You shouldnt have sent Tai that picture of me.
ThoughZyurangeroften follows the same basic structure as its US cousin, it also contains a number of significant differences.
And then, of course, theres the Burai saga.
A fondly remembered dramatic highlight of the series, its considerably less traumatic than the Japanese equivalent.
Rather than being under a spell, green ranger Burai is red ranger Gekis brother with a serious grudge.
Eventually Bandora finds and destroys Burais chamber, and the Zyurangers are unable to stop the inevitable.
Its tragic, operatic stuff, and rightly praised.
But the truth is that both shows have their good points and their bad points.
And there are certainly times when it can be argued thatPower Rangersimproves on its source material.
Take the sixth episode ofMMPR,Food Fight, for instance best remembered for its villain Pudgy Pig.
Its Japanese equivalent is DoraCirce, a creature based very loosely on Greek mythology.
Its a much simpler, more logical plot, and as such makes for more satisfying viewing.
If you were ever a fan of the originalPower Rangers,Zyurangeris both fresh and familiar viewing.
Pete can be heard weighing up the merits of bothPower RangersandZyurangerevery week onRangerPod, available fromrangerpod.com.
