Yes, Gokaiger didn't try to bring as close to 100% of 35 years of Super Sentai in terms of classic actors and actresses into the show. That would just be insane. Kamen Rider Decade didn't try that either but had a few golden points (Black/Black RX reprising his role for instance). However it seems Saban is going to celebrate turning 20 by having its closets opened, and its nasty skeletons march out to infect all Walking Dead style... good work, Saban, way to go.
Go on YouTube, look up Megaforce, there should be a few minute video that the Legend War is now in production, complete with some photos of the filming to whet your appetite. This, of course, is the war fought in Gokaiger for the 35th Anniversary of Super Sentai... only it's barely in production and already things are coming apatrt. How so? Let me count the ways.
- Saban might have remembered to finish airing regular Megaforce first... remember it unexpectedly ground to a halt at Episode 9, and seems to only be half the size of Goseiger for some odd unfathomable reason. I suspect it may yet be 40 episodes but they wrapped that a long time ago. They're just burning up hiatus weeks before starting again... if there are only 20 episodes though? This might not start again until November!
- If you were hoping turning 20 would make Saban more appreciative of the old gang? Think again. Bad blood dating all the way back to Power Rangers Zeo if not right back to the first generation Power Rangers, insulting generic form letters, and that's only the start! You say there's 70 Saban era Rangers? Saban only wants 10 (1/7th or 14%!)... and they're completely ignoring the Disney era Rangers... which kinda explains snubbing some Mighty Morphin Rangers, since didn't some of them help Disney with the Remastered MMPR?
- Gokaiger? Maybe it wasn't a total 35 year actor reunion, but all 35 years of Super Sentai was fully represented. Saban? Forget snubbing pre Zyurangers Super Sentai, they're trying to Sub over 80% of Saban' s own history AND the Disney era of Power Rangers! How messed up is that!
Saban better stop production on Super Megaforce, do a full inside out evaluation of their priorities, then go into full on Dr. Phil counseling with both the Saban and Disney era Power Rangers. If they're going to deliver a 20th Anniversary Legend War that isn't some shoddily produced, poorly made and executed, quick money maker there needs to be reason... ON BOTH SIDES INCLUDING DAVID YOST AND THE OTHER ANNIVERSARY POOPERS!!
For God's sake, everyone, pretend you give a Mighty Morphin Fuck about your fans and make this happen!

Power Rangers Megaforce Update
As I continue to wait on the laptop I began looking into podcast topics, one being Megaforce... and it is becoming more and more confusing.
Today I went over to Wikipedia to read the Wiki on it, and practically no information is posted on it past basic show info. Worst, the Wiki can't even agree on episode count. According to the main page Megaforce is 40 episodes long, which fits the Goseiger run... however the episode description page says 20 episodes, which is half of Goseiger meaning the other half is only half of Gokaiger... but as I said the show ground to a halt at Episode 9 and there hadn't been a new episode since Early April 2013, two months ago!
So back to youtube for updates... stay tuned. To Be Continued.

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.
