The "I get it for free so I can't say much" thing I don't agree with. Just because it's free, doesn't excuse lazy, sloppy, or bad work.
The subbers shouldn't be getting the kind of recognition t-n wants for their work. The subs should be about the show and the show only. Yeah this is my opinion, but it is one shared by a great many people. T-N puts their own names on the credits, but they don't bother translating the Japanese credits of the ACTUAL people that did the show in the first place? As far as recognition, I can't name a single person involved with T-N. So if recognition is the goal, they aren't getting it from me. My attitude is that through the efforts of T-N and other subbing groups, I get to see the tokusatsu shows which I otherwise would have no way of seeing with any sort of English translation. If that means they want to put their names in the credits that, to me, is worth the price of admission.

But what I can't stand is changing a proper noun - a name of anything is its name no matter where you are. If a sub group changes a mecha's name or god forbid a person's name in their subs ("Brotou"...), they are doing something very wrong. And that's one of the main reasons I don't like some of the other random subs I've looked at in the past year or so I've been actively watching Sentai and Kamen Rider.

I will never understand that "As long as I get the gist of the show I am happy". That's the same kind of mentality I see when people say how great HK's are, the stuff made up from RRR, and the CSC releases.

How do you watch tokusatsu? I'm curious to hear the answer.

I've been watching toku since before there really was a toku fandom online. I've watched it raw for years. I also watch it subbed now. I only bother to watch a series subbed if it's one I really loved. Most sentai i've seen before, so unless it's a sentai I really love I just pass. Some of the ones I am damn glad to see subbed are Dairanger, Sun Vulcan, and Changeman. I hear changeman is getting a better sub.
If you meant more in general. I watch toku on a tv.

If you meant more in general. I watch toku on a tv. This was exponentially worse with daikaiju movies, since Toho's theatrical efforts tend to have a lot more plot than an episode of Ultraman, Kamen Rider, or the Super Sentai, heh. In the end it always comes down to personal preference. I'd prefer to watch a tokusatsu movie or tv show with a quality set of subtitles, but if I can't get that I am willing to go with a HK sub (for years my copy of Godzilla vs King Ghidorah was a HK sub) or raw. (Dubbing is a whole other issue which I won't get into now.) I generally like the subbing jobs I have seen from T-N but I am not married to them; I'll try other outfits to see how I like their work. But at the end of the day we're all tokusatsu fans, however we consume it. And that's the important part -- the entree, not the utensils.
