So why are these Juralians so obsessed with Earth's children?

Why do aliens in all of the power ranger/senpai/magical girl shows always taking over the world by attacking 1 city hehe :>

Capture every last child on earth !

And then we'll hold these children known as Earth's children hostage!

Understood ?

What a plan xD

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Geez, this sucks.
Barely any sound effects throughout the episode, save for the one laser blast and explosion at the climax...
The robot sidekick isn't cute at all, either.
and the animation seems really low budget, even for the era.

were you actually expecting a master piece of animation from a 6min kid's cartoon that probably ran as part of a larger programming block?

I mean this was a dull piece of kid's fluff, and I'll probably find something else to watch, but this really isn't that bad for what it is.

I was at least expecting something watchable. I watched this first episode before I learned how infamous this show actually was.
It's been a while now since I've watched the first episode, but I just remember a lot of inconsistencies in the animation. It even rivals that one infamously poorly animated scene from G.I. Joe. you know the one:

You should maybe rewatch it, because the animation was no where near that bad. Though I've watched a few more episodes since I made that post and the episodes after the first is where it really get's bad. Story lines that make no sense, like Ken not being able to transform due to a mild fog that makes things sort of dark. Confusing cuts like just cutting to a sub and then abruptly cutting the bad guys, the bad guys are in the sub but you don't know that, and until later it just seems like an erroneous still. This anime is bad but the first episode is the least of it's worries.

Lmao, the absolute lack of sound effects was the worst (read "best") part of this.

I wish I could that many rolls in mid-air and still land a precise shot. 100% skill right there.

75% of ost was the opening. That song is not gonna haunt me at all, lol.
