Damn the Toei Internet channel is $20 monthly 


The title Ressha is a pun on the Japanese word ressha, which means train using the kanji characters for 烈車 vehement car instead of the usual 列車 line car. While Tokkyu means limited express train. Our new Super Sentai will most likely be train-based!
.They need to make Power Rangers a little more mature. Not hardcore (like apparently the Japanese shows are) but enough to able to everyone and not just little kids. Power Rangers transcends age and the content should reflect that.
Yes they do, Americanized PR has gotten way more immature over the years as is.
Simon Cowell's dignity has a price -- $1 million -- because that's how much someone paid to get him to sing the "Power Rangers" theme song ... in front of a giant crowd of rich people ... and TMZ has the hilarious video.
Here's what happened: Simon was attending a fundraiser for Friends of the Israel Defense Forces in Beverly Hills last night, and billionaire "Power Rangers" creator Haim Saban offered to donate $1 million if Simon sang the show's theme song.
And Simon actually did it. It's epic.
There's a pretty great twist at the end as well, resulting in Simon paying $250,000 of his own money. Watch the video to see what happens.
Really just looking forward to them getting the pirate suits. Even though they probably won't be acting piratey.
Having the Rangers be actual pirates that want to steal loot and stuff is too hardcore for the kiddies.

"The Great Gathering of History's Dinosaur Sentai Teams"
The Kyoryuger and Go-Busters challenge the "Greatest Dinosaur Battle" ever seen on Earth!
Suddenly, both Tyrannoranger of Kyoryuu Sentai Zyuranger and AbaRed of Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger appear before the the Kyoryuger and explain of a great enemy that threatens them.
The identity of this enemy is "Uchuu Ikusagami Borudosu" (Space War God Borudosu), who will use the feelings of revenge from past enemies of Dinosaur Super Sentai, creating "Neo Grifforzar" and "Neo Gailton". Borudosu also resurrects Enter and Escape, whom the Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters had fought, and the villains unite into a single evil force!
The Kyoryuger, who are fighting an unseen evil, meet with the Go-Busters, and the "Greatest Trap ever seen on Earth" is sprung. What rises up against the true dinosaurs, and the death of your best friends? Now, the Kyoryuger must try and use the "True Brave".
It's not like the Gokaigers were pirates either. They were more like fake, mentally handicapped One Piece pirates.
There's an episode of Samurai where Negatron causes a car crash. We never see the guy get out. He legit murders a man by making his car crash. Apparently that's okay to put on TV, BUT NOT STEALING.
THAT WOULD BE TOO INTENSE.
They're not gonna act like pirates because "piracy" is the dumbest, most asinine possible way to celebrate thirty years of a franchise that began as paramilitary pulp fiction about heroes who rose from tragedy to protect the world from good. The Gokaigers are the worst possible team to tribute Super Sentai and it's the biggest example of how, at one point, Super Sentai, though still a toy commercial, was at least a toy commercial ABOUT SOMETHING and now they just slap a random theme onto the Super Sentai costume template and call that a show.
They might as well have just filmed the Gokaiger staff peeing on the Gorenger film masters for 50 episodes. I know the Gokaigers learn to be heroes or something, but no, they weren't really even villains in the first place. Why wasn't the anniversary season reflecting the original intent of Shotaro Ishinomori?
(Because it's stupid.)
Likewise, "piracy" is a stupid theme for an anniversary season of a show that started as every cheesy 90's sitcom ever, but with Godzillas. Using the suits as power ups, not caring that they're something something PIRATES, makes more sense. Like how the Alien Rangers have ninja suits but they don't bother trying to make them ninja-y. So the Gokaiger suits just being power ups for MMPR teens is a better tribute to what MMPR was than "MAKE THEM PIRATES EVEN THOUGH THAT'S SCARY NOW LET'S TERRORISM THESE BUILDINGS" would be. I'd rather a goofy footage hacked hot mess of a season that feels like PR's early days than a stupid, arbitrary pirate theme.
And for the record, no, Samurai isn't mature. It aims low and writes very low, and it's various acts of car crashes, building destruction, etc. are brushed aside with no repercussions. Just like Shinkenger. None of these shows are really that mature. Because they're INTRODUCTIONS to superhero fiction for young children. Power Rangers is My Little Justice League, just like how Super Sentai is My Little Tokusatsu. They're both designed for small children. They SHOULDN'T be mature, even if you ignore the fact that all the "mature" Power Rangers seasons have terrible writing.
Can anyone ever give me one good reason why Power Rangers should be forced to "grow up"? A reason that isn't "I'm thirty and am embarrassed I watch it? HAHA KIDS ARE DUMB."
hahahahahaha
Please. Jetman is "mature" but had an episode where they brushed aside the death of Red Falcon's fiance for the sake of cheap laughs. When people say Super Sentai is mature, they mean "OH WOW I SAW BLOOD IN THAT GUY'S LIP ONCE", because they are manchildren.
Again, why?
What about Power Rangers "transcends age?" This is a superhero show for early grade schoolers.
Here's a puzzler. If the show transcends age, e.i. if it has an adult audience, why should it change? If it already gets this adult fanbase by being the way it is, logic dictates it doesn't actually have to change its content.
