Default Why do Power Rangers fan hate Sentai?

I don't understand why so many Power Ranger fans hate Sentai? Why would you hate the thing that is the source for you're favorite show? Its like if a Sailor Moon fan hated the Japenese Anime. Power Rangers is Sentai as much as DIC Sailor Moon is Toei Sailor Moon.

There are some fans that don't hate Sentai they just hate the idea of Power Rangers copying and pasting the Sentai version into Power Rangers because some Power Rangers fans believe that Power Rangers should be an original story.

It's not in the same vein as the other examples since those instances were dubbing whereas Power Rangers is supposed to be an adaptation and not a dubbing.

I do not hate Sentai, heck I've been wanting to watch it! Only problem is, for me, I like to do things from the beginning. Example: If I play Resident Evil, I cant play just Resident Evil 2. I gotta play the WHOLE SERIES. So If I can watch Super Sentai, I would want to watch it from Go Ranger to Toqger.

It was "too different" from what they grew up with, Japan's style of humor doesn't sit well with them, or because they like Power Rangers having a shared continuity and Super Sentai literally being a franchise of done-in-ones doesn't appeal to them.

Thats what turns me off of it. But I don't hate it or want to ruin it found other people. Its just not my thing. Plus its harder to get the episodes than Power Rangers right now.

Yeah I have the same problem. By the time you find the episodes and watch them all...Its just a lot of time to invest in. Of course it would take awhile for newbies to watch all of PR too, even with netflix. So I just read what I can about it. So I am informed.

Well, Zyuranger gotten an official DVD release and all of 2000 and 2010s Sentai with the exception of Timeranger and Hurricaneger has all been subbed. Changeman, Jetman, Dairanger, Kakuranger, and Megaranger all have been completed subbed, with Ohranger, Carranger, and Gingaman almost being finished.

I guess its just hard to get the time to track then down on my side. I would rather have them dubbed though. Buying the Zyuranger DVDs would be tempting.

It targets a smaller demo no question. More people in the US are going to know PR. The Sentai fans are usually the hardcore toku fans.

I love both personally. But I count them as two different shows. They both have their strengths and weaknesses.
