And now, I thought I share some of my Ideas (AKA: Pipe dreams) that i've been playing with
The first idea/pipe dream I've been playing with is a revisit/revival of the Obscure Anime Juuni Senshi Bakuretsu Eto Ranger (十二戦支 爆烈エトレンジャー). Created by SHAFT, inc in 1995 (Who had Noritaka Suzuki as a character designer), the series
depicts in the fictional world called Mugen, a peaceful interdimensional country populated by animal spirits while sustained by the large "Novel Pole" in the sky. The pole is constructed by "Novel Worlds", worlds derived from humans' fictional stories and literature. But in the deep abyss below Mugen, the evil queen Nyanma plans to destroy Mugen by sending Jyarei Monsters to invade the Novel Worlds and altering their stories. Thus, the Novel Pole will collapse from the worlds' destruction and Mugen sinking to the bottom of the sea.
Mugen's ruler, Princess Aura summons the Eto Rangers (12 chosen animal spirits representing the Chinese Zodiac) on a mission to prevent Mugen's destruction. They ride the space-time transmitting device, Kirinda to travel the Novel Worlds and repair their stories by defeating the Jyarei Monsters.
My idea for this revival/revisit was to add a few more episodes to it to make it a standard 49-51 episode series (The original had 39 episodes) along with adding a few elements that I wanted to see based on some interactions with the characters. I even had some notes on the subject
The 2nd Pipe dream is a Super Sentai idea that also uses said anime as a base (But this will also be a retelling of it with new elements while refrencing the source)
The things about this idea is:
A: It'll be animated (I took a cue from the animated version of a continuation of a Kamen rider series: https://kamenrider.fandom.com/wiki/Fuuto_PI)
B: I actualy came up with this in 2014, but been tweaking it overtime so I can get this right
Again, I have some notes on it and even a Deviant Art page on the subject:

I know it may be strange, but there are actualy fans of this Obscure series around the world, and my otive for these ideas is to introduce a new generation of peole to the anime while trying to keep to the original as possible (Along with breaking a few molds in the Super Sentai Series)
I know I may get flack for this, but I hope that someday these ideas become a reality with the help of the many contacts & Friends i made over the years
Until Then
