Storyline

Bandora's son was killed by dinosaurs and she vowed revenge against the Earth. Five tribes from ancient human civilizations chose one of their best warriors to form the Dinosaur Battle Team Beast Rangers (Kyouruu Sentai Juurenjaa) and protect the planet. The complete form of their Guardian Beasts (Shojuus), Ultimate Great God of Creatures (Kyuukyoku Daijuujin) imprisoned Bandora and her gang on the planet Nemesis. In 1992, Barza, posing as an apartment manager, was forced to revive the Juurangers to protect Earth again when astronauts accidentally released Bandora.

User Reviews

Everything that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers isn't.

A witch named Bandora has escape from her prison after two astronauts open the seal while exploring on a planet that enters our solar system every some thousands of years. Banza a mystical sage who sealed Bandora must awake the mystic Zyurangers who have been put to sleep for millions of years. With their dinosaur/prehistoric animal mechas, they'll have what it takes to take down Bandora's monsters.

For a long time, I've been curious to see how different this was compared to Power Rangers. And after seeing the whole thing, there's no comparison other than sharing the same themes. Not to mention the story is 60% different from that of Power Rangers. And there is an actual conclusion to it while Power Ranger continued longer than 50 episodes.

I can only remember a little of Power Rangers, so I did recognize some of the footage that was used for that series. Except it was a different experience seeing how it was originally released in Japan.

I don't want to say it's better than Power Rangers. I just find the story to be better and more interesting. Those who disliked Power Rangers being too long will be glad that this one is shorter than power rangers.
