i think their fight is a lot better than geki. although that explotion effect is too much. (wow they sure got lots of explosives na~) and the CG is really good.
I also like their masters who looks like real master rather than mascots.
but geki owns the better morphing sequence.
sumari...i like PRJF than geki. geki guys r too playful...come on! wth with norinori while a side wants to conquer the world!

What to say about this series?

Oh, I know. It just generally sucks.

Let's talk about the morphers. The sunglasses...where to get started on these things? Not only do they not fit in with the shows combat theme, they are just lame. Then after realizing that the sunglasses were epic phail, they introduced the [s]Gong Changer[/s]Wolf Morpher which didn't fit in because this laid back master guy doesn't base a lot of his attacks on Mui Thai. The only morpher that makes sense is the Rhino Ranger's because it not only goes with the shows theme, it also has a bit of Gekiranger all over it.

Now let's talk about how they morph. Man-oh-man. This morphing grid nonsense is getting annoying. Once I heard that they were going to use a morphing grid, I instantly disliked this series. I mean c'mon - these guys have strangely colored animals for Pete's sake, can't you just say that they were special and give them a morpher that takes from their energy?! Mystic Force didn't have to use the morphing grid, so why couldn't Jungle Fury?!

And don't get me started on that bike. Not only does it not make sense, the way it's brought up doesn't make sense either. RJ, a guy who fights and makes pizza decides to go out and make a cool vroom vroom bike for the red guy. Why does he even NEED a bike? Couldn't you all give him something else?! Jeez, Disney way to go with your suckyness.

And for Pete's sake...WHY IS THERE ALWAYS A RANGER THAT SCREAMS "YEAHHHH!"?! Every time the Yellow ranger does that I feel like my ears are bleeding. x_x;;

Then backstory for the thing just sucks. Over thousands of years ago, a random animal spirit decides to come and take over the world. Yeah, I can understand that, but how in blue hell does that same spirit want to destroy the world? And then the Earth Overlord wants to disobey him after being a dedicated leader. Not only does it not make sense - it also makes everyone confused. And what about Camille? She honestly sat there and waited. And wait, is she a human or a monster? O_o

The characters are okay.

Red Ranger isn't bad, nor is the Blue or Yellow except for the fact that the Blue ranger is too short and the Yellow ranger always screams. The Purple and White Rangers are funny, but I don't think they fully have what it takes to have those spirits, maybe they could have a hyena spirit rather than the wolf and the rhino?

And the masters are cool too. I agree that they are a bit more master-ish than the ones on Gekiranger.

However, I enjoyed Jan's silly personality because it sat in perfectly with his story and his character. I enjoyed Retsu's feelings on art and beauty and how he was dedicated towards those things. Ran wasn't just nice, she was able to think right. Man...Gou was truly a wolf, growing stronger, courageous, fighting for his friends, and he was still tue to the lone wolf nature. And man, Ken really was a good person for the Rhino - always trying to push forward no matter what the circumstances were.

Honestly, I prefer Gekiranger more because Gekiranger made sense and it rawked out loud.

I've seen 8 episodes of Gekiranger, and that was about all I could take. There's no annoying cat teacher, or any other animal for that matter. The Red Ranger isn't a tarzan rip off. And Dai Shi doesn't look as gay as Rio did. Plus, Jungle Fury is getting 3 more Rangers than Gekiranger. Jungle fury kicks Gekiranger's ass big time.

You've only seen EIGHT episodes of Gekiranger and you say Jungle Fury is better?

Master Shafu was cool. Him and his philosophies about training always made him seem like the perfect master. Although the animal theme seemed a bit too over-the-top, it flowed with the storyline and gave reason to why they and the RinJyuken's Kenma had those forms and why the Rinshi were human-shaped and were able to become monsters.

So yeah, why is this supposed human-hating animal force fight under the body frames of humans? That leads me to ask the questions, "Why did DaiShi pick a HUMAN, the same race he's trying to wipe from the planet, as a host?", "Why is Camille in the form OF A HUMAN/IS A HUMAN when she's under DaiShi?", "Why do the Rinshi in Jungle Fury take the form of a human body?", and "Why are the Overloads in the shape of a human body as well?" It REALLY doesn't make sense.

Jan is filled with a lot more win than Casey. Did you at least see the fights against him and Rio?! Oh lawdy, those were epic compared to the ones where Casey and possessed Jarrod fight. I mean they are intense. The blood is spilling and Jan decides to get up and fight after truly finding justice in his heart. And other times he just get's all epic and beats Rio up or vice-versa. I've seen the little rivalry that Casey and Jarrod have, but that is nothing compared to a
Hidden Text
rivalry that was passed on from a father to son.


And Rio being gay in any way? PSH. At least Rio becomes stronger than his servants; Dai Shi goes around reviving the people that served UNDER him in order to get power. It doesn't make sense, but whatever floats yer boat I suppose. And wtf, why does Jarrod still have some control over his body and at the same time Dai Shi is presumably in control? Doesn't make sense at all, you can tell that the writers were on something while writing him up. ._.

And I suppose you've probably only read about Long and you haven't felt his power so I won't get into that.

Anyways, watch these episodes and tell me if Jungle Fury is better: 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 28, 30 (preferably towards the end), 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 (you see Retsu being funneh ;D), and everything in the 40's except 43 unless you want to see a Christmas special. And to make an even bigger impact, watch the episodes of Jungle Fury that are based on those episodes and see the BIG difference in them, storyline-wise, character-wise, and development-wise. I do agree with you though about the first few episodes and a couple of others, they were a bit corny and boring - but that's because they were merely showing the development phases.

GekiRanger is one of my absolute FAVORITE Sentai's, if not the favorite. When it comes to Jungle Fury, it holds nothing to it. But that's not saying Jungle Fury is bad. I truly enjoy it--it's better than the atrocity that was Operation Overdrive. I just wish, for the love of god, that the people at Disney would understand: YOU DON'T HAVE TO SCREAM EVERY TIME YOU THROW A DAMN PUNCH.

One of the things I didn't really like was the morphing concept that was created in this series... Kinda killed it with the sunglasses and morphing grid... How da heck do you explain the morphing grid and then have the zords come out through the rangers' spirit? You'd think they'd have zords built and prepared as well...

Me thinks he said that. lol

I think he meant it like this.

Since these rangers have to use the morphing grid to become rangers, why do they have these spirits which have their exact same ranger colors and such. And why do they have these spirits and have the need to transform with the morphing grid. And then he probably meant that since they have these glasses that access the morphing grid, they might as well have pre-made zords.

It's one of the reasons I like Geki more as well. They don't use a morphing grid, but they use technology to increase the Geki's power and make the suits.

Nuuuuu, you aren't getting it. >.< lol

The spirits aren't the problem, but it's how they're magically colored the same colors as the rangers. The only one that didn't have a colored spirit was Casey.

And I was making a reference to how they morph again. The morphing grid mumbo jumbo makes things too confusing.

In the introduction of the Rhino Ranger RJ clearly told him that it will "morph up his rhino spirit."

Now with the first three rangers, they had to tap into the morphing grid to get their powers.

The theme and the morphing grid inferences just are annoying. The term morphing is alright, but the way the need to have these glasses just to plop on a suit doesn't really work.

The morphing grid reference then has us asking, "How da heck do you explain the morphing grid and then have the zords come out through the rangers' spirit?" Because although the spirits can cause physical damage, they shouldn't be able to grow into actual zords seeing that they are using the morphing grid and all.

And them training at the dojo really doesn't give enough reason on how they're able to summon these strange colored spirits either. The master's spirits could have been done a bit more...realistic, seeing that they don't have instant-colors - a good example would be...the Elephant master releasing a NORMAL animal spirits and then Yellow Ranger girl could use her morphing powers and say something cool to equip the armor.

To sum it up, it's more like why bring in the morphing grid when you have these spirits from the start; just stick with what Geki used instead of trying to be original and trying to sell crap. lol

But in all seriousness, I can see where you're coming from with Geki being childish, but that's only to a certain extent. Geki was meant to be funny, epic, and most definitely bad ass. Jan had his moments, but they were very understandable seeing that his character was based on Tarzan; you could tell he needed to understand things, but that's what made Geki fun. Ran was really nice and Retsu was just really cool, you'd never see them act immature unless the situation called for it. Ken was just funny and was a nice comic relief, while as Gou was just pure bad ass win.

And you can really see the childishness coming from Jungle Fury. Let's take when they get Jungle Master mode. Instead of facing actual hard challenges like Gekiranger did, they had...to do the most childish things; Casey had a fear of monsters under his bed (wtf, you fight them every Monday night), while as Theo had a fear to...sing (seemed a bit like an episode of Hannah Montana), and the Yellow Ranger's name and fear always try to leave mah mind. And don't make me talk about both RJ and White Ranger person. RJ is cool and all, and he's a sorta sweet teacher, but he is no Shafu. He's more like a rip off, lol. And the White Ranger is even worse than Ken - well to me. Although Ken was a goof off, he reallllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy was able to live up to the "Just feel it!" thing which is why he's so playful.

And although I agree with you on the "mascot" thing, I really don't think it's a big deal. My problems are with the Morphing, the obsessive "YES!", the way how they have the backstory/storyline and plot messed up (Dai Shi, supposed ultimate evil being of this series being TAUGHT by his subordinates and even being surprassed by them), and then it's those sunglasses (gah, they make me want to stick a fork in my eye whenever I see them).

And let's be completely honest, Gekiranger had a lot more "mature" things (the only exception being Jan), and the overall plot was AMAZING. Jungle Fury just generally sucks, but only because of their lack of explanation and their bad storyline telling - the characters are fine, but that doesn't make a good series at all. Master's/Sensei's are cool for both, but I prefer the Jungle Fury ones because they were more serious. And yeah...another long post from Grimmy. x_x;;
