Our journey with Kamen Rider Den-O ended last week and it’s time to finalize the community choice for our next segment. As we announced a few weeks ago the poll to decide the next Let’s Watch Wednesdays exclusively features 5 Power Rangers seasons as choices!

Voting has been pretty intense so far and our two front runners are currently tied. Voting to decide our next segment will remain open through Friday October 31st (Happy Halloween!) at 11:59 PM. At that time the show with the most votes will be our new segment set to begin next Wednesday November 5th.

Click discuss on the TokuNation Forums at the bottom of this post to be taken to our poll thread. There you’ll be able to choose from the 5 following options!

  • Power Rangers In Space
  • Power Rangers Zeo
  • Power Rangers Time Force
  • Power Rangers Jungle Fury
  • Power Rangers Lost Galaxy

Obviously with no new show chosen as of today there is not a new Let’s Watch Discussion to be posted. But perhaps use this time to catch up on those last couple of Den-O movies we had at the end, or get your regular weekly toku fix of Ressha Sentai ToQger & Kamen Rider Drive!

It’s time for Let’s Watch Wednesdays to select it’s next segment! Our current viewing of Kamen Rider Den-O will be all over in just a few weeks which means it’ll be time to serve up something new to the community.

This time however we’ve gone back through our old polls and nomination threads for LWW and put together an all-stars list. Not just any list either, but 5 Power Rangers series! The 5 Power Rangers series the community has voted for or nominated the most in the past are all featured in this poll! For many of us Power Rangers was our introduction to the entire tokusatsu genre, so it’s time to celebrate that influence by checking out one of these past seasons!

  • Power Rangers In Space
  • Power Rangers Zeo
  • Power Rangers Time Force
  • Power Rangers Jungle Fury
  • Power Rangers Lost Galaxy

To vote for one of these seasons to be our next segment, click “discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to our poll thread! This poll will be open from today 10/14 until 10/31 with our new segment beginning the following Wednesday.

On this day, August 28th 1993, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers made their incredible debut on US airwaves! And 21 years later, the franchise is still a booming success story with no stop in sight. Though the Power Rangers have gone through numerous iterations, transitions, actors, rangers, zords, enemies, movies, seasons, ups, downs, and everything else in between, it stands out as one of the most recognizable and marketable brands out there. With consistently strong toy sales, TV ratings, and a growing fan base of both old and brand new fans, is it any wonder Power Rangers has become the international success it is today?

Take some time out of your day today to celebrate Power Rangers coming of age for it’s 21st birthday. Share with us some of your favorite moments from the franchise. Perhaps a favorite battle, a specific character you love, maybe even just a great costume design or piece of music. Anything goes for this discussion! If you’re on social media jumping in on things, be sure to use the hashtag #PowerRangers21 and make sure your special moment is seen and shared by as many people as possible!

Power Rangers has never been stronger, and it’s all because of the fanbase it’s sustained over the last 21 years. From Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to Power Rangers Dino Charge and beyond! Let’s continue to make it successful whether it’s for another 21 years or another 100. Live the legacy!

It’s Monday – that means another Official Power Morphicon guest update! Joining the list of over 90 special guests is the beautiful, one and only Melody Perkins! She played the very iconic role of Astromena in Power Rangers In Space, the Princess of Evil who had a secret past with Andros the In Space Red Ranger. She would return in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy and become the Pink Ranger, making her the first and only series main villain to return and become a Power Ranger in another series (Rick Medina would do the opposite, going from Power Ranger to a main villain in Power Rangers Wild Force to Power Rangers Samurai). But she wasn’t the only guest to attend – check out the list of added guests below!

  • Melody Perkins (“Astronema”/”Karone”, Power Rangers In Space, Pink Ranger 2 in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy and Power Rangers Super Megaforce)
  • Elisabeth Fies (voice of the Otcophantom and Stag Beetle in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers)
  • Aaron Prunder (“Percy” in VR Troopers)

If you haven’t registered for Power Morphicon then we have some bad news – time is running out! Registration is rumored to close in the next few weeks! Don’t waste any more time – click here to begin your registration process! TokuNation.com as well as the Talkin Toku Podcast will be in attendance at this year’s show as platinum members, giving us front row seats to all panels, events, and early access to the show room! We will bring you on-the-spot coverage with news, pictures, interviews, and more! We’re also attending the show with our good friends from the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast, and we have some very fun events planned with them during the course of the show, of which we will be sure to update you on! See you at the show!

Well, that didn’t take long did it?

Saban Brands, the company that brings you every iteration of Power Rangers, has pulled the plug on their programming block known as The Vortexx. This fall, The Vortexx (a Saturday morning block of kids television) will be replaced by One Magnificent Morning, a five hour block of programming which features shows that feature family-friendly topics (our personal favorite right now is a new show called SWAG, because nothing says family like SWAG!).

The fate of the shows airing on The Vortexx right now are unknown, though a few of the shows (Digimon Fusion and Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal) air currently on Nick Toons while Dragonball Z Kai is going back to Cartoon Network for their recreated Adult Swim programming block. But why are we posting about this? Because Saban Brands had once said they were going to use The Vortexx to air the vast library of Power Rangers (everything except the new seasons, which air on Nickelodeon and Nick Toons). We didn’t even make it through the end of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy before the programming block has been removed. Looks like it’s back to Netflix or your DVD releases to catch up on all those old Power Rangers shows.

Go ahead and share your thoughts. It’s important to note that with The Vortexx ending, there is now no children’s television block airing on bare-bone basic cable on Saturday mornings. For those of who us who grew up racing home to watch cartoons after school and waking up early to watch our favorite shows on Saturday mornings, this is truly one of those things that the new generation will never get to experience.

NOTE! Saban Brands has yet to make an official announcement. There is still that possibility that The Vortexx will end up somewhere, somehow, but in all likelihood, this is the end. Thanks to ToonZone.net for the news.
