Recently, Seban has stepped up on finding any episodes on youtube as well as on other sites and claimed them. If you or anyone who wants to watch the series, go to http://www.watch-power-rangers-online.com/ (yes highly creative name)they have all the episodes. And yes, I will respectively wait for the next HOPR.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-45723542190481182802012-03-06T08:07:11.362-06:002012-03-06T08:07:11.362-06:00I knew it.

Plus with all the stuff on Atop the Fourth Wall as of late- while I like it I do sort of see some issue with the videos getting longer and longer with each plot related episode- he likely won't have SPD ready for us until he's on vacation from all this at some point.<br /><br />Still I had hoped this turn of events would have caused him to take away the rule about watching the entire next series to see what stuck with him. But that just means one episode whenever be it a year or two, or until he runs out of story ideas or fans get really really sick of story in his video. neither of which is happening any time soonGusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-85691053985723577062012-03-05T14:37:27.835-06:002012-03-05T14:37:27.835-06:00Again, like the comments above, I hate to be one o...Again, like the comments above, I hate to be one of THOSE people who constantly whine and order you to hurry up but it's been nearly a year now since you uploaded a new HOPR. I understand that this is probably low on your priority list right now but maybe you could just post something to let us know when the next one will be coming out so we have an idea of the time period to wait.

To me, that episode was a backwards interpretation of exactly what Japan thinks of us. I know several Japanese people who love Power Rangers MORE than they like their own show, Super Sentai. They all said the exact same thing, they like it because it's different and they like to see what kind of interpretation America makes to their show. I hate that some U.S. fans (Sentai elitist) believe that Japan doesn't like Power Rangers because that's a lie. The fact is that most of them LOVE Power Rangers. I'm not going to say that everything that Power Rangers has done is gold but I won't say that everything Power Rangers has done sucks either. I agree with everything you said about PR:DT.

It gets better towards the end, but this one just isn't as awesome.<br /><br />To be honest, the Civilian Powers argument has always struck me as somewhat stupid. They're an obvious hedge against the fact that an untransformed Ranger is a vulnerable Ranger. Style or feel doesn't enter into the equation; it's a matter of tactics.<br /><br />This actually looks surprisingly good, but then I may just be getting a false positive off Tommy's obviously improved acting skills. The fact you've put in little to show the acting of the others is a little...suspicious.<br /><br />Tommy as Batman again? Power Rangers Beyond! "The voice called me Bruce.

However back then I had hoped that the Dino Rangers would've gotten in a few good blows to the Wind Rangers. <br /><br />Zeltrax: I wish you had talked more about how awesome Zeltrax was (no joke). I believe even before he became "Super Zeltrax" he had a few good fights/scenarios. IMO he's one of the best 2nd in commands in the Power Rangers series/universe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-55465011505816256162011-07-19T20:08:20.044-05:002011-07-19T20:08:20.044-05:00Personally I never thought "civilian powers&q...Personally I never thought "civilian powers" made sense because they never used them when it was convenient. <br /><br />Kira can't use her "Canary Cry" when she's wearing her helmet, and on "SPD", Jack's phasing and Z's duplication power could have been incredibly useful during ranger fights, but they never explained why they didn't use them. Then again the notion of how the SPD rangers got their powers is a bit sketchy but I'm sure we'll get there soon enough.<br /><br />Also, you frequently comment on the aesthetic elements like the theme song, ranger suit and Battlizer design and even morpher shape and function, but I'm curious how you would grade the actual morphing sequence? Do you prefer the quick cry of Mighty Morphin' over later sequence that show detailed transition from protagonists with attitude to full ranger? How do you feel about the surroundings of the morphing? We've had everything from metal corridors, exterior environments to featureless backgrounds.<br /><br />Don't feel you have to answer, its just been on my mind lately since I was catching up on "Mystic Force" to prepare from your eventual video and it just struck me as odd how in the shining moment when these kids become heroes, we get a shot of their flying asses. Not exactly the stuff legends are made of.<br /><br />Just a thought.
