Hmm, curious now. Do you have a link to where you bought them from?

If its from Malaysia its likely bootleg.

I found 3 of them on eBay. Anyway I'll probably watch them to get to where I came in for streaming. (2007 - 2010) For me it gives me a chance to see them on my TV.

The problem with stream is that unless you watch the HD release there will be the picture jerk you sometimes get from reg def versions and also if your connection is slow too. Shout released Zyu (Beast) Ranger to Hurri which is 1992 - 2002 (4 years before the switch to HD in 2006.)

Magi was 2005 the last one filmed in SD.

The 30th was the change to HD.

My interest is in the ones up to 2006 when Toei started doing HD. So Magi will catch me up to that point.

It's been days after my last attempt failed yet again. Maybe because deep down I don't really want to go.

Thank goodness. I'm glad you're still here. Now please, for your own sake, get the help you need, okay bud?

Thanks but I have given up on reaching out for help since did that for 7 years and to no avail.

Even when I do have a support system eventually they'll grow tired and go away. And people say I have trust issues.

Have you tried getting a therapist? If not, do so. And if so, get a new one. It's a start if nothing else.

Did that and she said I can't rely on anybody to help. So I stopped talking to her and refuse to open up even more.

Give me a fucking cancer or something already.

Well I ordered through Magi and by the time I see Magi #49 going in order I figure we'd be clear of COVID 19. I'm on Kaku (Hidden) Ranger so I'm watching these 15 through Magi hoping to ride COVID out. It'll take part of 21 to get through Magi in any case. (Mid to late 21 to start it)

Get a new therapist.

But I will say this, and I know it might sound harsh, so I apologize in advance, but the first step with recovery does start with you.

And not only that, but the path to recovery is long and arduous. Like, we're talking super long and very mentally taxing. But regardless of that, the fact that you keep living on, and the fact you keep crying out for help shows you want to keep going.

Even if it's something other people would find small and stupid, if it keeps you going, it must be worth something. And in the end, you are the only one who can make yourself continue down the road.

So please, for your own sake, keeping fighting on, reach out to whatever support channels you can, get a new therapist, and try to prepare yourself for a long journey ahead. I can tell you from experience that by the end, you'll be so happy you did. Your mental health is important, not for anyone else's' sake, but first and foremost for your own well being. I'm sorry if any of this came off as an attack, and I hope you get what I'm trying to say despite me being absolutely horrible with words.

Nope I understand that. Doesn't change the fact that I'm unlucky though.

Luck is a dirty cheater. And having victory over someone who cheats is just all the more satisfying.

7 years though. Sometimes the flame just gonna go out anyway.

I wasn't joking when I said the road was really long and difficult. Nothing wrong with taking a breather every now and then, but don't just fully out and out give up.

Just give up on me already. If my friends wouldn't bother when I was admitted to ICU then some internet strangers shouldn't too.

Not happening. Get the help you need, because even if it seems like you don't believe it, you deserve it, and I think alot of us here would attest to that.

First off, yeah, I don't see us all doing that.

Second off, welcome back. I'm pretty relieved! These boards are better for you being a part of them.

Finally, please, consider reaching out to a professional again. There are free resources to get you started if you've been let down by experts in the past. There is no shame in reaching out when you're having suicidal thoughts, but make sure you're reaching out to someone who can give you the help you need. We care about you, we're your friends, but there's a limit to what help we can offer here. Trying to talk you through suicidal ideation on a tokusatsu fan forum... it's like asking a car mechanic to fix a jet engine. The scale of it is so much more than we've got the tools for, you know?

I'm, honestly, gutted that you're not finding the help you need when you clearly are asking people for it. I'd ask that you not give up, though, on yourself or in professionals. Please.

And why the hell would we give up on you? Or anybody for that matter? Listen. Life is precious. You might be surrounded by negative influences, but who hasn't? We all have our ups and downs.

Remember: life is a thorn bush full of roses. It sucks, but there are always good moments.

Oh, as for your therapist? Either she's inexperienced or she's a quack. I went through a lot of years with the mindset of 'don't ask for help'. Once I actually asked for help, all the answers came to me.

I remember in an earlier post you mentioned you also had autism? Word of advice: captalise on your strengths and improve on your weaknesses. Helped me a lot.

I'll pray for you if that'll reassure you. Just keep talking to us. Every member on this forum counts. It's called Tokunation for a reason.

EDIT: If it helps you, here's a few coping mechanisms that helped me a lot:
-Breathing techniques
-Go to a silent place
-Focus on pleasant thoughts (for me its either a flowery field or Gundams beating the crap out of each other)
-Reading
-Prayer (I'm religious so it helped me. Even if you're not religious, just putting this out there.)
-Take a break for a few seconds/minutes to be able to process your surroundings/tasks. Breathe and relax.

On a side note, there might be a certain food which affects you mentally. As a child I used to have anger issues on a regular basis until my doctor told my family to stop feeding me certain foods. Turns out my gut wasn't healthy enough to process gluten. Now i'm gluten-free and a lot less angrier. I'm not an expert on this subject but it's something you might want to chew on (pun intended). On a lighter note, soy makes me happier. No, i don't know how that works.

It is a fallacy to believe you cannot rely on others. The entirety of human existence proves otherwise. We survive through our communities and adapt to changes as groups, individually experiencing things alone when we choose, but ultimately we're all in this together.

Not getting any help doesn't make someone brave. True bravery is opening oneself up, being vulnerable, to others so that they can truly help and empower you. I say this from experience. 7 years of bad luck isn't really bad luck- it's perseverance, it's fighting, it's a win because you're still here.

It is true that you may consider the people here as internet strangers, but the willingness for strangers to build a community and support each other is proof positive that we can find good and help in each other. We can rely on others.

I may not have been here as long as other users, but I've posted stuff and I've seen you comment in response and it was awesome! You can often make someone's day without realizing it and that is a powerful thing.

Things are interesting.

Once I swap out
Operation Overdrive
Jungle Fury
Samurai
Mega Force Part 1
Super Mega Force
Beast Morphers
Dino Charge
Ninja Steel
Dino Fury

And add the 4 that got skipped by Saban and Hasbro I'll be fully phased out of Power Rangers.

Because your suffering nourishes me and keeps me young looking.
No don't hurt it, they just want to hug your neck and whispers sweet things into your ear while you sleep.
It's your new friend that should be arriving at your place very soon. That's why it took so long to reply because I had to make sure they all found their way to you guys.

Once I get the next two after Magi I'll be on the Samurai series which I streamed it before Power Rangers Samurai actually ran. Go On is shipping. Comes in August 6 at the earliest.

I saw the new Scooby Doo movie and it was not very good at all.

I've heard that the film was a mess, you have any deeper thoughts? I'd love to. Hear about it and your thoughts.

I did a review for it on LB - https://letterboxd.com/hellspawn28/film/scoob/

Sorry if this counts as advertising

Thanks! Yeah this makes sense.
Edit: this being your opinion.

Things have been absolute chaos at the warehouse I work at lately. My state is very likely going to shut down again, so we've been having a ton of orders coming in, ontop of it being summer(the 2nd busiest season) too. This has lead to mandatory 11-hour shifts across the board, meaning everyone's tired ontop of being stressed. Combine this with half my team getting fired for not showing up to work and you have a recipe for disaster.

Like, don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have the job I do, and the extra money ever since Quarantine started is nice, but like, OW MY EVERYTHING.

my buddy's father may be dying. i got a text earlier stating he was in the hospital and apparently has a brain bleed.

i've known him and his family since we were kids. Hard to picture losing him. I have no idea how to help my friend get through this.

And we room together too. if he has to move out I can't cover this place on my own and I don't think i can find a new place easily enough under normal circumstances, let alone the world as it is today. Of course I can't actually bring that UP right now because i'll just sound like a selfish asshole. i FEEL like a selfish asshole just for thinking it.


i don't know what to do....

I am so sorry to hear that Paladin. While I can't exactly do anything directly to help you, my thoughts are with you and your friend. I hope things improve soon.

Oh, man, I'm sorry for both of you. Physically, emotionally... hang in there. Anything a dude on the internet can do for you, please reach out.

I'm sorry to hear that Paladin. You have my condolences and I hope he recovers. Please stay strong. I find that helps both the person and the people around them.

Currently watching FF 8 The Fate Of The Furious with an hour left or so. The only movie of the 9 I missed (Including Hobbs And Shaw) as well as Ice Age 1 - 5. And Spider Man 6 Homecoming as well as Spider Man 7 Far From Home. After that I'll be caught up for new movies that I want to see.

Also watching episodes up to Go On for the Ranger series. After that I'll be on the pirate series and the 35th. I should be out of Go On before 2023. Resuming from Kaku.

Need the 2 series after Magi next.

Stupid mobile.

I've been where your friends family are. My godfather had a brain bleed (stroke) back in 15. He recovered (mostly, he wasn't exactly the same). But last year he had a blood clot and they put him on blood thinners, sadly this lead to another brain bleed. We lost him on March 21st last year. What I'm getting at is he can survive and come through relatively unscathed, but he will be changed. But there's also the instance where he may not.
My suggestion with the rooming situation is begin looking for other living accommodations on the chance of grave circumstances. Don't bring it up, just quietly look for another and have backups in case things get taken. Let them deal with their issue and you quietly deal with what you have to. And pray he recovers. Do whatever you can to be of help to him, show support, and be a friend. Because in the end, that's the best thing you can do.
