Re: Casting Call for Saban's Shinkenger
Lol, if only I found out about this sooner. Truth be told, I would want to try out just for the sake of saying "I was a power ranger" XD. My Japanese skills suck waay too much for me to try out for KR or Sentai T.T

Re: Casting Call for Saban's Shinkenger
Will Saban incorporate the female red? It'll be interesting to see how he manages that. I don't really like the name "Samurai Strike" I would have preferred "Samurai Storm".

Most likely. There were auditions included for a "Princess Meghan" character who probably fits the bill as Lady ShinkenRed.Zazelle wrote:Will Saban incorporate the female red? It'll be interesting to see how he manages that.
Well, the name of the series is still up in the air, so who knows what it'll be? :pZazelle wrote: I don't really like the name "Samurai Strike" I would have preferred "Samurai Storm".
People over at HenshinJustice Unlimited are simply calling it "Power Rangers Samurai" until we get an official name.

Of course, you have to feel sorry for Saban, given that they're going to have to create another season of RPM's magnitude for the hardcore Sentai fans not to hate it.

I guarantee they won't even try. I personally thought the Kegareshia replacement was terrible.Leonite Rider wrote:Of course, you have to feel sorry for Saban, given that they're going to have to create another season of RPM's magnitude for the hardcore Sentai fans not to hate it.

They tried with Space, they made a sixth Ranger for Lightspeed Rescue, they made a story with prejiduce as the main theme in Time Force.lostinbrave wrote:I guarantee they won't even try.

They might be able to pull it off.

Re: Casting Call for Saban's Shinkenger
I'll give my two cents...
I hate to be a party popper, but in my opinion an "americanized" Shinkenger won't work. Shinkenger prides itself in being an inherently Japanse show in where for the first time the Japanese culture and story takes center stage instead of 6 people in colored spandex suits. Adapting the storyline would be futile and creating one from scratch would tarnish what Shinkenger's all about. Shinkenger broke the mold and made a new standard in how to make a Sentai show (and Goseiger is kinda going backwards from there) and I bet Saban is not willing to take those risks, they will just play by the book rather than try to please everyone (and they will to busy working to please the network anyway).

Re: Casting Call for Saban's Shinkenger
Taken from the Power Rangers webpage:
"A new generation of Power Rangers must master the mystical and ancient Samurai Symbols of Power which give them control over the elements of Fire, Water, Sky, Forest, and Earth. Under the guidance of their all-knowing mentor and the aid of their devoted animal Zords, they battle the dark forces of the Netherworld and a mysterious Warrior bent on destruction."
It's safe to say from this description that they are going to adapt the current storyline rather than make a new one...

Re: Casting Call for Saban's Shinkenger
Hmm... simple, sounds like they will stick to the story... and the characters, although Kevin (Blue Samurai) might not act so much like his counterpart. Although it does sound like we might have talking animal zords... or at least on the level of Wild Force's animals.
I will wait and see, it's definitely a plus that they've kept the whole Netherworld thing though.
*Hopes for a team up this year*

Today's featured Episode is MMPR S1 Dark Warrior. You can watch it on that site without the comic book effects that Disney put in.

Doukoku is Evil Master Xandred. Didn't Dragon Knight already had a guy name Xander?
