That's good! New Generation entertainment from North America is a bad influence on society.

Eh...meh. The actual theme songs composed by the great Ron Wasserman for Jason David Franks' character slapped much harder... None of the succeeding iterations could ever hold a green candle to the original MMPR ( aka "Super Sentai Zyuranger" ). I actually couldn't believe that Wasserman changed his style when he did the music in "DinoSquad". Like WTF?! At first, I was like, "this is just some cafe hipster trying to sound like Wasserman...wait...that's Wasserman's name in the credits! Ron Wasserman composed the music for "DinoSquad!" Maybe I take music just a little too seriously but...why Wasserman? Why did you do it? RIP to the Green/White Ranger, the mightiest one of them all. In so many ways he reminded me of the character wrestlers I watched in the WCW and the WWF Monday Night Wars. I heard he even trained in MMA in real life. The man was something else. Edit: If you haven't watched "Super Sentai Zyuranger", I would highly recommend that you do. The storyline was quite different from its Western adaptations. I will warn younger and more sensitive viewers that it was considerably darker in its tone than MMPR was...more violence, important characters dying - that type of stuff.

I would actually rate this number much higher than that "Skittles" one that you posted earlier brother. I'm just trying to rank them properly in order of best to worst. You could almost say that I am obsessed with music. No, this is not kayfabe - ooooh yeeeaaah!!

I like the lyrics of that one. That's pretty much the same way that I perceived the other students; the so-called 'cool kids' were not interesting at all as a rule. When I was growing up, I always dreamt of exploring far off exotic places with landscapes I had never seen with my own eyes before. For the most part, I would say that the others were dead inside.

Welcome! If you like comedy anime I would recommend the following: ( in no particular order ) * Arakawa Under the Bridge * Midori Days * The Devil is a Part Timer! * The Law of Ueki * Cat Girl Nuku Nuku * Ace Attorney * Konosuba! ( Ohayotaku already mentioned "Ramen Fighter Miki", so I will omit it from this list )

Yeah, but that was only a small part of the episode.

Just as long as the source material isn't contradicted. I don't see the harm in allowing both versions to include exclusive extras.

I thought it was a good anime. Doesn't this topic belong in the Anime Discussion section though?

Do you know yet whether you'll be getting off at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi Kenya or closer to your destination in or around Moshi in Tanzania? I don't mean to pry, I'm just a little curious is all.

Read this book... ( if you haven't yet ) The Gods of Eden You'll never see history the same way again.

Yes, I saw that one live! It was awesome! Never expected the Simpsons to actually do that...especially in the style where they look like real people.

Ross Mackenzie...is that person you?

To be honest, I'm really more of a retro gamer. Everything just seemed simpler back in the day.

To be honest, the full length animated films were actually more enjoyable than the original series was; the only problem was that you had to see the pilot episode of the series where the characters are introduced in order to fully understand why everything is the way that it is in the films. After watching "Beautiful Dreamer", I expected that the series would be something more akin to "Ah! My Goddess!" - it was nothing like that; however, the author of the manga did actually base much of the stories and the characters themselves off of Japanese Folklore and Mythology, which I thought was really neat. Apparently the Oni were like the Japanese equivalents of the Giants and Ogres in many Western Traditions, although it is often translated to mean something like a bad spirit or an Imp. I'm actually disappointed that they decided to reboot the series unless they intended to use the same retro animation style from back in the VHS Era. I'm really not big into remakes as a rule. Why can't they just leave the classics alone? I know why...money.

Let's see...as a kid I watched G-Force, Speed Racer, Casshan, Voltron, New Dominion Tank Police, My Neighbor Totoro, and Street Fighter the animated series. Out of those named, I think Street Fighter, My Neighbor Totoro, and G-Force were the only ones that I really loved. There were a few other titles that I loved but can never remember the names of. @Soramee_ "The Devil is a Part Timer!" is easily one of the greatest anime comedies ever made. @Otaku Gamer FOTNS is not exactly PG material, I'm surprised that your parents were cool with you watching something that violent. It is a classic though.

Those are certainly some freaky anecdotes. It sounds like at least one person here has read a lot of literature about paranormal phenomena. In a very old documentary film about the haunted castles of Wales, there was a very unusual account of a spectral dog who would occasionally appear and make friendly company with the people who were then occupying the property. Nobody was afraid or uncomfortable around the animal apparition at all. It was said that after the remains that were attributed to this canine were incinerated by the lab that had custody over them, that the dog spirit stopped appearing anymore afterward. If true, it would suggest that the remains of organisms are somehow used by the spirits of the deceased as a sort of anchor which allows them to manifest into the world of the living. Contrary to the popular perception that cemeteries are the most active places for ghost activity to occur, it is believed that spirits are typically inclined to haunt the places where they had lived before. Too bad Egon Spengler is a fictional character, or we could get him on the case to explain how this all works. The particular documentary anthology series this story was a part of was later rebranded as, "Historic Hauntings." The pinnacle of the series by far though, was "Castle Ghosts of Ireland." Whether real or not, the reenacted dramatizations they cut for that one were downright terrifying. I practically about sh*t myself when I watched that as a kid in the 90s. Scotland has the more famous reputation but, Scotland has nothing on Ireland when it comes to really scary ghosts. One little thing that bears correction regarding Mildred Darby's alleged encounter inside the chilly walls of Leap Castle, is that whatever that thing she saw was, it was most certainly not an "elemental spirit" -- that is, unless you consider decayed carrion to be an element in the same sense as fire or water; the thing looked like something straight out of "Silent Hill." I have seen other specials like on an episode of "Ghost Hunters: International" ( I think ), where they brought those guys in to record some EVP, and the voices that were captured were all speaking an archaic dialect of Irish Gaelic which is no longer spoken anymore. Unfortunately, nobody seems to know what they were actually saying. Both videos below... ( the original unedited version was even better ) ( not as good as "Castle Ghosts of Ireland" but still very interesting )

The two that I have not seen personally but would be most curious about, are "Blood of Zeus" and that reboot of "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe." I know that He-Man isn't technically anime but, I still kind of associate it with anime because...fantasy setting and visuals.
