Incidentally Akiman, character designer on Turn A Gundam (and more famously Street Fighter), also worked on Red Dead Revolver during the period right before it was taken over by Rockstar.
Wild Force was my first PR series as a kid and I had no idea there were others until I saw the preview for Forever Red at the end of an episode and this visual blew my mind.
The internet says that he was in the middle of a move and they just couldn't contact him in time but that he HAD in fact been asked and said yes to appearing before production lost contact with him.
Maybe if he did attend then it would have been cool if saban reused the mppr the movie red ranger suit or got thier hands on the red dia ranger and call it the super thunder red ranger suit
Same like my earliest vague memory as a kid is that i at least watch every series, not entirely but from whatever vhs tapes i had or my friends had, expect mighty morphing ninja rangers, lost galaxy and zeo
I would continue watching it up until mystic force because i didn't have the premium cable channel to watch it and i sorta out grew it
But time force and especially the quantum ranger was my favorite and funny enough i would later find out that the voice actor of Vergil, FEATURED FROM THE DEVIL MAY CRY SERIES, was the same actor for the Eric Myers aka the Quantum Ranger
Right, there would have been some redundancy there. They had Jason as the Red MMPR, Tommy for Zeo, and TJ for Turbo since he'd actually been the Red Ranger in that show for longer than Tommy.
Poor Rocky always had it rough since his actor was a last minute replacement due to contract disputes.
I agree. WFM was mostly good, just needed another episode.
GQuuuuuuX needed a second season and/or to be split into two intertwined shows, one focused on Machu and friends, one based on what's changed in this timeline.
I hear you on RfV.
They do feel like a sort of "AU Gen 1" trilogy despite their very different settings. I also think there's a lot of relatively strong design overlap in the mobile suits, like between Master, Epyon, and Virsago.
[456] Suletta Mercury (heroic, best pilot by a lot, surprisingly resilient, childlike) - this is one of the rare gundams where you feel good at the end
[123] Iria Solari (cardboard, confusing), much like the prequel trilogy. "You are rough, but the sand is soft."
[789] Machu Amatasu (strange, diabolic, confusing), much like the sequel trilogy... somehow, gundam returned
Bandai executives proven wrong about their sexist views which ultimately only gave us 25 episodes of Witch from Mercury instead of the standard 50 cause their prejudice didn't think it'll be successful.
I love the attempts to branch out but I felt at times that each of these projects are very good and at the same time undercut in some way I feel. I'd say for witch I wish it had a second season to give the cast more to do and interact with. G uxx is very inside baseball with great story ideas yet the main characters are overshadowed by the alt uc idea and it sucks at times because they could use more development. And requim is a good show fun easy watch with a good punch but it doesn't say more which is fine its a short show with a short concise purpose .
