Something to go with my Thursday Geekout.

I kiiiinda liked this show, but for some reason could never get all the way through.

 

[Kamen Rider Armor Ninja]

I just watched the first part, that whole Harry Potter/Magiranger thing wasnt that confirmed?

I remember a few years back, Gackt was guest on a variety show(smastation i believe) where they had a special on Kamen Rider. Gackt was there because he starred in the decade movie. Anyhow after that special they also made a Super Sentai episode and like the Kamen Rider one they talked about the history(very briefly) and how some themes came to be. They showed that Magiranger had influence of Harry Potter.

But im not sure, i also remember that the episode was never subbed. Cause Smastation is like a 45 min variety show. So i can understand that no one wants to sub it wether they were a Tokusatsu subber or a J-drama subber(the variety show was hosted by a famous japanese idol)

Or he has good taste in rap music.

If his taste in music is like his taste in comics, then I doubt it :laugh:

I have a feeling that after watching Operation Overdrive, he will take everything back he said about Turbo :laugh:

I know the Sentai thing has been debated over and over, and while I agree that his show should be about PR only, I feel that he COULD have left some room for fun facts, for example the Snow Prince looking very feminine because he was originally a woman in Magiranger etc.
It does not really require him to watch the Sentai. He could get all those facts from the fans.
