I don't know how you can call a franchise that's sold literally billions of dollars' worth of merchandise an "atrocity," particularly when it knows its target audience so well.  Pokemon was never intended to produce high drama.

...but it was supposed to teach everyone a lesson on redundancy?

Look, I used to like Pokemon a lot, and I know it's a kids franchise, but I'm starting to find it a little too repetitive.

I agree with Kara, Reality TV is just pure evil.

Im going to have to object in the stongest possible turms to AE's mention of InuYasha in this thread. InuYasha is IMHO Rumiko Takahashi's Ultimate Series. Though I'm annoyed that the Anime ended with no resolution, the ending to the Manga was far better than the ending of Ranma^1/2.

My next nomination: the Last two Episodes of Evangelion and then the End of Evangelion movie

Every power rangers series that doesn't have at least 2 of the original six as main characters. - Power Rangers started out good if cheesey in places, and jumped the shark (when changes were made after parents complained that the Lead villain was too evil). However, it was still half-way decent whilst it still had members the original team. Everything after Turbo was rape of the Super Sentai.

Bad Beetleborgs/Beetleborgs Metallics - Suffice to say that by making these two seasons Saban totally raped Jukou B-Fighter and B-Fighter Kabuto. The japanese series was infinitly superior to the **** that was shown on US/UK channels

Masked Rider - Again Saban rapes yet another brilliant japanese TV show. This time the Kamen Rider series: Kamen Rider BLACK RX and the movies Kamen Rider ZO and Kamen Rider J

Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight. - Wont start till next year. BUT going by the track record for American adaptations of the Tokusatsu series; this will a complete rape of Kamen Rider Ryuki

Basically almost everything by Saban except VR Troopers and MMPR S1-3

VR Troopers - Actually this was pretty decent. The premise was far better than power rangers. And it had the potential to be better than power rangers, with a far darker atmosphere. Alas Saban ruined it with tackey humour (Percy and Jeb the Talking Dog) and bad voice acting for the villains. However, for an amalgam of Choujinki Metalder, Jiku Senshi Speilban and Uchuu Keiji Shaider it was pretty good.

  This is all with out mentioning the glaringly obvious costume differences between the Japanese footage and American Footage. Green Ranger's Armour springs to mind as the most obvious. You be the Judges


Japanese Footage                                                          American Footage

May god have mercy on their creators' souls, because I surely won't.

Me neither.

I agree with Kara, Reality TV is just pure evil.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

They did mention something about Power Rangers being based off Abaranger...

...or are they the same?

It started out good, though.

What else is there...oh yeah, I dislike anything made by Nickelodeon.

[terran_emperor]

Here especially for AE is a coversion list showing which Sentai series coresponds to which Power Rangers series

Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger     = Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers S1
Gosei Sentai Dairanger        = Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers S2*
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger      = Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers S3 + Mighty Morphin' Alien Ranger (Mini-Series)
Chouriki Sentai Ohranger     = Power Rangers: Zeo
Gekisou Sentai Carranger    = Power Rangers: Turbo
Denji Sentai Megaranger      = Power Rangers in Space
Seijuu Sentai Gigaman         = Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy
Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGo-V     = Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue
Mirai Sentai Timeranger      = Power Rangers: Time Force
Hakujuu Sentai Gaoranger  = Power Rangers: Wild Force
Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger   = Power Rangers: Ninja Storm

None of the Sentai series before Zyuranger were ever adapted for Power Rangers

On topic...Yeah Pokemon oh and every Land Before Time Sequel

[Stormkeeper]

... Oh wow.

[TrashMan]

I agree with Kara, Reality TV is just pure evil.

No, reality TV is 1000% evil. It's beyond pure.

[TrashMan]

*complete power rangers list*

 

You definately know too much about this show. Waaaaay too much.

[terran_emperor]

@ Trashman
If you like, i could extend it to a complete Super Sentai list, which is even longer - currently there are 32 Super Sentai series.

I happen to like the Super Sentai series. And watching Super Sentai after growing up with Power Rangers, of course im going to know a lot about them. With the exception of MMPR and PR Time Force, I think the original Japanese shows are better. As i said in an earlier post, most of PR is rape of the Super Sentai

Actually, I prefer the Metal Heroes over the Super Sentai...Metal Heroes Series have a darker atmosphere

Metal Heroes:
1)The Uchuu Keiji (Space Sheriff) Trilogy
Uchuu Keiji Gavan
Uchuu Keiji Sharivan
Uchuu Keiji Shaider

2)Kyojuu Tokusou Juspion
3)Jikuu Senshi Spielban <-Second Favourite
4)Choujinki Metalder <-My favorite
5)Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya
6)Kidou Keiji Jiban

7)The Rescue Police Trilogy
Tokkei Winspector
Tokkyuu Shirei Solbrain
Tokusou Exceedraft

8)Tokusou Robo Janperson
9) Blue SWAT
10) Juukou B-Fighter
11) B-Fighter Kabuto
12) B-Robo Kabutack <(don't like)
13) Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack <don't like either

Reality TV is not evil. It is just that we don't belong to the audiance it is intended for.

People without a life.

[terran_emperor]

The words "Reality TV" are intechangable with the word "evil"

[Wobble73]

[sarcasm] The cancelling of Elderado on BBC1 [/sarcasm]


Reality TV? We used to call them documentary's THAT's Reality TV!

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Thanks, TE. Much appreciated and obliged.

That's one hell of a list. Why did they convert every single one?

What other atrocities...hmm...

Can't think of anything else at the moment.

Ever watched We Are R.E.M. and Robbie and the Book of Tales on Kids Central, Stormkeeper?

[terran_emperor]

@AE
Every Sentai Series scince Zyuranger has been adapted. However, there were 15 Super Sentai series prior to Zyuranger that were never adapted.
No idea every one since though

*The cancelling of ReBoot on CITV half-way through Season 3. For seven years, i didn't know what happend after Captain Capacitor reappeared. Thank God for youtube when i discovered it.

*The cancelling of ReBoot 2/3 through season 4. I still wonder what would have happened in the lost 4 episodes.

*BS&P's rediculous censorship of ReBoot...

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Ah yes, I remember something: Any anime that makes me want to look at hentai.

Which strikes most anime with ecchi/romance sections off the list. Which is almost all.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Indeed!

[Stormkeeper]

Ever watched We Are R.E.M. and Robbie and the Book of Tales on Kids Central, Stormkeeper?

No. I studiously avoid any and all programmes produced by Kids Central. Though I watched We Are R.E.M at one point just because I thought Rachel had nice legs.
