First Sentai Series

Red5 · 08-02-2015, 09:28 PM

Saw this in the KR thread, so I thought I would ask here.

What was your first Super Sentai season? What was your reaction to it? Did it make you want to watch more sentai?

My first was Shinkenger and I watched it while I watched Power Rangers Samurai. Completely by accident. Needless to say, I was surprised at how much overlap there was. I instantly wanted to watch more sentai and compare it to older PR seasons. I also found myself more invested in the story than I was in Samurai and the most recent PR seasons at that time. I enjoyed it immensely and went back and watched Go-Onger (since I just re-watched RPM before Samurai) and got a huge kick out of how different the shows were.

Zyuranger for me, just cuz of the PR association.

Well the first I ever saw any episodes of was Megaranger. But the first series I ever watched beginning to end was Hurricanger. And yes, oh boy yes did it get me hooked.

Gaoranger in 2002 on VHS. I had no idea it was Super Sentai, just Power Rangers in Japanese. It was not until I discover Super Sentai on the Wikipedia in 2004. I didn't really watch Sentai until 2012 with Gokaiger.

My first was Shinkenger. And boy was it a bore. I really did not want to watch more of it after I hit episode 20-ish.
Then it was Magiranger. Didn't feel it. Stopped after 5 or so episodes.
Then I tried Boukenger. I dropped it around 10.

I heard rumors of the upcoming Gokaiger, which was gonna be the ultra reunion equivalent of Decade. To prepare myself, I decided to get a little knowledge in this time.
And that's when the lights shined down from the heavens, and into my hands Celestia bestowed upon to me

The first Sentai I watched beginning to end, my absolute favorite, and the only series I'll call excellent~

My first sentai series was gekiranger and I found it while looking up episodes of powers jungle fury on YouTube.

My second was the excellent and perfect example of an anniversary series gokaiger. This is my favorite sentai to this day and I hope that if more space themed sentai come out that they meet the gokaigers

Kagaku Sentai Dynaman was my first. Went back from there as best as I could in the days before the internet and followed what I could after that up till Gekisou Sentai Carranger which is when I stopped watching sentai shows for quite a bit.

I have watched other shows post Carranger in the last couple of years.
