Yeah, rather just see a particular show get subbed than adapted. It becomes weirder when the adapted show decides to take story elements from the original show and put it in theirs.

I'm currently watching Dragon Knight myself and I'm already very invested in the show's story and the action scenes are a very nice mixture of pre-existing Ryuki footage and the ones made exclusively for the US.

I loved Dragon Knight but the idea of American adaptions in this day and age is absolutely fucking stupid. It's pointless. I do kind of like where Power Rangers is at, though.
Sub the source material and you'll draw in new fans without worrying about dividing the fanbase even further. It's literally that simple. Last edited by Chasing; 08-12-2021 at 10:38 PM.. |

That's why I think dubs just for a mainstream normal TV time slot would be a good compromise, and people who want to see the subtitles can then seek them out. Dubs are not necessarily aimed at the same audience as subs so they're not really competing, at least it doesn't affect the actual story or characters itself and at least for outside the US it would be good to have a ''South Korea'' approach where some years you get the PR and some years the Sentai etc.
I do however acknowledge that in practice Power Rangers is better than the Sentai in some cases, as for any non-PR toku adaptations though KRDK wasn't that great and it is only VR Troopers that I can see myself really wanting to sit and complete now (sorry)! |

In Indonesia, there is a television station that regularly broadcasts Kamen Rider Dub (and creates a YouTube channel for the series that has ended broadcast on TV). I believe it works well. Last I saw, they had listed several episodes of Zero One already. it's just that they don't show the series in order. as far as i know, they had exaid, build, black, ziO, then gaim and now, W is on television. no big deal, except maybe for the kids watching ziO, maybe they will be confused with the previous riders.

Oh man I really can't help myself can I? I start going down these YouTube rabbit holes and suddenly find myself stumbling upon somebody doing a whole lecture course on the Grongi language, which I am totally going to sit down and watch at some point, because of course I am.
I mean, how else am I going to learn to sing the Kuuga theme song in Grongi? (My thing is supposed to be Ghost, right? How did I get here)
