It's cheaper, yes, but dubs do increase sells because the majority of people don't like subtitles. If any Sentai that was made into PR was to get dubbed, it'd be Zyuranger. I do agree that it's very unlikily and we should hope for subs instead.

Eitherway, while I'd jump at offical US Zyuranger DVDs, there's some issues that have to be addressed. The PR DVDs are done by Shout Factory. Shout is great normally, but not with subtitles. There were tons of errors on the Transformers anime DVDs. I would prefer Shout to stay away from subbing more shows.

The problem is those releases suck. Now if Saban was willing to consider using a fansub, I think MegaAnon's subs are ideal subs for a US market release. Hasbro did consider using a fan sub, but I think there were any completed fan subs. At least not any that didn't have a ton of honorifications, notes, and used the Japanese names (like Convoy). Hasbro used some pre-existing subs from Europe instead and edited them (making them better and worse).
