I still doubt we will get anything after Kakuranger. Most people stop caring about Power Rangers when Zeo or Turbo started. I think most people may not buy Ohranger and Carranger on DVD.

Since Shout! were unable to finish Big Bad Beetleborgs on DVD, I would imagine if Shout! ever release Goranger on DVD then they would only release Season 1 on DVD ;P.

Please stop making ridiculous unfounded assumptions. This is the last time you should needlessly confuse people.

Maybe it's nostalgia speaking, but I loved Zyuranger, and have yet to find a sentai I enjoy as much. I'll buy a copy asap.

Do we have a confirmed release date for the DVDs?

That is how I feel about DaiRanger. Well, Kaku comes close, but still misses on a few things for me.

How do you know?

It's lucky guess. Dairanger and Kakuranger were also used for MMPR. They can use those two to cash in on MMPR nostalgia. I doubt Ohranger and Carrnager would sell well here in the US. Maybe I'm wrong, but who knows. Even if they do somehow release the other Super Sentai shows on DVD, they might leave it unfinished if they don't sell well.

How about this: get Shinkenger and have commentaries by the PR:Samurai cast.

Buying this ASAP. Hope they get the rights to more SS seasons.

I wonder if we will see more info at Power Morphicon? The actor who is playing Geki will be there, so it can be a good way to promote the DVD.

YES! YES YES YES YES YES!

I always feel bad because I don't really buy toys (besides the occasional changer) but I watch all the sentai I can get my hands on. With this I can FINALLY support Super Sentai! And what a great (and obvious) choice for the first season to bring over

It seems like the people on the TVN forums are upset about it because they actually fear it'll be translated too much. You also have Toku hipsters that want Toku to be only undeground. This is why we don't have nice things in life

How can something be translated too much?

If you don't have to pause to read a pointless and pedantic TL note, it's for filthy casuals and therefore terrible. :lol

Some people believe that there are certain things that have no linguistic equivalent in other languages.

They are wrong.

There may not be an English word that means the exact same thing as "itadakimasu," but the idea behind the word is still easily expressed in English. So are honorifics and the words people use to refer to family members.

The japanese scientist Ryoumg Warring says hi.

Okay, I guess, but names can go either way. Neither one is wrong though just as long as they are consistent. Sure, I would love to see the subs say Daizyujin, but if they say Great Dinosaur God, then I'm okay with that as long as they spell it that way every time. I don't want another Zechs Merquise/Zechs Merchise/Zechs Marquise situation.

TVN's subs for Den-O were annoying since they kept things untranslated. It's like that they want you to use Google when watching it or expect you to know it. Reminds me how Tokyo Pop was their manga where they left some things untranslated compare to Viz.

Nice... This is going to be good :)

Great! I grew up watching this in Thailand with Thai voiceover......I am fluent in Thai but only in Sentai speak. I

Is it such a bad thing to want people to learn about something? :eyebrow
I know I tend to use Google if I want to know more about something.

You're not learning much of anything when you need to Google random Japanese words if you happened to blink and miss a translation note for one of the Imagin's billion variants on their catch phrases...

It is when you're supposed to be translating something.

I prefer mecha names to be left untranslated, simply because it avoids problems like Go-Buster Oh (which translates to Go-Buster King) later getting a form actually called Go-Buster King.

Stuff like Itadekimasu needs to be translated though. "Let's eat" or "Thanks for the food!" or something similar suffices. I also am really not fond of honorifics being used in subs.

In terms of subs for the masses, translate everything and maybe leave notes for the mecha names.

I rather liked GUIS's sub of the series, I hope it's done like that.

I can guess why some people want things untranslated because it sounds better. Most of the names for DBZ in Funimation's dubs are untranslated because their names would be equally stupid when translated to English.

If they want to keep the Mecha names in Japanese that's fine, but stuff like oniichan be translated. If they do translate the Mecha's names in English then I'm okay with it. Great Beast God still sounds cool nevertheless.

I want to support this. But considering I don't have the money and I have not heard good things about Zyuranger, I can't support this. Maybe for Christmas if it releases then?

How not heard good things about Zyu? Have you not been paying attention to my praises of it? I just rewatched the show two weeks ago and have praises for it in the What are you watching topic.

Whoever it is that says these supposedly bad thing about Zyuranger, I just don't get the criticism. I know it's an early 90's sentai so it's gonna have it's issue, but there are no inherent "problems" with that show.

Zyuranger is good in my opinion. I think people didn't like it for having annoying kids and the show didn't live up to Jetman. Jetman was awesome back in 1991 and I think fans at the time had hopes that Zyuranger would live up to it. Despite older fans not liking it, the show had better toy sales then Jetman.

Because it's dull 75% of the time. The story was spread absurdly thin throughout the show. Now I know filler is a given, but there's a difference between filler breaking up a story for a bit and filler being huge chunks of the show. The only time the story really shines through and thus something major happens is the first couple of episodes when they gather all of their weapons and the components for DaiZyuJin, Burai's story, and the finale when Bandora goes to end it all. Outside of that, nothing really important happens. And even when you separate all the filler and evaluate the story alone, it still isn't that great outside of the first couple of episodes with all of the quests.

Zyuranger isn't a great show, it's meh to me and out of all of the Sentai I've seen, it's the weakest. I enjoyed the ride as it happened, but looking back it isn't that great anymore. I still enjoy the show and like it enough to get the full SHF team and buy the DVD set, but when I have to think of it on a critical level, it just isn't that great and I've seen much, much better. So the criticism as a whole that I hear and read a lot is what I said, too much filler which makes the show drag on and become boring with not enough excitement going on unless it about the whole 25% of story the show has.

As opposed to all the Super Sentai series with tightly knit serialized plots like...?

As I said, I know filler is something every one has. But compared to (IMO at least) a series like Goakiger where the story always seemed to be episodic and when there was filler that played of some importance, Zyurange doesn't hold up. You will literaly get three or six episodes of story and then another six or ten of filler. It kills the buzz you get from watching the story unfold. Heck when I get the DVD I'll probably just end up never watching every single episode and just watch the key ones.

This is simply my opinion though and I know you nor anybody else is bound to fully agree with me.

While I enjoy Jetman, I think it suffers from weaker monster designs. One thing I think they both have in common though is that Yellow and Blue are vastly underdeveloped.

I personaly think the 90s was the best decade of Sentai. Outside of ZyuRanger, everything from Jetman through TimeRanger was golden. Each series felt fresh with new ideas, new concepts, they were trying new themes, and most of all, they were taking risks. Yes, they all have their flaws, but honestly, I just don't think any of the series from the last several years sans GekiRanger have any lasting power. I love Gokaiger, it is in my top 10, but there is nothing truly new in the show outside of the ability to use every ranger power.

The story is not spread thin. Episodes 1-7, 9-10, 17-23, 28-32, 34, 37, 40-43, and 47-50 are all episodes that are part of the plot of the show.

That encompasses the gathering of the weapons, the birthing of Daizyujin, the introductions to Gnome, who is part of the reason Burai comes about. The introduction to the dinosaur eggs. Burai's awakening, his acquiring Dragon Ceasar, and learning about his remaining life time. Bandora's acquisition of the new clay for her monsters, Dai Satan's introduction and attack on Earth, Geki learning about Burai's peril, Geki trying to make a deal to save Burai, Burai losing his time to save a girl and her brother, recovering the dinosaur eggs, the death of Burai, and finally, Dai Satan's return with Cai and then the final battle. That is more plot than nearly everything I have seen from the 80s.

You could say the same about any Sentai series though. Your feelings on Zyu are my feelings on Gosei, Go-On, Go-Bus, ToQ, Mask, Bio, Turbo, Five, etc.

I'm not the biggest fan of Zyuranger, but it's in no way a bad series. Nor is it really a series where you should just base an opinion of hearing things. Watch it for yourself and then judge it.

So you'd recommend picking this up and at least giving it a try?

I'd say the same about any Super Sentai series getting a DVD release I think.

Except maybe Sun Vulcan
