It's a number of things really. On the surface it's the cool concepts and suit designs as well as the hyperkinetic approach to action and fight choreography.
But for me it's also what I refer to as the totally unapologetic spiritedness of it all. The heroes are brave and bold and shout their defiance of evil and cruelty. Maybe their world doesn't work exactly the way ours does but when done well the emotions of those characters are real and that sense of finding the strength to work together to protect each other and humanity is sincere.
So I guess it's really that Sentai's colorful combination of stylishly dynamic action and righteous heroics when held together by a good story and acting is what attracted me to it.
Of course some of this is just part and parcel with what attracts me to the Japanese approach to superheroes in general my love of the superhero idea.
My curiousity lead me into finding out how Saban ruin the Japanese version. So, I googled 'super sentai' and found a website (forgot the name of it) that had free RAW episodes of Kakuranger episodes. I digged it, and soon I found Tv-Nihon and downloaded/watched some Dekaranger. Then there's youtube with Sentai shows posted and the rest was history.
I grew up on SS. I guess what attracted me to SS was the union of 5 warriors fighting together against one singular enemy or a group of enemies, the fights, the weapons, and yeah, I'll admit, I'm a sucker for giant robots.
Well, looking back at it now, I still think that Saban ruin it in some parts. But, I'll admit there were some good that Saban did. But, at least, it didn't went totally downhill when Disney took over.
hmm.. I see. I used to watch the English Super Sentai and I used to liked it.. but that was 11 years ago.
so recently I thought of watching the old shows I used to watch but wondered how Japanese people made Power Rangers since they're the first ones to produce it.
So I borrowed from my friend " Mahou Sentai Magiranger " and wow... interesting. I just finished Boukenger.
