That’s usually a sign something is an April Fools joke. You announce it a few days before to give it merit. Not saying this is one but just saying that does typically happen the week just before often.

yes yes yes

Too good to be true

It’s not an April Fools Joke. If it is, a lot of money was wasted on it. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if we get more V-Cinema movies like this one, after Gokaiger’s success. Hurricanger was the first Sentai I watched from beginning to end, so I’m really excited about this.

I wish shurikenger will come too

No, I don’t think it’s fake. The cast were hinting at something around New Year. Hurricaneger isn’t exactly my favorite Sentai but if this leads to a Dekaranger or Abaranger reunion, I’ll be happy

So… Toei and Bandai have realized that there is a market for stories about the characters from former shows. Thus also a market for the toys… *squeeee!*

Thought it was an April fools joke, but this is the real deal. they are really coming back, and feeling nostalgic again from watching it over 10 years ago, damn how time flies.
the first sentai to use the ger as a mix for eg: hurricane + ranger = hurricanger.
Not the best sentai show but a very unique and a fun one with an awesome ending and at the time was really refreshing and had also allies the gouraigers and the mysterious shurikenger felt new after hundred beasts squadron growlranger (gaoranger). Cant wait to watch the 10 years after, very excited . Hope this kind of revival trend continues with other older sentai shows also.
Wind Ninja Squadron Hurricanger is here again and dont forget to bring shurikenger voice actor back too

Do you know that sentai started with Goranger, right?
And you know that it’s exactly Go (Five in japanese) + Ranger, right?

Of course, was referring to the ger,as a term short for ranger as a pun for eg :
hurrican ger –
bouken ger –
go-on ger –
shinken ger –
gosei ger
gokai ger-
kyoryuu ger

Maybe they could do the same for Power Rangers Ninja Storm.
