Sean Akizuki's Fantasy Critic

There was the rumor of Lost Galaxy being better than Gingaman in Japan.  So why the rumor?  Actually while it doesn't have much of a source, however it can be easily believed and it sounds quite realistic.  Why do I think so?  Lost Galaxy is really perhaps the most complex season of Power Rangers, it had an entire fusion of ideas and Sentai tributes such as: The idea of a lost galaxy kept occurring in both Super Sentai and Power Rangers.  It was never done in Super Sentai as a main theme.  Gingaman was far more mystical which was a good series. Lost Galaxy may have a lot of Gingaman in it but it integrated Changeman and Denziman themes into the story.  For instance, Trakeena is like Queen Hedrian of Denziman being a hater of beauty and all. Lost Galaxy flew farther than most PR and Sentai ever did.  Hee hee.  Plus, it was really done in such a way that it's not disappointing compared to how some seasons have cooler themes but fail. XP

It's been quite some time since a prettier babe joined the PR cast.  Hmmm... quite interestingly she is also born in 1988.  Hee hee.  FYI she's Australian. But in my humble opinion, Runa Natsui is prettier.

Ah yes.  Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo.  One of the greatest puzzle games in all history.  So what's it about?  First and foremost, it features Street Fighter and Darkstalker characters in SD form namely Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Sakura, Donovan, Hsien Ko, Felicia and Morrigan as the initially playable characters.  The hidden characters are Dan (the weakest character), Devilot and the final boss Akuma. Rather than just typical Tetris, one would put a crash gem near a gem to get rid of it.  It does pay to gather a lot of gems together before getting rid of them with crash gems.  Why?  Well for every crash gem, it sends counter gems on the other side of the arena, which will not turn to normal gems until the number countdown is done for.  The more gems popped at once, the greater the damage to the opponent which is a pretty interesting twist in Puzzle games.  The rainbow gem pops EVERY one gem of the same color when crashed near a gem of tha...

Okay I did enjoy Kamen Rider Black RX (to a certain extent) better than Kamen Rider Black because it was not so serious and well, that's just me. Though, Kamen Rider Black is the better-written show. However, there were some plotholes (and well, plotholes do exist in any Tokusatsu even in a good series like Jetman and Timeranger) in the series like: Knowing about the existence of Kamen Rider Black I've always wondered how the Crisis Empire were aware of the existence of Kamen Rider Black. Theoretically speaking, did they do some research, or was it the Great Leader himself who told them to get rid of Kamen Rider Black? It's crazy really how they tried to get him to join them even after Black DOWNRIGHT REFUSED  The return of Shadow Moon  I personally thought that it was crazy that he survived the whole incident in Kamen Rider Black so how did he remain alive without moving? The Kingstone may have revived him but it was never explained in-show. Crisis Empir...

With the fact that both G.I.Joe the Movie and Transformers the Movie were created by Sunbow, I can't help but notice the similarities.  So now for a little rundown: The fight between Duke and Serpentor.  It would remind some of the battles between Optimus Prime and Megatron although Duke is NOT the leader and it's General Hawk.  Duke was supposed to die but due to the negative impact of Optimus Prime's death by the younger audience, he was rewritten to be simply in a coma although he was poisoned near a vital organ and such an attack would kill anyone in the real life. The character Lt. Falcon (Duke's reckless maternal half-brother) would be likened to Hot Rod who first appears incompetent but becomes the hero at the end of the day.  Both were only introduced during the movie. Serpentor and Cobra Commander share a Megatron and Starscream relationship although Cobra Commander was really the real leader of Cobra and Serpentor was the usurper.  The part where Se...

There was the only one time in Kamen Rider history where one character starred for two different seasons, each one was a continuation and that was the Kamen Rider Black season.  Kotaro Minami is both Kamen Rider Black and later, Kamen Rider Black RX.   Kamen Rider Black was a dark season, one considered by some to be the best season ever.  IMO it was too dark for my taste, quite depressing for me and all but it still is one of my favorites as I grew up with him in my mind.  So it was like a remake of Kamen Rider 1 but not really.  The similarities were that he was captured by an evil organization (in here, it was called Gorgom and the first not to use foot soldiers in weird suits and it was a satanic cult), forcibly turned into a cyborg and he turns against them.  He however must rescue his foster brother Nobuhiko Akizuki who later became Shadow Moon which becomes the point of conflict.  Before that, he had to challenge that extremely arrogant a...

Hmmm flame at me all you want but here's the reality, I don't like the Power Ranger Samurai season for the following reasons: They just don't get creative with what they get.  So you've got a two whites, one Chinese girl (presumably) and at least one African set as the characters.  So okay, if they were not able to get an Asian red ranger (which I think could have been great just for this season but well, auditions do affect casting with whose the best vs. whose the worse) however, the whole issue is that they can't get creative. Trying to port the Shinkenger story into these guys is lame.  They could have at least handled things differently like the last samurai of Japan found them to be his new pupils rather than import the Shinkenger story into them and it's just being forced.  Jayden could have at least been a "karate kid" type of character than a carbon copy of Takeru- a much nicer guy than Takeru was.  Also Mia as a bad cook is lacking the char...
