No foolin'

April Fools in this fandom (especially on Rangerboard) is always weird and this year was no different.

However, thanks to Poweranimals and his source, two bits of news have come up within the past couple weeks that are NO joke. A Go-onger adaptation is in the works and Jungle Fury will be teaming up with Ninja Storm.

As much as I don't like Go-on's mecha, I'll at least give it a chance next year. It sounds like it's more of a parody of sentai, along the lines of CarRanger and doing something different than the past couple years. So whether or not it's produced in Canada and by a new team, they probably won't be able to use a lot of the footage. Also according to Poweranimals, they don't really like that the mecha talks, but won't be able to get around it. It'll certainly be an interesting year to see what happens with this. One thing that's pretty likely is that next years PR will have to be GREAT (in other words, Kalish will have to leave), otherwise I'll be through with the commentary.

For the teamup, I'm happy we'll at least get to see the Wind Rangers together again over the OO Rangers. Whether or not they didn't want OO back because they didn't like Benta or they'd rather do something with NS and their powers -- who knows. Hopefully the person who helped RJ tap into the morphing grid was in fact Sensei, not Hartford. ^_^
