Sentai: It's Not Just Power Rangers
Saturday 9 AM-10 AM, Live Two
For over 30 years, the Super Sentai franchise of
tokusatsu shows has been saving Japan from evil alien forces, ancient
civilizations, demons, and countless other foes. While most of the
world has known it since 1993 only through its Western adaptation,
Power Rangers, the show has a rich and deep history beyond that. Come
check it out!
I'm putting in some work on this panel. It's going to be fun times. Excuse the crap time, it'll be awesome.
Sadly, the local con that I am staff for this year is the week ahead of Katsu, and that is going to drain me, mentally and possibly financially.
Though then again, the only time I did two cons in two weekends (Anime Mid-Atlantic/Power Morphicon), after the second one I slept about 14 hours in a row....I was that tired.
7 more days....ah!
