Delusional Zyuranger, finishing said series, and just tokusatsu.
This here is why I love Akibaranger! Hilarity, especially from the delusions within the show and the references. Rather than the reality that Zyuranger is the source material for the original Power Rangers, these Zyuranger are under the delusion that Super Sentai came from the American TV show, Powerful Rangers. I could be here all day/night just talking about it, so I'll just cut it short and let that split pic say it all.
Speaking of Zyuranger, I managed to finish the series just before subs were available for Akibaranger episode 5. While I will say the formula of kids in distress does get tiring, for the most part, it was very enjoyable. It gets very interesting to get back on Netflix, watching some of those season 1 Power Rangers episodes, then end up seeing some of the footage and know the original context of those footage.
I'm not sure what's next for me and watching another tokusatsu show. Not sure if I'll be looking into another Super Sentai show or what. I have been wanting to watch Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight (an adaptation of Kamen Rider Ryuki) but it looks like that's going to be hard since the adaptation looks to be in legal limbo (i.e. There's no DVD releases in the U.S). Though I am also tempted to watch...the live action Sailor Moon. Though it's going to feel so surreal and feels like it's going to be outside of the normal level of camp that I'm used to (it's why I even linked to its opening).
Yes, I may have an addiction to Japanese tokusatsu shows alongside any adaptations (i.e. Power Rangers).
