Power Rangers Online

News

7/23/08 Xrangeronline is a news site for Super Sentai and other Tokusatu. Its run by Boukenger. And has been in operation for a few years, with some retoolings over the years. It also has a picture gallery and forum.

XRangeronline.com once had a site that I ran. Originally I had a site called the Power Rangers Online Database on rangerdatabase.com, in hopes of promoting the Power Rangers Online Ezboard. The companion news and opinion site for it was XRangerOnline ( thats how I spelt it when I ran a site on the domain). It eventualy took a similar format to this news section.

Eventually I dropped XRangerOnline and just focused on PROD. I morphed PROD into the new version of the PRO website ( My work is inspired and meant to be a continuation of the old PRO but thats another story that is answered in the FAQ) and ended up adding a news section. I then let Boukenger use the xrangeronline.com domain, to make a brand new site of his own. He has really impressed me. I am happy I let someone use the domain, that is making good use for it.

7/23/08 Power Rangers Gateway contains a group of websites with information detailling Ninja Story, Space Patrol Delta, Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive, and Jungle Fury. Power Rangers Gateway is a long running site that stands up pretty well with most sites its age. This includes ranger bios, news, pictures, weapons bios, villians bios, and much more for each season.

In an era, where new websites are hard to come by and message boards oversaturated...Its nice to see a quality site that has come about during the past five years. Its not the only one, but a good one none the less.

7/22/08 A new Tokusatsu themed board has popped up, called Henshin Elite. It covers Power Rangers as well as other Toku. It will be interesting to see it grow. Its operated by Omega Break. It runs on Vbulletin. The board is young, so it would be a perfect board for someone looking to get in on something at the ground floor.

7/22/08 Funaroboard has a very interesting post about the Zeo Serials, which aired to during MMPR season 3 reruns to hype Zeo. This thread should shed more light on the serials.

The serials are hard to place in canon. Since they make it seem like Zeo doesn't happen for a few weeks. But when Zeo starts its right after the end of MMPR 3. They discuss this in the Zeo Serial thread. The serials were pretty unique for PR and nothing like it was never done again. Zeo seemed so fresh and interesting at the time. But ironically failed to get ratings back up. Turbo, the season most hated by the online fanbase actually stablized the ratings.

7/22/08 It seems someone is trying to start a Beetleborg's Message Board. The layout needs a lot of work ( the colors make it hard to read) and its not very active yet. But it is a nice idea. There aren't many active Beetleborg's sites or boards around. So I hope this new board works out.

Big Bad Beetleborgs was a spin off series of Power Rangers back in the mid ninties, from Saban Entertiantment. It adapted another Toku Series. In Beetleborgs three ordinary kids used a wish to become their favorite comic book superheros. As a ramification the villan's were able to escape the comic book world. The show was later retooled into Beetleborg's Metallix. Beetleborg's aired on Fox Kids and got some pretty good ratings during its run.

7/22/08 I'd like to spotlight a notable site that is very useful. Rangerprops provides the fandom with a place to discuss props. Whether you are collecting them or looking to make you're own. They cover Power Rangers and Kamen Rider props. They have a gallery and forum among other things. The forum is a great place to discuss the props of PR and Kamen Rider. And is full of some fan propmakers. This site fuffills a niche in this fandom.

7/21/08 Lets spotlight some notable threads. Parental Guidence suggested ( just in case). At Henshintalk you have, " Who Didn;t like the Zordon era" and "How Should Disney Handle the Decline of Power Rangers" . Starpoints Rangerscasts has, " Can Disney's Series live up to Saban's" and "Power Rangers Anniversy". At Rangerboard you have, "What You Miss Most About PR Pre-Lost Galaxy-Jungle Fury and "PRLG: Quasar Quest Review ". At PRE you have, "Does Anyone Know Who Sky's Dad Was" and "Most Touching Momment in Power Rangers"

7/21/08 Time to go into more Fan Fiction plugs. As usually parent's should check these fics out first before letting their kids. This time I'm going to highlight fics from Power Rangers Empire. You have to be registered there to see the fics. But registration is free.

First up we have " Its Morphing Time: Part 1" , by Red One. Which is a retelling of MMPR. M14Mouse takes the comedic route for NS, in her " Hug the Guinea Pig" fan fic. M14Mouse also writes, PRLG Stars. Which is a story about the friendship between Kendrix and Damon. "Power Rangers : A Wild Time" for SPD is written down by MarieScott. And seems to feature a team up between Time Force, SPD, and Wild Force. Magi-Mermaid writes "Power Rangers DinoThunder: The Jerrasic Age ". Which deals with the DT Ranger's children. "Power Rangers Jungle Fury: Unleash the Beasts" is written by Master RJ. It features the Jungle Fury Rangers and a few new characters. Darky5k ( who I believe is Darky from Rangerboard) writes, "Prophecies Of the Morphing Grid". Which seems to dive into the ancient history of the Power Rangers Universe.

7/20/08 When I was catching up on news last week, I forgot to include an important update. Its old news now but...... Nutty88 posted some interesting news at Rangerboard, about the UK getting DVD boxsets for Ninja Storm-Operation Overdrive . Before non UK fans try buying these they must make sure their DVD players can play the foriegn format that the UK uses. In the US, we have Operation Overdrive released in various volumes of DVDs. But no complete collections of episodes for other seasons.

Here is the thread at Rangerboard about this

7/20/08 Time to spotlight some fan fiction being posted on various PR forums. . I'd suggest parents sample these before letting their children read. Just because I am not closely reading these. But I want to try and promote some fan fics on various boards. I'm actually looking for someone that follows stuff like this. So drop me an email if you're interested in sending me links to some good fics. I'm not going to be able to list stuff from every board in this newsbyte. But I will try to rotate and plug fics from the other boards next time. I want to try and make this an everyday newsbyte, or at least fequent ( Yes, I actually plan on posting newsbytes everyday).

Lets start with Rangerboard. There is Twilight Ranger's own sequel to Forever Red,"Forever Red 2". Shycode is writing "Mighty Morphing Power Rangers: Return to Angel", whichs features the return of Master Vile , Thrax, and Angel Grove. Darky writes yet another continuation of Power Rangers in, "A Future In Recovery: AFIR 2- Revolution In The Land Of Confusion". Which features the return of Tommy Oliver as Green Ranger and Dex as Masked Rider, relating to SPD as well. Lastly, here is a pair of JF fan fics to qwell you're taste buds; GenerationX7's " Big Trouble in China" and "Aggression of the Scorpion" by Jerry. For more RB Fan Fiction go to their fan fic section.

Now on to Henshin Talk. You have Pinkranger's "Power Rangers Time Force: The Missing Year" , which continues the adventures of the TF Rangers ( once they return to the future). A Sequel to DinoThunder in "Power Rangers DinoThunder Season 2", by DTY. Which acts a somewhat of a sequel to Ninja Storm with new Rangers. But with some old allies in the former DT Rangers. Here is Skelemon's , "Friend In Need" . Which is an SPD fic centering on Sam and Z. For more Henshin Talk Fics, go to their fan fic forum.

Now lets look at Starpoints Rangercast. A Forever Red inspired "Power Rangers : Forever Pink", by Dracus ( There have been numeroud Forever Pink fics over the years by different authors). Dracus writes another fan fic that takes place during MMPR season 1, "Mighty Morphing Power Rangers: Maiden of Destruction". Solarbaby614 writes " PRJF: Mommy Dearest". Which is a story about Casey's mother. For more Rangercast fiction go here.

7/20/08 Speaking of Chris Funaro, I wanted to point out an interesting thread on Funaroboard. Which I coincidently started ( the thread not the board, obviously ). Its asking about why we don't have new fandom contributers to take the riens of the old guard. It garnered some very interesting responses. And is a very worthwhiled read.

On a side note, Chris Funaro has also recently return to Rangerboard. Just to add to what I posted below.

Here is the link to his profile there.

7/19/09 Chris Funaro ( alias Commander Crayfish) has been posting a lot at Starpoints Rangercast and Henshin Talk lately. Funaro is just a fan but he is a very knowlegeable one. I think he can really make a difference on these forums. His posts are very well written and thought provoking. And usually make for very good threads. I don't know how long he will keep posting but I look fowards to his future posts.

Chris Funaro has been a member of the online fandom since the beginning. He was a frequent visitor of the Usenet Power Rangers Newgroup. And the owher of the popular Funaroverse web portal. He also was a long time member of Rangerboard. Today he owns Funaroboard and is one of the hosts of the Rangercast podcast. He almost had a chance to work on Power Rangers as a writer. Once Disney changed the producution staff after Wild Force's wrapped production, he lost that oppertunity.
