Super Sentai may be used as
Power Rangers primary source footage but many differences between
the two shows still emerge. Super Sentai usually shows more violent
images, matureer storylines. Characters have been known to die. Super
Sentai also is not affraid to be funny at times, even more so
than PR. Many situations in Sentai may not be as funny or make as much
sense to Americans ( due to the fact the show is from a different
culture than our own ) Super Sentai has also been on longer than Power
Rangers. With the first thirteen series not even being adapted by Power
Rangers ( Power Rangers didn't even exist till after ZuyoRanger, not
counting the Bioman piolet).
Power Rangers generarly is more lighthearted and doesn't show overly
violent or sexual situations. It maybe isn't quite as mature as Super
Sentai is. Of course there is the obvious american footage that is
different. As well as some american made characters. Their have been
whole Power Rangers seasons that have differed from Super Sentai in
season plot. These can mostly be found in the early episodes.
The irony is that Super Sentai actually aims for a lower target
audeince than PR has. Japense culture is different than american
culture. They don't mind their kids seeing the more mature stuff since
they feel it may
learn the proper way to act in those situations. They don't think
of TV has harming children as much as Americans do. They don't really
have a problem where children replicate what they see on tv.
