Interestingly enough, Zyuranger was not the first sentai that was adapted for english audiences. Back in the 80's USA aired a parody dub of Dynaman, it only lasted for 6 episodes but here you go. There was also a complete english dub of Bioman that aired in the Philippines. You can find it here. Larryb fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Mar 31, 2013 |

Light Gun Man posted:And Dekaranger. I never really got that, was Umeko actually supposed to be the leader of the team or did she just think she was? But yeah as mentioned there's been 2 female reds so far (though only 1 in sentai) and 1 female green if you count Mele from Gekiranger. No male pinks technically but Gokaiger did do an All-Pink transformation in one of the movies.

Does anyone get the feeling that Kyoryuger might be one of the shorter seasons? We're 8 episodes in and it seems like the plot has been moving along rather quickly lately.

Light Gun Man posted:Pretty sure Turbo is considered one of the worst if not the worst season of Power Rangers, mostly because the blue ranger is a little kid who magically becomes adult sized when he transforms. Sentai technically did that first (Kou from Dairanger). Though it should be noted that both franchises only tried the little kid as a ranger thing once and then never again(aside from one episode of Gekiranger but I'm not sure if that really counts). I didn't find Kou quite as annoying as Justin but I still don't think its something that should be attempted again. Larryb fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Apr 30, 2013 |

Probably getting close though, I'd say maybe 13-14 more episodes at the least(or maybe less considering how quickly this show's plot seems to be moving).

I guess the Wizard of Oz motif for the villians in the series applies to more then just appearances then. The Scarecrow got a brain (Luckerio deciding to leave the Deboss legion), the Tin Man found his heart (Aigaron confessing to Candelira and attempting to atone for his actions), Dorothy's found a new home and I'm guessing eventually the Lion is going to find his courage and break free from Endolf's control.

Out of curiosity, why is it that most people refer to the series as Kamen Rider and not Masked Rider which is both the literal and, according to Toei, official translation of the title? Hell, in Kabuto they literally refer to it as the "Masked Rider System". Does it have everything to do with not wanting to be associated with Saban's ill-fated take on Black RX by the same name?

Twelve by Pies posted:Not sure what continuity errors you're referring to. If you mean Torin being there, even though the Vs movies come out after the show is over, the Vs movies themselves usually take place around the middle/early end of the newer team, and after the end of the old team. This is why Jin was gone but Torin was still around. I believe there are only two VS movies that actually take place after the newer series has finished: Goranger VS JAKQ and Gingaman VS Megaranger.

If you don't want to put up with TV-Nihon subs there is a surprisingly good english dub of it that aired in the Philipines. Also, is Tendou supposed to be a parody of that kind of character or are we actually supposed to take him seriously? Because while I'm liking the series so far the whole Mr. Perfect routine is kind of becoming annoying. And out of curiousity, do we ever meet this much talked about grandmother of his?

Rei_ posted:Decade is 2 parts awful show, 1 part Shinichiro Shinikura really loves trolling the poo poo out of the Rider fandom (he came up with the Heisei vs. Showa poll for the last Rider War if you remember). Somewhat inadvertantly but he's also a really like, numbers-oriented Producer, for instance, he was the producer who was involved with Tsuyoshi Kida and Shiniji Oishi leaving Hibiki, and being replaced with Toshiki Inoue. (I think he comes onboard literally around episode 31 and brings the new writing staff with him? idk a lot of this poo poo is hard to research.) On the same subject, is there a reason why they decided to make the Rider World's alternate retellings of the series being tributed rather then just a straight continuation of it like Gokaiger did (stuff like Kiva being a literal child, Faiz taking place in a high school or Agito where all three main riders were the same person)? And for that matter, did any actors who played the previous Riders in their respective series even reprise their roles in Decade or were they all replaced by new people?

Scratchman Apoo posted:Yes sir! They also had Agito's actor back in the movie and Kiva's actor was kinda reprising his role. Also we got voice only roles from Ixa/the Hopper Bros/and Ouja. All four of those guys also did voice overs for a stage show of all things, so I can't imagine they'd be hard to get back for much anything else. Didn't Den-O's actor also provide the voices for most if not all of the main Imagin in both his own series and Decade as well?

Though the thing is there were plenty of plot threads in Decade that they could have built a story around but none of them ever really went anywhere. Hell, once they ran out of Heisei Riders they could have had Tsukasa visiting Showa worlds for the second half of the show, maybe ending with the world of the original Kamen Rider. That might have been interesting. Instead they just scattered them around in movies and original worlds with the exception of Black/RX and Amazon. On the other hand, the series did feature the first Sentai/Rider crossover which wasn't bad (Although technically Power Rangers did it first in this case).

On the Sentai side of things there were also dubs made for Goranger (Which are pretty terrible actually, it's like they just had the episode play with the Japanese audio intact and just recorded people talking over it), JAKQ (Haven't found this one), and Bioman (Probably the most competently done of the 3. Aside from changing a lot of the names and some of the voice work leaving a lot to be desired it's a pretty faithful translation of the original.) Not sure if there were any others though.
