You know how everyone has their own opinion? well some opinions are just crap/noobish.
The first post is an example of a crappy/noobish post, for the poster does not know what he is talking about for the most part, therefore his opinion is incomplete :thumbs: Doesn't matter anyway, looks like Sentaisenshi barely goes on HJU, I bet he hasn't read 1/5th of these posts, this post will probably go unread by him anyway :sweat:
Super Sentai is the Best Tokusatsu show around always has being and always will.
When it comes to true quality of entertainment and action nothing can beat sentai. Here are some of excellent examples and proofs
Well in terms of Toku action, Sentai action is pretty boring.
Life-size and Giant size Action mixed
We all know that Ultraman series is Giant Hero Toku genre. But Sentai cover both life-size and giant size action with sword action kicking from KR and giant size of hero from ultraman, with big mecha robots with ability to change and swap opponents. Properly sentai has best live-action mecha and robos theme so far to this recent with themes from animals or space ships. Where is giant hero or mecha robos in KR??
You obviously never saw Ultraman vs Kamen Rider, or Kamen Rider J.
Second off, no one cares if a toku show has giant things, you shouldn't care either or you will be missing out on great Toku shows like Guyferd or Gransazer.
The Meaning of Action
Sentai is a God of Tokusatsu with Biggest explosion, big battlefield action, awesome mechas and robo action, colourful amazing special/ CG effects, impressive martial art moves with pretty hot girls kicking ass to bad guys, When it comes to Art of fighting, sentai covered every range of genre from acrobatic, martial art, kung fu, street fighting, judo. You have every martial arts covered in Maskman such as karate, kung fu, boxing, sword fighting and Tai Chi Chuan and Chinese martial art in Dairanger. You can see some of biggest Explosion and real special effect in older sentai. But Boukenger did reach to that level abit last year. With very creative weapons/ arsenals and unique combine/ combo attacks and Sentai Hero attacks don’t often repeated as KR so often as where in KR Series their rider kicks pose are all very much same. If you even compare with just few random episodes of sentai and KR series, sentai always had 2 or 3 more Action scenes than KR. Most KR shows fighting are punching and slashing and that’s not good action. You can clearly compared quality action battle scenes that KR has missing. Just too plain and simple for most of action in KR.
Wow this post here made me believe that you are a child that cares only for random explosions, at least KR battles made SOME sense. You obviously never saw intense battles like Black vs Shadow Moon in 50 and 51. And 95% of all Sentai battles are boring, and have a obvious outcome
Identity of True hero
Always every year’s sentai team were selected only to one and only those who truly deserve and suitable to theme/ title of the series as example like Kai was chosen as Magired /leader even though he was youngest but he got the most courage cuz main theme of series is courage. And none of any other civilian people or allies can wear or transform into Sentai Hero (good eg, Amy can't change into abaranger at all no matter how she tries). But worst one has to be KR 555 where everyone can wear and change into Faiz gear and other riders’ suits (even a girl can). That's not a true hero where anyone can change and that mean real true hero don't existed in faiz or KR series. One true hero only should belong to this change device and the suit. I think one guy is enough for one suit and stick with it all the way rather than everyone go around and change into main hero like in some KR series. I can’t even count how many guys wear thebee device and change in kabuto.
This whole part right here shows you never watched any Kamen Rider series besides Kabuto and a few clips of 555 and maybe Blade.
Watch V3 and Black, that shows a true hero
Only Orphenoc's can wear Faiz, Kaixa, Riot, Orga, or Psyga, anyone can wear Delta.
Oh yes what do you mean by even a girl can? I sense sexism here.
Btw learn to spell when trying to make a point/long post
Racialism
Sentai had never discriminated racial tolerant as you can see in some of series like megaranger, liveman and abaranger that they had other nationality allies like black guy in megaranger and European agents in abaranger. They even had one big baseball league player as very funny black actor as main character in that Abaranger episode 10. As far as I’d seen in most KR series, I had never seen one another nationality apart from Japanese.
Shows how much you know about Japanese culture/history, many Japanese are racist in away, they just don't show it, and they have a history of racism. This is why they have the word Gaijin >.> and why they crucified an entire city of catholics. So I wouldn't be surprised if a Japanese TV show had only japanese people :redface2:
Opening and Ending Credits
Sentai always has this very fun, colourful and creative fun theme for ED credits with great upbeat tunes of music.
Where else KR never had proper Ending Credit (only hibiki had one) since 2000 series. Some say it make longer for episode but it was just a lame excuse to save the budget because if you add averge length of Ending Credit with KR whole eps, it's about same exact length as recent sentai entire episode. Boukenger = 24:50 , Kabuto = 23:40. Averge ED Credit 1.10 to 1.20 min. 23:40 + 1.10 = 24.50 (you got boukenger’s ep length)
Has the Best Tokusatsu Soundtracks
You can’t deny that Sentai has the best toku music with a wide range of music genre from rock, j-pop, balled and dance with upbeat catchy OP/ED theme songs. They had those rising fresh talent singers such as Mika Kikuchi as Umeko/Dekapink in Dekaranger and Nao Nagasawa as Nanami/Hurricanblue in Hurricanger.had sang for Insert theme songs. And they became doing quite well in both music and TV industry. And they had old then-hugely popular singing stars singer like Daisuke Shima and Megumi Mori in Liveman. Sentai had any theme songs for every character from bad guys to Mecha robot.
I’m a perfectionist guy and when it comes to action or show and Sentai got it all.
Sentai always reach to audience’s expectation levels with unique themes, blend of many genres, I like the fact that I can really related to some of sentai storylines and some of characters in the series.
I haven't seen any Sentai theme use anything but j-pop/alternative rock mix, very light alternative btw. I guess somebody here doesn't like their hard music >.> like this kick ass song right
here
And no one cares really who sings the songs :redface2: as long as it sounds good people wouldn't give a flying frak about who sings it.
Unique? lawl, they don't seem that unique to me. I don't see how people could relate to men (yes rarely Sentai suit actors are female) in spandex fighting guys in monster suits.
Why Kamen Rider is worst and most plain Tokusatsu.
First of there is no way KR can be better because Kamen rider is not even merely good as Sentai. (Like a wise man said "Let a fool talks because he is blinded by fake”) Watching Kamen Rider is like eating meal without a flavour or salt. I always had a feeling that there are big things missing in KR. That's so much talking and a little less action. At end of eps you didn't even know eps was finished cuz they left you with cliff hanger storylines and when you watch the next ep, they moved on to new story. And most character in series are so less active and no fun at all when compared with sentai actors. KR had very plain, confused, weird storylines with Lifeless characters act as expressed their emotion in a Dark room (Kuuga and Agito are good example).
Big humour and real fun side of life is missing is KR where most series are too serious and depressing. Some of Worst Toku Final episodes have to be kuuga and agito where I didn’t know the final eps story was ended and it was finished just like that. No feeling to it or dramatic.
I can tell this series will be no appeal to Hollywood in longer term. They had done once masked rider and now with dragon knight. It won’t last or be successful like PR series in future long term.
Some new toku fans started watching kabuto and they are like ohh its best **** or whatever but really! kabuto is not exactly Magiranger or don't have THAT quality of entertainment or standard of action like Sentai series had. Where is big fire explosion (I don’t mean those green explosions by worms)? When was last time worms caused huge havoc or disaster to whole Tokyo?? I mean building collapsing and I don’t see any meaningful life messages given except just those egotistic quotes from Tendo which according to his grandma.
Their looks are so weird, never being traditional or similar in term of suits, face or even colour, some say red eyes but really.. hibiki had no eyes and faiz had yellow and not friendly appeal to it with those uneven bug eyes and weird mask shape.
This series put a bunch of so many female characters in a show just to burden the heroes, some of them can’t even transform and go around assist the heroes.(sure there are a few female riders but only in KR movies) These simply shown that females were weak in KR series.
Never really had proper or defined villain teams or organisation as MOW as mainly as villain and monster. I don't even wanna go there when it comes to KR monsters of week. I feel sorry for them as they don't have any super-natural power or abilities like shoot laser or fire. I mean for God sake doing something like they look awesome and all they do is just go around and punch, slash the riders. And those most worms in kabuto what do they do? They run around with fast light speed and punch the heroes.
I don’t define a good toku show which doesn’t have Proper Ending Credit in it.
Some says KR is dark and mature which I agreed but really.. this series aimed to toddler and very young kids. This series really need to lighten the characters or story.
How many people read this part till the end? I don't know I bet most people didn't read past the title because they thought it was going to be filled with obviously zealous bull **** :thumbs:
In the end you gotta see it to believe it this amazing Super Sentai series and you don't need subs to understand it. In generally Sentai is much much Better than Kamen Rider in term of everything REALLY.
This part gave me more than enough Karma to say this freely
you is major n00b
if you do read this, please try and prove me wrong, because your attempt will most likely be poorly spelled and very feeble.
But in general
Know your info before you make a feeble rant about things you know nothing about, you never watched a KR series, you don't know any KR series besides 555 or Kabuto, and you know very little about making a qualifying point, you are just biased therefore your entire post is nullified
Oh yeah, my opinion Old school KR + some new gen KR > all Sentai. My own opinion, don't like it fine, but I prefer most KR over Sentai, more memorable heroes, better story, some of them feel like Jdrama's in a way (like Agito), I like the music better in KR, less corny, and many of the heroes generate a "kickass" feel from them, like they could destroy a **** load of other characters easily (1, 2, V3, Black, etc.). It doesn't mean I don't like sentai though, personally my favorite Sentai's are Liveman and GoGoV. But thats just my opinion, everyone is entitled to their own, some are better than others though :thumbs:
