But I'm watching the TVN subs of Boukenger and this?

That is without a doubt bullshit.

Well, it's better than nothing at all I guess. It's at least better to watch those 10 various episodes than all of Dino thunder.

Kakuranger episodes 1-8 (8 just went up). Seen the first 4 before. Decided to rewatch them because the translation was changed slightly. Still love them.

Total of 10 episodes from different sub groups that are seemingly dead.

What? It just means "Thanks for the food." :lol. Although, I honestly don't like sub-groups when they do that. If it's like a Henshin trinket like "Taka Tora Batta" it's fine, but for a phrase like that, I'd want it translated :/

Yeah, but I didn't know that. I'd never seen that phrase before in my life. To me it was just a random bit of Japanese that makes no sense beyond having something to do with paying your bill at a restaurant.

In general, TVN's Boukenger subs are really, really bad (and not just for the crap video quality). That line aside, there are a lot of problems with it. The show is full of homophone confusion ("you're" instead of "your," for example), malapropisms, and just plain awkward English ("I'm brimming with earnestness!"). I've seen a lot of TVN's stuff and I can't think of a show they've done with worse translations. Honestly, part of me wants to just drop this and watch something from a different group. I have to keep telling myself that if I can watch Kamen Rider X on HK subs, I can make it through this. It probably helps that I'm really enjoying the show (so much better than Operation Overdrive, especially their Blue).

Would be nice if they could go back and redo if with improvements and better video like they're doing with Kamen Rider 555 and Den-O (I think they did it with Den-O anyway), but I guess they don't need any more projects weighing them down.
