I am going to be perfectly honest with everyone, I have been out of the Power Rangers loop since Space. It was during February of 2011 that I decided to get back into the series by watching Samurai, since I was curious to see how Saban is going to handle the new series. And why am I bringing up Power Rangers again? Well, it turns out that Power Rangers Mystic Force is going to air in Japan on the Toei Channel in August.
Atsushi Hashimoto the guy who played as Kai Ozu aka Magi Red from Mahou Sentai Magiranger will be taking care of the dub for the narrator, and there is a chance the rest of the Magiranger cast will return to dub the other characters. Which is pretty common for any Power Rangers series that gets to air in Japan -- though it would be nice if Super Sentai received the same priveledge in the US. Heck, that is why Power Rangers was mentioned in that one episode of Akibaranger.
From what I've heard, Mystic Force is one of the worse Power Ranger series out of the ones that Disney worked on. Personally, the club music doesn't seems to make it any better, since it feel out of place for a Power Rangers theme song. It saddens me to say this, because the original series Mahou Sentai Magiranger is currently one of my favorite Sentai series.
I am fully aware that Power Rangers and Super Sentai are both different, but if you are going to utilize a majority of the story elements from the original, you might as well go all the way. Since one of Magiranger's strong points is the character development between the five siblings. Yet the family theme was removed from Mystic Force, which might have been one of the factors that held it back (Based on what I've been told about Mystic Force.). And most importantly, the show lacks a proper replacement for the cuteness that is Nai and Mare.
In order to undo the curse of hearing Mystic Force's opening, I have placed a rejuvenating spell in the form ofMagiranger's opening right after the jump.
