Yeah, Rider is a series where I'm pretty lenient about language, given that it tends to skew towards a slightly older crowd anyway, but with Sentai I really feel you should keep it as PG as humanly possible. I'll forgive translating "jigoku" as hell because duh, but when you make every single use of words like "yarou" and "kisama" bastard, regardless of who is saying it, or who they are saying it to, it gives the distinct impression the translator genuinely can't think of other ways to write the line. Again, context is huge. Taiga in Ex-Aid can be as crass as he wants, but if you write Emu as a potty mouth, you're doing something wrong.

Stupid? Or so brilliant our feeble mortal minds can never hope to comprehend its true genius? :p

I don't see anything wrong with Blade. I'd show it to my 7 year old if i had one.

I wouldn't show a 7 year old Blade.
Not for any of the reasons you guys listed. It's just because I feel they wouldn't enjoy it because the fights visuals aren't up to snuff and the story beats they just wouldn't really care for, and Blade's story and slower moments are what makes it interesting.
I don't think a 7 year old would understand why Blade using King form is a bad thing, for example.

I originally asked this question because this is the type of thing i was wondering.... I totally support purchasing the dvds. I will be purchasing them in the future now that i know they exist. That being said, I do not like translations for shows like this that try to retain their Japanesness. I prefer a little English flavor so that it makes more sense to me. The honorifics etc are not important to me at all in this case. However, when they are important to a character and the integrity of the show, like Lone wolf and cub, I agree withTokumonkey. Most historical era shows I watch I want the honorifics and "untranslatable" words left Japanese. But with Toku, no. It is just a bunch of silly fun action.
