For all of you fans of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Anime Expo is going to send you on a nostalgia trip with the announcement that they'll be having a Power Rangers reunion and special panel for the group. Much to John's dismay, though, the cast does not include the Green Ranger, who I agree, was the biggest badass of them all.
The members attending will be the original Power Rangers (Red, Blue, Black, Yellow, and Pink), along with Lord Zedd. Besides the panel and whatever special events will entail, the Rangers will be available for autographs, group photos, and fangirling (which I expect John to do), although I would assume glomping would be out of the question.
This panel is now a definite "must go" on my schedule. I can't wait for the chance to see it. Oh, and by the way, press release after the jump.
[Update: So, it's not even a group that worked together. How is it a reunion, then?]

I was going to say....I heard that the original yellow ranger died in a car crash, and the original red ranger is doing porn now. I was hoping it wasn't true. :(
The original black ranger was also in Space Cases, which is way cool to me.
The girl who played the yellow ranger is dead now, so she couldn't join the reunion. That's not an excuse to not get the others. They should at least get the guys who did Bulk and Skull.
