Anyone remember Haim Saban, cartoon music producer who later became a multimedia mogul after success importing assorted anime and repackaging Power Rangers for international markets? Whatever fans have to say about his work, he did play a big part in popularlizing anime, with his main production company [and TV network The Family Channel] being sold to Disney awhile back.
Apparently he's found himself in the middle of a political controversy, like a monstrous creation of Rita Repulsa, only one the Power Rangers can't finish off by episode's end
