#SuperSentai #PowerRangers #Jetman
A slight deviation into the world of JUST Super Sentai, we'll get back to comparison videos soon.
Nice to see you talk about one of the pre-Zyuranger entries in the series. Speaking of which, when are you gonna do a video on Fiveman?
@@dannystavs2003 Potentially.
Did you notice that the Jetman mech cockpits looked exactly like the Zyuranger ones. Toei to save money on the very experimental Zyuranger decided to just redress the Jetman sets for Zyuranger.
Unlike in PR, when Super Sentai villains want you dead, they want you DEAD!
And the success of Jetman is responsible for saving a franchise that was going to be cancelled, so despite it's soap opera elements and love triangles, it's definitely a series worth checking out.
fiveman was so bad as toei changed the show so much and threw everything at the wall to make it stick that jetman needed to be a home run even if i dont like it because of many problems it did save the franchise
its really not. It's pretty overrated and to melodramtaic with unlikable characters.
@@EpicFableBean yes very overrated with one of the stupidest deaths of a ranger in franchise history with a forced love triangle that wasnt need
@@EpicFableBean Overrated? You made sure to let us know you don't know what you talked about. The series tv rating alone disqualifies your comment since it beats most of Super Sentai ratings, before it's release and after. Also, the fact they were not these invincible and immortal teenagers it's what most people loved about it.
You can say Gai's injury is awful and i agree, if he was shot it would be realistic, but other than that no. The series stands atop with Maskman.
I like Jetman!
Bonus: This season inspired a fantastic episode of Gokaiger. Where Gai, despite being dead. Came back to earth in spirit form to help fight because he didnt want the other Jetman to be involved in the fight against the Zangyack. And Marvelous had to learn courage from him.
I just saw this episode last night
To quote the shows end theme Jetman was trendy
It's so weird how the Jetman opening song has a child like wonder filled with hope and the actual show itself is dark and gritty with mature theme.
Probably cause the lesson they were going for is encouraging children to be brave-willed and strong, especially during scary times.
go watch victory gundams opening some time.
Sounds like a One Piece theme. Lol
We will teach those punks They're bad at pixar & terrible Studios
Toei & Toho
Gai’s a badass. Him and Gray’s duel was perfect. In most sentais it’s Red’s story with others acting as background.
You should review Bioman, as this series was the one Haim Saban originally wanted to adapt. As well as Battle Fever J, Denziman and Sun vulcan, as these series were co-produced by none other than Marvel Comics; with Stan Lee wanted to adapt Sun vulcan in the US before Haim Saban did. The Soda Era (Goggle V to Fiveman) in general is also good to review as the ideas it pioneered are the basis for many things in future Sentai and Power Rangers. Though Fiveman and much of Turboranger, Soda was showing burnout.
I do wonder, how would've they been able to adapt it in the first place? By the time Zyuranger came out, its more than likely all of the suits for Bioman were lost, scrapped, or recycled.
And yea, agreed with the burnout part. Toei didn't give a shit about its employee's mental health, and it backfired on them greatly with the failures of Turboranger and Fiveman.
Unfortunately, since the Hasbro buyout of Power Rangers, they've canceled Shout! Factory's contract to release Sentai seasons on DVD. Damn shame, as after Jetman, I was really hoping for more pre-PR sentai seasons to get US DVDs.
@@Morgil27 That's why? Aw man, that sucks!
@@Morgil27 Actually the Shout Factory DVD's have returned!
There is one universal truth and that truth is: Jetman Rules
Nah, Liveman is way better!
Hell Yeah, It Does!
Jetto Jetto Jetman God Danm I Love This Show im on episode 14.
Unless you are a high school freshman who accidentally busts a kid's toy... being voiced by Adam Park may enhance these odds
To the shills it might but this was one of the worst seasons in a bad decade for the series overall only fiveman and kakuranger are worse in the 90's
Dekaranger and shinkenger rule
The "monster of the week" formula had been a staple for mecha anime and tokusatsu for a long time, it's just how it was done back then.
Gai doesn't just "become a nice guy" after a 3 year timeskip. We see him growing as a person and warming up to the team over the entire series and by the last 10 or so episodes he's almost always getting along with them, even putting asides his differences with Ryu and accepting Kaori's feelings aren't for him. Did you somehow just miss all of those episodes? The way you talk about it kinda makes it sound like you did.
I think he only watched most episodes that actually plays a factor in the story instead of fillers. So he may have jumped through some of the episodes or he did watched through all of the episodes but he deemed some of it filler and decided to say something along the line of ‘it's filler.
That's what I thinkm
Nope, I watched all of them - and I stand by what I said.
@@PomeloRetro Alright
I haven't watched Jetman yet, but it kinda sounds like most poignant character developments from other season, mostly of the sixth rangers. They stablish the character but then develop them on the spam of a couple of episodes, be it on the beggining, middle or end of the series. It can be jarring for some, but that's how sentai seems to work most of the time. The exceptions are season like Go Busters and Lupinranger vs Patranger, where you see the most flawed people actually develop throughout the whole series.
It's just sentai all characters are superficial dont worry about it, just buy the toys
25:13 Yes... he married Kaori at the end, but in an earlier episode Ryu saw some of Rie's spirit in her. And a lot can happen in three years. It's also kind of a surprise, it have some impact, but it doesn't come out of nowhere.
Great review. This takes me back to when I first saw this series back in the 90s.
Tranza's fate is one of the scenes that left me disturbed as a kid.
199x isnt a megaman reference. They just didn't want to specify the date, pretty common tbh
In fact 199x was used also in the anime Hokuto No Ken
it was set in between late 1990 to 1991.. even tho the first episode premiered in 1991 and canonically ended in 1994
They have some pretty cool costumes for Jetman. This would have been a pretty tough one to adapt to Power Rangers but would have been cool.
I just finished watching this show for the first time last week, and I loved it. Yes, it suffers from a lot of the regular Sentai pitfalls, but all in all, it was a really solid bit of television. I'll need to give it some time, but I could easily see it becoming my favourite Sentai series.
Kaori's parents don't accept Gai, because they don't know anything about him. They keep asking him questions that assume he must be of a status befitting their daughter, causing Gai to feel like he can't have a future with Kaori.
I think you're slightly mistaken about calling this a kids' show. Jetman and prior Super Sentai were marketed as more of a family show, meaning it could be a hard PG or even veer into the PG-13 realm. Zyuranger was really the start of Super Sentai being more of a kids' show, though even that's more intense than what a kids' show in America usually is.
Oh, and my favorite Super Sentai is a tossup between Gekiranger and Gokaiger.
Yeah most kids shows at the end of the series doesn't have one of the main characters after defeating the bad guys, take a knife to the gut.
Then going to wedding reception of the women he loves getting married to their friend and team mate. Doesn't even let them know the is injured takes one last photo with his friend, then dies on the park bench while is friends have a great time not even realizing he is dead.
Jetman was easily my favorite. It had character growth and writing that really sets it apart from other 90s sentai.
I feel like I’m the prime audience for the melding of Dorama and Tokusatsu XD Melodrama and love triangles for days interspersed with transformations, action and robots? Yes please, inject that shit straight into my veins! That’s why the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon live action series from the 2000s holds such a dear place in my heart.
If Gai puts aside his conflict with Ryuu, or personal conflicts, basically, he shows himself as a person whose heart is in the right place...
Ah mate! I’ve been so looking forward to another of your sentai reviews and then you release it on the same day that Netflix are releasing the 2 Sailor moon movies. I’ll try and sneak a view later in the evening. Good to have you back, Hero Turtles review was fire, I remember having those VHS
It'll be live on Thursday. I'm trying to consistently get something out once a week to try and gain some favour with the algorithm.
My favourite is probably Gokaiger, that really got me into Super Sentai and I think it does a great job introducing you to Super Sentai. Although I really like Hurricengers Kabuki Style, completly butchere din the US version.
As a fellow Brit who used to focus on Power Rangers and Super Sentai content, Jetman was always an intriguing series due to it being the Sentai series before MMPR. I think it was one of the first fully translated seasons that I found and is one of only four that i’ve watched beginning to end.
I did actually cry at the end (this was about ten years ago) but think because the team had overcome so much and although I didn’t really relate to any of them, I liked that they had their own unique personalities and weren’t 100% perfect by any stretch.
The mix of tone was jarring but raised stakes, the villains were evil but entertaining and the main title theme and ending theme are both some of the best from Super Sentai. It would be very easy to say this is an overrated series however I think it distinguishes itself from some of the meh seasons and does things in a somewhat realistic way (a happy ending with losses along the way). I was invested in Rie turning good again and surviving, Gai realising that the team/friendship were more important than his questionable antics and the Jetman as a whole overcoming the threat of the Vyram.
Although i’m less invested in Super Sentai and Power Rangers as a whole now, Jetman opened the door for me to try watching more Super Sentai and understand the appeal which i’m grateful for. Great review man 👍🏻
Jetman and zyuranger rocked🙃
Black Condor Suit actor is a thief who stabs Gai in the last episode
The irony is that Jetman protected people from Monsters but in the end, one of them got killed by one of those people
Well they didn't do a really good job considering how much random people were slaughtered by monsters and then just forgotten about
I've loved power rangers since I was a child but could never really get into the Sentai due to the language barrier turning me away, but through your videos about them I've gained a huge appreciation for them!
Me?! I watched plenty of other anine series in Japanese and I can get passed the language barrier. Hell, there are plenty of other French Netflix shows that were dubbed in English such as "Lupin" and "Money Heist." And many of the french-speaking viewers couldn't get passed the language barrier, themselves. So, let's see you top that.
@@xgray2012 "So, let's see you top that." Did you seriously expect a clap after you wrote that or are you being ironic?
Me: *Not paying attention*
Retro: In one episode Maria turns into a vampire
Me drops everything that I was doing: Yes I would let her bite me A N Y DAY!
Maria is beautiful
@@temarket but the vampire part makes it all worth it
@@KRDecade2009 every episode with Maria are great.
I have always said if Jetman was adapted before Zyuranger, Paul Schrier (Bulk) would've been the Yellow Owl and Jason Narvy (Skull) would've been the Black Condor.
Good theory I've thought of that too
Fun fact the cockpits for the Jet Machines, Jet Icarus, and Jet Garuda are reused as the cockpits for the Guardian Beasts/Dino Zords, DaiZyujin/Dino Megazord, and Goryujin/Dragonzord in Battle Mode in Zyuranger & MMPR Season 1. Speaking of Zyuranger Yūta Mochizuki who plays Geki in Zyuranger and Hideki Fujiwara who also plays Dan from Zyuranger guest star in this series. Even Gokaiger confirms that Gai died at the end of Jetman too.
Gai was a Chad. One of the best charactera
I've watched more than my share of Sentai, and I can tell you in the early years, a lot more civilians died from monster attacks.
Pomelo, as a guys who's been eagerly awaiting more of these, I'm so happy to see this. And I also cannot wait for your Gingaman vs Lost Galaxy video. If I can offer a bit of constructive criticism, I have to say the music constantly playing in the background of the whole video is just ever so slightly jarring, though.
There's music in the background?
HOW DID YOU NOT BRING UP THE CASINO EPISODE?????
I’m glad to hear there’s another Ohranger fan, I really liked that series.
Favorite seasons of Super Sentai would be Kyuu kyuu Sentai GoGoFive and Mirai Sentai Timeranger. both have my two favorite teams over all, favorite villains, and favorite plots
Ressha Sentai Toqger is my favorite season. Also Jetman is the same for me as a season, elements of greatness, held down by a frustrating love triangle and lack of focus on other interesting characters.
Gekiranger was a good series, as was Gokaiger. Watching gokaiger as my introduction to Super Sentai made me want to watch the other ones and find out the backstories behind the previous teams. Though my current most favorite season has to Kyoryuger hands down. It was just the right amount of zany for me.
Then the disaster known as Zyuranger happened, which had such poor ratings that they were pretty much forced to introduce Burai to save the show.
Also if you are shocked by the violence, then I think your a bit too used to PR, which generally censors such things.
Pretty sure burai was alway in the plans for that show they just wrote him really well and he was the best part of that series
I hate to be "that guy", but I think you missed the point of Ryuu and Kaori's wedding at the end. They'd been teasing a romance between the two basically from the start. However, Ryuu wasn't able to move past his feelings for his lost fiancee Rie. By the end of the series though, he was finally able to come to terms with losing her, and begin a new life with Kaori. It's Ryuu's entire character arc.
It is... but it makes no sense. Kaori obviously looks up to Ryu - but she offers nothing to him. At no point does he even hint that he likes her. Once he moves past his feelings for Rie, it's a marriage of convenience. Simply... "Sure, okay, you'll do."
@@PomeloRetro Fair point. It probably wasn’t as well executed as it could have been. I knew it was coming, but I was surprised how little they really set it up, given the legendary reputation the Jetman love-triangle seems to have among the fandom.
The part About Kairi being Middle class now makes a lot of Sense if you know Japan's law Or Rules on Royalty Marrying a Commoner ( Ryu ), That once they marry a Commoner they're not royalty anymore and are pretty much Locked out of most Cash and Perks
Im just still recovering that canonically, in sentai. There are two Dans, both are blue rangers, and both share the same actor. But are from two different teams
I'd say it's more confusing that canalogicly Sentai, Kamen Rider, Metal Heroes and possibly Precure all take place in the same world.
Honestly, I feel the need to interject here and clear up what is clearly a misconception on your part: the idea that Super Sentai is a children’s show like Power Rangers. Because that’s a flawed observation on two levels.
First, only certain eras of Super Sentai are aimed specifically at children. The children specific era actually starts roughly around Abaranger (Dino Thunder). Prior to that, it was actually aimed more at families as a whole to watch together. And the earlier you get, the older it skews. I’m surprised this is off putting to you, as Ohranger was pretty close in terms of violence and death (though so also ironically the season that began toy sales being an important focus). If violence shocks you in Sentai, let this be a trigger warning about Battle Fever J.
Second, even at it’s most child centric, Sentai is aimed at an older age group than Power Rangers. Sentai tends to aim for 10 and up, while Power Rangers is aimed at the 5-7 crowd. As a result, certain seasons of Sentai have been passed over it heavily edited due to different thresholds for violence in the two franchises. This was actually one of several reasons cited back in the day for not fully adapting Dairanger, and it was the reason the Morphers were changed when adapting Gekiranger (Jungle Fury).
Actually you are a bit off. Sentai is literally made for small kids in Japan. Basically kids under 10. Nobody over 10 actually watched Sentai in Japan. Power Rangers and Super Sentai are aimed at exactly the same audience the only difference is what can you show in western shows vs what can you in Japan. I know this because I spent a few years teaching English to Japanese. I dunno how was it 30 years ago. But it's like this now.
Dude I dont know why people dont graps this. Super Sentai was and is a series for children. The only difference is the standard for it between the 2 countries. Jesus Christ
Dude its always been a childrens show the only thing is that in the 44+ years its been around the thing acceptable for a children show has been tone down a bit thiers thing from. 1979 that wouldnt work on 2021 but its always been aimed at kids
It's for kids. Deal with it.
30:35 - Pomelo : *Claims that Jet Icarus has the cooler Megazord design*
Me : Trust me, when you got to watch the Showa era shows like Bioman, Flashman, and Maskman, those shows have some of the peak Megazord designs.
Edit : Changed coolest to cooler
Not the coolest. One of the cooler I've seen so far. I like the simplicity of it.
There's an episode of the 35th anniversary series, Gokaiger, which has Gai come back from the dead for a day after charming God in a bar in heaven.
Oh man I love this series, even if my favorite member its kinda just a joke. Im hype for this. Thanks Pomelo
Yellow Owl? He's my favorite too!
@@saltypersian he is great, wish he had more scenes or some sort of bigger role
I love this series but the Toku series are meant for all to watch not just kids
Growing up I loved Power Rangers. Mighty Morphin was my childhood and I watched all the way up to Wildforce. My personal favorite was Time Force. I don't know much about Super Sentai other than what little I've heard from others. I did however watch the Time Force equivalent, Time Ranger and I really liked it.
Super Sentai LOVES that quarry. You know shits about to go down.
I love this show. And the reason is because the jetman famicom game, was the 2nd famicom game I played. Hence doing research, and finding about the show...and where power rangers came from. I like that they have alot of weapons. The bird smasher, bringer sword, bird gauntlet. Then the gun gets an upgrade. Bird/jet garuda is my favorite 2nd mech in the series of the ones I have watched. I've just bits and pieces of stuff I'd like to do...but probably will never get it. Megazord vs icarus and dragonzord vs bird garuda. I think icarus and garuda would win 😛
I liked gai character...the first time I watched it. This def is more for adults. Gai comes back in the manag I heard. K really don't care for the other characters besides Ryu. I'm never the main hero fan. But I n this case, I like ryu.
Thanks for the uploads and time put into this
Jetman was almost turned into a power ranger series
Truly
I wish it had been, it almost seems like the original MMPR characters were based on the Jetman ones, especially Billy and Raita.
yeah but from what i read fox refused to use it because of its motif because it was to close to hawkman of dc and they wouldnt allow the series like that on its block
@@TheFrontzClub Fox did use Marvel Back in the 90's Especially Fox Kids
@@hakeemxsonicgarner5165 im well aware they had the best animated shows from spiderman to the xmen and of course pokemon digimon season 1 and 2 TMNT sonic then add in MMPR and kids today dont know how good we had it on saturday mornings in the 90's
Man, i maybe never watched the series of Chojin Sentai Jetman, but the video game for NES is just awsome! The 8-bit soundtrack, the visuals, the gameplay... i freaking love it!
Yellow Owl said "not my fucking cabbages."
I've always got this opening song in my head! Much thanks and safety as always my friend!!
Looking forward to this Mate.
This series is how i found you as a creator.
Gai was a asshole, but like Bakugou; he's the one with the most character and development.
Man, I'm really glad your content exists. Thank you.
"Things don't end too well for him" scene of him blowing the fuck up lol I laughed so hard at that
fuunny thing is Gai was stabbed by the man who was his suit actor,and also in the last roll call of Jetman the teams roll call is timed almost perfectly with the waves in the background that crash when they say their names, but it doesn't happen with ako
If you want a modern suggestion on what to cover next may i suggest Uchu Sentai Kyuranger, it is widely considered one of the best modern series and is beloved by alot of people (myself included) it's a fun series with memorable characters and goes for the space opera angle with the earth already being taken over by an evil force from before episode 1
I'll look into it.
Saw the link and clicked immediately. You do good work, sir.
Much appreciated!
21:05 - The best way I can think of to explain most of this is to just say the General was out of his mind and talking out his ass when it came to getting 'replacements' for his team. Otherwise, Skyforce would have just done this later on AFTER the General was relieved of command offscreen.
I just finished watching this series today early this morning on DVD
As an adendum, it is worth watching the Gokaiger episode "Forever Wings"
I just finished binge watching Jetman. The love triangle wasn't really a love triangle to me. I mean, Gai took his pursuit of Kaori seriously because she was the first women to ever reject him, which I don't think he is use to. At the same time, I knew it wasn't really going to last because he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who likes to be tied down. Kaori was in love with Ryuu, who was still hung up on his dead girlfriend, which is why he was all Gai pursuing Kaori.
I thought it was cool that they were going to have a couple joining as rangers but then my hopes were dashed when Rie 'died'. And then, when they got reunited, I thought, please reunite them for good. Nope. They should have kept her alive because they more chemistry then Kaori and Ryuu.
I like Jetman because unlike other Super Sentai heroes, with the exception of Kaori, they had to be convinced to join, instead excepting right away, they had no training and they did not know each other. I like the fact the fact they had to struggle to bond as team and individually, instead of accepting their role right away, whereas mostly, in most Super Sentai, it was either they were friends, they were already heroes, they were descendants of warriors or they were looking for the last person to join their team in the first episode. With Jetman, they had to start from scratch, they got their powers by sheer accident.
With the villains, it was interesting that they didn't have a leaders or general. it was just a group of villain, trying vie for the top spot to see who can defeat Jetman and conquer earth.
My only complaint and this is my complaint regarding a lot of the older Sentai female heroes, and I think someone made mention of this. They do not know how to write badass female fighters. I found this with Mei during Zyuranger and even sometimes Rin in Dairanger, too. It annoyed me that they either had to pair the girls with each other, or that they can't fight without the guys. which is why I prefer the PR girls, because they can hold their own on a fight. Yes, guys have muscle strength but where girls lack in that, they make for it in grace, agility and in being nimble. I wish they would show that in the fighting scenes.
I agree. The reason I struggled to like the characters is partly because you had two different types of alpha male and a relatively one-dimensional pouting princess. Meanwhile, you had another female character that was younger and had all the potential to be a badass but she was never really utilised.
Both Ako and Raita often felt like side-characters... whereas they had potential for more well-rounded characters arcs... and generally, I liked them more.
Way back in the early nineties, power rangers became popular, and some toy sections of department stores managed to have shelves of Jetman toys to pass off as rangers. Oh if I only knew then what I know now.
Ah, Jetman, one of my favorites and the only Sentai series I've actually finished (after making it through a good bit of both Zyuranger and Dairanger). I actually enjoyed that the story was a bit more adult than what we normally get in the US for kids TV. A couple things I thought of while watching the video.
I believe that the actors who played Ryu and Kaori actually married in real life, as well. I saw Ryu's actor in a Japanese zombie movie called Junk where he played a member of the Yakuza.
A few years ago, Joe Rovang (creator of the now defunct Writer's Guide to Power Rangers site) wrote out a Power Rangers style adaptation for Jetman called "Power Rangers Take Flight". In the story, he gives an explanation for why the villains don't send out more than one monster at a time: in this adaptation, the monsters tend to be territorial and will fight each other on sight. In the mid-season finale, the character based off of Maria unleashes ten Dimensional Monsters (all original creations in this case), and they would tend to either fight each other or affect the civilian populace, with one monster, created from a graveyard angel statue, being the strongest.
Grew up watching sentais in the 90s. Bioman was the first one I've seen. Jetman and Fiveman were my favorites.
Gai was only a complete A-Hole for the first few episodes, holding his Jetman power hostage and eventually becoming the Vegeta of the show until Veronica when he tells Ryu that he owes him a drink. THAT is the part when they start to become good friends. The in the last episode he says, that he’s going to his “BEST FRIENDS”wedding.
If your best friend died, I’m sure his name would be a candidate for naming your own offspring.
You totally didn’t watch it my dude. You probably hated Gai from episode 2 and refused to pay attention to his parts.
No
@@PomeloRetro yes
Best sentai season
Debatable 'cause personally I like Shinkenger more than Jetman
Well the western view of death deems to be completely different than eastern views so because of that we get people dieing in these shows much more often even tho its a kids show
I've really enjoyed your Sentai / Power Rangers videos. I know it's a different production company than Super Sentai, but I was wondering if you had considered doing a Gridman / Super Human Samurai Syber-Squad comparison at some point?
I'm not familiar with it- but never say never.
I saw a few episodes. I'll be watching this one for sure. It's the right thing to do and it should be applauded
FINALLY! After so many weeks of waiting! 😂
I guess to some one used to more clean PR super sentai's death counts might be shocking but that's difference between how things are done in Japan compared to USA. In Japan they don't look down at target audience which in case of most tokusatsu is children. They trust that children aren't stupid and can handle concept of death without trying to hide or sugar coat it.
I do think that my favorite super sentai is Dekaranger but I also really like Gekiranger and Shinkenger.
Its funny when I was a child I saw Jetman after Power Rangers Zeo and thought why did Japan made a knock off. Nevertheless, I still liked Jetman that time and my favorite will always be Yellow Owl. After the disastrous Megaforce, I checked Sentai cause I know there is more to the pirate motif and booi Gokaiger didnt disappoint. And the rest was history.
For now, my big 3 sentai are Gokaiger, Shinkenger and Jetman.
What ever happened to the lost galaxy review you were working on?
That's next.
I’ve been waiting for this all day been watching your old videos constantly
Jetman is the very first Super Sentai that I watched (before Power Rangers was a thing) and as such, it will always hold a special place in my heart, but I think you do make some good points about its shortcomings. As I child I loved Ryu, but now I see how bland he actually is, and as for Gai, the reason he's so iconic is because of the phenomenal performance by Toshihide Wakamatsu. But as an adult, I think I appreciate shows like Bioman more: IMO it's got the perfect blend of maturity and candidness.
As an aside, if you feel that the deathcount is high in Jetman, never watch Liveman, it's even worse there (I honestly cannot watch Liveman without becoming depressed, it's that bad).
Hey
"non entertaining version of Cassidy" = pleonasm of the year
when you don't spark on damage anymore and blood starts spilling so kiddie gloves come off
I've always been more of a Power Rangers fan, but Jetman is still awesome.
Jetman was also a good video game too. PS2 cartridge at that, wow!!!
Love that you are doing seasons that werent used for the US show also!
lmao I didn’t expect a reference to my little dog Pockets in a review of a 30 year old sentai series, that’s some freshly squeezed Tetra Boy.
Grey is one of the coolest enemies ever
Usually when the do a dark season the next one is a silly season
Zyuranger proves it
Nice video! you should make a review of the others super Sentai seasons that wasn't adapted in America. It's very interesting to see something different from what we already know.
I love this series Fish its something your personality and charm can deliver perfectly.... keep it up mate
Enjoy your content, one of the few people I subscribe to, your power rangers content is what drew me to your channel yonks ago but tend to lurk rather than post.
Would be interested on your take on vr troppers/bettleborgs/masked rider etc.
Did you ever watch a show called "Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog"
Thank you.
No, I've never heard of those. Would you recommend them?
@@PomeloRetro if you can track it down Mystic Knights was really under rated for its time. They cancelled it after ( I think) 1 season to put the extra money in to Power Rangers Lost Galaxy budget (loved lost galaxy can't wait till your Sentai comparison video on that one!)
Or did you mean vr troopers/bettleborgs/masked rider which were sister series to power rangers?
I think you'd hate/love/hate beetleborgs
Keep these absolutely delicious videos coming. You are one of the best out there.
Everyone knows Gai is the best SS character. The perfect antihero.
a channel about both Super Sentai and Gameboy?? Ok that's an easy sub for me
If you can, please review hikari Sentai maskman. I think it is a very solid show
A few people have asked for that one. I will try to get around to it.
Jetman has always been a favorite of mine, always loved the shits, specially the white and blue one
You liked Ako? Yikes. I thought she was insufferable and I prefered Ryu. But i'm glad I wasnt the only one who had a problem with the characters.
I like characters that have personality.
You thought Ako was insufferable? She was one of the best characters

Jetman was awesome also one of the catchest Sentai intros, looking forward to your gingaman comparison
So when is the Power Rangers Lost Galaxy vs. Seijuu Sentai Gingaman Comparison video coming out?
It's editing now, it'll take a few weeks. It's a lot to get through.
@@PomeloRetro Understandable. Also great pick with Jetman. My first Sentai season and blew my mind! Such a good show
May be my next one to own. Just finished Timeranger and Hyakujuu is rather pricey.
Jetman is my favorite show hands down. I enjoyed all the for lack of a bette term “gritty” aspects of it.
You should try ChoJuu Sentai Liveman next. It will blow your mind at what Japan lets children watch.
Spoilers.
I believe this season was meant to pay homage to Gatchaman, down to the character tropes
Unfortunately that means a lot of the writing and characterization are very much of its time, down to Kaori having the personality trait of "the girl."
