Power Rangers 1993 - 2008
Power Rangers is a long-running American children's television
series adapted from the Japanese tokusatsu Super Sentai Series,
though it is not simply an English dub of the original.
Rather, it is a 'new' production with English-speaking actors
spliced in with the original Japanese footage in varying ratios.
Due to the very Japanese nature of many of the Super Sentai
Series' stories and design, the American shows are altered
to fit a Western audience. However, many of the action sequences featuring the characters in costume and the mecha (referred to as "Zords" in the English series) are typically dubbed.

Pre-Power Rangers / Super Sentai 1975-1991
The Super Sentai Series is the name given to the long running Japanese
"superhero team" genre of shows produced by Toei Company Ltd.,
Toei Agency and Bandai, and aired by TV Asahi
("Super" refers to their use of mecha, and "sentai" is the Japanese word for "
task force" or, literally, "fighting squadron" and was also
a term used for Japanese squadrons in WWII).
The shows are of the tokusatsu genre,
featuring live action characters and colorful special effects,
and are aimed mainly at families.
This series is one of the most prominent tokusatsu productions
in Japan, alongside the Ultra Series, the Kamen Rider Series,
and the Metal Hero Series.
