I guess its a fair point

But I´m really enjoying Zyuranger so far. Really dig the whole fairytale vibe the show has going on.

It's Zyuranger. You can't not have children directly involved with the plot.

It's Japan.

THe country that gave us Battle Royale, Ass Zombie: Toilet of the Dead, Audition, Guinea Pig, Apocalypse Zero, Wicked City, etc, and you want to know why there are kids on a space ship?

Geki 4: things scalate quickly as the venom-ken arc starts, another excellent episode.
Between the jan-isms and all the techniques it feels like half of the episode is untranslated.

The Janisms are weird when you read them in English
As for techniques, I think one sub group did a sub that translated everything (Which I would've followed if they didn't change Rio's name to Leo...I'm petty like that )

Man that sub job killed it for me. Like everything single thing was translated, like over the top translated to the point it wasn't enjoyable I wound up back at Nihon for that one.

It doesn't really bother me I just think it's funny.
Besides Jan wouldn't be the same without zowazowa, he makes me feel all waki waki.

Leo? Odd.

I think the final nail in the coffin was changing the name of the series to something like "Beast Fist Squad Wild Ranger" which I couldn't handle

I just like it. Mainly because it's not actually Japanese. The characters in series don't know what he's saying and have to use context to figure it out sometimes. Translating it just seems...Odd

And technically, his name would be Leo, but calling him Leo would be like calling Jan "Jyan."
It's the accurate translation, but just...No

They actually have two sub tracks for those ones: one with the crazy over-the-top version you mentioned, and the other with the names kept the same. I watched the latter version.
