An early review on the seasons 13-17 set.

So come April 1st, and that's no foolin', people won't have to be among the lucky 2000 to own all the first seventeen seasons Shout! Factory has the rights to. As for individual sets, there are the first and second halves of Turbo coming out on April 1st and June 3rd respectively. After that, let's see how much further they'll get with the volumes.

I've put together a reversioning of an old "Scorpion Rain" fanedit I made back in 2010. Enjoy.

just a reminder, the toku show garo-spin off "Zero: Black Blood" has started, the first two episodes are subbed by Over-time

Spoiler:

After season 3, it feels so good seeing real suits again

The new theme song for the season according to the editors (hum along to the RPM theme)

Power Rangers IDC (I don't care)
Power Rangers IDC
We shrug our shoulders
Power Rangers IDC (I don't care)
Power Rangers IDC
I DON'T CARE.

I'm usually Megaforce's advocate, but I have to say this is really not on. I totally get people are doing a job and persona insults and character assasinations should not part and parcel of criticism, but they still do need criticism aimed sqaure at them for routinely lazy choices (though I do like they half-bothered by naming one "Blitz")

,..I'm half-joking here, but it does seem like Tzachor's long discussed Sentai fixation has translated into him becoming aware of the pull of internet databases on the Toku genre creating new Sentai fans every day and he feels enough 'net-savy young minds beneath the average age of the fanbase that has been with the show since the begining are aware of the source material, thus he has no obligation to continue ignoring it.

Saw the new episode. Just had to share how funny I thought that giant sword was when the rangers defeated the monster.

It was like the size of 3 megazords. Never saw much of Samurai so don't know if there's a reason but my gosh even Godzilla would think wtf?!

[Allio]

this is the only good reason to have the Sentai suits appear

A few complaints about editing and acting aside (and the occasional dip into pre-zyuranger teams), I'm loving it too. Indeed a lot of fans have been a bit rosier towards Super Megaforce. Some of the haters are trying to desperatly excuse the reception as "because of the tributes and the older suits", but I enjoyed Megaforce which had minimal nostalgia so I don't think it's the case, it's just had very consistent, action-packed episodes that tick all the boxes of pure escapmism. I've often maintained some of these more pessimistic older fans are simply getting too long in the tooth for the show or want the show to consistently be of the calibure of RPM and won't settle for anything less than that. Ultimately, they only ruin their own good time.

Couldn't have put it better my friend

The new Ultraman, Ultraman Victory gets it's first image

Spoiler:

It is unknown if it is going to be a new show or movie, but rumors state that the action scenes will be directed by none other than Sakamoto (of Power Rangers/Super Sentai/Kamen Rider)

I think Turbo is the best movie but mighty morphin is the best out of them all.

[Storm Eagle]

The legacy set is now being offered to those in select international countries. For them, it's $800 U.S., but they can get $50 U.S. shaved off with the code RANGER50.

Not perfect, but I preferred that movie too. The first movie really has not aged well at all.
