My Thoughts on Super Sentai Series Writers

Well I don't have much of their photos either. Anyway here's a statistics of the writers and the series they were involved in and my thoughts on some of them:

Shouzo Uehara- Writer for Goranger, JAKQ, Denziman and Sun Vulcan.

Susumu Takaku- Writer for Battle Fever J.

Hirohisa Soda- The one with the most work. He was the writer of Goggle V, Dynaman, Changeman, Flashman, Maskman and Liveman on his own. He later got the help of Toshiki Inoue for Turboranger and Fiveman. He became the co-writer of Noboru Sugimura for Ohranger and Yoshio Urasawa for Carranger.

Toshiki Inoue- His only sole work was Jetman. He did manage to change Sentai genre into creating what is still being considered by many as the best Sentai ever although others may disagree with Jetman being on the top.

Noboru Sugimura- He was the sole writer of Zyuranger, Dairanger and Kakuranger which were being used for MMPR footage for the first three seasons. He also was the head writer for Ohranger, again which was inserted into the Zordon arc and had the help of Hirohisa Soda.

Yoshio Urasawa- He was famous for the cracktastic Carranger series. I think this guy must have spent time watching nonsense shows to make such a funny show!

Junki Takegami- He wrote Megaranger, Gogo V and Gaoranger. He could be one of Judd Lynn's favorite writers. He managed to improve the sibling team concept in Gogo V and wrote in the multi-gattai sequence into Sentai through Gaoranger.

Yasuko Kobayashi- She wrote Gingaman and Timeranger. I thought of it that she's a pretty dark writer when it came to Timeranger. Nice work for a woman. Thanks for the correction from all the recent comments.

Naruhisa Arakawa- He wrote Abaranger and Dekaranger. He tends to balance the dark themes and light themes properly as to avoid the show from becoming "too dark". Since he'll write for Goukaiger, I can't wait!

Maekawa Atsushi- Magiranger was an epic family team masterpiece. Too bad he hasn't written much for Sentai.

Shou Aikawa- As Boukenger's writer, was he watching too much adventure movies? Why? Boukenger was so adventure-based and a different twist!

Michiko Yokote- The woman known as Michiko and her team did Gekiranger which was well done but Goseiger, well it started to fall down really IMO. Sorry for the Kalish comparison. :X

Junki Takegami- Go-onger's cracktastic humor and seriousness was well mixed IMO.

Yasuko Kobayashi- He had the help of Akatsuki Yamatoya and Daisuke Ishibashi while he managed to integrate the Samurai concept quite well. Shinkenger was otherwise just awesome.

Saboru Yatsude- Many of them use this as a pen name and I wonder who they are. If it wasn't for this group, Goseiger would fall.

Early Thoughts on Power Rangers Samurai as a Shinkenger Fan

While Gokaiger will launch next week, Power Rangers Samurai just began yesterday and I pretty thought of it as what would be a fun season in contrast to Shinkenger which was less fun and a lot more dark. It seems there's a little bit of jumbling as one can compare Shinkenger footage used by Saban for the first episode is that it uses footage from episode 3. I think this show will give Toei more royalties though. On the cast- well I can say that despite being new, it's always better to underact and learn to act than to overact and they do their best to give a solid performance.

However here are few of my dislikes:
I personally thought that most of the rangers are too close to their counterparts personality-wise. I hope Jayden becomes less of a hothead as Takeru is.
Bulk's return. Well that's just me but I respect others who like it but I like idiotic characters better when they're part of the hero team instead.
Shiba house? Well I just wish they gave a more original name like "Samurai Dojo".As usual, I'm not a very big fan of the PR soundtrack. :-(
