Power Rangers Samurai

Nov 03, 2011 07:27

So in my boredom I decided to watch the first episode of Power Rangers Samurai and I just couldn't stop giggling the whole way thru. But for the most part I liked that they pretty much just took the Japanese version Super Sentai Shinkenger and just made it "American" with only a few changes. ShinkenBlue character was a Kaubuki actor and that won't work in the US and so they made him a swimmer with his dad as his coach/teacher, which makes scence since the Blue element is water.

Only 21 eps are out right now but so far as I read the wiki page for this show it seems they're staying true to the Japanese Version.

From what I read, the 6th ranger is a traveling fishermen instead of a traveling sushi seller, but is still the red's childhood friend that made himself a ranger XD

Even the personality's of each character is pretty much the same, the blue the ever loyal one, the green the lazy/gamer, the pink the older sister that can't cook, the yellow the country girl who only got her abilities because her sister got sick. And the red one with a secret he hides from his team.

The only real problem I have with the series is the red ranger being white not asian. Only because the Samurai leader should be Asian, at least. The retainers could be explained as being adopted or whatever, ya'know. That's my only complaint. I just hope when they bring in the real red that they make her a girl for one thing like the original & asian. XD
