More Details on the Kamen Rider Fourze Movie

Posted on May 30, 2012 at 12:23 pm by Chris under Kamen Rider

Coming in August of this year to a theater near you (if you live in Japan that is) will be the continued tradition of each Kamen Rider series having a movie, as Kamen Rider Fourze the Movie – Everyone it’s Space Time! releases. And just like with the Gokaiger movie which featured Gavan, the Kamen Rider Fourze movie will feature another long-thought-dead Tokusatsu series of characters, Uchuu Tetsujin – or Space Ironmen.

Thanks to Jefusion and Henshin Justice, here’s a brief translation of the story involving the Space Ironmen!

With the use of Cosmic Energy, Grandain was created together with his sister, Skydain by the Federation of Alicia. When they were activated, they already have their own will, and decided to rebel against humanity. Skydain has two blades on her arms that she can fold out, while, Grandain had a weapon called GranBuster X, a cannon on his chest.

Black Knight is the third Space Ironman is called. He works together with Inga Blink (Mikie Hara) of the Federation of Alicia. He mostly relies on his strong defensive armor instead of offensive attacks. On his chest, he has a mounted machine gun. As a weapon, he uses a rapier called “Blackest Leaver.”

Kamen Rider Fourze The Movie releases August 4th and is directed by longtime Power Rangers stunt choreographer Koichi Sakamoto. Get ready for space time!

The 10th Anniversary of Power Rangers 10th Anniversary – Forever Red

Posted on May 27, 2012 at 11:09 pm by Chris under Power Rangers

On May 24th, 2002, famed Power Rangers scribe Amit Bhaumik finished his final draft of an episode of Power Rangers Wild Force that was meant to serve as a celebration/anniversary episode for 10 years of Power Rangers. Those of you who follow and are fans of Power Rangers will know that episode forever as Forever Red, probably the greatest “fanboy” moment in all of Power Rangers nearly 20 year history.

The story was total fan-service – remnants of the evil Machine Empire (Power Rangers Zeo) had regrouped on the surface of the moon to dig up Lord Zedd’s personal zord, Serpentera (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers). In a mission deemed top secret, veteran Power Ranger and team leader Tommy Oliver (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, Power Rangers Zeo, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, Power Rangers Turbo, Power Rangers Dino Thunder) gathered together all the Red Rangers of the past (minus Rocky) to team up and destroy the remnants of the Machine Empire as well as Serpentera.

To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the Power Rangers 10th Anniversary, Amit Bhaumik has updated his personal blog with some details regarding the early days of drafting Forever Red, including new photos and scans of some of the original drafts/ideas/etc.

Click here to check out the Forever Red blog!

Share your favorite memories of Forever Red in our discussion thread attached via this story. Is Forever Red the best Power Rangers team up? Or was Once a Ranger a better team-up? Maybe you just prefer the team-ups mid season between two teams like “Reinforcements from the Future”. Join in the discussion!

And the title for Power Rangers 2013 is…

Posted on May 18, 2012 at 10:34 am by Chris under Power Rangers

When we helped break the news some time ago with a translation from a TOEI interview regarding how Toei was re-shooting the Pirate Sentai Gokaiger “Legendary War” footage to contain US-only heroes, the speculation began across the entire Power Rangers fan community that there was a possibility that we’d get Gokaiger as the 20th Anniversary Season in 2013.

Well, thanks to the on-going casting and information thread both at RangerBoard as well as at RangerCrew, we have the audition role for the male Power Rangers call-backs script.

Why is that important?

Well, for starters it mentions a working title for the 2013 season, as well as giving away what series may be the final one coming for the anniversary season. Curious to find out? Click the story title (or the discuss link) and read the casting spoiler!

For those of you who grew up watching the Power Rangers, as you got older I’m sure you always stopped to wonder how these “teenagers with attitude” always managed to go fight. What happened if they were sick, hungover, or just didn’t really feel like going out and saving the world AGAIN for the ump-teenth-billion time?

Check out the following video for a fun laugh!
