--

And that's pretty much it. you can try it by watching them in release order. But I would like to see someone try to do it in Chronological order. Which would be:

Garo Anime Season 2 -> Garo Anime Season 1 -> Garo -> Garo TV Season 2 -> Garo TV Season 4 -> Garo TV Season 3 -> Garo TV season 5

Wow, I didn't know it was so much, for some reason I was led to believe that it was a short series. I usually prefer to watch stuff in release order but I may just be the guinea pig and watch it for the first time in chronological order and post results. I'll probably do this in December though, that's when I do my yearly Toku marathons.

Thoughts on Boom's 16th issue,anyone?

Spoiler:

More thoughts will follow, but I will out this out there...Where is Earth-2 Kimberly? Having Jadon killed makes sense, but not any if the other four, but a chsnce to shine.
The issue resokved everything too quickly despite the dragged out plot. That surprised me.

[Allio]

hopefully the next story arc will be better.

[Allio]

Gavan vs Dekaranger (SPD) is out



Disappointed inthe mecha fight. I mean, I'm not surprised, since the Dekranger mech suits were destroyed YEARS ago (I think they only keep mech suits for like 5-6 years before destroying them) but still.

The ending has cameos of all sorts of metal heroes including Juspion (One of the VR Troopers) as well as B-Fighter and B-fighter Kabuto (Beetleborgs)

What was it about the alternate Earth arc did you not like? I have my problems with it; but liked it overall. If anything it gave me my favorite and second favorite a one on one team up. Despite serving together the longest Tommy and Billy were just a part of the same group never interacting individually.

Someone got the Wal-Mart exclusive version of the movie already, and they show its slipcover art here, which differentiates it from all the other store-exclusive versions.

I started out really liking it as you know, but as a whole, now that I've read the entire arc, I feel disappointed in it. I did like Drakkon, but I started to feel like Saba shouldn't have been there. Idk, something about the last couple of issues just felt off to me.

I didnt know there was a game based on the Turbo season and it's Japanese counterpart

Dean Israelite, the director of the reboot, blamed the film's box-office performance on the film's PG-13 rating. He believes that if it had been given a PG rating, then it would've done better.

That's interesting considering PG-13 usually have a lot of success, the movie was good, but it took the 3rd act when it becomes a Power Rangers movie

Yes, but it's a film based on a kids TV show. Maybe after parents took their children to see 2014's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, they thought it had too much adult humor and sexual references that they didn't want to see Out of the Shadows. Maybe those films and Power Rangers should've been rated PG and had a "Big Hero 6" type feel to it.

My co-workers, who are teachers, said they weren't planning on taking their kids to see Power Rangers and they also didn't recommend the film to their students while they sat down and had lunch with them. Family audiences were more interested in seeing Beauty and the Beast and The Boss Baby that month.

The problem is if you go PG you turn off adults who think it's just a kids movie. They clearly wanted this film to appeal to adults who grew up with the TV show.

They didn't quite succeed. I mean...I liked the movie, but had no interest in the Young Adult fiction route they were going. I'm five years short of turning fourty.

That was one of the problems I had with Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. The action really didn't happen until they got to the temple to stop Divatox and rescue Kimberly and Jason. I didn't rewatch that film as much as a kid. Plus, I liked the second Turbo cast on the TV series better because they seemed more unified and had interesting personalities.

Hassan Ahmed does a review of the Best Buy exclusive version of the PR movie release and shows off the packaging, as well as the cards included. I was right about the cards having profiles on the backs of them, but they also have fun facts. There are six cards, and they're of the five rangers and Rita Repulsa.

Now that I've seen all that the Best Buy exclusive has to offer, I'll just stick to getting the Wal-Mart exclusive.

[Brodie]

Its also worth noting, Target's exclusive has not only the steelbook, but a reprint of the Aftershock graphic novel. That book is out of print, and for a short one-off, it fetches relatively high prices. So, for the same price as the other blurays, you get that included as well.

The director of the Power Rangers movie wants to see Lord Zedd in the sequel.

I've reported Target's exclusive version already.

As for the graphic novel itself, Barnes & Noble's site still seems to have some to sell. Some of the stores near me apparently have some stocked as well. I was going to wait until after I saw the movie to get it, and the soonest I saw myself seeing the movie is when I could get it on home video, which of course will be tomorrow. Barnes & Noble might even e-mail me on Thursday about a discount code, which I'd use towards a copy, as well as a couple of other things. Besides, the stand-alone version is 96 pages while the one that comes with the Target steelbook release is just 54 pages.
