Gah! Nobody told me we were having a toku thread.

The best of Power Rangers from MMPR to Turbo (translation: random reruns or just mid-season episodes, rarely did I see premieres or finales), the latter half of Space, and pretty much all of Lost Galaxy through Mystic Force.
Every Super Sentai from Dekaranger to the present, as well as Jetman, Zyuranger, and Dairanger. Currently watching Kakuranger.
Every Kamen Rider from 1992 (Shin) to the present. Kuuga is the best.
I started watching Ultraman Mebius on Crunchyroll a few months ago. Really good show.
I've seen every live action season of Garo, but not the anime. Yet.
I saw most of Beetleborgs and Metallix as a kid.
My only notable Metal Heroes experience is with the recent Gavan and Shaider movies. I still need to watch Sharivan. I saw the first episode of B-Fighter, no more.
I saw Sh15uya, and a little bit of Cutie Honey The Live.
About half of Gransazer, didn't get to Justiriser or Sazer X.
And I watched about 10 episodes of Rescue Force. It didn't really tickle my fancy, but I'll finish it eventually.
I haven't seen any Thai, Korean, Chinese, etc. series.
2. Is anyone else here currently watching Power Rangers: Dino Charge and relieved that it's finally no longer too painful to sit through like the last four years of the Neo-Saban era have been?
I saw the first few episodes and it was great. I need to watch the rest. I follow Yoshi Sudarso on Facebook and he's a great guy. It's awesome to have a ranger actor who's a sentai fan. I hope I can meet him at a con someday.
3. Has anyone else here seen that
atrocious gratuitously dark/violent/grim/gritty/NSFW "
Power/Rangers" fanfilm starring James Van Der Beek and Katie Sackhoff?
I saw it. It's kind of fascinating. It's meant to be a dark satire on the idea of gritty reboots, but it is NOT a fanfilm, because the director has explicitly said he's not a fan of Power Rangers and knows very little about it. This doesn't make it any better, because it's still devoid of any substance, but I understand what they were trying to convey with it.
Sorry I'm late to the party, somebody should have invited me.
