<READ THIS> HJU Productions?! And what the heck is Project PR3?! <READ THIS>
Okay so I admit that the title doesn't make any sense at all. So I'm gonna explain now. I know all of you have heard that Disney's stopped making Power Rangers and has opt to rebroadcast Mighty Morphin Power Rangers instead. I know some of you aren't happy with Power Rangers ending and some of you have made attempts to petition for Disney to continue Power Rangers. But of course at some point Power Rangers will have to end. I for one do think Power Rangers has to end one day, I just don't think it should be now. So petitioning didn't work, big deal. Luckily for us, I've come up with Plan B: get Disney to allow us to continue Power Rangers as a fan series. But of course Disney has copyright to it, so what to do? I'm gonna e-mail to Disney to allow us to continue Power Rangers as a fan series. But I'm gonna need your support. I'll be posting a petition page soon here on the first post for you guys to sign. But you can post in here if you like instead. As for production company? We'll I was looking over at TokuAsia and I noticed that TokuAsia has a fanfilm production company called TokuAsia Productions. So So why not we do the same and start our own fanfilm production company for HJU and call it HJU Productions? Ofcourse we don't have to have HJU Productions as a production company just for Power Rangers. I also wanna start it up make other fan series aswell, including a few animated works aswell. As for the fan series itself? I've written a rough draft since late 2009 for the fan series which you can look below here. Forgive me for my typing as I'm not so great writing a film draft:-

Story:-
There has been a war spanning between the pages of history itself, gone unnoticed for centuries. It was a war between 2 factions, the evil Gedoshu Army, creatures from the Sanzu River that lies in Hell, and the Shiva-Sampson Alliance's 5 Great Samurais, powerful Samurais each gifted with an elemental power. For generations, 4 of the siblings or cousins from the Sampson clan of American Samurais (the Blue, Pink, Green and Yellow Samurais of Water, Sky, Wood and Earth) would be chosen to serve as vassals and teammates for the eldest male from the Shiva clan of Indian Samurais (the Red Samurai of Fire) to combat as the 5 Great Samurais against the Gedoshu, using an ancient mystical art only a few can use than precedes the 5 Samurais called Mojikara and powerful disks called Hiden Disks and having control over powerful sentient mystical machines called Orikami. But about 500 years ago, the 5 Samurais of that era waged a great battle against the Gedoshu, crippling the Gedoshu and sealing them away. Now 500 years later, in the year 2010, the seal over the Gedoshu has broken, releasing the Gedoshu and allowing them to wage war against the world once again.
Enter Blaine Shiva-Akatsuki, a young 18-year-old whose family died when he was a baby and adopted by the Akatsuki clan of Asian Samurais. Trained by the Akatsukis in the ways of the Samurai and the art of Mojikara, he was told to meet the Sampson family. Meeting with the Sampson siblings later, he and the 4 Sampson siblings Walt, Aile, Rowan and Terra discover a surprising secret: that Blaine's the last descendant of the Shiva clan. At first reluctant due to his attitude, he eventually allies himself with the 4 young Sampsons. Wielding the mystic arts of the 5 Samurais and technology created as a result of linking their powers with the Morphing Grid, they are more than just the new 5 Samurais: they are now the next generation of Power Rangers, the Power Rangers Samurai Strikeforce!
Characters
Rangers:-
Red Samurai of Fire/Red Samurai Ranger
Name: Blaine Shiva-Akatsuki
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Bio:-
The leader of the team and the last descendant of the Shiva clan. Due to his firm upbringing, he's developed a cool, arrogant, serious, lonewolf personality, claiming that none can ever match his skills as a Samurai. This also causes him to be socially inept. But despite all that, he's very "King Arthur-like", being noble and respectful to others. Has been fighting the Gedoshu as a Power Ranger for a month before the story. At first reluctant due to his arrogance, he eventually relents and lets the Sampson siblings become Power Rangers and ally with him on the condition that they fight out of want than need and to finish their mission to the last detail, while they help him rediscover life and become more human. As the Red Samurai of Fire, he commands the element of Fire.
Blue Samurai of Water/Blue Samurai Ranger
Name: Walter "Walt" Sampson
Gender: Male
Age: 13
Bio:-
The brains of the group and the youngest of the 4 Sampson siblings. Although the youngest, everyone knows he's actually the smart one and respects him for that. A young man seemingly more matured than his age, he has an appreciation for the arts, especially theatre. As such, he dreams to one day become a Broadway actor. Unfortunately he's also very uptight, so uptight he practically irritates virtually everyone, especially Blaine, who Walt is deeply loyal to a fault. As the Blue Samurai of Water, he commands the element of Water.
Pink Samurai of Sky/Pink Samurai Ranger
Name: Aile Sampson
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Bio:-
The oldest of the 4 Sampson siblings and the maternal figure of the group. Kind and cool, she's the type who anyone would look up to, but she does get easily annoyed by Walt. Unfortunately, she also happens to be a horrible cook. Has an affinity with children, working part-time at a Day-care centre. There's also a bit of a love thing going on between Aile and Blaine. As the Pink Samurai of Sky, she commands the element of the Sky.
Green Samurai of Wood/Green Samurai Ranger
Name: Rowan Sampson
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Bio:-
The strategist of the group and the second-oldest of the 4 Sampson siblings. A sarcastic, rude and immature guy, he would rather slack than work. But he knows that when the world's at stake, he has to step up. Althought weak in Samurai skills compared to the rest, he's actually skilled in strategies and surprise attacks, making him the strategist of the group. He also has a great deal of knowledge on the Power Rangers mythos. Definitely doesn't like the idea of serving as what he would call a "lackey" to someone like Blaine. As such, he's often at odds with Blaine and/or Walt for obvious reasons. But secretly he just wants to surpass Blaine as a Samurai and has a great deal of respect for Walt. As the Green Samurai of Wood, he commands the element of Wood.
Yellow Samurai of Earth/Yellow Samurai Ranger
Name: Terra Sampson
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Bio:-
The second-youngest of the 4 Sampson siblings. A straight-A student who enjoys pop and classical music. Often regarded as a gentle girl by her whole family. As such, they can often be really protective of her. But despite that, she's actually very skilled in Martial Arts, being a black belt in Taekwando and able to fend for herself. Looks up to Aile greatly and struggles to keep up with Blaine. As the Yellow Samurai of Earth, she commands the element of Earth.
Allies:-
Name: Howard Sampson
Gender: Male
Age: Late 30s - Early 40s
Bio:-
The Head of the Sampson family and the father of Walt, Aile, Rowan and Terra. Also serves as the retainer and mentor for the team. Has a Father-Son relationship with Blaine, serving as a "second father" to him. Has a laid-back personality, being the typical Zen master-type of mentor to the team, but when he has to, he won't hesitate to take charge as the patriarch of the family.
Name: Mary-Anne Sampsonm
Gender: Female
Age: Late 30s - Early 40s
Bio:-
Howard's wife and Walt, Aile, Rowan and Terra's mother. Serves as the voice of reason for the family. Although constantly worrying for her kids like any mom would, she supports their endeavours as Power Rangers. Often seen as a maternal figure like Aile, she also often has to take charge of the family due to Howard's carefree attitude, to her dismay.
Name: James Akatsuki
Gender: Male
Age: Late 30s - Early 40s
Bio:-
Head of the Akatsuki family and Blaine's adoptive father. Appears stern and strict towards Blaine but deep down, he actually cares for him. Runs a Chinese food restaurant.
Name: Maya Akatsuki
Gender: Female
Age: Late 30s - Early 40s
Bio:-
James' wife and Blaine's adoptive mother.
Kuroko
Bio:-
Servants for the Sampsons who, like their namesakes, "set up" the scenery during the Power Rangers' transformation. As they do not possess any Mojikara, they are not able to fight against the Gedoshu and are not directly involved in combat, although they do help evacuate civilians away from danger. They often do chores when the Rangers are not in battle.
Villains:-
Doukoku Chimatsuri
Bio:-
Doukoku is the leader of the Gedoshu and is armed with a broadsword and possessing the power to seal his fellow Gedoshu. He is in a constant state of rage, with Dayu the only being to be able to soothe his rage along with sake. He battled the previous 5 Great Samurais 500 years ago, and had been sealed by the previous Red Samurai of Fire, Blaine's ancestor. Because the seal was incomplete, Doukoku eventually revives and begins leading his forces in conquering the mortal realm by terrorizing humans in anyway possible so that the river overflows to point of flooding into the mortal realm in order for them to invade in full fury.
Dayu Usukawa
Bio:-
Dayu is Doukoku's right hand and the only one he is kind to, provided she knows her place as his obedient, unquestioning servant. She is often seen with a Shamisen that creates the eerie and unsettling songs that serve to soothe Doukoku's rage. The Shamisen's headstock also doubles as the hilt of a shortsword Dayu uses in battle.
Shitari of the Bones
Bio:-
Shitari is the Gedoshu's strategist, a squid-headed demon who awaited for Doukoku's revival, being an extremely loyal servant to Doukoku. Shitari sees humans as mere specimens for his research, often uncovering means to overflow the Sanzu River.
Juzo Fuwa
Bio:-
Juzo is a mysterious Gedoshu, regarded by the others as a lone wolf, yet he seems to know more than Doukoku about the Sanzu River's true potential. 200 years ago, Juzo was a samurai in life who made a living as an assassin, eventually becoming disenchanted with the ways of bushido and thriving more on the pleasure of killing his opponents in battle. When he contracts a fatal illness, Juzo enters the Sanzu River to cheat death, completely discarding the goodness in his heart to become a Gedonin, a half-Gedoshu that can freely exist in both realms and assume a human form. However, unlike other Gedonin who die out in a few years, Juzo endured over the centuries and thus is condemned with an insatiable urge to find an ideal opponent, a fellow samurai who strays from the teachings of bushido, to clash blades with. Has taken an interest in Blaine, viewing him as a rival.
Arsenal
Shodo Morpher: The Shodo Morpher is the Power Rangers' morpher. After using the call "Samurai Strike! Bushido Change!", they use the Morph Mode that folds out of the Cellphone Mode to draw the elemental kanji that represents them in the air. They spin the kanji around, and it then forms their suit around them. The Shodo Phone is also used in summoning the Orikami and combining the Orikami into a Megazord. The Shodo Phone can also be used to summon other items with the proper kanji.
Samurai Spin Katana: The Samurai Spin Katana is the Power Rangers' primary sidearm. It is first activated by taking any of the Hiden Disks from a compartment on the Rangers' belts and attaching it to the hilt to become the guard. By spinning that Secret Disk, the Samurai Spin Katana acts as a praxinoscope and it powers up depending on the disk itself. By spinning the Common Hiden Disks fast enough, the Samurai Spin Katana transforms into the Rangers' signature weapon. Using a personal Hiden Disk allows a Power Ranger to execute a Spiral Sword Dance attack depending on the element that the disk represents. The 5 Spiral Sword Dance elemental attacks can be used in the 5-Sword Element Dance attack. The 4 Spiral Sword Dance elemental attacks can be used in the 4-Sword Element Dance attack.

Megazord Formations
Orikami Megazord: The Orikami Megazord is a Megazord formed by the five main Orikami when the Power Rangers write the kanji for "Unite" to make their Orikami combine. It is armed with a giant katana and a giant Hiden Shield Disk-like Shield. The Orikami Megazord's final attack is the Samurai Slash. It can combine with support Orikami.
* Combining with the Orikami Beetle when the kanji for "Kabuto" is written, the Orikami Megazord becomes the Orikami Megazord BEETLE. The Orikami Megazord BEETLE's final attack is the Beetle Cannon, spinning its helmet to produce a fireball to launch at the enemy.
* Combining with the Orikami Marlin when the kanji for "Kajiki" is written, the Orikami Megazord becomes the Orikami Megazord MARLIN. In this form, the Orikami Megazord MARLIN can either convert the Orikami Megazord's katana to Naginata Mode or attach it to the top of its helmet to execute the Marlin Slash.
* Combining with the Orikami Tiger when the kanji for "Tora" is written, the Orikami Megazord becomes the Orikami Megazord TIGER. The Orikami Megazord TIGER's final attack is the Tiger Driller, charging through the opponent with all four drills spinning.
Orikami Pheonix: The Orikami Pheonix is a bird-like creature formed when the three support Origami combine. The Orikami Pheonix's final attack is the Pheonix Smash.
Orikami Megazord PHEONIX: The Orikami Megazord PHEONIX is formed from the Orikami Megazord and the Orikami Pheonix when the kanji for "super" is written, giving it the ability to fly and execute the Pheonix Samurai Slash. Unlike previous armaments, this combination requires an even more powerful Mojikara for the formation due to the fact that the Orikami Pheonix is of Megazord-leveled power. Hence, this formation is considered a combination of 2 Megazords.
Sorry if the info for later stuff isn't there. I just wanted to give a general draft first before we discuss plans for later like the 6th ranger and later Megazords. So what do you guys think? Wanna join me and form HJU Productions?
