Okay, a little while ago this guy made a thread on Rangerboard seeking help finding papers discussing the cultural impact of Power Rangers. I'm going to give you guys a moment to laugh, I sure as hell needed one. Anyway, he goes on to explain he's trying to write this paper and isn't finding anything outside of old articles about the violence of the show (wonder why?). He's even extended his research into Super Sentai and has tried talking to some of his Japanese Studies teachers. One who knew of Sentai thought it was beneath him and academic study.

It gets better.

I was in Kyoto for five weeks and every Japanese that I spoke there either never heard of it or said that their baby brother watched it. And this was me asking tons of people while at the school and in the city. Even showing them the title in Katakana and Kanji didn't help. I'm even trying to talk to the Japanese community here at my school and I am getting the same responses, either they never heard of it or their younger siblings watch it.

So, I watched it like a lot when I was a kid but honestly it was not a big impact, like at all. I don't have the same fodness of it that I do say for stuff like Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusters, The Goonies, ETC.

Weird. I remember back in Tokyo there were ads in the subway for one of the shows. I think one of them was Hurricaneranger and another was Dekaranger. Don't ask me if they were transported to the US or anything but I do know that there were ads on TV for these things. So either they're lying or they wanted to show they were too cool for that.

Yeah. Power Rangers wasn't anything new. If you grew up in the 80's (or watched reruns from the 80's), you'd see all the same elements in different shows. Power Rangers just combined them together and it became a hit.
Even if anime has become more socially acceptable, the term "otaku" still conjures visions of your average Wizardchan user bronies lonely socially-inept adults who obsess over kids stuff.
That's why there are all these anime about cute girls who are secretly otaku, to rehabilitate the image. I swear, I have a dislike for improperly-handled otaku protagonists. Like the "s/he's an otaku. Look how wacky and wonderful s/he is as he does weird shit"-type. Gag me.

Watamote may make me cringe while reading it, but I admire it for it's honesty.
Suda51 may have made Travis Touchdown a lightsaber-wielding assassin but the game acknowledges he is a pathetic loser strung around by his dick.
Gai Daigoji and the Jovians may have been obsessed with Gekiganger 3, but the former was treated as a lunatic by the cast and the showcased the latter used it to promote their war.
Shunsuke Akagi may have been a mecha-otaku but he didn't just jump into the cockpit and start kicking ass. He went to college, obtained the license to operate the damn thing and then got a dead-end job that allowed him access to the only one in existence.

They were. Ninja Storm and SPD, specifically.
 
A Weeb Experience:

I was chillaxin' on Skype back when I was still some dumb highschool kid. None of my regular contacts were really online at this point in the day, and I was basically doing one of two things: playing vidya or reading fanfiction; I don't really remember this part too well since, you know pointless. So anyway, as I was doing this task of utter insignificance, I get contacted out of the blue by the subject of our tale. At the time, I didn't know him that well; he was just the mod of a forum I hung out at the time and a friend of a recent acquaintance of mine. I've spoken to him once or twice in the bigger chat that the forum had on skype,, but this was the first time we talked solo.

He contacted me mostly because he was in the mood to talk about gaming, which I didn't mind really. We didn't really get far into the convo when I bring up the Hearts of Iron series, as it's a favorite strategy game of mine. His preference was jRPGs (natch), so he asked me about the series and why I thought it was so good. I didn't get far into that explanation either, since as soon as I mentioned that you could play effectively every country that existed in the 1930's - 1950's, he interrupted me. He cut me off and shouted "Japan?!" in a questioning tone. I shrugged at this and simply said yep, and I rattled off a bit about how Japan as a nation in that game worked. However, he got bored rather quickly and the chat segues into jRPGs and the like. I thought it was the end.

But nope! He then bought the game. He bought HOI2, which cost around 30 -40 dollars at the time, just so he could play as glorious Nippon. He literally chucked money down a hole for a game he ultimately hated, just because Japan. He also talked about other crazy weeby stuff, like how a katana could slice through a tank barrel or something like that. But that vidyagaem purchase is hands down the second most weeby experience I've had the misfortune to be a part of.

Why tell when I can show it?:cool: Keep in mind that the person you are about to see is eighteen, not a tween or kid, when he wrote this. He has no history of mental illness or neurological disorders either; this is all natural.

Granzon: Is your memory so bad, that you FORGOT about this?
Ember: BRANDON STOP
Granzon: Brandon's not doing anything.
Granzon: Because I'm not him.

Granzon: Not that surprising.
Ember: i know u
Granzon: Yeah.
Ember: fell thretend?
Granzon: Nope.
Ember: bow down

Granzon: And then proceed to shatter it.'
Ember: brandon
Granzon: No, I'm the Prince of Fools.
Granzon: I'm also piloted by Shu Shirikawa and shoot black holes.
Granzon: Only magic can make me more broken.

Granzon: Especially since that's not how you use those.
Ember: no tenchu rikimaru wrath of heaven
Granzon: I raise your abilty to fiction with reality.
Granzon: Welcome to hell.
Granzon: Your mouth is familiar with it, what with half of your teeth needing to be pulled, and the fact your gums spew fucking blood.
Granzon: But that's what happens when you never brush.
Ember: FUCK YOU BEANDON
Ember: brandon
Granzon: Wow, this is the first time I've seen you correct yourself.

Granzon: I fixed an error of mine.
Granzon: You see, people with a brain tend to do things like that.

Granzon: With what?
Granzon: Words? Because you're bad with those.
Granzon: Magic? That doesn't exist?
Granzon: What can you possibly stop me with?
Ember: nindo art sacred
Granzon: That doesn't exist either.
Granzon: And even if it did, you wouldn't know it.

Ember: your only warning before i takeback whats mine
Granzon: Disrespectful little shit.
Granzon: You can't anything back.
Granzon: You're too frail and weak to even try.
Ember: you really want to do this
Granzon: Go ahead.

Granzon: This isn't gonna affect me.
Granzon: Mainly because I don't even live in the same state as you.
Granzon: And you're are gonna flail at someone that's not me.

Granzon: Oh wait, you can't.
Granzon: You're too frail.
Ember: brandon demand answers
Granzon: Why should I?
Ember: becaus
Granzon: That's not a reason.

If you're wondering why I'm a big asshole to him, he hijacked my friend's steam account and abused his debit card info to buy more tat, effectively committing fraud on family. He's a spoiled brat that threatens his mom with death whenever she tries to actually be a parent and do things like discipline him. He also shamelessly uses other people's tech to look up lolicon so he can spank dat. He also did this at my friends house. Every. Night.

And that's my worst weeb experience ever.
 
Weird. I remember back in Tokyo there were ads in the subway for one of the shows. I think one of them was Hurricaneranger and another was Dekaranger. Don't ask me if they were transported to the US or anything but I do know that there were ads on TV for these things. So either they're lying or they wanted to show they were too cool for that.

I also did a Japan related paper but it wasn't about Power Rangers but how young Japanese people consumed various types of media. What I found is that while there were TV spots and magazine advertisements for shows related to Power Rangers, it did not have this hold over its target audience as it did 10-20 years ago. Young Japanese boys, in particular, were into this thing called Yokai Watch, which is Pokemon but replace Pikachu with Japanese folklore monsters. When I did my research for the paper the damn cat mascot for the game was plastered on every magazine, TV spot and adverts for miles. Collectible card games are still en vogue, with new sets coming out for every anime you can think of (I think I even saw one for Psycho Pass) and of course, Pikachu and friends are strong as ever, even with the older crowd. Super Sentai does well I think with the audience that used to grow up with the originals and thus watch it as some weird nostalgia thing, your otakus and western fans of the genre. But yeah, Power Rangers are "really uncool" with the 20 something set.

/sperg

On topic with Aboos, has anyone come across the anglophile/teaboo? Tumblr girls obsessed with Dr Who/Sherlock/1D/tea in that order and are the the weaboos of the 2010's. I used to mock them hard and even got hatemail from them.

You have way more restraint than I do. I would of broken that toy katana of his over his broken teeth.

One of the lolcows I follow is a Norwegian girl who's obsessed with Malcolm McDowell and British/American pop-culture. She wants to move to America because she likes our movies :roll:

Have her stay in Arksas for a few days. She will change her mind.

But that vidyagaem purchase is hands down the second most weeby experience I've had the misfortune to be a part of.
I loled because people who are new to HoI don't expect that Japan has a high learning curve.
 
But yeah, Power Rangers are "really uncool" with the 20 something set.
So, there's some overlap between us and Japan. lol

In all seriousness, it's probably because of how sentai has changed. I mean
* Protagonists are a lot goofier nowadays.
* They introduce new mecha left and right as alternate weapons, which lack the impact older seasons had when they got a new mecha.
* 6th, 7th, maybe 8th rangers.
* Collectable gimmicks.
* More of a story focus

It's not the same beast anymore, just a vehicle to push more toys. Hell, Kamen Rider has been the same way after they started sticking to the Den-O formula.

Then there's the fact viewership is has been declining for years. How should I put this? Last year's Kyoryuger may have had the best toy sales since Gaoranger, but it also had the lowest, repeat lowest, ratings in franchise history. But it's considered the success whereas Gobusters (the year before) had slightly better ratings didn't meet sales expectations (still was better than Goseiger and Gekiranger sales) and was considered a failure. They claimed it was "too dark" as to why kids weren't into it. This disregards the fact that Gobusters had a limited arsenal and no collectable gimmick like sentai of old. Chew on that, the one less people watched was considered the failure.

tl:dr It's blatantly obvious mainstream tokusatsu has been becoming more and more focused on toy sales rather than viewers. Kamen Rider Hibiki (great ratings + poor sales = unpopular retool) is the other go-to example.

I loled because people who are new to HoI don't expect that Japan has a high learning curve.

That was the lesser reason why he quit playing that game. The major reason was he failed was his utter refusal to take time and learn the controls, since HoI also has a naturally high learning curve by strategy game standards. He basically just tried to take China with what he had, not bothering to build anything in the process or trying to move his naval forces to cordon off China to prevent any small risk of an amphibious assault. By the way, he rage quit when the Nationalists managed to establish a beachhead on one of his home islands.

You have way more restraint than I do. I would of broken that toy katana of his over his broken teeth.

I was fairly tempted, considering what he does to family. Actually, let's provide more detail on this horrible, horrible man.

So I already showed that this guy honestly thinks he has Hashirama's powers from Naruto, quotes from Rikimaru from Wrath of Heaven when mad, quoted from the original Fate/Stay Night which was a porn technically, and honestly believes that if you type the word "backstab" into a chat, the other person will lose access to the internet or die or something like that. He bought a shit ton of the DLC for Warframe, making the game cost like $60.00 rather than the original price tag of free. He did this because in Warframe, you can play as a class that is like a ninja, and he mained that game as one. He would then do nothing BUT play Warframe for weeks on end, on my friend's steam account. He'd literally spend like twenty hours a day playing that game. To give you an idea, he has over 800 hours on that thing, and he accumulated that within a month, likely while making sound effects in the process (he does that when playing games mind you). Then the game nerfed the ninja class a bit and he ragequit the game.

This guy also shares a trait with Mr. Chandler. Just like Mr. Chandler, he has a tendency to not play most of his games. He usually only plays an hour at most for each game. This culminates in one of the many things I hate him for. He essentially cried at his mom to buy him a PS2 that allowed him to play Japanese titles, which costs noticeably more than usual. He then bought an $80.00 game, and by he bought, I mean mom bought. He then plays it for ten minutes, and then never again. He literally wasted the equivalent of an entire month's worth of electrics for a game he barely played.

Oh, and the katana he has is a replica, not a toy one. That means he thinks it's real, and it can allow him to cut through anything. Even his mom when she tries to be a parent to him.

Why didn't your friend prosecute him? I can understand not beating his ass but fuck all if you are going to spend my money on a shitty f2p.

He was going to actually. He upfront told the guy's mom about this and mentioned how he was gonna take the asshole to court. She however paid him back the money he stole and a bit extra, so he just called it even stevens. He didn't care so long as he got his money back.

My mom would of beat my ass if I did that. Even if I was 18.

His mom isn't exactly the greatest of parents though and mostly just paid him because she was kind of on thin ice already with the law and didn't want any more scrutiny, so this was rather expected.

Now I must know. This family sounds like a riot

It's starting to sound like this guy needs an ED article, a wiki dedicated to him, and legions of trolls/spectators of his own.
