My Childhood was Animated pt.3: Ronin Warriors

Before I was consumed by the Anime juggernaut known as the dragonball phenomenon...I was a very loyal and impressed fan of tv series Ronin Warriors. In Japan it is originally entitled Yoroiden-Samurai Troopers. Although it was very short (39 episodes) and two OVA's...This creation was made by two directors named Masashi Ikeda and Mamoru Hamatsu... It was released in Japan in 1988-1989, but wasn't released in the US till 95'...we're sooo late... The story surrounds five youths (Ryo, Sage, Kento, Cye, and Rowen) each have a special samurai armor that they call on to fight evil. Each one controls a diffrent element...(fire,water, earth, halo, and strata)... The story...great... the animation CRAZY..... If you're my age you probably know about this...if you're younger..go check it out.... And...if anyone wants to be gracious enough to buy me the official box set with the complete series and OVA's...be my guest...(hig five) Peace Yah

defiently remember this classic. where ryo had 2 types of armor. red and white. i had a sage action figure and i thought it was funny that one of his items was called breast plate hehehehe which is a chest protector.
