looking for sentai recs

[classicdrogn]

Well, I liked what I saw of Shinkenger in the Decade crossover episodes, but Gokaiger... they're pirates. Thieves (even historically inaccurate non-murderous thieves) on a boat refuses to connect with superhero team saving the world in my mind. It's the same reason I couldn't get into One Piece or Erementar Gerade. Maybe I'm just too ninja at heart to appreciate them? More likely it's to be blamed on Mutiny on the Bounty, Pitcairn Island, trauma from an extensively researched history paper on Revolutionary War era privateers, and a general dislike for traitors combined with the lack of honor even among themselves in Treasure Island, but being too ninja at heart sounds more badass so let's go with that. I'm thinking of giving Abaranger a try too, since Abakiller (an antihero... it figures) is my favorite of all ranger visual designs. The toy produced for the US version is one of the ones I'm most annoyed at having lost in the house fire, along with my MZ23 Garland, Great Saiyaman, YF- and VF-19s, Armada and Energon Overrides and TF Animated Cybertron-form Megatron. I actually bought two of the White Whicheverranger toys, one to be left stock and the other to have the armor mantle removed and given to one the of the black-suited generic goon toys from the same line, which were also kind of cool looking.

- CD, Ninja beats pirate, astronaut beats caveman, and engineer beats puppeteer. Booyah!
