Kind of weird how this worked out. the Zyuranger suits are objectively the goat suits and the dinosaur motif was awesome and I don't think the show gets as big as it does without the dino motif. Zyu also has a lot of interacting with kids which probably helped. The Dairanger fights are so much better and stylistically Dairanger and Kakuranger are more inline with the karate stuff than Zyuranger which was more weapons based fighting. fucking shame they don't have a dub. Dairanger is based but watching subs is exhausting and annoying

>>214539841>Zyuranger suits are objectively the goat suitsNo they're not. I get they became iconic because they were THE Power Ranger suits, but the jester diamond pattern looks dumb, the helmets are nowhere near the best in the series, and even the theme was all over the place (mammoth and sabertooth tiger with dinosaurs and godzilla?). Dairanger had better helmets and a better realized theme. Hell, Jetman's suits were a million times better than Zyuranger's suits and that's why Saban initially wanted to use them.
>>214539841>Dairanger is based but watching subs is exhausting and annoyingLearn2moonrune>>214540245Better than Zyu's goofy style but I get that Zyu was easier to adapt in a kid friendly way.
>>214540267>No they're not.Convincing an mmprfag of this is a sisyphian task unfortunately
>>214540267>>214540435are you a zoomer? the Dinosaur motifs were based as fuck and mmpr came out only a few months after jurassic park and dinos and the space shuttle were huge at the time
>>214540670Wow, idgaf. I was born 3 years after it came and I learned to move the fuck on.
>>214539841What's with the really thick necks on those Zyu suits? That shit looks awkward.
>>214540670Not a zoomer, was the target age for MMPR as it came out, watched it all till Time Force, am fully aware of the dino craze, and my points still stand. Dino craze doesn't mean jester diamond patterns work and half the suits aren't dinos anyway. And just because Zyu's suits cashed in on a craze doesn't make them better nor is it an excuse to half ass the theme, stuff like Magiranger also cashed in on the Harry Potter craze and the suits make more sense (and are among the many suits that look better than Zyu's harlequin mess). Even as a kid I vastly preferred the Zeo suits.>>214540435Looks like that, yeah.

It's honestly sad to be this autistic about one mid as fuck PR season

>>214541564>you are cryingIt's funny when you try to insist someone is a zoomer when you act like an actual child when someone doesn't agree with your nostalgiafagging. Prove to me that the suits are better than the others without referring to how dinosaurs were popular and your nostalgic attachment to them.
>>214541599dinosaurs are cooler than geometric shapes and every suit after in space looks like ass
The suits are nice but I wish they stopped making unnecessary changes to them
You guys are like 35 years old. It's time to stop talking about Power Rangers
>>214542875Dairanger is legit kino
>>214540935You're either projecting your adult feelings onto your child self, or you're autistic. Although given you said you watched up to Time Force you are late 30s to early 40s now and were still watching PR when you were 12-17, so maybe you were. Regardless, normal kids did not make that connection about jesters. The diamond patterns are a great use of negative space and keep the suits colorful without being solid, it's the same reason I like the GoGoV/Lightspeed suits. I love the Dairanger suits but I always thought the white vests made the suits themselves look too plain, and the badge looks silly. The Jetman suits do look amazing, but nothing was gonna top dinos stateside. Not enough dinosaurs in the dinosaur theme was definitely a popular opinion back then so I'll agree with you on that. I love the Dairanger helmets, those are the best part of those suits, but they aren't enough on their own.
>>214543893>GoGoV/Lightspeed suitsTop 5 suits honestly
it's crazy how kino most of the fights in the sentai are
Guys, guys, look, I agree that Dairanger's visuals and aesthetics and designs are top tier, but can we please stop acting like the show itself overall is any good? It's one of the dumbest, most infuriating shows I've ever seen (Sentai/PR or otherwise) and is easily the weakest of the Zyu/Dai/Kaku trio. It's full of stupid shit and contradictions to the point it feels like it was written by someone with split personality disorder.>Why does Shadam allow himself to be bossed around and punished by the Emperor, and allow the Emperor to favor Akomaru, when the Emperor is just a puppet created and controlled by Shadam?>Why is Kou never around unless the episode is specifically about Kou?>Why do the Three Idiots have the same episode over and over again and then when they say the Dairangers have finally convinced them to turn good, we never see them again?>That one martial arts guy goes around murdering everyone in sight but then the resolution to that plot is Ryuuranger decides he just needs a friend.>Master Kaku decides to pretend to turn evil without telling the Dairangers that it's just a trick but then gets mad that the Dairangers try to stop him because now he's evil and he didn't tell them that it's just a trick.>And while I don't remember exactly what it was as it's been a while since I watched Dairanger, I remember something with Kou's mother being really stupid, too. Like she cursed Kou for no reason but then was sad he was cursed, or something.Zyuranger may not have been perfect but at least it was fucking coherent.
>>214544998dairanger is kino

>>214545361>C'mere, Rangers, I wanna carve my initials in your Zord!>Well, what are you waiting for? An ENGRAVED invitation?
>>214540935>Dino craze doesn't mean jester diamond patterns work and half the suits aren't dinos anyway.Are you fucking stupid?Here is a 30 year old newsflash. It's not "jester diamond patterns" you idiot. The diamonds are supposed to represent reptilian scales of dinosaur skin.I can't believe you never got that.
>>214545361i like how this is literally every jidaigeki film ever with some sci-fi shit
>>214545261No, the designs of the Ranger suits, the mechs, and some of the monsters of the week are kino. As an overall show, Dairanger is hot ass garbage.
>>214545361top tier kino
>>214545632literally every fight was top tier kino >the show didn't make sensedon't care, the visuals were pure kino
>>214545649The fact that you're satisfied with jingling keys doesn't mean the rest of us are, anon.
>>214545827>no, this kino show isn't super kino because I didn't understand the plot
>>214540935>Even as a kid I vastly preferred the Zeo suits.um no, you didn't
>>214545861>Japanese Power Rangers, known throughout the world for its outstanding writing, is far too deep and intellectual for someone to understand all the layers and intricacies and plot twists>It just being badly written is apparently not an option
>>214545672Based
>>214546043>>Japanese Power Rangers, known throughout the world for its outstanding writing, is far too deep and intellectual for someone to understand all the layers and intricacies and plot twistsAnyone who says this has never watched sentai. My first step back into watching toku was Kyuranger and it was incredibly silly. I liked the story about 12 heroes taking back their universe from the manifestation of bad luck, but the time travel plot was very dumb. Although, it's what got me to embrace sentai's sillyness.Also, the shows are literally selling you toys. The transformation devices and weapons are literally just toys Toei is advertising to kids. They even throw in the toy commercials during the ad breaks. It's shameless as fuck and I love it.
>>214546043nah, it's top tier kino, amazing art direction and choreography and cinematography
>>214545672>>214546209Cute, Lost Galaxy was the best season IMO
>>214546243>>214546318None of this shit has anything to do with what I'm talking about. I'm fine with silly plots, obviously Sentai/PR is about selling toys, and if "amazing cinematography" is the best thing you can say about a Sentai season, that's honestly kind of sad. But I'm not talking about any of that shit, I'm saying Dairanger is BADLY. WRITTEN. Stop talking about fight scenes, that has nothing to do with anything.
>>214546389dairanger is full of kino as fuck scenes, like the tiger zord being born. fucking blade runner is a shitty boring movie with terrible writing but people like it because it looks cool
>>214545672Tummy
>>214540878Saban had their own set of suits made for the Rangers to use for S2 on, for some reason they all had these gigantic overinflated necks (and Green's Dragon Shield was swapped with a cheap as fuck fabric copy). They also fucked up the chest pattern but that's less noticeable without the suits right next to each other
Best sentai season. Pure sovl.
>>214546778>cgi sloppalmao, no thanks
>>214546805Filtered
>>214547067the stuff they shot on film was kino because it had good choreography and film looks good, I shan't watch the digislop
>>214547101You barely notice it when you're watching it, you're really missing out by not watching
>>214547217nah, I've seen clips of the newer stuff with the digital effects and it looks like pure ass
>>214547379You'll never experience pvre sovl....sad
>>214546674>They also fucked up the chest pattern but that's less noticeable without the suits right next to each othergot an example?
If this is also just a sentai thread, Gaoranger is my favorite. The Hyakujuuken is my favorite combined weapon, the poses are cool, and the arc with Rouki and Ura really sealed it.
>>214545672>>214546209
>>214547816>HyakujuukenI used to want the toy of this so fucking bad when I was watching wild force but they weren't selling it in my country, fucking stupid
Ive never seen the show but I've been reading the Power Rangers comics and they are phenomenal.
>>214545361kwab
>>214548191how far did you get, because a faggot starts writing it at some point before it got canceled. I remember preferring go go but I think I dropped both books when battle for the grid started and then they hired faggot ass sina grace and he pulled a sina special and got the book canceled in within a year
Bump
>>214548191don't you mean morphenomenal
>>214548436It got better after the relaunch when Parrott started writing both books.
>>214546031>you didn'tDid too, Zeo just looked cooler>gold accents everywhere>ancient looking patterns on the gold rim>shapes that matched the ultra powerful crystal that had been an ongoing plot point for a whole season>zords based on mythological stuff like sphynxes and phoenixes>Jason as the gold ranger to cement the awesome look>the Machine Empire footage looked way more menacing than Rita and Zedd's moon base (even if they ultimately sucked too)The "Alien Rangers" suits looked like shit but Zeo was always awesome. And I also preferred the S2 zords to the S1 zords, loved how fluid they looked when the thunder hit them and they transformed.
>>214549526it's still funny to me that they gave sina a faggot book, he got it canceled in less than a year and then when marvel fired him he went on tumbler to seethe about it and said they fired him for being a faggot. like he must be a turbo faggot. I'm still mad they got rid of gogo, early mmpr team with no tommy and a jason trini romance was based
ENTER
>>214549582the gold ranger is cool, I preferred the dino helmets. I heard the sentai zeo is based on starts off cool but then went to shit due to an irl terrorist attack mid season
>>214549582>>the Machine Empire footage looked way more menacing than Rita and Zedd's moon base (even if they ultimately sucked too)I've always loved how the Machine Empire was supposed to be the worst of the worst but the two most powerful monsters of the season were created by Zedd and Rita.
>>214549582Yeah, Zeo was cool. The first megazord was awesome, the sphynx one, the second one was kind of lame though, looked too much like a little kids toy, the individual ones work okay heck the red and blue ones are actually pretty cool but once combined they look kind of dumb. And yeah the machine empire footage was dope, that was big movie franchise tier designs right there.
>>214542924Which seasons from "Classic" (Zordon era and a few seasons later maybe up to SPD) PR do you consider the better ones? Also, how would you rank their Sentai counterparts?
>>214549713It’s a weird choice they gave that Bomber Robot a Bronx accent, but it somehow works
>>214549762I really don't remember MMPR and I've only seen most of dairanger and some of kakuranger and zyuranger. dairanger and kakuranger both look kino as fuck. kakuranger has the super kino, they literally stop the episode for the narrator to show up in the flesh and talk directly to the audience and the actors like in g gundam
>>214549665>I heard the sentai zeo is based on starts off cool but then went to shit due to an irl terrorist attack mid seasonThat's more of an urban legend than fact. The subway nerve gas attack occurred early on the season and it coincided with a shift in tone (the first eps were darker with a global invasion by the machines) but the shift wasn't because of the attack. It was because Ohranger was an anniversary season and as such they brought in a bunch of writers, each with a different style and focus. The season never really goes to shit but it is very uneven and all over the place in tone because of that.Still it sold a shitton of toys because it did have dope designs.
>>214539841If you see it as a prepubescent child it is quite entertaining, it also works if you suffer from some cognitive dysfunction.
>>214549929the uncut fight choreography from the sentai is usually pretty kino, at least during the film eras, troon
>>214549714>And yeah the machine empire footage was dope, that was big movie franchise tier designs right there.This shot where one of the ships would lead the camera into the industrial area around the palace while a bunch of cogs would train was pretty imposing and, combined with the shorts about the invasion and Zordon hyping the Empire up in the premiere, really sold the idea that these were way more serious enemies than Rita and Zedd. And then they ended up being a bunch of goofballs that barely did a thing.Zeo is kinda like that in general though. Looks cool as hell, the music is awesome, the cast tries, but other than the Gold Ranger stuff, the whole thing never really goes anywhere. MMPR did end up with a ballsy miniseries and for all the shit it has, Turbo's second half at least went SOMEWHERE (to space kek). But Zeo's kinda just there, and that's a shame.
>>214545261I had fond memories for dairanger, also their group finishing moves are literally simultaneous hadouken
>>214549582Loved the original suits in the background, Zeo (and Turbo) had the coolest command center. Kudos to Divatox for blowing it up I guess.
>>214549665>>214549906Honestly, my opinion of Ohranger was that it was a bit on the boring side (it takes like ten episodes before it introduces the Megazord) and it's a little TOO serious at first. But once it finds its groove (by the time it introduces Red Puncher, give or take), it becomes much more enjoyable. Even more so once it starts introducing Kingranger, Bomber the Great, Gunmajin, Kaiser and Multiwa, etc.
>>214550263>(it takes like ten episodes before it introduces the Megazord) and it's a little TOO serious at first.that sounds based though. the dairanger fight where they only have the dragon was based
>>214550068Say, who do you think can defeat the Power Rangers?Highly organized machine army that has conquered entire galaxiesORJilted pirate thot armed solely with pettiness and a cleavage that won't quitThe answer might shock you!
>>214545491>The diamonds are supposed to represent reptilian scales of dinosaur skin.I've heard they were supposed to represent dinosaur fangs.Either answer is idiotic as mammoths don't have scales or fangs lol
>>214549618Is there any kind of meaning to the different clock hand shapes in the sentai or are they just random shapes cause they gotta be different? Still a sick design, one of the few that makes the sculpted lips work imo.
>>214541131>shitty 2000s suits looks goodBut Magiranger looks slick as hell. I always liked how the helmets kept the Ohranger numbering thing, this time to number the siblings (fold the design in half in you have green=1 horn, pink=2 wings, blue=3 scales, yellow=4 feathers, red=5 feathers)
>>214550327It's not based, anon. It's not "It takes a while for the Megazord to show up but there are some great fights with the Red Ranger's Zord" - The Zeo Zords don't have a badass warrior mode single Zord. There are just no Zord fights at all for the first 8-10 episodes. I'm all for not introducing the Zords immediately but Ohranger takes it a little too far.
>>214550651too much going on
>>214550851Compared to stuff like Zyu with its eyes, ears, nostrils, teeth, trunks, visors, and sculpted mouths Magiranger's helmets are very minimalistic. Only stuff like Kaku or GoGo-V are more minimalistic than Magi.
>>214550991zyu looks cool and isn't overly designed
>>214551081You've got to be trolling or blind(ed by nostalgia lmao) to seriously argue that Magi's "too much going on" while Zyu isn't.
>>214551113the 2000s sloppa looks like gay over designed zoomer shit and the zyu helmets look like classic dinosaur motifs
>>214551081>zyuranger's helmets have tiny eyes and visor is the mouth but also the eyes and you have a sculpted mouth below the beast mouth, also everyone has ears and hors and million details>magiranger has a visor, accent lines around it, and nothing else>magiranger is overly designed and zyuranger isn't
>>214545672>>214546209Charlie Brown looking outfit
>>214551161>gay over designedLiterally the mastodon and dragonzord helmets kek
>>214551238Which way, white man?
>>214551238Why doesn't Sentai have villainesses like this anymore?
>>214551373Well, Gozyuger has Bouquet, but it's just not the same.
>>214549859>KakurangerOne of my favorites, the intro has that "Big in Japan" (the song from the 80's) vibe to it, and I love that. The show in general is very cinematic, like emulating Kurosawa movies and Westerns sometimes, and the effects while clearly old have a certain charm to it, i dont know there's a certain look to it with like the grain and practical effects that just look "right" also that I had that "Megazord" when I was little so there's some nostalgia attatched to it for me.
>>214550068>Zeo is kinda like that in general thoughYeah, I happen to have watch Oh-Ranger, looks like it wasn't well received in Japan. Funny how Dai Ranger wasn't really adapted here (other than the White Ranger suit and Megazords) and that one was one of the best seasons from that time whereas Zyuranger and Ohranger were apparently just meh.
>>214551587it was a bit goofy, but I loved how they did the shuriken throwingjust waving their hands before the camera cuts, and then the shuriken stick in, one at a time
>>214551666Conversely, Carranger was a big hit while Turbo was seen as a low point. It wasn't until the post-Zordon era that they started doing more straight adaptations and thus the PR/sentai season counterparts were usually received on par with one another.
>>214551271She married the actor who played the Red Time Force Ranger.
>>214551176keep coping and seething. the zyu helmets look great. you are a zoomer and a gay retard >>214551362eat shit and 41% yourself
>>214551161classic dinosaur motifs like a mastodon, sabretooth tiger and a dragon
>>214551218those both look based and cool>>214551484dairanger fight scenes are so fucking good
>>214551587yeah the film they used and the effects looks so fucking good compared to modern digisloppa
>>214551666dairanger is based as fuck but going from dinosaurs to china themed in the early 90s wouldn't have worked >>214551833yeah, they were based
>>214539841nice try rainbow space cop. hahahaha. but no.OG are great but personally Dino and SPD are a better watch.
>>214551238Cute >>214551373Same reason any non hardcore ecchi anime show is toned down nowadays
>>214551177Soulful outfit
>>214547481Sovlmonly lives in practical effects
>>214551177It’s big chomping teeth
>>214552169>Same reason any non hardcore ecchi anime show is toned down nowadays...I don't know why that is. Did Japan get a stick up its ass or something?
>>214540267I...disagree.
>>214551884What really bugs me is why they called the Tenma and Kirin mechs the Unicorn and Griffin zords. When looking at them, the blue one has wings and the yellow one has a horn, so wouldn't it have been more logical to call them "Pegasus" and "Unicorn" respectively?
>>214552902>...I don't know why that is. Did Japan get a stick up its ass or something?Most Anime is aired to a global audience now via Crunchyroll, Netflix, or other streaming service. A LOT of anime made in Japan is also funded by Western companies now.So Japan has to tone down the ecchi and Japanese humor about nudity. All to avoid offending some Western countries.The days of 1980s and 1990s anime being made only for a Japanese audience (that loves funny nude jokes) is long over.
>>214539841Loved them in 28 years later
>>214552964The blue one also has a horn, anon. And unicorn's horns point forward, not back. Plus, don't some unicorns have wings? Or is a horse with a horn AND wings a third mythical creature entirely?
>>214552964>>214553722Also, the yellow one seems to have the same sort of "wings" on its sides that the blue one does, so... Honestly, I don't know what the fuck kind of animal the yellow one is. At least I can KINDA see "unicorn" in the blue one. You could say the yellow one is a goat and it'd be about as accurate.
>>214553750It's a kirin (qilin in Chinese). Which is also what giraffes are called in Japanese, but this is a mythical creature. It'd be like if after we found narwhals, we just actually named them mermaids. Griffin doesn't match up 100% but at least your parents could say "Oh, it's some sort of lion thing?" Instead of having no clue with kirin.
>>214540267>jester diamond pattern>>214540935>jester diamond patternsThey're the teeth of a dinosaur, you fucking retard.>B-but mammoths---Sentai are uniformly designed and nobody gives a shit you whiny little bitch.
is King-Ohgers a good one? i've never seen an actual sentai show before but i picked that out from the wiki cause the suits look cool.
>>214554017Yeah, it's great all the way through, and builds to a fantastic finale.
>>214554017It's one of the best actually. So long as yoi can stomach the CG backgrounds they use.
>>214554017It became an instant favorite, and is really really good. But it's also really different from most Sentai. Most Sentai is episodic and King-Ohger is heavily serialized. It takes place mostly in a different planet that is made up of five fantasy kingdoms so they use a lot of CGI backgrounds which aren't exactly top tier quality (though they are also very stylized which may diminish the unreality of them, if you just think of them as theatre sceneries). Has one of the best cast and set of characters in the franchise. The black one, Kaguragi Dybowski, is one awesome motherfucker.
>>214539841You're a fucking loser lmao
>>214540670Only zoomers use words they don't understand, zoomer. Look up what 'based' means before you out yourself again, dumbfuck.
>>214554017It's essentially a live action anime season of Sentai. Fairly strong overall.
>>214540267I love the Jetman suits. My favorite suit is Gokaiger though.
>>214540245whoa that was kino chat
>>214553860Yeah, looking at the yellow Zord now, that's totally a giraffe. The main problem with it being a griffin is that some times griffins have a lion's head and some times they have a bird's head, but the yellow Thunderzord clearly has neither.
>>214553722>>214553750>And unicorn's horns point forward, not backCome on now anon, everyone knows that, no need to go full Captain Obvious.I think what you view as a horn is supposed to be its mane, but hey, we'll never know.>Plus, don't some unicorns have wings? Or is a horse with a horn AND wings a third mythical creature entirely?From what I remember in medieval legends and chansons de geste, I don't think I saw a mention of a winged unicorn, but I may be wrong. I think that in MLP, they call winged unicorns "alicorns", but that's that, it won't really help us.
