I know that many of you have episodes, movies, and music of Super Sentai, as well as Power Rangers that I do not have. (I haven't posted my stuff yet, but hey..) If you have some mind-blowing file that you want me to review, and possibly post and share, please upload it to my filebox using the form below. The file can be up to 100 megabytes. If you must, rar the file and split it into pieces.
Also, if you have any neat docs or anything that you would like to see posted, or any creations of your own that you would like to see posted, upload them! Zip em' up with a description, and I will review and possibly post them!

I have discovered a simple and free alternative to expensive pay services like GoToMyPC. It is called LogMeIn. Provided your purposes aren't commercial, you can have a free account. Just sign up, install the software to the computer you want to control, and then go to another computer. Go to logmein.com, logon, click the computer's name, and your desktop should load when you click "remote," after typing in yet another code for security. It uses 256 bit encryption, and can generate the desktop via a Mozilla extension, ActiveX, html, or java. It works very well. I have found it also lets me access restricted sites from filtered networks, such as my school's, using the broswer on the remote computer. That is one feature I really like. Currently, I use it to control my download box, which is not at the place I usually surf the net. I like this a lot!

I have found a very good method for searching for merchandise on sites like Amazon Japan. (Amazon Japan is one of the few sites I know of in Japan that ships to the United States). When I go to such a site, I usually am looking for Sentai related stuff, so I will use such a search as an example.
First, you need to install the Japanese language pack for your operating system. For me, that is Windows XP. Go to Control Panel (Classic View) >> double-click Region and Language Settings. In the window that pops up, click the Languages tab. Click the checkboxes that say both "Install files for complex script and ...blah blah blah," as well as "Install files for East Asian Languages." Then, after the install process is done, reboot your computer.
Then, go to Wikipedia. If you are wanting to find items related to Abaranger, search and find the Abaranger page. Copy and paste the Kanjii (Japanese Characters) that represent the show's title (they will be in parenthases). Copy everything up to the ",-" .
Then, go to Google Translate and use the url input box (the one at the bottom of the page). Type in the site you are going to be searching. For example here, I will type in "http://amazon.jp." Then, make sure that "Japanese to English BETA" is selected in the translation option box. Then, hit "go."
Once the translated site is loaded, simply copy and paste the Kanjii characters into the search box. Your results will come up. Don't forget that the translation may be a bit rough.
Should you choose to buy anything, you must register, and don't forget the conversion between your currency and that of the Japanese Yen.
------------------------------------------------------
There is an easier way to buy stuff from Yahoo! Auctions Japan. You go to Rinkya, a Japanese Auction and Shopping service. You pay a deposit (minimum $100) and can bid up to 5x that amount. You simply then search in English, and bid your items. Rinkya will then pay, and ship the item to you after it is shipped to them. Pretty sweet!
------------------------------------------------------
There are sites like Discount Anime DVD.com, which do have Sentai.
Of course, for techno toys, see Dynamism.

You should just sign up for Netflix! EVERY episode is there, as well as the Beetleborgs, VR Troopers, and more!
If you're not in the US, get a US based VPN and then use Netflix!

I enjoy watching Japanese TV, even the kids shows. This includes Super Sentai, which means "Task Force." Sentai in Japan has been going for 25 years or so, and its fight footage is used in the American "Power Rangers" series, which I am a fan of too.
Abaranger is set in present day, and in an alternate universe where dinosaurs are still alive, an evil force is attacking a black ranger. He, followed by the evil force, jumps through a wormhole and ends up in present-day Tokyo. The dinosaurs have evolved to the point of being intelligent and able to speak, and have somehow become mechanical beasts (thats one weird thing)... The story and plots are much better than our Abaranger equivalent, known as "Power Rangers: Dino Thunder." They do get slightly repetitive from time to time, like Scooby Doo, though. I give Abaranger 3.7/5.0 . You can find it various places, and if you are rich, buy dvds. I downloaded my episodes, which can be found at Power Rangers fan forums. I will post some links to those in the liks category. Note:Don't get this confused with Kyoryu Sentai: Zyuranger.
I would have to say that my favorite Sentai series are Kyoryu Sentai: Zyuranger, and Bakuryuu Sentai: Abaranger. Power Rangers wise, I like the original 3 seasons of Mighty Morphin', and Dino Thunder.
Below are the three pieces of episode 10 of Abaranger, with subtitles. More episodes can be found on YouTube by searching for Abaranger. Below the three videos of the episode below are two movies. Enjoy!
