A recent interview with Kidscreens’ Magazine has shed an interesting light on the upcoming Ranger season:
The next season of the series, Power Rangers Megaforce, is set to premiere in early 2013 with the return of many historic Rangers.”
What could this mean for the new season? And who could be coming back?

Now on to the good stuff!!
There’s a lot of information there to digest. The important thing to take away is the incorrect information from yesterday – Goseiger was NOT selected because Gokaiger is too boy-focused and features unattractive themes like plundering/looting. Regarding some of the quotations from Saban Brands regarding Megaforce and Goseiger…
…need I remind everyone at the start of Power Rangers Samurai, the cast was on record stating “we are different characters than the Japanese series, it’s a different show entirely.” It turns out, Power Rangers Samurai is a direct episode-by-episode, line-by-line translation of Shinkenger.
Time will tell what we have in store for us. If the only change to the story is five high school teenagers compared to five angels, it’s going to be a long two years. Unless of course you thoroughly enjoyed Goseiger, in which case, you must be pretty excited! (we’re talking about you Sentai).
Enjoy!
This report from the ongoing licensing expo gives some unusual insight into the selection of Megaforce:
You may be wondering why Power Rangers Megaforce used Goseiger rather than Gokaiger, which was an ideal season based on the successful execution of the anniversary concepts. I wasn’t able to get a solid answer for this question. They believed that Gokaiger’s pirate theme was more focused for boys (rather than boys and girls) and the concepts of stealing and plundering were too hardcore for a young audience.
Despite a grim outlook for the Legendary Pirates, an updated report suggests more to this Sentai selection than meets the eye:
They are unable to skip a season, which makes sense because Goseiger comes before Gokaiger. Gokaiger fans will be very pleased when the time is right. Unlike the Shinkenger adaptation, Power Rangers Megaforce has gone through an extensive creative process in hopes to deliver a great product for the anniversary.
What else could this mean for future adaptations, if any??? Stay tuned as we do our best to keep you informed! :)
