Power Rangers Samurai Receiving Japanese Dub
 

Continuing the reverse-adaptation of Saban properties, Toei's main page has confirmed that starting August 18th Japan will be experiencing a dubbed adaptation of Power Rangers Samurai.

Strangely, this would appear to break the existing season rotation and suggests that Power Rangers Operation Overdrive will not undergo the dubbing process at this time.

UPDATE! The OrendsRange Blog has a preliminary dubbing cast for this new project:

Wow, you guys are fast. I just came here to post it...

Yo dawg i heard you like dubs...

*Facepalm* Its the same story as Shinkenger except watered down violence, dumb acting and Mega Mode. The dub will remove the bad acting so what's the point if watching this when you can watch Shinkenger proper? At least Dragon Knight's dub made sense to bring over.

And japan shall now hate us :lol

I wonder if anyone will be wondering if they are watching Shinkenger? :lol

If they didn't before I'm sure PRS and PRSS will light the fires.

Whatever floats Saban's boat I guess.

Samurai was so close to Shinkenger…wouldn't putting it in Japanese basically make it into a dumbed down Shinkenger? Even more so if they use the Sentai cast to the dub work like they did for Mystic Force and SPD:lol

And Operation OVerdrive must really be terrible if even Japan is skipping it. :lol

Perhaps Japan is using this not for the quality of the story, but to put Shinken-Oh back on the shelves in addition to toys of the Mega Mode?
How crazy would it be to get Figuarts of Samurai Mega Mode? :lol

Only one I would buy is Gold, and maybe Yellow :lol

I'd be down to get an articulated figure of this mode:
