You know... I always said to myself, "Spiderman is cool, but what would make him REALLY awesome is if he had a giant robot and fought enemies that looked like they were ported over from an early Power Ranger series and did a lot of Power Ranger posing."

My prayers have been answered.

Heh, I saw this a long, long time ago. Having said that, Weltall, you might be surprised to know that this incarnation preceded the Power Rangers.

Hell, I knew that. The thing said it was made back in 78. The Power Rangers came out here back in the 90s. I'm not sure when they first started making them in Japan, but I figured it wasn't THAT long before.

...which is worse: when dubbers bastardize a good Japanese anime series...
or when the Japanese bastardize a good series putting their own 'spin' on it

I have seen the other side... and it is not pretty

And here everyone thought the Japanese could do no wrong.

@Weltall: I meant that it even pre-dated the Super Sentai series of shows.

(Try saying that really fast.)

On that note, relating more to Masked Rider, but still interesting...
