I'm not saying one is worse than the other but Super Sentai snobbery and the near bullying of Power Rangers fans to kneel before the Super Sentai originals really really angers me.

And vice versa irritates me. Well, not vice versa, just talking about Power Rangers in general.

I can personally say I've never met Power Rangers elitists, from my experiences Power Rangers fans largely keep to themselves while they get hounded by Super Sentai elitists. Although I am sure it happens the other way round.

That is largely what put me off of anime, maybe that is petty on my part, but you can't really watch those shows without dragging the culture behind it and I despised the culture with all my being.

If talking about Power Rangers irritates you, then why do you intentionally go around talking about PR?

It's like me kicking down the door to the KR Decade appreciation club and expecting to not get pissed off from what I see and hear

I hate those kind of people as well, just because you have the freedom of speech, doesn't mean you should go running around spreading your hate.

Because I am powerless over bold text.

Speaking of which, thank god there isn't a Decade appreciation thread

I can understand that. To me, it's the overhyping of anime as a whole that get me out of it, since none of them lived up to the standards and expectations set for me by everyone who watched them.

In any other season of Power Rangers, I'd be forgiving and kind of non-chalant about production desicions. But in a 20th Anniversary season where the company APPROACHED the fans to hype it up? Taking an easy and cheap route seems "slap in the face", and to excuse people being upset as "omg whiny fans" is rather offensive and hypocritical.

There is once again the whole notion that anime is just high-brow cartoons, once again ignoring all the faults and the fact that often anime is just as outsourced as cartoons are but they have smaller budgets to begin with so it's even more poorly animated as well.

Not that one is better than the other but are weaboos really so insecure that they have to ram their shows into peoples faces who are just trying to mind their own business?

They are the internet equivalent of those callers who want to talk about Jesus.

This. Just this.

Everytime I watch any Sentai show on Youtube, there's always people bashing on Power Rangers and they always seem to feel the need to patronize anybody who loves PR regardless of its flaws as well as saying on how Super Sentai is far better than Power Rangers in almost everything despite of the fact there're two very separate franchises where one of the only things they have in common is the use of the action footage and that SS are not without their problems as well. Then again, this is the kind of thing I should expect out of a lot of Youtube commenters and I am a bit of an idiot for expecting some form of maturity from at least a little more than half of the people of that site. :/

Personally, I think that not everything in Super Sentai is better than Power Rangers. Hell, there are actually several things in where Power Rangers are, arguably, better than Super Sentai. This is kind of attitude that a lot of Sentai fans seem to have I wanted to avoid in having especially since Power Rangers actually played a huge part in my childhood and I still love this franchise even in this day and age and I have absolutely no regrets in having a season and a half on DVD nor having every season up until Megaforce, since it's currently ongoing, on Netflix instant viewing queue and you can be sure as hell that I'll watch the remaining episodes of Megaforce and all of Super Megaforce once they air and even if the episodes do end up being crappy nor is it even in the standards of their better seasons, it will not change my overall view of the franchise.

I have honestly felt this a lot. I am a major Power ranger fan and I will admit I have not been able to catch as much sentei as Id like to but at the same time I dont find TOO much of a reason to go out of my way to check out sentei when I enjoy rangers so much but I dont get why I have to be belittled and bullied for it
