You're confusing Saban Brands with Saban Entertainment, they're not the same company. Disney bought Saban Entertainment and got a studio and warehouse with the purchase, which is now owned by CBS for NCIS to film in. Saban Brands never had any of that. |

Somebody at Hasbro will give a shit about Power Rangers, and it will find a home. I'm not trying to kiss ass, I'm being honest and realistic. Hasbro bought the franchise as a heritage/legacy franchise, not to suddenly become their #1 priority. It will be part of a bigger picture, and I think an animated series is a great way to continue growing the franchise whilst not relying at all on Japan moving forward.
Putting it under Boulder Media is smart too because Boulder Media is specifically set-up as a way for Hasbro to circumvent issues of impartiality whilst producing content for third parties like BBC and Cartoon Network, plus gets them a massive Irish tax break of 30%. |

It probably helps that nearly all adult fans of Power Rangers are also fans of Super Sentai, and enjoy seeing how the Sentai gets adapted. In fact, I often see people saying PR should be more like SS, not less. Although, something you said does honestly raise a big question. If Power Rangers is going to be animated...will it still be focused on here as a main property, even though its no longer Tokusatsu? Or will it be moved to the 'Other Series' section? It'd be interesting to get a mod's opinion, there. Quote:
It treats Kamen Rider as a premium property - so if Hasbro were willing to pay for it and adapt it Live Action, they probably could. Last edited by The Chaos Entity; 05-27-2018 at 07:02 AM.. |

Well it's distributed by Amazon Studios now, right down to copyright (outside Japan), so I imagine they could afford to pay up. I hope it's performed well for them!

It does seem like it is, yeah. Makes me wonder if there'll be more Amazons-esque Riders in the future to be subbed in the same manner. |

I feel bad for the people who work there, but the company itself never was one best actually.

Whilst getting a picture of their office, I found their Glass Door page. They have a 1.5 score out of 5. I think that 1.5 is down to the fact they hire complete newbies on the cheap in major positions, otherwise it'd be 0 out of 5...

I doubt we will get a animated PR show since Toei makes money from suits and footage. I do think a original Power Rangers season is more likely though. Hasbro can pay Toei make suits for them if they have the money for it.
