One of my favorite ********* franchises, Power Rangers, gets it's source footage from a Japanese show. Another franchise I love, Star Wars, was inspired by a Japanese film maker partially. Another franchise I love, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, has a strong Japanese culture connection in it's fictional world. I love Japan's history and culture. It's a cool country. ******** is from movies started there (the suits used in the old Japanese flicks used to reach 180 degrees inside them)!
