Thank you!! I'm glad I was able to get my feelings across. It's something I've been really bad with in the past.

I— I don't like to say this when I have so many nebulous plans floating around in my brain at any given time, but one of my ideas for a big Kuuga rewatch style thread that I've considered more than most is actually just one where I would go back through at least the first season of MMPR and just kinda ramble about how goofy and fun each episode is, like exactly how you did here, but almost certainly worse.

Do it.

No jokes, no sarcasm. DO IT MAN!

I'll take any excuse I can to rewatch MMPR again, hahaha!

This is a franchise that, as I mentioned at the start, I'm not consistently passionate about, but I very occasionally see this sort of elitist attitude crop up among toku fans that Power Rangers, and especially the MMPR days, is like this big embarrassment you're obligated to dismiss as cheesy kids stuff, despite that being exactly why most of us are here anyway, and I kinda wanted to do something to demonstrate that Mighty Morphin' was a phenomenon (and make no mistake, it was inescapably huge) for a legitimate reason, and that there was genuine value in that sugar rush of inspirational heroic energy and the simple positive values it always stressed, not in spite of how hopelessly silly it all was, but because of it.

Oh for sure! I think it certainly says something that even after all these years, the behind the scenes drama, how kid's' shows have evolved in general... Everyone involved in the production of the show, from the set crew, to the actors, to the writers, they all look back on the show fondly, and are overall proud of what they ended up creating. And they should be!

I think I've mentioned it before, but elitism from Sentai fans is part of what made me hold off on watching the Japanese side of Toku for so long. Also part of the reason I like you guys here at TN: I haven't seen much of that.

And I mean, just sayin', but if you wanted to make a thread doing opinionated Ranger Recaps or whatever, I'd be reading it in a heartbeat. You have an infectious love for this franchise I don't think I could hope to match. I know I literally just said this, but thank you for doing this whole countdown. I didn't end up having too much to say, but I really looked forward to each and every one of these posts over the past few weeks.

THANK YOU!! AGAIN!!!

While I certainly could gush about a ton of episodes in this franchise, I'm also juggling alot at any given time, haha. Got a bunch of Toku anime to promote afterall!

But, whenever I get in the mood to watch a specific episode, or someone else brings up something they wanna talk about, I'll definitely post about it here. Heck, I do still have those movies to watch, afterall!

Thanks for reading along, and I'm glad you got enjoyment out of seeing me gush for a month straight, hahaha.
