The first two images I posted were from '75 and '77, respectively. Also, they didn't have giant robots. That was introduced with Battle Fever J in '79.
JAKQ looks like the best one
Those suits and masks are awesome.

Yeah, check some of these older series out:
Blew my mind when I learned that Japanese Spider-Man's Leopardon actually outdated any Sentai giant robots.
Also, totally thought this thread was going to be about the first Sentai series, but I guess this works too?
Man, those costumes look like hot garbage compared to this:
I hated it as a kid when they started changing the Rangers' costumes, because while the original MMPR costumes were goofy as fuck, they at least had this clean iconic look to them. Looking at them didn't immediately make me think "This obviously comes from another country" like the later costumes did.
would
actual nightmare
For any Sentai casuals curious about Zyuranger, it's largely mediocre. Jetman and Dairanger (which sandwich Zyuranger, coming out the year before and year after respectively) are easily the best 90s Sentai, and some of the greatest toku of all time.
Zyuranger's lows are coma-inducingly terrible, while its highs hit so high that certain plot points quickly became staples of the franchise.
miss america is nightmare fuel
Regardless of how 'mediocre' it is, I am hoping it does well, They might give Jetman a chance then or the one the Alien Rangers were based on (since they were only in it for a very short time during MMPRs run which is why I want to see that series as well)
Well this is an interesting move and I'll probably pick it up.
If they did bring over more series it would probably be the ones that have been adapted into a Power Rangers seasons. I think Megaranger(which was adapted into In Space) would be a likely candidate and Gokaiger would probably bring in the money lol.
Im surprised they don't just film both series together, I mean US version is made in NZ for last 10 years, like a 600buck flight between Japan and NZ.
is the original Japanese version any good anyway?

It's always been a big toy commercial
Depends on the season, Zyuranger is not that great because of kid of the week syndrome but it has good parts, its green ranger story kicks the shit out of the US version and the villains were pretty good.is the original Japanese version any good anyway?
Abaranger is easily the best out of the Dinosaur-themed sentai by the way
Possibly but they might consider bringing over more sentai stuff in general and are just using this one because it's what the most popular MMPR series was 'based' on.
Still, if this does well, they have no shortage of sentai stuff to pick up.
Also I'd like Gokaiger as well lol.
Since we're talking about Sentai series, here's a funny clip from Boukenger (power rangers operation overdrive according to wikipedia):

People are gonna love seeing Rita Repulsa riding around the skies on a tricycle terrorizing the children of Japan.
Hahahahahahaha WHAT
Please tell me this is real and post pictures/video
I find Boukenger really boring.That season was so boring.

I find Boukenger really boring.
The two series are too different to be filmed together, and the Japanese version is pretty much always better IMO.
That's what I just said...
I used to have a set of DVDs that was nothing but the opening and ending credits from a bunch of shows like this, starting in like 1960 and going til like 96 or so? I gave it to a friend and haven't been able to find another copy since. Super hero teams, single heros, lots of Kamen Rider and stuff like Kaiketsu Zubat. Good times.
Screw Dairanger and Zyuranger, Mahou Sentai Magiranger was f'n terrific. The only sentai that kept my attention to where I could watch it from beginning to end.

My there faves are Dai, Gao and Kakuranger. Followed by Time.
And Gao probably trumps them all IMO.

So wait, the japanese studio held a vote for kids to decide if the green ranger survived, they chose he did, studio killed him off anyways?
My mind was completely blown away when I first read Power Rangers was based on stuff like that.
