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.

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.
