Looking Towards the Future of Power Rangers and Saban
With the Power Rangers brand getting new life jolted into it, what are you all wanting to see come from the franchise in the future? (Leaning towards season box sets, myself)
Well, There Goes That Poll…
"What do you mean I can't be the new Red Ranger?"
Thanks to gaijINside, it looks like Samurai Sentai Shinkenger has been discovered as the new Power Rangers series.
Looks like the one vote in the poll got it right.
So here is the descriptions of the cast in the call to actors:
[Poll] Shinkenger vs Goseiger – The Battle for the Power
MS Paint powers GO!
No, this isn’t about the annual Vs. team up between Super Sentai teams (that would be the other way around with the current series first).
If you haven’t heard, Saban has bought back the rights to Power Rangers from the cold clutches of the Mouse. In addition to moving the 700-episode reruns over to the premium channel Nicktoons (hopefully original first season instead of the remastered crap), Saban is in talks to start a new 18th season of the franchise on Nicktoons and its older sibling network Nickelodeon later this year.
Here is where the question lies. With this year gap in the franchise, will Saban pick up with the series next in line after its last adaptation – Samurai Sentai Shinkenger (Shinkenger followed Go-Onger, the basis for Power Rangers RPM), or will it go with the current (less obviously Japanese but more lackluster) Super Sentai series Tensou Sentai Goseiger? Or maybe, just maybe, it’ll be something…original. *gasp* (Or it’ll go with Jetman)
