The Power Rangers franchise has become a cultural touchstone by featuring stories of courage, friendship, and epic battles against the forces of evil.
This success paved the way for Western audiences towards the concept of super sentai, a Japanese genre in which five heroes acquire special powers, wear different colored costumes and use mecha (giant robots) to face threats, be they alien or Earth itself .
The American versions of Power Rangers are adaptations of the original Toei Company series. In Brazil, the series aired on several channels, including Rede Globo, Band, TV Culutra, Fox Kids, Jetix, among others.
For enthusiasts or curious people who want to explore this universe, we have selected 8 series available for online viewing.
