Similarly, GoLion was seen as just another super robot anime in an endless sea of super robot anime when it came out, but Voltron popularized it and now it has a SMP release as well. Anyways, do you know where Dairanger falls on these fan lists? Or what other seasons tend to rank towards the top? |

GoLion's situation I'm not overly familiar with, but did that have an international release? I'm always doubtful on the international aspect of these as candy toys as a thing just don't really exist in the west and of course wouldn't really be as popular. |

https://i.imgur.com/gfj5fqx.jpg VS https://i.imgur.com/epvCMqb.jpg They say Dreamworks on both, so maybe Dreamworks "ordered" it to promote Legendary Defender? Similar to how Toonami helped fund GITS: SAC and the FLCL sequels. |
Wouldn't be too surprised, and that's the big difference right there -- it's a piece of merchandise being sold internationally through Dreamworks, while Super Minipla Sentai mechs don't get anything of the like and are just available in Japan, with everything beyond the main mech even being Premium Bandai. Maybe Hasbro's worried it'll make their current legacy mecha offerings look bad or something.

US release: https://i.imgur.com/kdPUTJv.jpg VS Japanese release: https://i.imgur.com/OwzvNi0.jpg (sorry, couldn't find a larger image) But anyways, I don't think we'll actually find the answers through speculation. I just sincerely hope we get some Dairanger minipla some day... That, and Ohranger. Those two seasons have my favorite mech designs. |
Yeah, and in those cases I could easily see the overseas adaption's popularity playing into the decision there -- but the lack of it now is why it wouldn't matter in regards to Dairanger.

It might be worth noting that Dairanger got a notably healthy set of releases in the Sentai Artisan line, which is a pretty exclusive club. I'm probably even less informed about these things than most people, but for what it's worth, I have to imagine a Minipla DairenOh has a pretty solid chance of getting made... it just might take a bit for them to get around to it.

I do hope this release includes a good chunk of the power animals. Gaoking and GaoHunter are standard, but maybe a GaoIcarus or GaoKong + Elephant as well?
