Centuries ago, there was an evil man with near-invincible armor. He would have conquered the world, had a warrior monk not finally felled him in battle. After the defeat of the tyrant, the warrior monk divided the power of the armor into nine portions: four that drew strength from the seasons, and five that were powered by the elements. To ensure that such a sinister force would never control the armors again, he attatched a virtuous trait to each armor that its wearer must posses: five Confucian virtues and four samurai virtures.
However, the man known as Talpa, though dead, remained a force to be reckoned with. His soul, corrupt and devious, entered a dimention where he amassed an empire. He recruited four generals and gave them each one of the seasonal samurai armors. Talpa is returning to this world in our time. Five teenagers from the present time have been selected to wear the five elemental Confucian armors and topple the Evil Dynasty: The Ronin Warriors!

Samurai Troopers
He! I remember waking up early as a kid so I could watch Ronin Warriors on TV. The story is actually pretty basic, but what can I say, I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
Similar in plot line, this show is kinda like Sailor Moon, but with five guys that change into samurai to fight Talpa, the great threat against Earth. While this show is a bit on the older side, I still believe it to be an anime classic! Who wouldn't like a great Samurai type of story!?
Overall this is a great show! I don't really know if I'd want to buy the whole thing, but I would like to see it again! By all means rent this series when you get the chance (It's being release by Bandai in April), but it's a great show for kids and anyone that likes a lot of action.
