2016 Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuouger First Looks

Today we got the first looks from 2016 Super Sentai, Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuouger   動物戦隊ジュウオウジャ = Animal Task Force Beast King Ranger. The 2016 theme is back to animal power, the color combination are RED, YELLOW, GREEN, and females are BLUE and WHITE. This is first combination of such color and gender.  The animal power visually can be seen on the front outfit : Falcon, Lion, Shark, Elephant and white can be cheetah or panther.

The outfit itself is bit too simple with only animal motif. The helmet are ok, but White's helmet resembling Gekiranger, while the Blue's looks alike Liveman. Overall not the best original design for this year, and it is not as impressive as Ninninger first appearance last year.

The mecha is shaped as a CUBE. There will be  Jyuuou Eagle, Jyuuou Shark and Jyuuou Lion. There is also Giraffe (orange) and Gorilla (white) as addition.

Dekaranger 10 Years After - Captured Images and Comments

Dekaranger 10 Years After is V-Cinema that celebrate the 28th Super Sentai, Tokusau Sentai Dekaranger that run on tv in 2004. This is the second of such movie in Super Sentai franchise. The previous one similar to this is Hurricaneger 10 Years After, which set the (hopefully) new super sentai tradition on releasing 10 years anniversary movie of related super sentai show.

Dekaranger 10 Years After really bring back the nostalgic, almost 10 years ago when I hooked into Super Sentai, largely thanks to Dekaranger. Jasmine, Umeko, Ban, Hoji and Senchan is back. The storyline is quite good, in short (spoiler) , the Earth branch is changed. Tetsu is now the acting leader of Earth branch because Doggie Kruger is set into trouble, forged by villain.

Here are some of the images on that movie:

Yes, Jasmine is the one of popular ESP handler in Super Sentai world
