool and unique mechs. The problem is the story and the characters, something that can be fixed with original footage. As for some of the weak megazord battles, we have seen original megazord footage for Dino Charge so hopefully that will continue for the Power Rangers version and aid the megazord battles to be better.

How was ToQger in comparison?

Just get Ludd Lynn back and I think a Power Rangers version of Ninninger will be better then it's Sentai counter part. I see people saying that they like Dino Charge over Kyoryuger.

Anyone but Tzachor

Okay, I went back and looked at episode 34 and all I can say is, 'IS THAT IT?!" With the way people were making a big deal out of it, I thought he was supposed to be a main guest star for the episode, not some random civilian that was on screen for the blink of an eye. That was completely pointless considering all of these Toku sites made a big deal out of it.

He was there for fan service and that was it.

I don't think Americans will take to ToQ's footage or toys. Trains are not that popular with children in the US. My guess is they'll skip it, but that's just a hunch.

It won't surprise me if skipping seasons becomes a pattern for skipping seasons.

The Ranger suits are also another point of contention, even among non-toku fans.
