do you feel toku is dumbed down and made goofy when its adapted for other countries?
i know a lot of people prefer to watch the shows as they originally came out in japan. i watch movies and shows from japan but the ones i've watched are just subtitled rather than having so much of the plot and culture changed for u.s. audiences like so many toku tv series. my question to people who have seen how much the shows change when they are adapted is do you feel toku is dumbed down and made goofy when its adapted for other countries?

Hmm....I felt Super Sentai more serious than Power Rangers. I remember in Super Sentai has bloody scenes like Geki's hands injuried in Zyuranger episode 32. I don't really remember if in Power Ranger has bloody scenes as well.

yeah other then saban nothing really comes to mind except for when tsuburaya adapted grid man into super human samurai syber squad. i know sentai shows are meant for kids but can be more brutal in japan as mentioned. heroes even die over there. i sometimes wonder if they were pressured to make the shows less violent for adaptions and thought filling the gaps with more comedy was what kids over here would like. i haven't really sat and watched unadapted stuff but its something i want to do.

A criminals sealed in SPD Cards is really similar to Londerz Prisoner when they size become action figure scale after defeated by Timerangers.

It depends on the show. I feel like the older Sentai shows did had some more serious subject matter compare to PR. Zyuranger may have been a dumb kids show in Japan, but it still had some serious themes like Death which MMPR never really did.
Also in the 80's, 90's and the early 2000's, any Japanese kid show that was dubbed or adapted in the US, had to do changes to make it more American TV friendly for the Kids Network. Like with Voltron, Robotech, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z and several others. TV shows these days in the US are a bit less strict compare to what it was 15-20 years ago if you ask me. |
No the shows are just as goofy in Japan.

Honestly, the only way to answer this is if toku becomes more mainstream as most of western toku happened during the RADICAL 90's
