Was classic PR laughably bad- yes but that's also what makes it lovable.

Are there issues story wise that arose from trying to force like 10 diverse stories into 1 narrative- Definitely.

I mean Lost Galaxy is a great example of some of PR trying to keep things connected kinda biting itself in the rear. The story kind of falls apart big time. Oh its some huge number of light years away- somehow the space rangers just happen to visit terra venture? Despite them establishign that they were to far from earth to return or for any rescue crew to arrive- hell they had the Astro Megaship so how did the mega rangers get there?

Once they stopped trying to connect everything so clearly it seemed to pick up.. of course there are always going to be ups and downs.


As for the idea of scene matching- yes they do this from time to time. IN fact this was one of the things used to explain the poor quality of - was it megaforce or super megaforce. I know i read something about the show runner wanting to recreate scenes to match as perfectly as possible whic blew through a good deal of the budget- so while SMF gave us that lovely digital edit of the all red Gokai change in ep 1 or so... they were more or less forced to use the "new powers" because the budget to shoot new footage or edit stuff was just not there.

And yes some people dont like subs- dubs are options of course hell i dont think i would of even given any Ultraman series a shot if it wasn't for the Fox Box Utlraman Tiga dub. And Iron Chef is a great show- its dub was fun, a bit stiff at times but still.

But hell while stuff like TimeForce was good mostly being a 1:1 with TimeRanger. Samurai which was pretty close to a 1:1 with Shinkenger, well that just didn't work as well.

And then theres the shows that go in a totally original direction- NinjaSteel was lets be real a poor exectuion i feel i do like the idea of the game show thing in fact Zyuohger kinda showed it could work even if they didnt televise it the idea was there. But Beast Morphers was pretty solid, as was RPM.

In fact sometimes i've seen people complain about Go-Onger just being too goofy... RPM went for a much more serious tone, post apocalyptic theme when the source material is full of talking cartoon cars?
