Toei could reuse old stuff from old sentais ?

Really the thing with Dekaranger's iffyness from what I know/read is that Deka kind of goes against the normal Sentai formula and is a very episodic series, and watching it currently, I personally think it's either a hit or miss season.

I love it however and it's definitely up with my favorite seasons, so yeah I'd recommend it; And plus if you liked SPD it's likely you will like Deka, they have similarities in them and it's one of the more "faithful" adaptations that PR has done. A big reason why I like Deka is that it's like SPD, one of my favorites. The Dekarangers and SPD rangers are also pretty similar in some qualities, not carbon copies but they share some personality traits.

Abaranger, Megaranger, Carranger and Gingaman are also great series to check out. I also recommend Shinkenger if your looking for something more modern.

No. I've seen it divided into eras by production teams, but there's no clear past/modern divide like there is in Rider. Probably because Sentai's never gone away for years like Rider has.

There isn't really a noticeable split like in Kamen Rider or Godzilla, but I usually separate Sentai into eras based on prevalence of CGi, with the "showa" era ending with Timeranger and the "Heisei" era starting with Gaoranger. Of course, that doesn't actually line up with the emperors, but still.

I feel like Gekiranger is as good a place as any to start.

How do those "guess and win" remote games during the credits work? Especially on a technical level? Do the Japanese keep some weird memory card game console type tech exclusive to their TVs and if, say, Sony pops the same model out over in the states they gut it so they can laugh at how those silly gaijin don't get magic super TVs?

Not sure this belongs here, but is the spring Zyuoh/Ghost crossover special actually part of the episodes of each series? That's what it's sounding like to me. I'm way behind on Ghost, so I guess I've got incentive to get caught up. Wish I'd known this a week ago. (I suppose I still don't know, but I'll assume until I do.)


That's a good split, because they certainly feel different. I'm assuming they used different cameras?


I have no idea, but I know interactive TV has been around in the UK for at least a decade and a half. I first heard of it a decade ago, watching British TV recordings from 2001 & 2002, and it blew my mind.

It's a non-canon Special. Gaim never brought up Trainbows after its crossover.

Yeah, based on the promo at the end of Zyuohger 06 it looks that way. Probably one or two episodes of both shows with crossover elements, sort of how Shinkenger and Decade did it in 2009.

Downloaded Zyuohger 06 and looked at the end and saw what you referred to. Definitely seems like Shinkenger/Decade crossover. Okay, it's gonna be a Ghost-filled week for me, then.
