That minor nitpick aside though, I haven't noticed any spelling errors yet.

I absolutely hate it me when mecha names (or proper names in general) are translated. At the point anyone translates those names I feel the localization of the dialogue has gone way too far. A name is a name. It doesn't need to be converted into any other language to be consumable by an audience.

Ryuuseiou
Dairen'O
Star Tenma
Star Qilin
Star Houou
Star Shishi
Won Tiger
Byakko
White Tiger Sword
Dairenrod
Star Cutter
Big Wheel Blade
Dairinken Ch'i Power Shot
Mythical Ch'i Beast
Heavenly Treasure Lai Lai Jewel
Aura Changer
Ch'i Bomber

It's nothing major, it's just personal preference. I do like them translating the names of the villains like Master Mirror Makeup, Key Jester, Tofu Hermit, etc.

I could never read it all in time and either had to pause it or go on without knowing, and they'd never show the note again. It drove me crazy.
