Now I'm not a big fan of Super Sentai (AKA Power Rangers) with the exception of Shinkenger (Power Rangers Samurai) but I got to say, the new Sentai series Gokaiger has some serious potential.

In the series the 34 (or so) teams of Rangers team up to stop an alien invasion on Earth. Using a combined final attack, they defeat the threat but at the cost of their powers. Years later, a group of pirates arrive on Earth to steal the greatest treasure. The problem is, they have no clue what it is. Suddenly, the alien force that attacked years ago returns and with no rangers to stop them, they reap chaos on the city until the pirates reveal that they are the Gokaigers who weild the ability to transform into ANY of the previous rangers!

This show is seriously for hardcore fans. With cameos from previous rangers and fanservice (the non perverted kind meaning they use attacks and suits from the other series even from the 70's)

It has a cool charm to it and I actually enjoyed it. It wasn't as stupid and kiddish like the other sentai series (with Shinkenger being the only exception) it deserves a look.

Now for Power Rangers Samurai. I love the fact that Saban got back the rights to Power Rangers and it's easy to see that they care for their adult fans of the classic Might Morphin Power Rangers. From the familiar theme song (Go Go Power Rangers!) to the return of Bulk (the Bully from MMPR) now with his nephew. The moment it begins it's as if i was sent back in time to when I was a kid and Rita is attacking Angel Grove.

That said, it is a kid's show. From the cheesy friendship speeches to the lame attack names and retarded puns. It's so stupid that it's hard to watch if your an adult. That said, there are some good points to be said. It's closer to the original version of the show Super Sentai Shinkenger then any of the other Power Rangers series is to any of their Sentai versions. The fights are cool to watch and the music is pretty catchy (like I said: GO GO POWER RANGERS!)

It's good if you take it for what it is: a kid's show that makes tributes to the show that started it all. Welcome back Saban. You were missed.

Raptr is a program that connects to ur 3b0, PS3 profile to show the games u play and achievements you've gained as well as acts as a chat program similar to AIm or MSN. It's pretty cool and should be checked out.

Raptr check it out.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was the shit back in the day. I still remember Super Human Samurai Cyber Squad to. As well as Beetleborgs.

Wow ive been always a PR fan. But i have to add that you know well how to give reviews. Without overshadowing it with your own opinions.
