Yeah just watched it too - it was fun, i liked the mario kart allusions racing the monster of the week on rainbow road before he grows etc... definitely nice to see real locations after KingOhger too (though ive only seen bits of it and i hear the story was decent) - Boonboomger feels like very classic Sentai in comparison to all the more off the wall stuff theyve tried latelyFirst episode of Boonboomgers was positively zany. I loved KingOhger but oh man is it nice to see some real locations again
I wanted to say that I saw someone I watch Sentai with share a tweet with that same complaint... then I checked back and realised that that tweet was probably yoursI really don’t like that the most prominent sub group is going with “Cranked-Up” as the TL for Bakuage. I normally love O-T and their work but I dunno, “Crank” just doesn’t work for me. So I’ve been editing all of my sub files to replace “crank” with “rev” because “Revved-Up Sentai BoonBoomger” sounds better to me.
That was probably me!!I wanted to say that I saw someone I watch Sentai with share a tweet with that same complaint... then I checked back and realised that that tweet was probably yours
I can kinda see where you're coming from, but I will always associate "rev up" with cardgames on motorcycles
Is this your” I can fix him” momentA dozen episodes into Jetman.
He's the worst. I love him.

I think the franchise is kinda-sorta dead on TV for the time being? Gotta wait and see what Netflix will do with it.Is there not going to be anything Power Rangers this year?
TV I mean
Cosmic Fury was a finale of sorts for the existing Power Rangers continuity, and in theory it's supposed to come back with a reboot next year.Is there not going to be anything Power Rangers this year?

Given the strikes delaying writing/development by a year pretty much etc... and Entwistle who is apparently behind the reboot/overseeing the new PR franchise on screen, is on the Karate Kid movie which is releasing at the end of this year... there's a showrunner in Jenny Klein but at this point (and strikes potentially on the way this year too), PR is going to be gone til 2026 at the earliest you have to assume, given nothing is planned for shooting this year.Cosmic Fury was a finale of sorts for the existing Power Rangers continuity, and in theory it's supposed to come back with a reboot next year.
boonboomger is very classic sentai - nothing too weird going on. Enjoying it a lot - definitely worth a watch.Damn, that sucks. Dino/Cosmic Fury was pretty good and now there's nothing. i might have to check what Super Sentai is up to these days. I stopped watching some years ago when they got too weird with the suits.
Imho, Sentai has been on a roll for the past couple years, since at least DonBros, if not Kirameiger. Any of the past few years' show since then is a great watch (though I don't know if DonBros is a particularly good entry point). But Boonboomger does feel very "back to basics" so far, so not a bad thing to check out.Damn, that sucks.

apparently these are completely new and based off a Spanish dub the site made.Wait Kamen Rider Agito and 555 got English dubs? Just finding out cause freetv just put em up.

Also Discotek picked up Jiban Jiban, Jibaaaannnnnnn
Cheaper license with less red tape maybe? I know some of the others are in that Kamen Rider black RX category.huh, wonder why they skipped shaider-Jiraya. Hopefully Jiban is good in the meanwhile.

there's a noted history of dubs for the series being made in various regions such as Singapore, Agito seemingly wasn't dubbed back then. But 555 was and is currently missing beyond a brief commercial clip.
You can really go either way on this, though I would perhaps suggest watching Agito after Kuuga as Agito is kind of a spiritual successor to Kuuga (it was originally going to be more explicitly a canonical sequel to it, but was changed last minute).Begs the question, 555 or Agito first? Leaning the former
Yeah that’s why I was leaning towards 555(tho I watched the first episode of Agito a while back before building him)Finished Geats rewatch a few days ago and yeah, I think this is a top 5 Rider now, warts and all. Put another way, I'd consider it an 8/10 show bumped to an 8.5 thanks to the fantastic action sequences. Hope we get more Rider from Shout before too long.
Also had the last few episodes of Kingohger to finish up today and what a ride. While I think the first half was more enjoyable than the second half, this was in many ways a very ambitious Sentai series and I loved the big swings it took even if there were obvious limitations with the production. Probably the best final battle in Sentai history also. Would likely put this in my top 5 Sentai as well.

I think there's a place for both - and it certainly looks like Power Rangers is undergoing a fairly significant transformation one way or another - but i think both can live side by side and it would be great if that would happen instead of pretending Sentai doesn't exist largely in the west - the fact we have Geats on BluRay already but have never seen anything of series like Lu/Pat, KingOhger etc... is insaneNo shade on people who enjoy Power Rangers, but I kind of hope the brand withers away as to free up the stranglehold it has on Sentai distribution rights.
I kind of view it like Macross in that regard. Obviously if they could exist side by side that would be ideal.I think there's a place for both - and it certainly looks like Power Rangers is undergoing a fairly significant transformation one way or another - but i think both can live side by side and it would be great if that would happen instead of pretending Sentai doesn't exist largely in the west - the fact we have Geats on BluRay already but have never seen anything of series like Lu/Pat, KingOhger etc... is insane
I suspect with Power Rangers going off and doing its own thing with American original stories, designs, mecha etc... as seems to be the plan for the new reboot, this will be more likely/possible going forwardI kind of view it like Macross in that regard.

Breakdown. apparently they managed to get world from the Japanese KR movie trilogy boxset too?
I am hoping the reboot can take a page from the BOOM comic Power Ranger designs, I love the designs for both the Solar Rangers and the designs for the Hyper Force rangers of TTRPG series.I suspect with Power Rangers going off and doing its own thing with American original stories, designs, mecha etc... as seems to be the plan for the new reboot, this will be more likely/possible going forward
