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.

Before it was known as Power Rangers Zeo it was Cho-Riki Sentai OhRanger, a series designed to pay homage to old military shows and featured every series head writer for the previous Super Sentai seasons as contributors to the scripts of OhRanger. Sadly, the Aum Shinrikyo terrorist cult attacked the Japanese subway system, releasing tear gas that killed 15 individuals and injured another 30. Their leader’s thoughts closely aligned to what OhRanger‘s story line was intended to be (an ancient civilization giving super powers to people of today) and the show’s direction was scrapped and the series re-written, becoming one of the least successful and least popular Super Sentai shows of its time.

But thanks to Millionfold Curiosity FanSubs, and the ever popular translator MegaAnon, the series Cho-Riki Sentai OhRanger is now being subtitled and released to fans around the world. This is an incredibly excellent chance to catch a series that, as far as I know, was either never subtitled in its entirety or was long ago and has since been lost (or it was just a bad sub/bad quality video).

Click here to go to MillionFold Curiosity FanSub’s release of Cho-Riki Sentai OhRanger! And be sure to discuss your thoughts on this show (which changed themes due to the terrorist attack somewhere around Episode 8 or Episode 9) on our discussion thread linked to this post!

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!

With the upcoming season finale of Power Rangers Super Megaforce, we will see the return of many cast members from previous seasons of Power Rangers, including the likes of Jason Faunt, Melody Perkins, Danny Slavin, Hector David Jr., Britney Pirtle, Patricia Lee, Reggie Rolle, Sean Johnson, Alison MacInnis, Selwyin Ward, and of course, Jason David Frank. But with the announcement of a new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie and the next series to be produced, a dinosaur themed show titled Power Rangers Dino Charge, a lot of fans have been clamoring for more Rangers to return – specifically as many of the original cast of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as possible.

And while nothing is guaranteed or promised, one can only assume that the powers of Saban Brands would not only like to keep the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in the spotlight for as long as possible, but would love for an opportunity to bring back as many older fans to the franchise as possible. And the best way to do that is to bring back some of their classic heroes – and one that has been picking up steam in terms of popularity is none other than the original Red Ranger, Austin St. John.

On his official Facebook page, Austin St. John posted just the other day something that should get all the fans excited and pumped – ”IF” he were to return, would you want him in the show, the movie, and what would his role be? He specifically mentions that the powers that be are watching his page. If you want the original back to action, this is where you as a fan have to step up and take part!

Click here to see his Facebook page – be sure to “Like” it! And once you’ve done that, help spread the word to all the other Power Rangers fans out there – ”Like” and “Share” this post about his possible return! Who wouldn’t love to see Austin St. John return as the Silver Ranger in Power Rangers Dino Charge? Who says Bragigas can’t be a new Titanus? Help spread the word and let’s bring back the original Power Ranger!
