This talk of Alata to Marvelous has me wondering just how much they'll have to change the characters. It's not hard to distinguish their personalities from their fighting styles, is it?

Red looks like a bad ass, Pink and Yellow are pretty hot (better than the samurai rangers), and Blue looks like a clown. I'll judge once I see the first episode.

Erika and Brittany's problem wasn't their appearance. I thought they were very pretty, anyway. It was acting ability.

And on that. Maybe they shouldn't be completely to blame on that front. Maybe the reason it sounds like kids reciting a play, is because they aren't acting. They're just reading directly from the Shinken script.

This years cast and what little we've heard from the direction Saban intends to take gives me good vibes about Megaforce. Really, the only problems I had with Samurai were the story, acting and dialogue. Fix those three and we'll have a great series with beautiful visuals and awesome action.

if u take those three things out all there is is japanese footage

Precisely why Samurai was accused of being a Shinkenger translation. So, here's hoping Megaforce could improve on that.

I am surprised by how attractive Yellow and Pink are. If the acting's decent I may start watching.
