Conversations over the latest happenings was excellent. I picked up a Gokai Green action figure same day I met MMPR Blue, Black and Green at a comic convention. One of the most memorable days of my life.<br /><br />- Also got into DC Universe Online around that time and based my hero around Luka Millfy, though she ended up being more insect themed as time went on.<br /><br />- There are Sentai themes that get stuck in my head often (Dairanger, Kakuranger, Shinkenger especially), but there's no series where the midshow music pops in as much. From the heroic comeback music to the transformation music to even the one-time theme that played over GokaiSilver's first DaiZyuJin transformation. It's stuck in my head now, and I don't think I've listened to it in over a year.<br /><br />- I think one thing you neglected to mention is how... unique each pirate is. You mentioned the amazing chemistry and comedy that came with their unsuited performances, but each one has a very physical personality that shines through their suits which is extremely important when they all dress as the same color sometimes. Luka is always brash and flippant, Joe is serious and economical, Ahim fluid and proper (prim? majestic? princess.), Don unconventional and wonderfully foolish, Gai over-the-top and flamboyant, and Marvy-chan... well, simply marvelous. Swagger. Confidence. Punkish.<br /><br />One of my favorite shows of all time, not just of nostalgia or childish joy. It's such a tragedy the American retool was so disappointingly awful.Scoot Pookinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00942629514936320829noreply@blogger.com
