France Five
 

Shin Kenjuushi France Five (formerly Juushi Sentai France Five) is a fan-made tokusatsu series created in France as an homage to Super Sentai. The first episode went online in 2000, but most people consider episode 2 to be the true debut due to the change in costume design. Like Super Sentai, France Five has its own motif, which is based on French culture.

The opening and ending themes of the first three episodes were based on those of Choudenshi Bioman and Choujin Sentai Jetman, respectively. In episode 4, famed anime/tokusatsu singer Akira Kushida (Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan, Uchuu Keiji Gavan) recorded an original opening theme for the show.

To date, a total of four episodes were released from 2000 to 2004, ending in a cliffhanger. Reportedly, the final episode will be released this year.

Oh yeah I love these guys, they are funny as heck :D

Been anticipating the final ep. My favorite thing about this series is how it progresses technically with each episode. The improvements being quite drastic (and dramatic) at times. It's a shame it has to even end.

The only really sad thing about this series is that it never ended properly. Episode 5 was never produced. That was very disappointing.

Any news on the final episode?

Dammit areaseven, look at the other threads before you post. Now you've made me feel bad...

EDIT: Shit, i just realized i should take my own advice...Sorry. :o

Here's a Japanese interview with the creators of France Five:

Sorry broskies... merging this thread.

Reports say that the final episode will be uploaded on YouTube by June 6.

BTW, as I got a bunch of extra Gashapon Ranger Keys, I'll be doing a custom Red Fromage key as a tribute later this year.

And here it is: the not-so-final episode. "Adieu France Five ! Le jour de gloire est arrivé!"

france five 's open song is ridoff of bioman opeing song

Only for episodes 1-3, as Akira Kushida recorded an original song that the show has used since episode 4. Also, the ending theme of episodes 1-4 uses the tune of Jetman's "Kokoro wa Tamago", while the episode 5 ending theme appears to be an original composition.
