Blind hatred is a silly thing for sure. I have nothing against those who tried the series out and decided it wasn't for them, but I can't agree with those who simply go "Well it's PR so it's crap by default and nothing good could ever come of it"

I am well aware there are a handful of people on this board who have that viewpoint. Inwhichcase I can only say that I hope you all don't have a problem with people directing that sort of attitude at things that you love.

I never could get into Power Rangers as a kid. I don’t know why because I took to Sentai and Rider immediately. Even now I still haven’t bothered to give Power Rangers a proper watch. Despite my original dislike and current neutral feelings, I don’t detest the franchise and have no desire to see it crash and burn. I want it to do well.

I don't, but being derogatory towards someone else for liking something society deems obscure or childish very much doesn't suit us well.

Which is exactly why I would never think lower of anyone for watching Power Rangers.

Sometimes I'll just randomly think of USA-branded DragonRanger saying "You think you can take our American Powerful Rangers, and turn it into your Super Sentai?" and it'll make my day a little brighter. We didn't deserve Akibaranger.

LOL, was that TOEI making fun of Saban? (never seen Akibaranger)

It's Akibaranger, it's more of an affectionate jab than anything else. See also - Prism Ace, who is totally not Ultraman.

Also this is your friendly reminder Powerful Ranger figuarts technically exist but they'll never make the other Jetmans.

I like that the parts were just included with Tyrannoranger and Dragonranger's normal releases and were simply removed from the eventual MMPR releases in the west. It's just very funny to think about the alternate universe where they were included and PR fans who don't know about Akibaranger are just baffled.
