Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.I only stomached Power Rangers to the point where Tommy became a White Ranger. And that was just barely.
I've never liked Sentai in general, actually. But boy, writing parodies on it, and even watching them, is funny.
For the record, while the Baka Rangers anime segments were good, they still didn't reach the heights of the PR Animaniacs spoof.
To be fair, it was Early-Installment Weirdness. Zeo was when the beard was starting to grow and in Space was probably where the series peaked in terms of "Oh, wow. The writing is actually awesome." After that, each season is either hit or miss. Time Force is considered one of the best seasons next to in Space.
Also, Super Sentai generally is better in terms of storytelling. I highly recommend the newest series Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger simply for the sheer awesome factor of the team being able to transform into all the previous Sentai teams.
It's very cool and the story is great considering the Sentai team aren't actually goody-goods this time and are very big anti-heroes.

@Fan: really? I kinda like Walky's 'Evil Brit' depiction. And Lea's always been like that. Also , you've met Silence. Let me narrow it down for you: Harry has attacked him with magic… and he's seen Harry naked.
@Marq: when you're done laughing, tell me what you think.

@Sereg: Sent back chapter 19. Maybe if I'm lucky I can actually get some of Nerima written tonight.
Reaction Image Repository<HUFF> Okay... I... <HUFF> I think... I got under... <HUFF> control... now. Man, how many more times are you going to try to make me die by laughter?
Anyway, I really loved Nodoka and Yue's fortunes. Very cute, quite romantic, and utterly funny for different reasons. Now I'm waiting for "Sawa-chan"'s turn.
Oh, and Evangeline's too.
Which reminds me.... Nobody remembers when it was first revealed to us that Evangeline is the bounty-of-six-million "Dark Evangel" that had been demonized into a stock children's boogeywoman by the magic community, huh?
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.Hmm
I'm wondering how long it'll be before Mage tries writing a legit crossover between MSN and MLP
I mean, I DO remember him saying about 100 posts back that MSN has helped teach us how to trust and depend on one another, which is a slightly more mature version of saying 'Friendship is magic'
Hey, I can appreciate the depth of his current projects, but I'm just sayin.
You know you want to add loveLove itself is highly relative.
Platonic or erotic, all affection boils down to love. Even friendship.
So...
If Love = friendship
Friendship = magic
magic = courage
So
Courage = love.
Did I do that right?
You know you want to add loveOh yeah? Well…
loneliness + alienation + fear + despair + self-worth ÷ mockery ÷ condemnation ÷ misunderstanding x guilt x shame x failure x judgment n=y where y=hope and n=folly, love=lies, life=death, Twilight=evil, self=Shadow Crystal Mage
Kneel before me!
- 5 Ego.
Regardless, if I wasn't already wrapped up in my two projects right now, I'd think of something.
But i've got EOA and my own ponyfiction to contend with.
But Teeth seems like he's got the Mages x Ponies faction handled for now.
You know you want to add loveYou need some parentheses. Unless you just want to add alienation, loneliness, fear and despair to the end.

I think you have part of that a bit wrong. Friendship =/= Magic, it's the other way around
Magic = Friendship.
Thats why Defeat Means Friendship is so prevalent in Negima and Magical Girl anime; if you beat someone up with magic, you're actually beating them up with friendship.
It all makes sense now!

I mentioned that.
But lets be honest here. I think we're ALL anticipating to see exactly what Mage can do if he takes MLP seriously.
You know you want to add loveUnequally-2814 snippet. More fun fortunes!
Honami smiled at the girl's enthusiasm, trying to shake off the weirdness of the last two predictions. "Okay, let's see… oh, you already have someone who likes you!"
Setsuna blushed.
"And you like them back!"
Setsuna blushed deeper.
"I see a wedding!"
Setsuna started twitching.
"But you'll have a rival!"
Setsuna grew still.
"This rival will be unrelenting, determined to take them away from you! And… oh my! She will succeed, and part you from your loved one with death, and you will not be able to stop her, for your rival shall have power over life and death, and cannot die, the black hand of entropy itself, with madness in their blood and the devil's own protection from consequence!"
Setsuna gasped.
Honami, perturbed herself, peered at the hand. "Or it could mean you'll live happily ever after. I always get that one confused."
"Happily ever after!" Setsuna gasped, pulling Konoka back from any more fortunes.
Konoka laughed. "Okay, your turn, Set-chan!" she said, taking Setsuna's hand and holding it out to Honami.
Grimacing at whatever fresh weirdness this will bring, she gingerly looked at hand. Someone likes you, likes you back, wedding, rival, parted by death by rival with devil's own protection… no, too similar! She needed something different, lest they think she was just repeating herself! She focussed harder… "Ah! You shall find your true love before your despised Nemesis does, and lie with them before they do, engaging in wild monkey se—" Honami barely stopped herself in time, realizing to her horror who she was telling this to.
Setsuna, meanwhile, was grinning. "YES!" she cried, punching the air. "SUCK ON THAT, YOU BIG-BREASTED NOIHARA CAT-SLUT! YEAH! CROWS RULE, CATS DROOL!"
Konoka blinked, staring as she usually did whenever she found new evidence Setsuna wasn't as all-together as she appeared.
As the still-maniacally laughing swordsgirl was dragged away by Mint and Chitose, Evangeline stepped forward, holding out her hand. Honami blinked, frowning at her.
"Same school, different section from those weirdoes, I swear," Evangeline said.
Honami shrugged, taking the hand, which felt cool to the touch. "Well, let's see… oh, you're going to live a long time…"
Eva smiled bitterly.
"And you're going to be a successful teacher, respected and well loved by your students, and world-famous to boot! And… oh my!"
"What?-!" Evangeline demanded.
Honami was blushing hard. "It says you will engage in an affair with one of your students which will last the rest of your life!"
Evangeline raised an eyebrow.
"And it will be a very young student, but also your most talented!"
The other eyebrow went up as well.
"But… oh my! You will be betrayed, for he will also have an affair with your maid, his secretary, your best friend, your roommate and… a Karakuri doll? That doesn't sound right…"
Eva's face became very smooth. "I think that's enough. That was the most ridiculous drivel I've ever heard. You sure you're a fortune teller?"
"I'm starting to wonder myself," Honami said dazedly.
Asuna and Chisame were dragged forward by Haruna, who both resignedly held out their hands. Honami took Chisame's hand first.
"Okay, let's see…" She cast about for specifically love-related and as close to normal things as she could. "Ah… you shall meet someone soon… and they'll be just like your sibling's lover…"
"I'm an only-child," Chisame said.
Honami racked her brain and the hand. "Well, 'sibling' in this context can mean twin, or someone you're really similar to… ah, I see you have someone like that, excellent. Anyway, this person you meet will be very devoted, loyal, a little weird, very worldly, and will like you for who you are. Also, they'll be good at photography. And though it will be hard to open up at first, with some sitcom-esque misunderstandings and situations, you two will eventually grow very close, your union blessed by the creator and the universe itself!"
Chisame and Honami both blinked at this. "That's… really normal."
"I know," Honami said, wondering how this perfectly normal girl got mixed in with these weirdoes. She really didn't seem the type to be friends with them.
Surprisingly for both of them, Chisame gave her a hug. "Thank you!" The hacker cried.
"W-what for?" Honami asked.
"For telling me I'll grow up normal and this is all just a phase!" Chisame cheered, actual tears in her eyes.
Evangeline made a disgusted sound and pulled her away.
Confused but gratified, Honami took the last girl's hand and perked up, deciding to stray a little from strictly 'love' fortunes. "Ah! Oh, let's see… you will live a long life and travel to interesting places and meet interesting people… you will have many friends who care for you… oh! You've already know of the man you're destined for!"
"Oh? Who? That sexy reporter Clark Kent? Bruce Wayne? Neil Patrick Harris?" Asuna asked eagerly.
"Asuna, he's gay, get over it?" Yue said tiredly.
"NEVER!"
"Ah, there will be many obstacles to your union," Honami continued. "You will need to learn to control your fiery, bloody-minded temper—"
"Done that!" Asuna chirped.
"And learn to embrace and control your passions," Honami said, blushing slightly. "Of which you have a lot of… oh my… and, um, the two of you will grow to care for each other deeply, but you will need to make the first step."
Asuna nodded solemly. "Any clue as to who it is?" she asked eagerly.
Honami peered closely, ignoring the signs that said 'protect Earth from super-powered space-zombies' which she still insisted meant 'direct a summer blockbuster hit' and which all the girls had. She couldn't be repetitive, after all. "Ah! It says here they will be your first kiss! Isn't that romantic?"
Asuna paled. If this were an anime, she'd have suffered Color Failure. She started to tremble.
"And that he will be the first person to sleep with you!"
Her legs started to shake.
"And… oh! He'll treat you like a princess. Isn't that nice? And… AH! He will always be there for you, will put your safety and happiness before his own, will never toy with your heart, is a perfect gentleman, will DEFINITELY never have sex with his mother, will be a highly respected teacher and internationally famous, and will genuinely care for you. Oh my! You lucky, lucky girl. What do you say?"
Asuna fell to her knees, throwing back her head and shaking her fists at the sky. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!"
Itoshiki Nozomu looked up. "What was that scream?"
"It sounded like Asuna-san," Ai said. "But isn't she in Kyoto?"
As everyone cleared their eardrums and Honami stared at the girl's reaction, Mint and Chitose dragged the hysterically crying girl away.
"Me next!" Haruna cried.
Now deeply disturbed, Honami took her hand and peered at it. "You will be loved by your friends," she said in confusion.
Haruna waited eagerly.
"That's it," Honami said.
Haruna paled. "That's it? That's all there is?"
"All there is," Honami confirmed.
"No more?"
"No more," Honami nodded, not bothering to mention the palm-reading equivalent of a 'gone to lunch, will come back to this some other time'.
Harina fell to her knees, throwing back her head and shaking her fists at the sky. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!"
Harumi looked up. "What was that scream? It sounded like Haruna!"
"Yes, it does, doesn't it?" Itoshiki commented, digging a hole below the tide line…
As the sobbing Haruna was dragged away, the door opened, and a dark-skinned woman entered. "There you are. Come on, we're moving."
As the girls filed out with varying degrees of reluctance, Kuro glanced at Honami. "Love fortunes?"
The stressed-out fortune teller nodded.
Kuro held out her hand.
Hesitantly, Honami glanced at it and drew back. "Have you no decency?-!" she shrieked. "Your sister… and your brother… and those twins! And… GET OUT OF MY STORE, YOU INCESTOUS, DECADENT DEGENERATE!"
Kuro grinned. "Thanks for the treat!" she chirped, blowing the girl a kiss.
Honami threw herself to the floor, dodging it with a whimper.
Please comment.

Ooooooh, a really good one.
Unequally. Continuation of the Sayo subplot back at Mahora.
"But how were you able to teach Ichigo how to fight?" Rukia asked Yoruichi. "I mean no offense, but... you're a small four legged animal. How could you go beyond the theory in teaching him how to move?"
"Are you implying I'm not a good teacher because I can't move like you humans do?" the black cat questioned.
"Well, you have to admit, it's hard to imagine someone your size being able to do much more than advice on a fight..." Kiri pointed out as politely as anyone could while using those words.
Over at Akagi Ritsuko's apartment, Luna sneezed. Artemis sneezed at Aino Minako's bedroom. At Sakura Kyoko's now empty bedroom, Kyubey didn't sneeze, but his nose itched.
"Well, I wasn't his only teacher," Yoruichi recalled. "And I didn't always use this form..."
For some reason, Ichigo's right eyebrow began to pulse like a seismograph. "Don't."
"Don't what?" Yoruichi asked innocently.
"Don't do what you're about to do!" the boy growled.
"Do what?" Rukia, Sayo and Kiri found themselves asking at once.
"I don't know. I guess he's afraid I'll show my true form. Do you girls want to see it?" the cat asked casually.
"Does it look like a giant tentacled beast with multiple eyes and fanged mouths spouting hellfire?" Rukia asked, making Sayo shriek. "Oh, sorry, Sayo-chan! I forgot you're sensible..."
"I don't look like that at all," Yoruichi said.
"A-A-A being of pure darkness made of five dimensions, with a bowler hat on top of your head?" Sayo guessed next, gasping.
"Not at all!" Yoruichi snapped.
"Rosie O'Donnell?" Kiri asked.
An icy deadly silence fell over the classroom. Finally, Yoruichi could hiss, in a very strained tone, "I hadn't been that insulted in centuries..."
"Ah! Sorry, sorry, I'm very sorry!" Kiri bowed quickly, with manners perfectly copied from her classmate Ai-chan.
"No matter what, don't do it!" Ichigo angrily warned the cat.
Yoruichi seemed to shrug her shoulders. "Very well. I won't." And she only looked aside indifferently.
After a few moments of staring at the feline with distrust, Ichigo relaxed back only a little.
Then Yoruichi's body suddenly glowed in a blue light, and vapor began to spread quickly around her, as her form stretched abruptly, a long mane of purplish hair sprouting from her head. "DAMMIT, YOU LIAR!" Ichigo covered his eyes with his hands very quick, although Rukia noticed he was still looking through his fingers. A man, after all...
Like in an episode of Manimal, Yoruichi's legs grew longer, two of them becoming hairless, brown skinned arms, the other two turning into slender, succulent bare female legs. Her whiskers disappeared. Two of her paws changed into feminine, yet strong hands; the other two became bare feet. From her chest popped out two big breasts, and from her posterior, a very fine derriere. Rukia's Breast Envy sense began to tingle madly.
And then she was standing before them like a glorious goddess, keeping her green eyes down on them, smirking confidently, hands resting at her sides. Ichigo had been reduced to a sputtering mass of nerves.
"You're... a girl," Sayo noted stupidly.
"A naked girl," Kiri snorted, not as impressed as the other three of them. After taking classes with Maria, she was too used to seeing dark skinned people running around with no underwear on. "Put on some clothes, you hippy!"
Yoruichi just laughed it off. "Oh, you know you love it, you dea—" A split second later, she had some of Kiri's shirts and shorts tossed straight into her face, forcefully closing her mouth down.
Ichigo blinked, changing from an impressed and panicky tone to a merely impressed tone. "Wow!" he told Komori. "It's the first time I see anyone tagging her!"
Kiri shrugged, not making much of it. "I'm unbeatable in closed spaces, I guess..."
