 I have some Power Rangers nostalgia, but only for the first 2.5 seasons or so.  MMPR nostalgia helps me enjoy Zyuranger more than I would otherwise, but I don't think Zyuranger is one of the better Super Sentai series I've tried (only watched maybe 6 or 7 episodes of Zyuranger).   
	I got into Super Sentai because one of my friends got into Gokaiger and insisted I try to watch some. When I finally relented, I ended up watching Shinkenger and Gekiranger in like 3 weeks. Now I'm hooked.  |

 I first planned on watching Super Sentai when we weren't going to be getting more Power Rangers, watching the seasons that wouldn't be adapted. When I was finally about to start, it was announced that we were getting more Power Rangers, and I cancelled those Sentai viewing plans. A couple years later, and dissatisfaction with Neo-Saban along with not knowing how long it would take to get to Power Rangers adaptations, I started watching Super Sentai, anyway. I started working my way backwards and, after a little while, jumped to Jetman. That and Liveman were the two seasons that stuck out to me, looking at suits and mecha when I first looked up Super Sentai online, nearly 16 years ago. I've seen a lot of people saying interest in Zyuranger is what got them started on Sentai. It held the least interest for me. I was going to put it off for even longer, but I've watched it. After seeing numerous seasons, I feel foolish for thinking it would feel redundant to watch a Power Rangers adaptation and its Sentai source. I find it interesting to learn things I didn't know, but I don't think I feel nostalgic. They feel more compartmentalized than I thought was possible. I saw a Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers DVD set in the store while I was in the middle of Kakuranger, and my first thought was, "Hey, Alien Rangers!"  |

 None, really. I don't really have much nostalgia for PR series beyond Turbo, In Space, and Time Force. So when I watch a Sentai that I've seen the PR version of, I don't really connect the two and the nostalgia goggles allow me to enjoy it more than I would. I still find Megaranger to be painfully unmemorable and Dekaranger to be just...Average. 
	When it came to getting into Sentai in the first place, well...Shinkenger was the first I tried, and that was while it was airing, so I didn't have any real nostalgia for it.  | 
		
 I grew up on Power Rangers, but I have surprisingly little nostalgia for it. Because despite being deeply, deeply obsessed with it since it debuted when I was in 3rd grade, part of me always hated the show in equal measure (honestly, I feel like if I didn't hate PR a little bit, I wouldn't have become nearly as obsessed with it-- so much of my obsession is rooted in imagining all the ways it could've been better... if that makes any sense). 
	As a youngster, I'd fantasize about a parallel world where Power Rangers wasn't just watered down pablum for American toddlers. Being half-Japanese, I always knew that Power Rangers was based on a Japanese show, but it wasn't until I got the internet in 6th grade that I discovered all the nuances of Sentai. And I was stunned to discover that Sentai provided a window into the alternate universe I longed for since Power Rangers debuted. The fantasies were real! The Power Rangers concept, when treated with respect, really could be as satisfying as I always imagined. And after discovering Sentai, I kinda dropped Power Rangers and never looked back. It's been so long since that happened that I think I probably have more nostalgia for Sentai than PR at this point.  | 
		
 Whe could have another mecha like ginga-bitus ?

 Power Rangers nostalgia in no way affects my enjoyment or lack thereof of Sentai. They're separate shows. I love Timeranger, and I love Time Force, but for different reasons.

 Not saying that we can't get more, though. With the cube animals, it would actually be rather easy to design a carrier for Zyuoh.  |
