Notice Me Sentai! | The Disney Era
We’re back with more Super Sentai content, and this week we’re taking a look at some of the series that became Power Rangers shows in the Disney era: Dekaranger, Magiranger, and Go-Onger! These shows made were pretty popular adaptations, but how do the originals stack up? Follow The More You Nerd
Notice Me Sentai | Not Quite Rangers
In this episode, we talk about three Super Sentai shows that were only slightly converted into a respective Power Rangers version.
