Summer 2013 Day 18 : Counting Titles... and the Power Rangers situation.

Even as I continue to wait for that darn laptop to pop up I started counting up the review content so far... mixed bag.

Kamen Rider
Finally found some English Subs of OOOs again on YouTube, but still no Fourze... go figure.

Power Rangers
What?!? Is this right?? Megaforce ground to an unexpected halt at... EPISODE NINE?!? In the middle of the Warstars arc... and they do know there is like 20 or more Goseiger episodes after that, right? But as it stands Episode 10 is MIA (from my understanding of the situation) and the excuse is... So they can gear up for Super Megaforce aka Gokaiger in 2014... say what...

In the past I said this whole idea could have problems launching, the mere fact they can't even complete half of Goseiger seems to prove just that. Really. One adapt at a time stupids! Finish Goseiger before developing Mighty Morphin ADD, or MMADD, and wandering off to screw up Gokaiger...

Problem 1 - All those pre Mighty Morphin era Super Sentai
One of the gimmicks of Gokaiger was the fact the team could henshin (please stop correcting my words auto corrector, I know what I am saying) into any past Super Sentai team, and use their gimmicks. This might be a problem since there is a bit of Super Sentai that never became Power Rangers pre Zyurangers, especially since that is prominent from Episode 1.

Problem 2 - Bringing Go Onger/RPM back into the fold
From the time of Samurai I said they were going to have to reintegrate Go Onger slash RPM back into the main Power Rangers universe... unless they actually did that in Samurai as I said they should have, using the Shinkenger vs Go Onger movie as the template for it, that means they're stuck doing it now... good luck with that one.

Problem 3 - Lack of patience
The first thing Power Rangers fans and reviewers are calling for is patience, but not from the Power Rangers fans as much as from Saban. Patience to slowly adapt Goseiger and then Gokaiger properly, doing right by both series in turn. But with Megaforce suddenly derailed barely a dozen episodes out, Saban rushing Super Megaforce into production, patience is the last thing on Saban' s mind right now, no matter how much reviewers wish otherwise.

How did this all fall apart so fast? Worst am I even going to be able to find any of the nine episodes aired for reviews? We'll see... stay tuned.

Super Sentai
Speaking of Gokaiger I can review that it seems... as well as Goseiger as we compare how far Megaforce got into Goseiger with only nine episodes.

Well... that was unexpected. Looks like we will just be relaunching and right out the starting gate we have a big topic to follow... oh, and a new Kamen Rider series. Stay tuned.

Henshin Up 2012 Phase 1 Schedule

While assembling Henshin Up Jukebox Episode 1 I assembled the first phase of content of Henshin Up 2012.

Kamen Rider - OOOs and Fourze (2011)
Super Sentai - Gokaiger and Go-Busters (February 2012)
Anime - Catching up with Precure
Animation - Transformers Prime Season 2 and Transformers Rescue Bots Season 1

Still picking out Random and Reviewer's Choice... stay tuned for updates as they come in.

Henshin Up Jukebox 2012 Episode 1 should be out tomorrow. Sadly the IFPI has been keeping Gokaiger scarce music wise, expect to see Go-Busters by March, and I only found one piece of Fourze... at least I found some Precure to make up for the lack of new content. Hope to see stuff come in in the coming days though.
