Power Rangers has always been a show based in the tokusatsu genre. We get giant monsters and transforming robots in miniature sets, a team of colorful spandex superheroes, and most importantly, practical effects. But what if Power Rangers had ventured into the world of animation? Imagine a Power Rangers cartoon! The possibilities seem endless don’t they?: dynamic fight sequences that defy the limitations of live action, expansive worlds and creatures brought to life with limitless creativity, and a chance to explore the lore of the Power Rangers universe in ways that traditional production couldn't. Yet, despite these exciting prospects, several attempts to launch an animated Power Rangers series have been made-and failed-ultimately fading into obscurity, forgotten by time. What happened?

Because it never happened
My idea for a PR animated series would be either having an anime that would really be connected to Sentai and dub it to be adjacent to PR (like what SSSS Gridman did tying it both to Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad and the original Tokusatsu) or having it be an anthology series where each episode could focus on a different season as to not just be MMPR rehashes
I wish we got an animated Power Ranger movie/series in the style of Spider-Verse & TMNT Mutant Mayhem.
The Boom Studios comics are really popular. Why don’t they make those comics animated.
I wish we had gotten a Shattered Grid movie in the vein of those animated DC movies that go hard.
Agreed i also think they should make it into a animated series based on the comics
I thoughts exactly.
That sounds like an awesome idea I love that!!💝🙌🤩
Animation is too expensive
Speaking of exclusive characters, the Future Omega Ranger is only in the console version of the game. The handheld version had a completely different character called the Guardian.
Man, I have always said this, an animated Power Rangers series and or movie would be awesome! Great video Este.
Bro he always makes good videos
I totally agree with that
THERE ARE ANIMATED POWER RANGERS AS WELL?!
DID ANYBODY EVEN KNEW THIS?!
yes I knew about an animated pitch from 2009.
There isn’t a completed one, just a scrapped attempt.
@@calebgoodman3028
There is Earth Granner. A Sentai like anime.
@@ObadiahQRex I know there are Sentai-like shows. Gachaman for example was the inspiration for Jetman.
The thing about that yellow ranger poster is that the gun she's holding is literally a Nerf Nite Finder. It's missing the plunger pull but still has the dart storage.
that megazord desigh is giving danny phantom and megas xlr vibes
I'm up for an animated series of Power Rangers, but it's looking for the right company to do it is a challenge.
That Nerd Corps animation makes me nostalgic for League of Super Evil. That studio has such a recognizable style to their animation.
i remember they went on to do the Max Steel reboot, and i remember it having that sort of bouncy characteristic in the animation typical of that studio's work! lmao
Nerd Corps are the only guys that can give us completely fluid animation with an stylized art for just TV Budgets.
@@thatguynobodywants3716Fortiche?
Head canon the re-version from 2010 is lord Drakkon’s timeline!
😂😂😂😂 No wonder he's evil
Fun fact: All the animations like the poses, megazord formation, the 3D Models and yes the construction site in the Power Rangers Origins trailer was reused for SAMG's Miniforce Series, that being its sequal Miniforce X, and yes SAMG, ZAG and Toei (yes Toei) Collaborated for Miraculous Ladybug
Power Rangers and Saban tripped hard so Miniforce could run. As ridiculously comical as the show is it’s been a decade strong with cool suits and mechs. There’s plenty of Korean, Chinese, and Indonesian animated Sentai beating Power Rangers in the medium.
@KRBrickBot it's funny that they're reusing the stuff to not let it go to waste
The ladybug/cat noire series is actually a French show that’s why it takes place in France and in America originally aired on Nickelodeon and i actually thought when Nickelodeon lost the rights to air the series it ended cause i didn’t know that it was still going and has had 5 seasons until Disney channel got it and was airing it at odd times of the day like really late overnight times for example
I did watched miniforce. It's not for me but I do like the theme song for miniforce.
@@KRBrickBot For Indonesia own's sentai, we have Nusantaranger, Balpil and even Kawanan Wira!
Considering how Kamne Rider W did this concept, it'd be interesting to see. Especially for more non-humanoid monsters and they could easily adapt the boom studios comic continuity
That was an interesting case. It’s based on a manga and a direct sequel to the Kamen Rider W season which I have seen cause problems for newcomers in discussions online when it came out.
Fuuto PI wasn't the first time Kamen Rider dived into animation
Look up "Kamen Rider SD"
Okay, so my idea for a Power Rangers animated series would be one called "Power Rangers Academy", which would see a team of new rangers under the tutelage of Billy, and a new Alpha X (who would be voiced by Bryan Cranston). Each episode would have them teaming up with a previous team of rangers, including ones from around the world (as Hasbro actually does own the rights to Sentai designs pre-Zyuranger, this allows for them to use damn near 50 years of suit designs), including a team from WW2 Imperial Japan, and even a team lead by Zordon 65 million years prior.
This series would also loosely adapt plot elements and themes from series that never got adapted into Power Rangers, and would utilize suit designs from Jetman for the man cast, which Billy would chalk up as "they were old morphers, and I couldn't think of what else to do with them. No, don't ask me how they work, they're before my time".
Been watching power rangers since I was 18
Easy answer is this:
Animation is expensive and seldom makes back its money. This is true for animation in general, but ESPECIALLY true for children's animation, which is likely what the target audience would be.
Now, there's one of two ways they could do it. 1. Rely on merch to make back any money. 2. Have Toei animate the show, and just dub it.
But either way, commissioning animation isn't cheap either. The best shot for a Power Rangers show would be to take an already animated show that already kind of looks like Power Rangers if you squint at it long enough, and just dub that while licensing any toys that exist in its home country under the Power Rangers branding.
To be honest, the question shouldn't be "why isn't there a Power Rangers animated series", but rather "why isn't their a Sentai animated series", as that'd be the best way to accomplish it.
If it were up to me to pitch my ideal Power Rangers animated series, I would incorporate story elements from Super Sentai and give the animated series a darker tone (think along the lines of Batman: The Animated Series, Gargoyles, and Beast Wars).
• Rita Repulsa was once a corrupt apprentice of Zordon, named Bandora. She wanted revenge against him for the death of her son (he was destroying the dinosaur eggs, which would be the basis for the guardian beasts). After her first attempt at revenge failed, she would sell her soul to the demonic being, known as Zedd, and she became Rita Repulsa.
• Jason and Tommy would be step-brothers and are both bred from feuding wealthy families (similar to Geki & Burai's backstory from ZyuRanger).
• Very much like Burai from ZyuRanger, Tommy would die very similar to his Sentai counterpart. As far as the White Ranger goes, Jason would become the White/Green Ranger (in memory of his brother) while Rocky would be the Red Ranger. By the time that happens, the rest of the cast would be wearing the DaiRanger suits.
I would love a animated power rangers series but to focus on many teams and not just mmpr.
I think it could really work
Also because it’s animated we could use the voice acting from some of the rangers of old and it won’t matter their physical age
@@kyngouexactly, perfect idea man.
Mighty Miniforce is probably the closest we’ll ever get to an animated Power Rangers
I hope Power Rangers could get the Spider-Verse & Mutant Mayhem treatment.
Thanks for finding the power rangers origins clip
I was one of the people who saw it sometime when I was in college. I think it was like 2010 2011
And it just disappeared and I was starting to believe that maybe I had just dreamed it up
Never even knew this existed.
Sentai Red Isekai about to be a wave once it airs next year
Hasbro and Disney are no different from each other. Both bought the franchise hoping to cash in on how popular of an IP it was. However unlike Disney, Hasbro was a one and done deal only making one Ranger show. Whereas Disney had Wild Force all the way to Jungle Fury. Power Rangers need to just stick to one permanent owner who respects the legacy it left behind.
If I were to make a Power Rangers animated series I’d make a new team of Rangers, probably Marine or Avian themed.
I think Jetman could be adapted if it was animated.
Honestly the best way to make an power rangers animation is in the style of boom studios comics
The only way I could see an animated power rangers season work is a zordon prequel with zordon and alpha 1-5.
I like you man, that’s a sub!!!
With how popular anime has become, how is there no power rangers anime??
Probably because of licence rights
because Toei says so
I mean there are a few power rangers inspired manga like me villains day off or ranger reject or red tanager in another world
@@AthiusOnTop Also Love After World Domination.
The Nerd Corps Animation (or DHX Animation Vancouver) was kinda giving me Iron Man: Armored Adventures vibes and I absolutely loved that show when I was little cause I spent some weekends with my dad and I just watched re runs of that show and Wolverine and the X-Men on Nicktoons
Been watching miraculous and honestly it is power rangers through and through. I wish power rangers the movie got picked up and we got a crossover with the show as it’d have done so much for the brand
0:10 its not spandex!
Ok Dr k
@@ethanvanvleck8269damn bro, you got bars.
*Holds back Dr.K*
It would be nice if we had a power ranger game similar to the Spider-Man game
Bruh, have you seen Mini Force?! It's really, and essentially, Power Rangers! Only thing is, the Rangers themselves are just house pets. LOL!
Those concept art suits are SOOO slick oh my lord
Love the capes
I hope that you had a great thanksgiving
Thanks for the video
My Pitch For A Power Rangers Animated Series Has Gotta Be Power Rangers Hexagon. Yes Let's Get Them From Different Seasons
Zordon: Alien Turbo & In Space
Post Zordon: Lost Galaxy & Wild Force
Disney: Ninja Storm S.P.D. & Jungle Fury
Neo-Saban: Megaforce Dino Charge & Ninja Steel
Hasbro: Beast Morphers & Cosmic Fury
Boom! Team Of Rangers Hasbro Put Them In Animation Put Some New Rangers In There Have Them Fight Monsters Rangers From Other Worlds New Powers From Super Megaforce Put One Of Those In There & Boom! A Power Rangers Animation Show Made By Lane Inc. Approved.
Theres at least various anime out there that parody sentai
Looks like thats all we're gonna get
I really want a Go Go Loser Ranger review from you man
it is such a shame they never went through with it, an animated series would be awesome
ESQUAD Massive!! 🎉 boom comics shattered grid as an animation would be dope
8:41 Plex? I never heard of this make before. I heard of Rainbow, but not this one!
My take on a PR animated series would consist of ‘lost episodes’ of live action seasons where we see battles against creative and unique monsters as well as adaptions of fun Sentai episodes that weren’t adapted properly (like Boukenger’s Ring of Solomon or Gekiranger’s Howa-Howa! Mama Work). Maybe it could be an anthology hosted by Finster.
If i was able to do a power rangers animated series, or movie. It will be an anime, that takes inspiration from Boom Comics Super Sentai, that cater more for adults.
Also Disney XD came after Jetix. I remember the last day it aired.
We need a Power rangers animation
Hasbro should do an animated power Rangers series what the heck is Hasbro waiting for?
10:32 take some elements from the sentais pre power rangers and make a story from that it would give a way of introducing the never before seen powers while also making so that the footage being used to take imsaration from is not too old similar to what some comics have done but a show gets more views than a comic would
my idea, do the whole Zordon era as an Animie. Not shot for shot, but do the major story lines.
Ahhh Rangerboard shoutout. A simpler time.
16:50 Marcos mentioned!! I'm friends with him!! he's a cool dude!! :)
i grew up watching saturday american anime cartoons like magi nation, dinosaur king, tai chi chasers, and spider riders. i’m not sure how successful those shows were as they really really niche, but a part of me always wished that power rangers ventured out to a cartoon show that style. i’d highly suggest anyone to look up those shows if you wanna see
Shattered of the grid.Because I would like to see lord trackin involved
So, that’s what the “Power Rangers origins” script reading at PMC was about.
My idea for a Power Rangers animated series would be something like Super Legends and Shattered Grid, a team of rangers from former shows and eras all together
I am planning to make a animated super sentai/ranger series, animation for ep 0 is finished however I am still working on the sound effects so stay tuned
I will never understand why the boom studio comics were never used as a jumping off point for animation
I really like your pitch, an animated power rangers mystery filler sounds like a great idea, I have a concept myself of what I would want an animated series to look like. First of all I would make this universe completely disconnected from the entire PR multiverse since we are rebooting the franchise I think it would be best if the writers had as much free liberty as possible, and a fresh multiverse means fresh characters who I would make them the main ranger team throughout the entire series, or at the very least the majority. As for the ranger roster the colours would be red, blue, yellow, green and pink the most iconic series of colours we have seen. As for what I would want the show to look like my top choices are x-men 97” since I’m pretty sure that MMPR was the show that came out after the original ended so it would be a nice nod to older fans and it has some spectacular animation and bright and bold colors that makes it feel like a comic book come to life, or the art style from justice league unlimited for a more Saturday morning action cartoon vibe, or a completely original art style. As for the tone I would want the show to have I would say the same as before, just get rid of a lot of the slapstick humour and make it a bit more mature, and no when I say mature I don’t mean add blood and swears… Well maybe a little blood but nothing to crazy I would try to focus more on the characters and stories rather than the humour, but still has that hopeful and at times can give you chuckle. The best example I can compare this to is think My Adventures With Superman, with it’s loving and hopeful anime style that will warm your hearts and it’s references that will be fun for both the nerds and the boomers, and it’s crazy plot twists and characters depth that will break your art to where you are going to need therapy lol. I would make the villain or villains I should say more threatening and interesting and maybe try to make each ranger unique in terms of powers, since you it’s called POWER rangers, whether that’s giving them elemental abilities based on their colours like red is fire or blue is water, or giving them unique powers like giving pink telekinesis or green invisibility, heck you can even bring back some old powers as reference like giving red super speed like Dino thunder red. And that is my pitch for an animated power rangers series sorry this took so long hope you like it and have a happy holiday 😊
If they animated the Boom Comics stories for an older audience I feel they would do so well and reinvigorate the franchise. If not that then start with adapting them into some kind of higher budget action game.
Where’s the ESQUAD video game!?!!
Well I guess all we can do now is talk about what was and what could've been because Power Rangers has strayed so far from Super Sentai it has basically turned PR into a dead franchise and if someone does pick it up later, a zombie franchise
PR is already a zombie franchise, in case you haven't noticed, no one has been making any Toku adaptations since Dragon Knight. There is no demand or desire for Toku adaptations in the entertainment industry, and PR's status in pop culture is that of a bad joke, it's only held in good regard by the fans. PR is a relic of the 90s that only stuck around because it had Sentai, and it was cheap to make (with its owners finding ways of making it even cheaper). The one-time PR got an owner that tried to make it less of a bad joke in pop culture resulted in the franchise's death.
I really hope that if the animation project does actually work this time, Hasbro should be using polygon pictures, the people who made Transformers prime.
Oh heck yes. Shouting out Miraculous Ladybug. Great show. The first 2 seasons were by episode the about halfway through season 3 it became serialized. Totally recommend.
Going back and re watching dino thunder and turbo i wonder how many times jason david frank missed the key hole on his morpher causing them to reshoot the morphing scenes
The biggest reason we may never see an animated power rangers is that Voltron already exists and it’s basically animated power rangers because the franchise American Voltron is based off of is basically Toei ripping off itself cause super sentai started in 1975 and Voltron started in Japan as Beast King GoLion in 1981 which could be why an animated series has never gotten out of production
Look at Este! Over 116k way to go!
esquad what if master zedd meets robo rita
Welp este is about to go on another 82 decade break
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… Power Rangers Hyperforce DESERVES to have an animated series continuation
Turn the Power Rangers Hexagon pitch into an animated series. It’d be way cheaper to animate so many past rangers, instead of live action, and have some reprise their roles with some voice acting. Not sure if Tommy would still be in it. Like would it be inappropriate to have a sound alike, or a tribute to him, to keep him a part of the universe?
If I would create by own Power Rangers team, it would be a doctor theme. Plus, that Black Ranger holding a Pink Ranger helmet looks like Jack Darby from Transformers Prime.
I would love to see animated power rangers I believe they should try it again.
Have it like medievals times and the Morphers are like daggers that turn into swords but each one is a shard from Excalibur
so basically BOOM! studios has been carrying the ranger franchise for the longest time? damn
I would start off the series with the origin story and slowly lead into the shattered grid event. I would go with the animated style of the early DC animated movies from the like of Batman Vs Robin , Justice League War.
Adapt Kyuranger, and make it a distant sequel of In Space.
We can literally name them super space .....
Wait, the "E" in Chuck E. Cheese stands for Entertainment??? Im 31 and just learned that, crazy
I like to see an animated Power Rangers come to life
How I would pitch a power rangers animated show?
in 1993, high schoolers Dylan Duckworth [Blue], Petra Paviar [Pink], Cynthia "Cyn" Cranson [Yellow], Gregory "Greg" Gregson [Black] and Jonah Jaseon [Red] are 5 teenage best friends who become the power rangers through a mystical alien being called Zordon, who whisk them from there ordinary lives and puts them on a new path with new powers and tech. are tasked to watch and protect the Zeo crystal of earth against a dark and powerful army.
30 years later and the rangers are retired, as new groups have taken on the fight. former pink ranger, Petra finds her old boyfriend and sixth ranger Adam Zackary Asiago [Green] dead. it becomes a noir approach. as a dark messanger from the past appears and these original rangers have to come out of retirement and figure out whats going on. They also team up with the current ranger crop. Emila Estevez [Red], Hunter Jackson [Violet], Kaitlyn Kaszowski [Black], Simon Saban [Orange], Alex Caspian [White] and sixth ranger Zalidan [Sapphire]. each season would then be about 12-22 episodes of animated action, adventure, etc.
I would love an animated version of the boom! Comics, please, is awesome
I would much rather see a cartoon based on the team at 6:37 instead of trotting out the Mighty Morphin' team again. They've had their day in the sun, time for something new.
Something Animated with the Kyuranger suits and brand new swords
I want it to be a series based off of zordon’s origin story.
Please collab w/ a Yugioh UA-camr & talk about the archetypes Inzektor, Masked Hero, Super Quant, & A-Z machines. These arcetypes are based on the various tokusatsu franchises ❤
i has no idea their was animated one ?
I think a Donbrothers adaptation would work better as an animated show
"Very interesting that the Yellow Ranger looked like the Ladybug from Miraculous"
🤢☠️🤢☠️
My personal pitch would be a kingdom hearts power rangers collab heart force just sounds like a nice powerrangers title
I’m personally not big on a power rangers show that uses old characters, I always found the idea a little to fanficly, I never liked it, I would far rather an original team that can have gimmicks that take advantage of being animated
There's something similar its called shen shou jin gang
It's simple the studios get ready to do it plan it all out with brilliance then go "wait does this mean we'll have to make the entire show ourselves meaning giving it a full budget?! Well fuck that then
The same reason as why there's never a Sentai anime... wait a minute...
Well the new one is a parody isekai and most "Sentai animes" are niche tribute or derivative work at most.
Power Ranger Story
Adopt Don Brothers, mix of Animation and Live
Can improve a bit,
It be the testing water to full animation
Have a brand new story but coming back from the cosmic fury, storyline and use a whole new other team, but using a stop motion kinda deal still animation, but different
Where did you get the foot tapping Mickey Mouse?
My favorite power ranger movie is the 2017 movie well that's because it's not silly too and feels like a good superhero movie.
they need to make an animated version of the comics
imagine an animated shattered grid or ranger academy, it would be awesome
Ya know, with the craze of turning animated franchises into live action. We should think about turning live action grace into animation. I have 2 franchises that I think deserve the animated adaptation:
-Percy Jackson animated series
-POWER RANGERS animated series
