Uh... whatever my TV's player is as I am playing these directly out of the TV's USB port.

Well, the brand new series I have to watch with my laptop connected via HDMI under Media Player Classic, but that is for series like Gokaiger and beyond.

Maybe it is because I watched these series raw for 10 years before they were fully subbed, but when I hear RyuuSei-Oh, I expect to read RyuuSei-Oh because that is its name. Just like I hear Byakkoshinken and expect to see that on screen and not White Tiger Sword. Same goes for Daizyujin, Muteki Shogun, Kakure Dai Shogun, etc.

Let me ask you this out of curiosity. In ToQGer, do you want them to translate the villains names as Baron Black, Madame Black, and General Black instead of Nero, Schwartz, and Noir?

Another example on translating names is sometimes they just don't sound right. Take the series Jigouku Shoujo for example. It translates into Hell Girl, which is what it is called in the US. I think it just sounds dumb that way as it should be Jigouku Shoujo. Yes, either way it correct, but just because it is correct does not make it sound right. Or another one, Golion. Yes, the Beast King being translated in English sounds fine, but what about the Golion? Would you rather they called the series Five Lion in the US?

Did you get know MegaBlue's actor did the voice of Endorf in Kyoryu?
