We had been entertaining the possibility of past Rangers joining us for the longest time and didn't think it was possible to do. Due to so many requests from a number of past Rangers (as well as an overwhelming amount of requests from the fans, too!) we, as a production, talked it over and agree that it is a fabulous idea that we would like to make happen. This is also a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge all of the loyal fans and thank them for their support over 20 years. We want this to happen and we want as many of you as possible over here with us!!

Next comes the nitty-gritty of organizing such a task. The unfortunate reality is that including past Rangers was not part of our original budget. In order to include as many of you as possible in this shoot, we do not have massive funds at the individual level to offer each of you. We do hope that you bear this in mind as you consider our offer.

Your travel would depart LA on approx: May 22nd to arrive in NZ on May 24th, this day would be for fittings, then filming would take place on May 25th and 26th. May 27th would be a sightseeing day that we will organize, with your flight departing that evening

Please consider what this would mean to the fans to have so many past Rangers together in the same place at the same time.
New Zealand is a beautiful country and the current Rangers and crew here would all be honored to have you join us for this special 20th anniversary. We will try our best for sunny weather while you're here, too!

We truly wish that we were able to offer you more, and we hope that you will still consider this opportunity to join us as a Ranger once again.
It would be tremendous to welcome you here.

This is going to be a train wreck.

-Most MMPR-Wild Force actors wont show up/be invited because of traveling to New Zealand and the low pay

-Many Ninja Storm-RPM actors wont show up because the show is non-union again

Yup, I agree. I remember when talk of Super Megaforce was just getting started there was rumors going around that Saban originally wasn't even going to incorporate much of anything from Gokaiger. I wonder if that was really the case and then they had to relent, which screwed them budget-wise. That's kinda what this is screaming to me.

I might give Super Megaforce a couple of episode before saying screw it and waiting for the GoBusters adapatation.

Frankly, I'd be fine if they mostly even kept Go-Buster's storyline. Although honestly, I'm not sure how much will be adaptable, footage wise.

I've stuck with Power Rangers throughout my life. Even though I may enjoy watching Super Sentai now, that doesn't stop me from enjoying Power Ranger, legitimately or Ironically.

They've had what? 2-3 years to prepare for this? I don't see how they didn't see this coming.

Ahahaha this is fucked. Even at their lowest point Disney assembled a decent anniversary cast. Saban Brands is a joke.

you guys should have known that Saban Brands pretty much was created from Democratic Fundraising and Hollywood favors. They never had the capital. Disney didn't care, they wanted marvel from the get go and they got it.

Why would that be any better? That's not an anniversary series so it'll probably have an even smaller budget.

Very true, but one can always hold out hope. I usually give shows a couple of episodes in general before I drop them. Plus at my house if a show is truly horrible, we usually make a game of Riffing it.

Jesus Christ. And isn't Blake from Canada as well? Damn with this little effort why bother with actual actors? Just get soundbites and work from there

I hope Justin shows up and morphs, but Saban is cheap as fuck so they just use the old stock footage of him morphing and play it off normally.

If Justin appears over all the awesome actors they could have gotten I will be sorely pissed. They might as well reuse the ninja turtles with that lame.

I remember watching Turbo the movie then the show and rolling my eyes until the camera got off him. The potential was meh

I agree plus from what I remember seeing a pic of him at a con he wasn't exactly in fighting form.

Why would anybody except the MegaForce and Samurai rangers morph?

That's another thing. Power Rangers didn't go HD and widescreen until Samurai, meaning the morphing sequences for any show older than that would have to be recreated in HD with new CGI; that means more budget.

I didn't think of that, but there's a good reason they wouldn't morph.

Holy Shit Holy Shit Holy SHIT!!!!

Guys...I was chatting with some folks on Henshin Justice and I just found out Super Climax Heroes had an Option on PSP I didn't know about in my OT.

CUSTOM SOUNDTRACK FOR BOTH FORMS, CLIMAXES, STAGES!

Tutorial on how to set it up

I just did this and now Tajador Time Judged All is playing during my matches every time I form change as OOO's into the Tajador Combo. It doesn't even drown out the voices and sound effects it literally just replaces the song in the background and you can still hear everything else (suck it xbox 1 custom track games!).

I can even set it up so both my main theme and my finale themes are different and if I set a custom stage theme and play as someone without a custom theme the stage theme plays. I'm so friggin hype right now!

This is sooooooooo awesome right now.

reXXXsoprano you need to check and see if you can do this on the Wii
This is a fucking blast. I'm gonna go and add some Rider Chips to this thing!

It's something I made up in my head that I hope happens regardless.
Ah, I'd rather see the Space rangers morph. hell, I'd rather have Zhane and Ryan back but one is virtually impossible, and the other got rejected.

You can't do it on the Wii. It's one of the advertised selling points of the PSP version.

So I got a Abarekiller suit from a guy in NC and it got to my house today. Definitely going to need some compression shorts because homeboy was kinda short and that bodysuit was up my ass like white on rice. The helmet is being shipped now so hopefully I'll have some pics for you guys. Here's one in the meanwhile of me goofing off:

Oh God yes I'm just rubbing my PSP up and down my body now. Not only can I component hook this up to play but I can get custom tracks. I got Kabuto's douchebag theme (the little song they always played when he was talking shit and pointing at the sky) setup now for his Rider Kick! Soooooooo perfect as he stands there and the song plays out.

I'm currently downloading all the precropped songs progamersdiary made for this game just for this feature. I now no longer have to listen to the halfass in game version of WBX during finales. I can use the real thing!
*fanboy-gasm*
 
I mean, the basic question is: if a Gokaigeresque retrospective with previous heroes popping up occasionaly wasn't on the cards to start with, what exactly were they planning for the anniversary series? Just retreading MMPR more literally than Samurai, but with some Gokai Change footage in the back half? Was the Gosei/Gokai mashup even part of the original plan or did they just, at one point, realise "wait, shit, isn't this the 20th anniversary of the series? Maybe we should use that pirate thing" and slap it in there mid way? Like I mentioned before, even amongst what is generally considered to be the worst season in the franchise, Disney managed to pull together a pretty decent effort for the 15th anniversary in Once a Ranger.

Even with the advantage of a couple years distance from the Sentai airing, it's like there's zero creative consideration or foresight in what's going on. Getting a bit more "complaining nerd"-y that I like with this post, but the whole thing is a mess.

It's utterly ridiculous, there's no excuse.

Toei managed to get all of these to come back with on-screen roles (more of them came back for voice-over roles, and the list doesn't cut non-Ranger returning actors, like Timeyellow's, Magired's and Abareblue's girlfriends and Professor Amachi). They even got enough of the Hurricanger cast to return to do a teamup with them!

Meanwhile, at Saban:

Yay!

Well, the logistics of flying people down to New Zealand from America compared to Sentai actors being largely concentrated in the relatively small area that is Japan makes it at least understandable that things might be a little smaller scale (though the fact that the primary cast are Americans being flown down to this part of the world really means you could get them together with previous cast members before or after the primary filming in NZ to kinda bypass that).

The fact that the production team seem to have been caught entirely with their pants down is what's so weird/inexcusable.

What shoukd I be recognizing here because it's not ringing a bell.

BoB has a point in fact he makes a whole lot of sense. Compared to the costs involved one venture is mess less relatively speaking. Plus we all knew for sometime Saban is cheap and they really couldn't go all out anyway. As much as we may like to see it happen it was to never be. I also hate to say that fooling oneself to think otherwise is just hurtful in nature.

It's funny because Toei didn't even plan half of those people coming back/tribute episodes

Saban had time to prepare, they really shouldn't be scrambling last minute.

And SPD Red didn't get invited at all. One of my favorite rangers smh.


Good to see Matt has jokes though

Shane (Ninja Storm Red) also didn't receive an invite!

SPD Blue didn't receive an invite either.

Honestly, I know i'm being too hopeful but it seems like they could just be filming the Legend War right now since they're only filming on the 25th and 26th of May. I mean, could they really get that many tributes done so quickly? Maybe they'll send out a second batch of invites to those who actually get episodes....

I would say something about boycotting Super Megaforce, but it's not like Saban would care as long as the target demographic eats it up.

toei is cheap, and japanese talent agencies are like negotiating with the devil. So ti is amazing how many returning people they did get. But I think super sentai a more like a family.

Look, if Saban cant be arsed to get Government Handouts from his friends at the white house and the DNC then fuck it. How you think is able to even get his technical teams for the fucking reediting?

I mean that's the dems in a fucking nutshell. I mean look at fucking Young Turks. Gone to that pay wall in youtube.
 
What do you mean?

The original plan was to just have guest stars for the shows that got robo parts, so Dekaranger, Magiranger, Gaoranger Hurricanger, Shinkenger Go-Onger, those guys would have returning cast members and that's it.

Then the big earthquake happened and they set up this Twitter account for kids where a ton of the old Sentai actors would chime in to cheer the kids up, write encouraging and heroic things to raise their spirits, and it started being where they were able to get in touch with Toei and a bunch of them said they wanted to be involved in Gokaiger for the kids.

So the first episode that wasn't a robo part but had a guest star I think was Gekiranger? That's why that episode felt so out of place and rushed. Then they were able to get the Red Racer back for his episode and it kind of just went from there.

It's really a beautiful story that came from something absolutely horrible.
