90s kids in America grew up with the Power Rangers franchise, which has been going strong for 30 years already. However, in Japan, these shows' inspiration series had been making waves for a while: Super Sentai. While the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers aired in 1993 in the West, the first Super Sentai show debuted in 1975.

The franchise has had its share of highs and lows and certainly isn't as popular as it once was.
