"It looks just like Power rangers!"

As an anime fan how many times have you heard that?

Now I know I'm not a huge fan of the whole Giant Robot style of anime but there are a lot of them, it's like Super Hero cartoons in America.

It's literally a part of the Japanese culture, and how about Tokusatsu shows?

Now here's the problem how many times have you shown or referenced a random anime clip, or had a pic as a desktop and some jack ass blurts out...

"That anime is just a rip-off of Power Rangers!"

It literally dose not matter the show if there's a giant robot, or people in slightly cybernetic costumes, the response is almost always exactly the same...

"It looks JUST LIKE Power Rangers! Nyuk nyuk!!!!"

Now if this happened once or twice I really wouldn't mind, but it happens ALL THE TIME!

Now SOMETIMES there is some one who will point out (Because they are so smart) that Power Rangers is just a Rip-off of Voltron!

The thing that is so annoying to me is it doesn't matter if it's a 40 year old episode of Mazinger Z, or a brand new episode of Kamen Rider:W!

I mean seriously look up almost any anime with a robot theme and look it up on Youtube there will be at least ONE comment "It's just like Power Rangers!"

The other thing that's so annoying about this is that people are saying this because they think it makes them look SMART!

There have been MANY animes with Giant Robot themes to name a few Mazinger:Z, Dancouger, Ghetta Robo, Gigantor (Tetsujin 28-go in Japan) Giant Robo, DanGuard, Zoids, and a few Tokusatsu are Ultraman, the Super Sentai series (Sence 1994 it's known in America as Power Rangers), the Kamen Rider series, Kekaider, B-fighter (Shortly Translated to The Big Bad Beatle Borgs) and the thing about even all these is, these shows have existed for almost 50 years!

That's 50 F---KING YEARS of tradition, storytelling, and animations you are choosing to cheapen simply because you want to "feel smart" but all you do is prove how ignorant you are by comparing it to a BAD re telling of ONE SEASON of a show that was on years ago, if you took ANY TIME you would actually find that Power Rangers is just a SMALL representation of what even the American show was like!

Then there are people who will actually go as far as to say they liked Power Ranger until they stopped trying to link the stories together and lost the original cast...

In other words they liked the show until the dumbassed American writers started trying to make The American version a BETTER representation of it's Japanese counter part!

So next time you hear someone say "It looks just like Power Rangers!" Punch them in the face for me!

Rant over, I gotta say that phrase is one of my per peeves!
